Once A Bad Boy (He's A Bad News Sequel)

2 - Break Up Season

Erick's POV

We're sending the guys off for their tour with a bigger band. I've told them this hundred times but I'm so proud of them. "Stop saying that, you're one of us all this time. We're here because of you too." Richard hugs me.

Again, Jaime is being the center of attention from their girlfriends. They keep tickling him and make funny faces to him. I always act like I'm annoyed by it but actually I'm glad my son is getting so much love when he grows up.

That's when I noticed that Richard's girlfriend is not here. "Rich, where's Jennifer?" I asked. From the look on his face, I kinda feel mad at myself for asking. Something bad must've happened. "She won't come. Let's just assume that we're both single now." he said, looking down to the ground.

"What did I just heard?" Joel screams, running towards us. "You broke up with Jennifer? After all these years?" he asks, not making it any better for Richard. Richard just nod and walks away, pretending to be busy sorting their stuff. "Can you believe it? They look so inseparable. Poor Richard. Must be hard with that tattoo of her name on his back." Joel said, making me choke on air at his last sentence.

We were talking for a while before they were called to go. "Take care, bro." I said, grabbing Joel for a hug. "And you, you'll find any girl soon. Just catch that bra on stage. Sometimes they leave their phone number." I joked at Richard, who then smack my face while laughing. I know the guys know how to make him feel better soon.

They hugged Bella and kissed Jaime before going to their girlfriends. The girls can't seem to let the boys go, as if they were leaving forever. "Remember, only Richard can lose himself up, the rest of you are not single so take care of yourself. And by self I mean dicks." I screamed out.

Back to our house, Jaime has been acting up. Maybe because he's tired. I help Bella coaxing him to sleep and a few hours later it works.

"I heard Richard and Jennifer broke up." Bella said, still patting on Jaime in her arms so that he'd stay asleep. "They did. Unbelievable, isn't it? They were together before we did. Maybe it's just not meant to be." I replied.

When Jaime is fast asleep Bella put him aside, and snuggles into my arm. "What about us? Are we meant to be?" she asks, her hand plays with my necklace.

I kissed her on the top of her head. "Of course we are. Look at that mini Erick. He's  the proof of it." Not to mention about Juan and everything that has came between us before, I'm pretty sure Erick Brian Colon and Isabella Luisa Londono are meant to be. A match made from heaven.

A month passed and the boys gave us a call once in a while. Richard seems to be enjoying his single life to the fullest. They told me he had been with different girls in every city. Whatever it is, if my bro is happy then I'll be happy too.

I just got back from the cafe I'm working at. Throwing myself on the couch in our living room, the ringtone of my phone blew up. "Answer it, might be the guys calling us again." Bella yells, coming down the stairs.

I took the phone out of my pocket and she's right. It's Joel facetiming us. I took the call and held my phone up while Bella ran to take a seat beside me. The screen finally showed the faces the four of them.

"My favorite couple in the world! Where's that little boy? I wanna show him this new toy we bought for him." Joel says, shaking the toy in his hand.

"He's sleeping. Thank you for remembering him." Bella smiles at them. They told us about the show they had last night, and how they missed the food that Bella cooked for them.

"You keep calling us. Have you called your girlfriends?" I asked. Joel scratched his forehead, while the others were exchanging looks. "What's going on, guys? What with that look when I asked you about the girls?"

"Well, you know I broke up before we got here, right?" Richard asked me. Both me and Bella nod our head, waiting for further details. "Chris and Jess broke up too. Yesterday. Alexis and I, we just stopped talking since last week." Joel confessed.

It's really shocking. I never thought going big with the band would affect their relationship. "Zabdiel seems to be joining the broke up club too." Joel adds, earning a deadly glare from Zabdiel who was looking at the screen of his phone. "I'm working it out with her." he told us.

Bella snatched the phone from me. "Guys, listen. I know this is your dream, but the girls have been with you from below. Don't let your work and stupid distance get between you. Just, work it out, okay? Zabdiel, I'm counting on you!" she points her finger on the screen before she gave then phone back to me.

"You heard the lady." I laughed. We said goodbye to each other and end the call. "It's getting late. And I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep." I took her hand and stood up.

When I stepped out from the bathroom Bella is not on our bed. Later I found her in Jaime's room, standing alone by his crib, rubbing his tiny feet with her hand.

Slowly, I tip toed behind her and grabbed her by her waist. "He's adorable, isn't he? I made that." I joked, kissing her neck when I said that.

"It's scary how two people can fell out of love with each other." she mumbles, still staring at our son. Lately she has been stressing out while taking care of Jaime, her mind is going all over the place and the news we just got is not making it any better. She's over thinking it right now.

I turned her around, and she keeps her eyes on the ground. "If the guys breaking up with their girlfriends got you worried about us, don't. You don't have to. Unlike them we had gone through many things together, and if I have to do it again I will. Just to keep you and Jaime with me." I pulled her into my arms. "I love you and I'm sure of it. Never doubt my love to you."

She hugs me even tighter, and I can feel the heat on my chest. She's crying. "You won't leave us, right? Tell me nothing will make you leave us." she sobs on my chest.

"Nothing, Bella. Nothing can make me leave you. Even if it's us against the world I'll make sure we win." I stroked her head.
