I took the night shift, which are my favorites. Its calm and the bar looks nice when its dark from outside. I cleaned the table as the last man got up and left. It was closing time. I put the chairs up and the door opened.

"Sorry but we're closed." I looked up to see the one and only Roberto. "Get out." I growled.

"We need to talk."

"We're talking, you need to leave." He walked up to me. He placed his hand on my arm.

"Marisol-" i slapped him.

"How dare you come here. You have to leave." His eyes were in rage, he raised his fist. "Come on hit me. Miguel would hear about this." Roberto lowered his hand. "Thats what I thought. Theres the door." I pointed at it. He didnt move.

"I miss you. I changed. Just let me show you." He stepped closer to me. I grabbed his arm, opened the door and kicked him out.

"If I ever see you again, I'll kill you." I slammed the door and locked it. I closed the place and waited for him to leave. Once the coast was clear, i went home. I opened the door and placed my bag down.

Flashback: I went to the police station. I found out the my restraining order didnt go through. Franky was kind enough to do it.

"Marisol!" Franky waved. I saw Mr. Gracia, his dad. He had this look like he wanted me out of there. Every cop was staring. I grabbed my bag tight to my chest. I sat down with Franky.

"Do you know any idea why it didnt go through?"

"Its his dad, what do think? Me being a great friend, i found out where it was." He whispers. "Its still in his desk. But i got you Marisol."

"Thank you Franky, really." I smiled shyly.

"You can trust me. This one is going through."

"I hope so. I cant have him in my life anymore."

Flashback over:
"Marisol?" Angel came out.

"Whats up?" Angel looked at me with teary eyes. "Angel?" He walked to me and hugged me. I was confused.

"Im sorry." Angel cried. I hugged Angel back.

"For what Angel? You did nothing wrong." Angel sniffs and looks at me.

"For being a bad brother. I never did anything good for you."

"Yes you have Angel. You're not a bad brother. You raised me. Dont think that." I looked at him. I placed my hands on his cheeks.

"Adelita is pregnant."

"Yeah i know." I nodded.

"Its my kid. Marisol, i dont know what to do. I left her there. She told me to leave. I love her, you are right. It hurts so bad." He cried. The kids his. A little piece of me broke.

"Its Adelita, shes strong. She knows what to do. She trusts you Angel. Dont prove her wrong. She'll be okay." I looked at him straight in the eye.

"I dont even know ill be a good dad."

"You are Angel Reyes, you'll be great at being a dad." I told him. He looked at me with a tear falling down his cheek.
