The night quickly became morning.

Monse fell asleep late last night, after Jamal and ruby headed back home.
She called Cesar 20 times, texted him 36.
"He killed that boy" she cried to herself, laying alone in her bed. Sleeping was a lot harder when she wasn't next to cesar. All she wanted to do was give him an out, and save him. This life isn't, and never will be for him.

When the sun came up, Monse immediately picked up her phone. No response, no text back. He hadn't even viewed it.
She laid in her covers as she dialed his number again, no response.

She held back tears. That's when her mind started to wonder....what if- he.....
"No!!" She told herself, knocking her thoughts. "He's not, hes alive." She comforted.

Monse walked Into her living room, looking out the window seeing Jamal and ruby walk to school, without Cesar. She popped her head out
"Have you guys heard from Cesar?" She asked desperately

Ruby looked at Jamal and back at her
"No..." he spoke, Jamal shook his head

Monse started panicking. She slammed the window and walked out the door.
She was still in her pajamas but that didn't stop her from marching over to the Santos house.
No one was outside, she walked to the side of the house where Cesar's window was. The curtains were shut so she couldn't tell if he was in there.

She took a deep breathe and knocked softly,
For a few seconds, it was silent.

Until Cesar opened the window slightly, revealing Monses face.
She let out air that she'd been holding in her chest since he hung up on her last night
"Your ok!" She spoke breathlessly, taking his hand and climbing in.
He only nodded.
Monse wrapped her arms around him, tears fell from her eyes onto his shirt, the same one he'd been wearing yesterday,
She pulled back, as he cupped the side of her face with his hand.
She looked into his dark brown eyes, she saw innocence
"You....you didn't kill him!" She whispered
Cesar looked down at his feet
"....he's alive. But he's gone. He's far away from here and you don't have to worry anymore." He pulled her closer
"Cesar I never was worried about him, you scared the shit out of me last night...I thought you were dead!" Tears continued falling
Cesar's eyes began to water, he felt so guilty for making her feel that way
"I'm so sorry...." he whispered
"Does spooky know you didn't kill him?" She asked
He shook his head softly "no...no one does. As far as they know, I killed him. He's dead" he responded
"What's going to happen if they find out?" She bit her nail, nervously
"I-.....Nothing good. I can tell you that. But they won't...he's NOT coming back" he grabbed her hand and went In for another hug. Their bodies were so close, he could feel Monses stomach on his.
"Don't worry about me anymore....I'm here now. Focus on Natalia" he put his hand on her stomach.
She put her hands on top of his and smiled softly, looking into his deep eyes.
"I love you" Monse leaned in and connected her lips to his
He gave her a kiss back
"I love you too"
Cesar looked around
"You shouldn't be here....it's not safe"
Monse rolled her eyes
"Seriously" he looked at her
She nodded "fine, I'll go" she gave him another kiss, slowly she pulled away. She didn't want to leave him,
Cesar stood in the room watching Monse head back to her house

Monse arrived and went straight into her bedroom, she felt like she could finally breathe, he was alive! Thank Fucking God

Thanksgiving was tomorrow, she was planning to do what she did every year, 
Make a dinner with her dad, and watch tv all day.
She wanted to invite Cesar over this year, but avoid any drama that came with him. If her dad had the slightest clue of what was happening, Cesar wouldn't be allowed near her anymore.
