The Summer of Love ♡ Benny Rodriguez

11. Phone Call

We got home and Cole stayed with us for a while. I went to my room and opened the door. I go to my nightstand and pick up my telephone so I can call Camila. I dialed her number and impatiently waited for her to answer. It ringed a couple of times and then that's when someone finally picked up.

"Hello?" She says. My frown turns into a smile.

"Hey Cami! It's me..." I say. I hear her gasp very loudly and I just giggle.

"Natalia! Oh my god, you finally called." She remarks and I just roll my eyes.

"It has only been like 2 weeks don't be so dramatic." I say laughing. She laughs along with me. I lay on my bed and play with the charm necklace around my neck.

"So how is it so far there?" She asks. I look out the window and I get a view of Benny's house. I small smile forms on my face but then I frown.

"It has been... Weird." My voice sounding kinda dull and Camila notices.

"Good weird or bad weird?" She questions.

I sigh. "Both actually... It's complicated."

"Tell me the bad weird first so we have something to talk after." She says. I just roll on my belly and hold the telephone up to my ear.

"Well, since I can tell you everything because you're my best friend, the real reason we came here is because of my father." My voice cracks at the last word... I never liked saying that word at all. It's weird but I can't just pretend like he isn't in fact still a part of the family. Hatred fills my mind... I hate him so much for what he has done. I hear Camila's sweet and soft voice.

"Is everything alright? What did he do this time? Tell me you guys are okay?" She says her voice rising.

"It's fine Cami... We're okay. He found out where we lived and we just had to move away because we can't let him find us. Anyway that's not the only reason we moved there is something to back that up..." I say playing with the cord.

"And that is?" She curiously asks me.

"Apparently my mom has a boyfriend." I dragged that last word through gritted teeth. I hear Camila cough uncontrollably. "A-are you okay?"

"I'm fine... It's that... That's so much information I'm taking in right now. Your mom having a boyfriend must be really weird huh?" I look up at the ceiling and close my eyes.

"Yeah it is. The worst part is that he has a spoiled little brat for a daughter." I replied. I hear Camila groan.

"That sucks. I hope you'll be okay... We miss you a lot. Believe it or not, Jacob has been kinda in a depressed mood for the past 2 weeks." She says. I smile weakly and laugh lightly.

"I'm going to be honest here I miss him and his cute pink cheeks." I hear Camila gag and I laughed.

"That's gross... I'm telling him!" She says laughing.

"No!!! Don't! Anyway I want to tell you all about that good things." I say, my sadness being all bottled up.

"Tell me woman!" She demands.

"Okay okay, so I have found this baseball field I can play in so I practice for when I get to high school!" I say almost squealing.

"Thats cool! Are you going to try to convince the principal at that school so they can let you play baseball instead this time?" She asks.

"Im going to try..." I say nervously

"Anyway, I don't think Luna would want to practice with you."
