Oscar

The lights were bright when I opened my eyes.
My stomach was sore as hell.
I looked around and realized I was in a hospital room. I saw José sleeping in a chair on my right.

"Aye fool!" I said, he quickly woke up.
He rubbed his eyes and glared at me.
"You're fucking crazy!" He said.

I started laughing, but I stopped because it caused me pain. "That fool Hector stabbed you." He said.
"I remember." I said as I sat up.

I do remember.
I remember the look on his face, I remember how embarrassed he was.
There's nothing more dangerous than an embarrassed man.

"I knew you and Leilani were fucking." He said as he laughed. "I can't believe you did that."

"I don't know, I just got mad." I shrugged. "Like, seeing her with him made me mad and to think she'd sleep with him, then Tyla was being so fucking annoying I got tired of trying to make it work, I want to be happy you know?" I sighed.

"Yeah I get you fool, Leilani's here you know?" He said. I was shocked, I didn't even think about asking.

"Where'd she go?" I asked.
"Cafeteria." He said.
I knew she was pissed.
I acted a complete ass last night.
But that's who I am.

The door opened, Tito walked in with Victor.
"Aye my loco ass Vato is up!" Tito said as he walked up to me and dapped me.

"You really fucking went off on Tyla." Victor laughed as he sat down.

I nodded my head, "What are we gonna do about that fool Hector? The doctor said the knife went into your appendix so they just removed it, you good and everything." Tito said.

I shook my head, "I don't know, I did fuck his girl behind his back and make him look stupid at a party." I shrugged.

Victor smacked his lip, "we been knew Lolita was your girl this whole time, Hector was just getting in the way." He said.

"You told him not to be with her." José shrugged.
"You claimed her tho, you don't claim anybody wassup with that?" Tito asked.

They were all staring at me.
I smiled as I thought about Leilani.
"I love her man." I sighed.

They all started laughing. "We fucking know, as much times as you dragged us to that damn taco shop." Tito said laughing.

My room door opened again.
Leilani walked in.
Her curly hair was tied up into a bun.
Her eyes were red and puffy, and her little cheeks were swollen slightly.

She held a fruit cup in her hands as she walked in.
She was so damn cute.

Her eyes widened when she saw me.
"We will give you a moment." José said as him and the guys stood up.

Leilani gave them a small smile as they walked out.
She walked up to me when the door closed.
"Hey." I said as I reached and grabbed her hand.
She glared at me.

"What the hell Oscar?" She said.
"Hi, I'm glad I'm alive too." I said sarcastically.

"You embarrassed me!" Her voice was raised but she didn't yell, her voice is too soft for that.
I liked that about her, Tyla always screamed.
She always hit me, always complained.
