Soon after Diablo left I went back to the others and started working or at least I tried too. As much as I tried focusing on the job I couldn't. Diablo saying he wants me back just kept repeating in my head. It's not all that simple, you know? To get back with him now just because he wants too? Like I have said before, I still and always will love him but all this is happening too fast. I honestly don't know what to do. I feel so overwhelmed over all of this.

"-or is Luis picking is up tomorrow? Veronica?"

A voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I quickly look up and see Toby looking at me with a concern look on his face.

I groan in frustration realizing that he's been talking to me the entire time but my dumbass be in Diablo's land.

"I'm sorry Toby, what were you saying?" I ask dumbly and embarrassed.

"Are you sure nothing happened with Diablo? I promise I won't tell them if you don't want them to know," he jerks his head towards Melissa and Gustavo who were sitting in the couch having a conversation of their own.

When I came out of the room both of them were being annoying trying to know what Diablo's visit was all about but I refused to tell them anything, at least for now.

I half-smile, "it's really nothing-."

He raises an eyebrow, "you're such a bad liar but I get it, you don't trust me with this stuff."

"I promise you, I'm just overreacting and I do trust you so shut up with that."

"Mhm."

I sigh at his stubborn ass. "Okay fine I'll tell you. Diablo came because-"

"No, Ronnie stop," he cuts me off. "I was just messing with you. You don't have to tell me if you don't want too. It's personal, I understand."

I think about it for a moment.

"I want to talk about it but not here. Let's go out in the back?" I suggest.

He grins then nods.

We went out to the backyard and talked. I literally poured out my heart and mind to him and I was thankful that he listened. Talking to him really took a lot off my chest. His advice helped me to come up with my decision.

As we talked Gustavo and Melissa came out and invited us out for some food and we agreed.

Dinner was fun. Again I had to thank Toby for that. He managed to make it feel like old times when my life wasn't so fucked up. It made me appreciate even more that he's back. Also to our surprise we bumped into Odin, Angel, Correy and Jennifer at the restaurant we went too. It good to see them again. It had been awhile that I last seen them. Like I said, it was a good night.

It's about 11:30 pm and we are barely on our way to the trap house so I can get my mom's car she's been letting me use then I'll be heading straight home to meet up with Diablo. He's been texting me for the last half an hour just asking where I'm at and who I'm with which is pretty annoying.

My stomach when I realized we were getting close to passing my parents neighborhood where Diablo is currently waiting for me. Now I regret saying yes to coming to Scottsdale for dinner. I should of convinced them on staying in Phoenix. There is still half an hour drive left to the trap.

I sigh and lean against Toby's shoulder as we sat in the back of the car.

"You tired?" he asks.

I nod, "kinda are you?"

"Just a little."

I was about to say something when I feel a sharp pain in my chest making me sit straight quickly. The pain lasted for about ten long seconds and I kept moaning softly not knowing what the hell that was.
