Josie's POV

I was relieved when my phone finally turned up at the spa. They had accidentally given it to someone else, but that person eventually returned it. They must be a really good person.

Yessica was driving me back to my house when I got a message from Jose.

Jose 💀🙄: Lleva a tu pequeño culo a casa. AHORA (Get your little ass home. NOW)

Me: ¿Qué? (What?)

Jose 💀🙄: Sé sobre el pequeño novio blanco. Entonces, como dije, OBTENGA SU PEQUEÑO ASNO EN CASA AHORA (I know about the little white boyfriend. Then, as I said, GET YOUR LITTLE ASS AT HOME NOW)

Me: ¿Cómo lo sabes? ¿Por qué te importa? ¡No empieces a actuar como un "hermano mayor" ahora! (How do you know? Why do you care? Don't start acting like a big brother now!)

Jose 💀🙄: ¡Solo espera hasta que le cuente a Mami! Estarás deseando nunca haber hablado con ese pequeño niño blanco (Just wait until I tell Mami! You'll be wishing you never talked to that little white boy)

I closed my phone, trembling like crazy. How did Jose find out? I then realized I had seven texts from Caleb.

Devil Caleb 😂😈❤️: Girlfriendddddddd I miss you

Devil Caleb 😂😈❤️: Why does Alexa have your phone

Devil Caleb 😂😈❤️: That's really fucking low of you Alexa. YOU AND I DATED FOR 2 WEEKS! LEAVE JOSIE ALONE

Devil Caleb 😂😈❤️: Josie Alexa is ruining your life

Devil Caleb 😂😈❤️: She told Jose about us!

Devil Caleb 😂😈❤️: Please text me

Devil Caleb 😂😈❤️: Did Jose do something to you ????

I quickly clicked on his contact and held the phone to my ear. He answered on the first ring.

"Josie are you okay?"

"Umm not really what are you talking about?"

"Alexa took your phone. She told Jose about us, told your mom that you're pregnant, and sent Mr. Grey a picture of her boobs. All from your phone."

"What the fuck?! Oh my God I am dead. I am actually dead."

"I'm so sorry this is all my fault she's my ex."

"No it's my fault for not having a fucking lock on my phone."

"This isn't your fault! Alexa is a crazy bitch. Shit, I gotta go. Your mom called my mom and told her about us. Gotta go!"

Click

I sat there hyperventilating. I was in the back seat, so neither Brittany or Yessica noticed my panic attack. We pulled up to my house, Jose outside waiting for me. He had a nasty grimace on his face. I hesitated, but eventually got out of the car.

"Mami te está esperando. ¡Diviértete golpeándote con un zapato!" Jose announced as I walked past him. (Mami is waiting for you! Have fun getting hit with a shoe!) I gulped as I walked inside. I haven't gotten the shoe since I was seven years old and got suspended for fighting at school. That was the day my brother was proud of me. The one time he ever was excited I was his sister.

"Hey Mija, we need to talk," my mom said when I walked into the kitchen. She only spoke English when she was mad or drunk. I was really hoping she was drunk. "Why didn't you tell me you dating Caleb?" 

"We aren't really dating," I trailed off while looking at my shoe. Technically we weren't; he hadn't asked me out.

"Mija, I'm not mad, just surprised," she said while coming over to me. We were about the same height, so I was able to look her in the eyes easily. "Mija, are you pregnant?"

"What? No! Some girl at the spa took my phone and texted everyone. She even had the nerve to text Mr. Grey a picture of her cleavage!" I blubbered out. Alexa had crossed the line.

"Mija, what is cleavage?" I remembered that English was her second language.

"tetas," I said in Spanish. She gasped as soon as I let her known. She started rambling about how that girl needs Jesus and she shouldn't be sending nude photos. I laughed at the sight of my mom so flabbergasted.

"Mami, you aren't mad?" I asked.

"No Mija, not at all. I'm not the happiest that he is not Latina, but he will do," she said while brushing my hair away from my face. "Papi might be a little angry, but he will get over it."

"Okay, I'm gonna go to my room and take a nap," I said while grasping my middle aged mother's hands. My dad was rarely home, but he was coming back tomorrow morning. I was always happy when he came home because Jose never layed a finger on me when he was in town. It was like my dad had a spell on him.

I heard my mom and Jose arguing about my punishment, then I heard the slapping of a flip flop on Jose's skull. It doesn't matter how old that boy gets, Mami is always superior. I let out a slight grin as I heard the sounds of my brother being silenced.

Caleb's POV

I sat in my room, pacing back and forth. I was so scared about what Jose was going to do to my poor Josie. My mom had plucked me upside the head for keeping secrets, but then admitted she always knew their was something between me and her.

My Pineapple 🍍❤️👸: My mom didn't freak. She hit Jose with a shoe. Could this day get any better?

Me: Thank god you're ok. I was getting so worried.

My Pineapple 🍍❤️👸: Me too. Can I sneak over once my mom go to sleep?

Me: Yea. Just be careful, I think Jose is going to be extra alert tonight.

My Pineapple 🍍❤️👸: Nah he stormed out. One of his ghetto ass friends just picked him up. I think it was Davione? Davone? David? Fuck idk

Me: Lmao you're so weird

My Pineapple 🍍❤️👸: Yes I am! But admit it, you love me

Me: Well duh ❤️

My Pineapple 🍍❤️👸: Smh you're too relationshippy. I gtg gotta do chores

Me: You love me too! Don't deny

My Pineapple 🍍❤️👸: Keep tellin yoself that

Me: I shall!

"Read 5:45 PM"

I rushed down the stairs and found my whole family watching Ice Age. It was the twin's favorite movie; we had seen it at least 14 times. I was too happy to care, so instead I plopped down on the couch next to Elliani. She layed her head on my shoulder while Merila climbed into my lap. I kissed them both on the head and focused my eyes on the movie. 

"Is Josie your girlfriend?" Elliani whispered into my ear. "Cuz I've always wanted another sister."

"I don't know yet, I'll tell you tomorrow," I whispered back. Elliani and Merila are very close to Josie and always tell me to marry her. 

"Okay. Are you going to get married?" She questioned. I chuckled and readjusted myself. "Is that a yes?"

"I don't know! I'll tell you in a year," I replied. She nodded back and went back to watching the movie. I smiled as I looked around me. I love my family.
