"Shots! Shots! Shots!" The group of girls shouted over the music in the crowded club. All the girls took their shots and cheered. Penelope cleared her throat, looking around for a waitress to bring them more shots. They had arrived at the club Diego was suppose to perform at about 20 minutes ago. He wasn't suppose to go on stage until 10:30. Which meant they had a half hour to kill. Penelope still hadn't seen Diego and she honestly didn't mind, she was sure he was having fun and getting ready to hit the stage.

"Hey Penelope!" Noah shouted over the loud music playing, Penelope looked up and saw the tall guy make his way over to her. She gave him a wave and let him sit next to her. "Everyone this is Noah!" Everyone said hi to him and then continued with their own conversations. Penelope was still trying to track down a waitress for more shots. Noah took it upon himself and tracked one down, ordering 10 shots and giving the waitress a $50 dollar bill.

Penelope gave him a small smile and turned her attention to Justine. While Noah started up a conversation with Nathan, Monica's brother. They all we're having a good time. Until a girl with purple hair, made her way over to them.

"Oh, you're here." She said with a drink in her hand. Three girls stood behind her, Penelope guessed maybe they were her little minions. Everyone looked at the girl who wore too much make up and had a short skimpy dress on. Monica rolled her eyes, knowing exactly who the girl in front of them was.

"If you're here to start some shit. You better leave before I beat your ass." Justine shouted and started to stand up. Penelope held her back, she wasn't about to have her friend fight with a nobody.

"Ay, Justine. Cálmate. Aquí no." Penelope whispered into her friends ear. Penelope stood up and walked over to the girl, trying to give her a friendly smile. She sent a small wave to the three girls who stood close behind Red.

"Listen, I came out to support a friend. I personally don't care what you and Diego do. He isn't mine." Penelope said with so much sweetness in her voice, even she could tell how fake she was being, but the girl before her had no idea. The girl relaxed a bit and started to smile a bit but Penelope made her way closer to the girl "But we do have feelings for each other, so if I were you, I'd enjoy him while you can." Penelope gave the girl a smile and she scrunched up her nose a bit. "Now if you'll excuse me, my friends and I are trying to have some fun, buh-bye." With a little wave, she sent the girl away.

At that minute, the waitress showed up with the shots, everyone stood up and cheered.

Diego stood on the side of the stage, everyone was at the front and he could see Penelope, Monica and even the Noah guy stood at the front. Diego noticed how Noah stood behind Penelope, he felt jealous and he knew he had no right to feel that way. The Dj started to announce him on stage and he made his way over to the middle. Letting the music start to play, the whole time he made eye contact with Penelope. Who smiled and cheered him on, he noticed that she didn't sing the lyrics to any of his songs like everyone around them did.

It was like the only person who mattered in that moment was her, the four days he had spent with her were clear to him on how he felt about her. He wanted her. He wanted to know everything about her. What she loved, what she hated. It was corny as fuck but that's how Penelope made him feel.

The last four days they had talked, he told her about his problems with drugs, with alcohol and his anxiety. How at some point he wanted to start a even bigger movement about anti-xanx. She listened to everything that came out of his mouth. She supported his idea and even said her Father could help out.

He continued his show with only her on his mind. The fact that she had actually came out and supported him made his heart swell.

"I wanna thank everyone who came out today and I want to thank someone even more important and that's this girl right here." He pointed at Penelope who stood in awe "Thank you for coming out and supporting me ma." Diego said as he spoke into the mic.

Penelope smiled and blew him a kiss, at that moment. Diego knew he had to do everything he could to make that girl his.
