Drive-By

    He pulled away and we both smiled. The butterflies in my stomach were going crazy now. 
    He stood up and held out his hand. I grabbed it and he pulled me up. We went by where our clothes were waiting for us, he had a blanket that we laid out to sit on while we watched the waves crash against the shore. It was so relaxing, I could feel my eyelids getting heavy.  
    "So was it worth it?" He asked me.
    "What?" I looked at him.
    "Coming out with me." He said.
    "Yeah, it was." I put my head on his shoulder. He put his arm around me and I started to doze off.

    As I slept, I had a dream about my mom. I was 8 years old again, and we were building a sand castle together while Ana and my dad played in the water. "Are you excited to go back to school tomorrow?" She asked me.
    "Kinda." I said as I played in the sand.
    "What's wrong mijita? You love school."
    "I'm just gonna miss you."
    She hugged me and said, "Aww Yoli I'm going to miss you too. But I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. I'll be there to take you to school everyday, and I'll be waiting for you to get home every afternoon."
    "Promise?"
    "I promise."
    My mom looked at me with a huge smile on her face and with tears in her eyes she said, "I love you so much mija. You and your sister."
    I told her "I love you too Mommy. We need more water for the sand so I'll be right back." I got some water in my bucket and I turned around to see that she had collapsed. I ran to her and tried to wake her up but she wouldn't open her eyes. I started screaming for my dad to help her. He tried to run to us but the current took him away. Ana tried grabbing him but it was no use. In the blink of an eye, he was gone. We were left alone on the beach, crying.

    When I opened my eyes we were laying down now, and my head was on his chest. It was just a dream. I felt myself begin to calm down. The sun was starting to rise. I sat up to watch, It was so beautiful.

Shit.

    "Hey, wake up. I gotta go."

    We got to my house at around 7am. Before I got out, he grabbed me and started kissing me. I almost didn't get out of the car.

    "Have a good day hermosa."

    "Thanks, you too hermoso." I winked, "Laters vato."

    "Alratos."

    I went inside and fully intended on going to my room to go to sleep. But The Girls were at the kitchen table.

    "Just getting in?" Ana said with her eyebrows raised.

    Mari had a smirk on her face. "Ay, Yoli that's not like you."

    "Alright, Cabronas. Let's hear em, I know you're not gonna let me go to bed until you ask all your questions." I sat down next to them.

    "So did you guys have sex, or what?" Mari asked.

    Ana smacker her arm, "Don't be rude mensa." Then she turned to me, "So did you?"

    "No, we didn't. We just kissed. A few times."

    "So you like him, huh?" Mari asked.

    Ana looked at her and said, "Well, yeah. Since when has Yoli spent all night with a guy?"

    Mari told her, "Why don't you let her answer."

    They both looked at me. So I said, "Yeah I do. A lot. I know I don't have a lot of experience with guys, but he's, man I don't know. He's something else."

    We spent the rest of the morning talking about everything that happened. I didn't get to get back to sleep before work. I was so tired and just wanted to go home but I pushed through and did what I had to.

    When I got outta work I headed home and changed into all black. I picked up Mari from her vatos place, then we headed to Spookys. 

    When I got there everyone was inside kickin back talking. I told everyone what's up. Then Spooky stood up. "Alright listen up. Theres been some talk that the Norputos have been planning on making a move on us. We gotta let these levas know what's up. That we're no one to fuck with."

    "Simon ese! Fuck those punetas!" I heard Capone yell.

    I asked, "So what do you wanna do then Spooky?" 

    "Drive-by."

    We grabbed what we needed, I put my bandana on my face and headed to the Ranfla. On the way there I was texting Nico.

Nico: I can't get you outta my head

Yoli: I can't get you outta mine either. Neta, last night was perfect

Nico: You down to kick it again tonight? 

Yoli: I have some stuff to do, then we can ok?

Nico: Okay

    At first we drove by slow to scope it out. There was a shit load of them outside.
    Alright, second time around we were ready. We had our Cuetes loaded and ready to shoot. But when we got closer, a new vato came out.

Nico.

    He looked in our direction and we locked eyes. I dropped my cuete and it went off. None of the homies got hurt, but I did shoot a hole through the door.

    The Nortenos ducked and took cover

Fuck, I just called us out.

Spooky yelled, "Now!"

    The homies started shooting like crazy. They started shooting back but they missed.

    As we drove away spooky looked at me.

    "What the fuck was that esa?"

    "I… I'm sorry, I lost my grip."

    "A slip up like that could have gotten us all killed esa."

   "I know, I fucked up and I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
