August 27th 7:04pm 2017

     I was at home on the couch watching a movie or whatever was even on TV while eating a bowl of popcorn Clara was at some little get together with friends and Alexa was at a friends house and my mom was still at work.

I heard a knock at my door and it's only 8:45 pm right now and let me say that my neighborhood isn't the safest place at night so I just yelled out.

"Who's there??" I said getting slowly from the couch

"It's Fernando" all the anxiety turned into relaxation as soon as I heard his voice I went over to open the door to see him with a pink bruise on his left eye and a busted lip from earlier in the fight.

"Hi.." was all I could say, I was happy to see him but again I was disappointed because he promised he wouldn't do anything unless Aaron did , Aaron clearly did nothing.

"Look I'm really sorry for fig-

"Why'd you fight him? You said you wouldn't unless he tried some funny shit and he didn't so why fern I thought I could count on you.."

"Look if you let me come in I'll explain calmly if you can be calm too.." he said getting very nervous I was confused as too why he was getting nervous but I didn't think much of it so I let him in.

"Look I'm sorry if we made you feel bad we didn't mean to we're just sca-

"So what! I know what I'm doing fern I know that was Derek did to me can happen again god damnit just get off my fucking case about it" I yelled out plumping onto the couch rubs my hands over my face. Fernando sat next to me not saying anything

"Point is that I saw Aaron comforting you and I guess I got jealous because well I thought I could only do that" he said looking down I didn't say anything instead I just hugged him which he immediately hugged back.

"Me and you will always be best friends dummy" which caused him to calmly chuckle and let go

"So whats up?" I said sitting down patting the spot next to me so he can sit once again

"I'm just bored my parents aren't home right now"

"Ah well shall I call Irina over?" He nodded I called Irina

'Hey wanna come over?'

'Uh sure yeah my parents aren't home anyways they're out eating I'll be on my way'

"Alright see you then be careful' with that she hung up I looked over at Fernando he gave a look in disbelief

"What?" I said setting on my phone on the table

"Seriously? You're going to let her walk over here in the dark?" He said lift up his hand in the air towards the door, kind of forgot that my neighbor isn't the safest place at night but then she lives like 3 houses away from me.

"Oh cmon she lives three houses away from me"

"Ah quit being naive Lizbeth"

"I'm not being naive she's walked over in the dark before duh"

"If she dies she's coming after you my friend" he said pointing at me jokingly.

"Yeah yeah" we both got up to go into the kitchen to get some juice and more popcorn for when Irina arrives.

~ Irina's POV ~

    I was on my way to Lizbeth's house since she called me over to hang for the night I was hoping she would've called during the day she must've forgotten that our neighborhood isn't the safest place at night, crackhead house two houses between mines and Lizbeth's house, gangsters meeting up, cars beeping,dogs barking at whatever, the typical hood.

I was walking down the sidewalk I was walking past the crackhead house when I hear laughing coming from the backyard and it wasn't that crazy insane laugh you hear in scary movies, it sounded like someone was sober I was so curious to see but I was risking my own life. I was creeping down the little sidewalk along the right side of the house to see Gonzalo? And Ricardo as well as Aaron they were sitting in wooden logs and had a big trash can with fire flaming on the top what the hell were they doing here they all live up in the south they were talking but I couldn't hear so I got closer until my dumbass step on a stick and it had to crack which caused their heads to turn my direction I immediately started running faster like never before looking I put my hoodie over my head and before I knew it I barged through Lizbeth's door falling into Fernando's arms.

"Are you okay?? What happened??" He asked still holding onto me.

"I was being chased but I'm okay it was by Gonzalo and them they thought I was someone else" I said letting go of him still breathing heavily

"I told you Lizbe- wait what? They live up south what the hell are they doing down here?" Fernando questioned sounding annoying as well

"Sorry this is never happened before but hey she's alive and not hurt but they probably came down to smoke since they know that shit is allowed in this area" Lizbeth said walking in the living room with a bowl of popcorn.

"Yeah so it's okay well they didn't hurt me and they didn't see me coming here" I said slowly catching my breathe

"Well maybe Lizbeth should call you over during the day" he turned over glaring at her she looked back at me with no guilt on her face typical Lizbeth. I went over it sit next her which caused Fernando to sit next to me

"Fernando heard you fought Aaron?" I asked I didn't necessarily see the fight because as a good kid I was on my way back to class he looked at me 'questioning why I even cared' look which made Lizbeth get to go to the bathroom I guess I scooter over next to I'm waiting for him to answer my question he kept looking at the TV screen hoping I'd look away but he shut his eyes in frustration.

"Fine when Lizbeth walked away from us I caught a glimpse of Aaron walking out too so I assumed he went after her so that's why I left you guys behind as soon as I got close to the end of the hallway leading to her locker I saw Aaron already talking to her she grabbed onto his hand.. it looked she was thanking him so I just walked to up to him and well insults and punches happened" he as he looked down in disappointment out of Lizbeth and Fernando including Sandra I'm the one who always seems to be right I had a strong feeling Fernando has liked Lizbeth for the longest the way he looks at her and every time a guy tried to hit on Lizbeth act he'd like the bigger brother here.

"Do you like her?" I said in a low so Lizbeth wouldn't hear us

"Yeah I do and I hate it" he said shaking his head in disappointment.
