Hidden Truths

¡Chapter Twenty! ~ Back

"What's," Al slurred, "why is he here?"

"Oh, hey. Uh, Pedro said I could do whatever so I was going to visit Daniel," Gabriel explained; there was still that awkwardness between him and Alejandro.

"So, where are we exactly? With Dani? Or are we stuck in a moving box," he was still drowsy from everything.

"We should be back in Madrid soon, from what I know. You'll get to see everyone again," Gabriel smiled, trying to ease the confusion.

"Oh. Uh. Madrid, um that's where Maria lives right? Or was it uh Angelica? No it was Florencia. Sweeeeeet," everyone could tell it was his first time dying. Someone like Antonio had it all under control, he could heal over night. He would be the same in the morning, but Alejandro had only ever suffered from concussions and broken bones.

He may have lost his memory.

"What? No, you mean Maria. You know, your girlfriend? About the same size as us because we're all five, and uh, dark hair, dark eyes. Long curly hair sometimes and really straight hair the other times. She's an island, in the pacific," Carlos was seeing if he'd get annoyed at the obvious information he was throwing at him. Instead, Alejandro nodded.

"Sweet I'm dating someone," Al hummed as he sat back in his seat.

"Yea, you are," Santiago chirped in. Now Gabe and Dani were 'driving' the bull and he was sitting back there with everyone else.

"Sweet," so the attitude was still there.

Santiago whispered something to Carlos and the Venezuelan shook his head.

"Oh so you're dating too right? The whole secrecy thing, because you're insulting me," Alejandro found an apple and took a bite out of it. "Sweet."

"What happened to him? He's so, not sweet," Carlos rolled his eyes.

"Not even denying it, sweeeet," Alejandro continued to eat it and threw the apple onto the road. "Well where do I live? With my girlfriend?" He asked, thinking that was a bit weird.

"Yes. And with us, we all live in the same room, and we eat the same food. We're like siblings but we're not. You should know this Al," Santiago was more concerned than before.

"Does Al stand for something? Like Alister? Alexander? Ali?" He was crossing his legs and looking at them judgtngly.

"Alejandro. Wow Maria's gonna be pissed."

"Do you think that's gonna last Carlos?" Pablo asked, from his timid corner. "I mean they're so far away from each other, and Maria has other people looking at her."

"My relationship sounds bad. I'll end it," Alejandro said nonchalantly. "That's the right thing to do right? Then I can see other people too."

There was a heavy silence and Santiago started heating up.

"Excuse me? Wow okay what? Is this gonna last? CARLOS IS THIS GONNA LAST, he's mental. He's delusional. You're crazy. Wow. Sweet." Carlos smiled sheepishly and patted his back.

"If it lasts he's officially off my best friends list. And this is, uh, calm down Santi, you'll be fine," Pablo didn't seem to mind the change.

"I mean it makes sense. She's also Asian you know, and you don't really know who else in Asia would love to get at that," Pablo explained, this was rather weird.

"Yes but Pablo, you have to live for the moment no?" Carlos interjected before Alejandro could speak.

"That's easy for you to say. Your lover boy is a few kilometres away isn't he?"
