"I'm really happy you called Daniel. We had so much to catch up one," I say through the phone after a long pause.

"I know a lot," he said sadly.

This afternoon Diablo woke me up telling me about about his call and I answered to quick. The army really has him busy. We haven't been able to talk for a long while now until today. He obviously had no idea about Elena being so I had to break the tragic news to him and my healing wound in my heart teared open a little again. I wish there was I way I could of told him in person. I miss him so much.

"I wish you had told me sooner about Elena. I would of been by your side," he says softly.

"I know you would of and I'm sorry but like I told you I got locked up minutes after she passed," I paused to swallow the lump in my throat.

"Yeah I know," he sighs, "well is there anything I can do for you now?"

"I don't know if you could do it now now but I really want to see you soon."

He chuckles lightly, "I wish I could fly to Arizona and hug your ass right now now but I can't. I promise we'll see each other soon though."

I laugh, "bet."

Diablo walks into the room shirtless with only his shorts on since he just came out of the shower and sits next to me on the bed and says, "can you put it on speaker real quick?"

I frown in confusion but I do.

"Yo Daniel," he says to the phone.

"Whatchu want man?" Daniel snaps with tension.

"Look man I just wanna say thank you for what you did for Veronica and Elena. She told me everything you did for them and I appreciate it. You got my respects," Diablo replies sincerely.

"I don't want your respects. I just hope you learn-," I cut him off but by turning off the speaker.

I stand up and walked to the living room to talk but by the time I got there he hung up. Then my phone beeped with a text message.

Daniel: I'll talk to you whenever I get a chance. Love you beautiful take care.

Me: Love you too take care.

After I send the message I went back to Diablo's room to find him looking into his closet.

"If he was in front of me I swear I would of knocked him the fuck out," he mumbles without looking at me.

I sigh and toss myself on the bed, "he's hurt Diablo. He barely found out about Elena. He was there for her when you weren't-."

He slams the closet door shut so hard it startled me. He turns around to face me clearly angry.

"Stop shading me with that bullshit Veronica! You're acting like I've never done shit for you when I've done a lot! If you praise him so much then why the fuck are you even with me? Go with him," he yells.

I stand up and reached for his hand but he takes a step back.

"Cancel the appoint for the house today I ain't going," he says before walking out.

"Diablo," I call out after him but I hear the front door open and close, he fucking left.

Stupid me, I tell myself. I know what I said was fucked up and I shouldn't of brought it up. My intentions weren't to get him mad but to try and explain Daniel's attitude.

Today we were supposed to go look at a house we found online that we both really like. It was supposed to be special since it'll be the first time we get a place together as a couple but my dumbass screw up.
