Jessica's P.O.V

There we all sat, in Mama Fuentes' dream, which came true a year ago. She opened her own coffee shop near their home, named Casa de Coffee, which Vic and Mike help around and I work part-time. Summer was to come to an end in about three weeks, oh how the time flies.

As I shined the countertop,Vic came out of the small kitchen behind, and nuzzled into my neck while wrapping his arms around my waist. "I'm tired,Jess. It's hard running a coffee shop, when Mama's downtown and MIKE isn't paying attention around here and is in his OWN world, over there," Vic emphasized loudly, eyeing Mike sitting at a table near the window. His eyes were glued to his cellphone screen and I rolled my eyes.

Mike looked up and furrowed his eyebrows, "Tumblr has more importance than work, pfft. But, excuuuuuse me Victor, I'm on my break."

Vic scoffed, "You went on your break, two hours ago. Get your ass up and help around! Shop closes in an hour!"

"Two hours? Wow the time flies fast, oops. I should probably finish what I've started, right?" Mike began to tap his fingers on the screen, smirking. Soon, the chime of the door opening caused me shake Vic off my shoulder and look.

To my surprise, Julia dragged her luggage through the door and skipped in. Yay, she's back from her vacation! Julia left three days after graduation to go to Florida for the summer, visiting her cousin, Zack.

"Guess who's back?" She sang. Mike looked up and dropped his phone instantly, grinning. I squealed, and ran out of Vic's grasp, running and beating Mike to Julia. I gave her a tight hug and watched as Mike from the corner of my eye, crossed his arms and mumbled, "Hmph."

"Can't...breathe...Jess," Julia murmured, and I automatically let her go. And as soon as I did that, Mike repeated what I did, holding Julia in a tight bear hug.

"Miiiiiike!" Julia whined.

"Jesus, Mike. Let her go and get her a cup of coffee, will ya?" Vic asked.

As Mike let go, Julia replied, "No,no. I just got off my flight and ran over here, a glass of water will be fine."

"Sure thing, Jules." He walked to get a cup.

Julia sat down at the table in the center, and soon the door chimed again, this time, Narine and Iqra charging in. Narine grabbed a chair besides Julia, and sat in it aggressively.

"Uh, hey Narine?" Vic greeted, raising his eyebrow.

Narine growled, "Don't talk to me."

Iqra sighed, sitting at the table. "She's pissed, but hey Julia!" I exhaled, pouring two cups of coffee for them and placed it on the table in front of both of them.

"What happened?" Julia questioned, as Mike came with a cup and held the jug of water and began pouring.

"Ugh, well you see my boss at Drop Dead - Julia?!" Narine screamed. Due to her scream, it startled Mike and caused him to accidentally spill some water on Julia.

"Fuck! Sorry Julia," Mike then blurted out, "This is not how I planned on getting you wet."

Iqra nearly choked on her coffee, widening her eyes and began cracking up. Vic walked over to me, covering my ears and dramatically gasping, "Geez, Mike. There's children here, y'know." I rolled my eyes, elbowing Vic away and grabbed tissues, passing them to Julia.

"Thanks, Jess." She replied, and then turned to Mike, raising her eyebrows. "Oh really, Mike? How were you supposed to?"

Mike smirked, walking back to the counter, placing the jug of water down and stared at Julia. "Yes really, I was planning to use my pickle." He winked, and by then all of us burst into laughter.

Narine, who seemed alot better than she was when she walked in, chuckled. "Gosh, get a room."

"Whatever, Narine you shouldn't be talking." I replied.

"Yeah, says the one who fucked Tony in a Victoria's Secrets dressing room once," Iqra rolled her eyes.

"IT WAS ONE TIME!" Narine protested. "Not my fault, Tony's a horny little boy."

"Oh god, just go on Narine, what happened at work?" Julia asked, hiding a laugh,

Narine cleared her throat, "As I was saying, at Drop Dead, my boss wouldn't let me take off for the road trip, next week. He's such a dick!"

Narine modeled for Drop Dead Clothing, the clothing line owned by the Oliver Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon. He owned many stores worldwide, and Narine worked at the San Diego store, where her boss was a guy named Wilson.

"Aw, we can always reschedule." I replied. "We can go the week after."

"Guys, I won't be able to go the week after..." Julia said, in a low tone.

"What, wh-" Iqra was cut off as soon as Jaime and Tony danced in.

"Yo! I have been summoned!" Jaime yelled as he walked in.

"No you haven't, get the fuck out," Iqra snapped. Jaime pouted and Tony raised his eyebrows. "Damn, Iqra. You guys still arguing?"

"Arguing? Over what?" Julia asked, as Tony and Jaime sat down, while Jaime's mouth opened to explain, and Iqra interrupted. "Let me explain." I nodded.

"This is gonna be good," Vic whispered to me.

Iqra cleared her throat and began, "Alright so two days ago, I got off my shift at the animal shelter and Jaime and I decided to go to the mall for shopping. And wow, guess who we bumped into?! The one and only cheap slut, Ashley Katchadorian-"

"-Wait didn't she move?" Mike interrupted.

"I don't fucking know, don't cut me off Mike," Iqra snapped, then continued. "Of course, they started talking and Ashley began flirting with him! And because of the man whore, Hime is, he didn't budge. Then, Ashley gave him her number!"

"Ah, all ten digits." Jaime sighed. Vic then whacked the back of his head. "Ow! Iqra, I said I was sorry! I even gave you a present! Remember?" He winked.

"Um, no I don't remember." Iqra replied, her voice trailing off.

"That's not what you said in bed last night." Jaime smirked. Julia gasped, "Oh really Iqra?" Narine chuckled, mocking Iqra with her usual catchphrase, "Did you use condoms?!"

"Yeah, did you?!" Everyone screamed in unison.

"What size were they? Extra-Extra small?" I smirked.

"NO!" Jaime protested. "I'll have you know, they were a MEDIUM!"

"Too much information, Hime."

"Where is this conversation going?" Vic asked.

"Alright, alright. Guys, let's get serious now. Remember, when I sent an application to Oxford University...in London?" Julia questioned. Mike's eyes widened, and replied, "Yeah...What about it?"

"...I got accepted. I'm moving back to England in two weeks."

The whole place went silent, and everyone, including my eyes widened. Mike walked a bit forward, staring at Julia,

"What?" He asked, under his breath. "You're leaving me?"
