When We're Alone

Chapter 20

*Leroy*

It was 12:15 AM, we were all waiting in the airport for our plane which was arriving at 1:00 AM. I sat besides Carlos and Matty, and Hayden sat on the ground in front of me with her legs stretched out,

My papa couldn't take his eyes off me, Emily on the other hand was busy taking selfies. I wonder what my dad's problem was? He kept looking at me like he wanted to punch me. I roll my eyes at thought of getting punched by my dad in front of Hayden, that would be embarrassing.

"Leroy." My dad hisses, from the corner of the room where the door was.

I look up at him. "Yeah?"

"Come here?"

I leave my belongings on my seat and walk over to my dad sighing. "What's up?"

"My friends family are coming with us to this trip." Papa says firmly but cheerfully, as though he was up to something.

"Okay?" I say with a confused look. Why would I care?  The airport was starting to become more and more full, as it was almost time for us to leave.

"The thing is Leroy, you and Hayden-"

"What?" I interrupt, with my jaws tensing.

"I know you're never going to be anything, because if you do, I will kill you." Papa says with a laugh.

I let out a small forced laugh, but my laugh sounds sarcastic as hell, because that wasn't even a joke, he'd really kill me.

"There's a young girl, your age. Her name is Bella, and you will have to stay with her so she's not alone." My dad, points his head towards a group of people coming our way.

What the fuck?

"Why do I have to be friends with her?" I say creasing my forehead.

"Who knows? Maybe it'll turn into something more." My dad winks at me.

"You never let me be in a relationship, so why now?" I say with a confused expression, glaring at my dad with anger. He's got to be kidding me.

He clenches his jaw. "Because, she's the right girl for you. So make it work, or else." Papa says, before walking over to the family that was coming towards us. I try not get angry, and get rid of the angry expression by replacing it with a warmer expression.

The family approach us, their mom was short with long black hair, and looked a lot younger and attractive than her husband who was also short with not the best features. There was also a boy, who seemed my age, maybe older but I wasn't sure, and then there was the girl.

The girl was tall, with blonde hair which you could tell was fake, her legs were long as hell. And she was damn beautiful with her figure. She was completely the opposite of Hayden, and I wasn't into that.

"Hola." She says in a sweet tone. While her mom and dad, and the brother, who didn't seem too interested in any of us, say hello to my dad. I watch Emily drag the boys, and Hayden to come and say hello.

"Hi." I say awkwardly. She's probably Mexican.

"¿Cómo estas?"

"Good." I say with an awkward smile. "How are you?" I reply.

"Bien." She replies. I could feel Hayden's eyes stabbing me, I didn't want to speak Spanish with her, because Hayden didn't understand, and I knew it'd only piss Hayden off.

"I'm Bella." She smiles, looking at me and Hayden.

"Leroy." I say quietly.

I look at Hayden who was quiet, she looks back at me, so I nudge her a little for her to say her name. "I'm Hayden." She says in an awkward tone.
