——————————————————————

I had been sitting in my room staring at my wall for days now. i had tissues surrounding me, i had music playing lowly and tears stains on my cheeks. i had 37 missed called from Ruben and 83 texts. Cesar, Olivia, Monse & Jamal blew up my phone as well.

i've had enough crying. i wasn't going to cry over him anymore. no i didn't lose him, he lost me. and it must suck for him because i'm an amazing person.... but it still hurts like hell....

I thought to myself as the tears in my eyes began to form once again. as i was beginning the process that i thought i was once done with i heard a light knock at my door.

"Go away!" i called out.

The door slowly opened and my dad poked his head in.

"Dad i said to go away... i'm not in the mood..." i said wiping the tears off my face.

he looked at me with a concerned look and fully walked in. he was holding a pink bag that read "Happy Birthday" in one hand & a coffee in the other.

"I know you're not feeling so good so i went and bought you a coffee, when i was getting out of the car to come back inside and Monse was waiting on the front steps and told me to give this to you." he said gently and low. he handed me the coffee and placed the birthday bag on the bed. He began to walk out but i stopped him at the door.

"Dad." i called after him.

He turned and faced me to hear what i needed to say.

Thank you I mouthed with a half smile.

He smiled back then blew a kiss and left my room shutting the door behind him. Once the door was shut i opened the bag and see candy, chips, caprisuns, cookies, brownies, a dvd of my favorite movie and a note taped on top. I grabbed the note and began to read it.

Hey mamas, hope you're feeling better. Just know that we love you and we're here for you. Ruby and Olivia are really sorry... please just talk to them. but besides that you will always have us no matter what. we love you so much and make sure you let us know when you're ready for visitors.
xoxo, Monse, Cesar, Jamal, Olivia, Ruby

I felt a lump in my throat but i wasn't going to let myself cry anymore. i smiled at the note while placing the bag onto the floor. i sighed then decided that i should thank them in person. especially since they hadn't seen me in 3 days and they don't know if i'm actually still alive. i stood up from my bed and shuffled towards my restroom.

i looked in the mirror to see my nappy hair in a really messy bun, my under eyes were puffy, my nose was red, i had an old oversized sweater and grey boy sweats. i knew i would have to change and i groaned at the thought of it.

***

After i finished making myself look presentable i grabbed my phone, made my way out my door and to the front door. On my way i find my father sitting on the couch watching the Dodgers game.

"Dad im heading out okay?" i said pulling the heavy door open.

He quickly turned to the sound of my voice shocked at the words i had just said.

"Okay. well.... no home later than 11." He told me with a puzzled look plastered across his face.

I gave him a smile and a nod then stepped out of the house shutting the door behind me. the warm california air slapped my face as i walked down my front steps. I had almost forgot what sunlight felt like. I knew the one place everyone would be at, Ruby's house. As i walked down the block towards my past lovers house my heart beat sped up with every step i took. my feet dragged like they were being weighed down by cinder blocks. the lump in my throat began to form once again.

finally i got to the small peach colored house. i saw Jamal and Monses bikes laid on the front yard. I inhaled deeply then slowly opened the wired gate and walked towards the door. i felt like i was having a panic attack. i couldn't believe i was going to do this. I held my breath, closed my eyes and knocked on the metal screen gate.

after one knock thee door knob turned and within seconds short, babyfaced, tanned skin boy was standing right in front of me with shock spread over his face.

"Y/N..." he whispered still in shock.

"Ruby who is it?" Cesar ask coming to the door, curious to see who had knocked.

Cesar's eyes lit up when he saw my face.

"Y/N!" He shouted as he wrapped me up tightly in his arms and lifted me off the ground. i couldn't help but laugh, i've missed this cholo so much.

Monse and Jamal came running outside to see what all the commotion was.

"Y/N... you're okay!" Monse exclaimed and hugged me tightly once Cesar put me down.

Jamal didn't want to be left out so he joined our hug.

"Oh Jamal." i giggled.

Once i was released from their embrace i turned to Ruby to see that there were tears forming in his eyes.

i hated seeing him like this. I quickly turned my gaze to the floor so that i wouldn't start crying again.

"Ruby .. can i talk to you..?" my voice cracked. i didn't look up to see if he agreed but when our friends were walking into the house i kinda placed two and two together.

"Y/N look... just let me explain, okay? it was the day of the party at Monse's." my head shot up to see his facial expressions as he told his side of the story. "we had gotten into that huge fight about the rumors of me liking Olivia. You had went home and left me angry. i was mad because i couldn't believe that you would think something like that was true. i was mad because you didn't know what to believe. i was mad because you couldn't just trust my word. i sat on Monse's bed so infuriated with you. Olivia walked in and sat down beside me. she asked if i was okay. i told her i was. we sat there in silence. i don't know what was going through my mind when i did it, i just knew it'd make you as mad as i was." his voice began to tremble. "so i kissed her. after i immediately felt bad. i left the house and ran home. it was one kiss. one stupid kiss, that's why i never said anything. but i should've... because i never wanted to hurt you this much. i love you Y/N... and i want to be with you..." he whispered loudly with tears in his eyes stepping closer to me and light gripping my hand.

i looked down at our hands then at him. i wasn't crying but i knew he could see the pain in my eyes.

"please forgive me..?"  he asked the look of fear growing on his face.

"I forgive you." i said with a half smile. he heard my words and a smile appeared on his face going from ear to ear. "and i believe you. but our relationship isn't going to go back to the way it was before. we will build that trust once again but for now ... we're kinda starting all over."

"That's fine with me as long as you're mine and i am yours!" he exclaimed cupping my face and pulling me into a kiss. as we pulled away i sighed in delight at that familiar feeling that i had missed.

i could hear screaming and cheering from Ruby's widow. I turned to see Jamal screaming in delight with face pushed up against the glass and Monse and Cesar jumping up and down behind him.

i turned bright red at how embarrassing our friends were. I look at Ruby and he's dying of laughter. We walked inside his house and were immediately attacked by them.

"Finally the power couple has returned!" Jamal shouted shaking me violently.  I all i could do was smile.

"Don't mess it up again. she doesn't give second chances to just anyone." Monse threatened Ruby.

"So are you gonna talk to Olivia?" Cesar asked.

"I will but right now i'm trying to be with the most important people in my life. let's go back to my place and put that bag y'all got me to use?" i asked opening the front door and gesturing them out.

They all agreed and walked out the door.Ruby grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him making me close the door behind me.
