i can't do this, especially tonight. i had such a good time with alejandro at the restaurant. we hadn't had a night like that in awhile where we just laughed and smiled and enjoyed each other's company. the saddest part is we haven't had a night like that in awhile because of me. ever since i haven't been able to decide between mattia and alejandro i've been distancing myself from both of them which has been so hard for me. but, mattia did give me a good idea. i think i do need a night with alivia. alivia parrish has been my best friend since we were in 6th grade. she was my ride or die through all my rough times, fights with alejandro, and she's been unknowingly helping me through the mattia/alejandro situation since it started. alivia is another person i feel extremely guilty not telling. she's my best friend and deserves to know everything but she'll be so disappointed and i can't risk losing the person who means the most to me. i went on my phone to text liv.

hey lovebug :) do you think i could spend the night i rlly need you rn

she responded almost instantly.

alivia parrish 💜
ofc dej my door is always open girl

deja alvarez
awe 🥺 should we invite ella

alivia parrish 💜
yea if your mom or titi can bring you guys bc i can't come get you

deja alvarez
ight see you in 20

ella is my cousin and another one of my best friends. same deal as alivia been here forever, we're mad close, and so on. she's the sweetest and most beautiful girl you could ever meet. i love her with all my heart and i'm so glad to call someone like her family. yet another reason i've been feeling so bad about my thing with mattia. the alvarez family is supposed to have no secrets whatsoever.

my mom and titi angel (ella's mom) tell eachother everything and that's how i wished me and ella could be. but, with this specific situation i have to break family code which is even worse than the actual cheating. family is everything to us alvarez's and i'm going against every little thing i've been told since i could understand the real concept of family. then my phone went off and i really hoped it wasn't mattia.

yea ofc i just need a ride over there

deja alvarez
mami's got you el

cuzzo ❣️
aw thanks tell her she's the best aunt ever

deja alvarez
believe me , she already knows ;)

thank god the text wasn't from mattia or i probably would've lost my sh!t. hopefully he doesn't try to text me for the rest of the night because i just want hang out with my girls and have a good time for once. i went upstairs and packed a bag and went to go ask my mom if she could take me over to liv's. she looked at me like i was crazy. "ay dios mio deja you think i'm driving to alivia's at this time of day after i worked all day?? absolutely not." i frowned, "mami i need to see them and ella's supposed to come too." she didn't seem to care and went back to bed mumbling something about how kids are ungrateful and i wouldn't be acting like this if i grew up in puerto rico like her. whatever.
