It was about nine in the morning and I made my way into the beautiful Roman Catholic Church wearing :
Outfit
I walked towards the front and made my way into the second aisle from the front. I placed the bouquet of roses I had and my purse on the pew and I sat next to one of my friends from when I started attending this church. Her name is Eli Morales, she is 19.
I smiled at her and took a seat waiting for the priest to enter and begin mass. Once Father Tracy O’ Sullivan entered everyone stood up and gave all of their undivided attention to him.
Once Mass was over I made my way over to the shrine in the front of the whole church and I placed the roses in front and bowed. I then went out the doors of the church. I saw Eli with her little brother and I walked over to them. I tapped Eli on her shoulder and she turned around and I gave her a hug. She said in her soft angelic voice,
“Hey Sirena.” I looked at her and said.
“Hey Eli.” I then turned to her brother and said,
“Hey Joshy. Can’t wait to see you on Thursday.” Joshy was only 8 and I baby-sat him every second Thursday of the month while his parents were at their Salsa classes and Eli was in College.
I got down to his level and hugged his chubby little figure and I pointed to my right cheek indicating for a peck. He did as told and hugged my neck. I laughed and picked him up carrying him bridal style. I heard him let out a few little laughs and I heard Eli say,
“I swear he loves you more than he loves me.” She said pouting with mock hurt. I rubbed her shoulder and said,
“Not even whenever I do art project with him he always wants to give them to you. He told me he wants to be just like his big sis.” I then felt my phone vibrate. I held put Joshy down and looked through my purse and finally found my phone. I had a missed call from Taylor? I excused myself from Eli and Joshy and dialed Taylor’s number. It rung once before he picked up; I heard his deep voice say,
“Hello?” I smiled and replied,
“Hey Tay. You called?” He then responded by saying,
“Oh yea Skittles. I just wanted to see how you were doing. And I have some good news.” I could hear him smiling which caused me to smile even wider. Whenever I talk to my big brother he always manages to brighten my day and my mood; we are definitely close, I would have to say I’m closer to him then to Adriana. I then spoke,
“I have been uhm okay and what’s the good news? TELL ME!” I heard him chuckle at my enthusiasm and he then replied by saying,
“I’m going to be visiting next week and staying until you go on break. Then you’re coming with me to L.A. I already told mom and I wanted to save the best for last.” I was glad that he didn’t ask about me saying I was ‘okay’ because usually he can tell when I’m hiding something. But I am so excited to have my big bro back; I haven’t seen him since his birthday in February. Before I could answer him he said,
“And when I get there I expect you to tell me what’s been going on. I was talking to Jordan and Ryan yesterday and they were avoiding the subject about Cody. You can’t hide anything from me Skittles; I have cameras everywhere.” I nervously chuckled and said,
“Yea right, Taylor. But I will just tell you that Cody and I are over.” He sighed and said,
“I’m surprised you two lasted a year. I didn’t hate him but again I didn’t necessarily like him. I’m glad he’s a gonner. But you have to tell me why when I get there and that would be on Friday at nine at night. You gonna pick me up?” I mentally sighed at the change of subject and immediately said,
