He left, came back, now what?

Pt. 7

Joel: so Angelica as I can see you hit puberty why and how did you change so fast in under a year *asking like a news person*
Angel: well Joel that is a question you can ask Xitlalic for me cause I don't wanna answer that
Angelica: *looks away and runs to her room crying*
Joel: I deal with her after I ask you *looks at Xitlalic*
Xitlalic: your such a horrible brother
Erick: well if your not going to check on her then I will it's rude to leave a girl crying
Erick: *gets up and heads over to Angelica's room* hey are you ok can I come in?
Angel: sure
Erick: are you ok?
Joel: ok is how did she come from looking like a total nerd into according to erick a "hot" girl cause it takes a lot for erick to call a girl hot
Xitlalic: *laughs*
Joel: no but seriously
Xitlalic: ok is Angelica's best guy friend left for something I forgot what it was for but he left he was one of the few people defending her at school and people started bullying her
Xitlalic: she became depressed to the point where she talked to nobody and you know Angelica is a charter box
Joel: tru
Xitlalic: I respected that she wanted space so I let her be cause Angelica dealt with it in her own way then she met James James reminded her of her friend except he had brown eyes and brown hair
Joel: oh so that's james
Xitlalic: yea so shut up she opened up to him about everything that happened she started talking to us again and the people kept bullying her so she changed her look she hated wearing make up but to her she thought she had no choice she asked your dad to take her to buy make up and all these new clothes I thought she would never even touch
Joel: so foundation concealer highlighted crop tops and short shorts
Xitlaic: *nods*
She finally gave in and cut her hair everyone stopped bullying her and she got happy now she doesn't let anyone walk over her she's tired of it
Joel: did she cut
Xitlalic: ...
Joel: please answer the question did she cut
Xitlalic: I can't answer that cause I don't know if she did
*to erick and angelica*
Erick: please don't tell me you cut
Angelica: if I show you something you promise not to tell anyone😕
Erick: *nods*
Angelica: *takes off the hair ties from her wrist and shows her scars*
Erick: I know we just met but if you ever need someone to talk to you always have me here's my number
Angelica and Erick: *switch phones and they type in each other's phone number*
Erick: bad timing but can I use the restroom
Angel: *laughs and starts putting the hair ties back on* yea down the hall to the right
Erick: thanks
Narrator:
While erick was going to the bathroom he noticed a picture not just any picture but a picture of him and Angelica he doesn't understand how she has the picture but then a couple seconds he realizes that he's been talking to Angelica his best friend he starts crying realizing his best friend wasn't happy for the past year and blames it on himself for not being there for her

*Ericks pov*
I should've stayed she could've been happier she wouldn't have cut she would've been mine if I had just worked up the courage to ask her out she would've been mine by now but she probably has a crush on that James guy wait...

*short flashback when he was talking to Angelica about two minutes ago*
Angelica: James reminded me of my best friend
Erick: and who was she?
Angel: not she a he he was my best guy friend since I was about two I met him the weirdest way possible *laughs a little*
Erick: *laughs a little too* how did you guys meet
Angel: I went outside fell off my scooter I started crying he was my neighbor he heard me crying went up to me and we hung out ever since
Erick: sounds like a super hero *laughs*
Angel: yea a cute one I had well I still have a crush on him but he left to go on La Banda and I never saw him again cause I didn't have a phone at the time and I probably will never see him again
*present*
She likes me wow my best friend likes me ok I should get back to her but I can't tell her it's me I'll wait for the perfect moment to ask her out
*that night*
Joel: ....
