The Betrayal Within

Chapter Four

Song of the Chapter: Come & Get It by Selena Gomez

Recap (Paulene's POV):

I already know she doesn't want me to have my first job as an agent, but I want her to know that it's my decision to do it.

“You can say it because you and your dad let you do it,” Mom said. “I still don't like it.”

“Mom, I love you. But I have to do my own things sometimes. I'm still here trying to annoy you.”

She chuckled. “I have you, Paulena, and your dad to annoy me.”

This family is crazy, but it's a good crazy. I hope that tomorrow can be the same.

Jasmine's POV

The next morning…

“Will you, Jasmine Michel, will take him as your husband?”

“I do.” Wow, I'm actually getting married. I've been waiting for this day. Me in a white flowy dress at a beautiful church.

“You are now Mr. and Mrs. Lopez. You may now kiss the bride.”

I woke up with my alarm ringing. The hell? A wedding? Getting married to him?

I don't know if I can call it a dream or a nightmare.

I tried to snap out of my thoughts and go on Facebook like a regular teenager on my phone. There was a few notifications from the previous night and a couple of messages but one of the messages I had to look.

From Cisco Lopez (Monday, 4:30am): Hey. I have to tell you something.

Francisco have to tell me something? He's still online, I thought. What does he want? I know that he doesn't like me the same way that I do.

Francisco's POV

I couldn't sleep.

I was up for almost twenty-four hours and I still couldn't sleep. I wasn't thinking about anything. Except for the beautiful Megan Fox. Damn, she's hot.

You're lying to yourself again, the thought said in my mind.

When I'd sent that message to Jasmine, I was thinking why have I'd done that. Do I want to fuck myself over?

*ding*

Jasmine M (Monday, 4:32am): Mexican, what's up? What do you have to say?

I immediately logged out of Facebook and started to breathe heavily.
I know that she doesn't feel the same way as I do.

Two hours later...

Paulene's POV

Monday. The day that people can get bitchy for no reason and four more days until Friday.
Being at Nixon was depressing because most of the students want to start drama for no reason. I'm not a drama person because I just don't.

“Bye Mom!” I exclaimed. “I'm going to school!”

“Alright, honey!”

I put my headphones on my ear and walked out of my apartment.
I usually think about deep thoughts when I walk to go to school and Jasmine will probably call me to see where she's at.

Moving from New York to Philly was a really big step from me because I had to leave so much behind. I don't adjust to a lot of things.

If I hadn't move, what would happen to everyone?
