me: hey are you free to facetime

penguin: ye wasup 

i call him and on the 3rd ring he picks up. He is laying in bed all cuddled up 

"Did you try to be cute?" I ask trying not to laugh

"Nu, I wanted to be comfortable. Now, wasup" 

I sighed playing with the ends of my hair "So.."

"So?" 

"I have bad news.."

"Oh no what bad news?"

"My.."

He looks at me with a come-on-finish-the-sentence look.

"My parents are getting divorced and I don't know what to do. I should be back in Cali with them trying to calm whatever is going on with them. But no here I am sitting on my bed waiting for the problem to be solved it self I...I just don't know what to do. A part of me wants to go back home and help them, but the other wants to stay here and let it happen" I sighed and then continued "I don't know what to do Luke"

"Honestly...You should go there. Help them out. Convince them to not get divorced. I am saying what I would if my parents were getting a divorce. Wait where do you live?" 

"Um Argentina why you ask?" 

"That is our next stop. Like literally tomorrow were in Argentina" 

"Do you...like...um...do you want to meet? like in person?" 

"Sure. When and where?"

"My place I'll text you the address" 

"Okay" I smiled. I heard the front door open 

"Alexis is here I'll talk to ya later bye I love you" oh shit

There was a pause until he spoke "I love you too"  I smiled wider and hung up. Sigh. How did I end up here?
