"ALONDRA WAKE YOUR ASS UP" i shot up from my pillow and rolled over the edge. "IM UP IM UP WHAT HAPPENED" i stand up quickly and brush my hair down wiping some drool from my mouth. I look over at my door and see my brothers Gio and Juwany clutching their stomachs and laughing. "Thanks a lot you assholes. why did you wake me from my slumber?" i question while rolling my eyes. "Just wanted to let you know Nathaniel is downstairs" Gio says still laughing as they walk out of my room.
I walk in to my bathroom grabbing my toothbrush and start to scrub my teeth. After i finish i wash my face and fix my curly hair into a messy bun. I run downstairs to find my big brother who i haven't seen in two weeks since he left to california with his best friends Oscar and Oscars brother Cesar. "NATTYYYY" i yell running into my big brothers arms. Natty is a nickname i gave him when i was about four years old. "Hi lola" he chuckled. He let me down from the hug and i turned to oscar and cesar giving them huge hugs.

*Oscar and Cesar*
We all sit at the table and start to catch up on everything that's happened while natty has been gone. The livingroom door opens and my dad walks in with bags in his hand. "Hi daddy!" i say cheerfully and get up to hug him. "Hi princess" he kisses my forehead and goes around saying hello to the guys when he finally reaches my mom. "This is for you my queen." he hands my mom a small bag from Chanel. She opens it and gasps at the diamond earrings. She embraces my dad in a huge hug and gives him a kiss as they exchange an "i love you". I love them.
My dad then hands the twins, natty, and i a bag. We turn them around and see Gucci on the front of it and i gasp. I quickly jump up and hug him and thank him a thousand times. I open the bag and find a small black shoulder bag that had the letters GG on the front.
After a while Oscar and Cesar went home, mom and dad went out to get a few things they needed for a big trip they are leaving for, which left my brothers and i at home trying to figure out what to do.
"Oh we can go to starbucks!" Juwany said with excitement. "Bro, you go there every damn day just take a break." Gio sighed. "For fucks sake guys let's just go cruising until we run out of gas." Natty rolls his eyes and grabs the keys to his jeep.
Juwany and i were sitting in the jeep waiting on gio and natty to come out of the store. "Ju take a picture of me for the gram." i hand him my phone. "Hoe do i have personal photographer written across my forehead?" he says annoyed. "Yes now do it." he takes my phone and goes to the camera snapping three pictures of me. He hands me my phone and slumps back in his seat. I look at the three and decide to post one on instagram.

a_martinez: one of a kind bby. comments: Ju_wany: i took this you whore. Nathaniel.mtz: feet off the seats. jackgilinsky: most definitely one of a kind.
*jackgilinsky followed you*
I read the comments and come across jacks. I blush slightly but soon realize my brothers are gonna start to question me. "Bro who is this he's verified on instagram?" gio turns to me holding his phone up. "Uh just a friend?" i smile awkwardly. "bullshit he's just a friend." juwany says. Trust me when i say there's a reason for them being so protective and cautious about who i let into my life. I'm just not ready to talk about it yet. I look over at natty seeing his jaw clenched and his mouth part slightly signaling he's about to say something. "We don't do these things to make your life hell lola. We do these things to protect you and make sure what happened last time never happens again." i nod my head and lay back in my seat. I love my brothers but i can too take care of myself.
Jack
I smile down at my phone scrolling through alondras instagram. "Yo is that the chick from the pizza place?" johnson asks looking over at my phone. "Yeah it is we hung out yesterday. She's incredible bro." i smile at the memory. "Uh not to burst your bubble but you have a "girlfriend" at home who not to mention is coming to omaha in a few days." he says putting air quotes around the word girlfriend. shit. madison. i sigh and slump back into the couch. It's too soon to feel this way about alondra but when i was with her yesterday it was just so indescribable. I've never felt this way not even with madison. "You're right maybe i should just let it go." i lie through my teeth. "i mean you know i'm not madison's biggest fan and the girl is really pretty i'm just suggesting that if you decide you want to talk to whatever her name is then you break things off with madison to prevent anything to happen to your career." he pats my back and walks upstairs. He's right. Maybe i should just keep alondra as a friend for a while and see if i'm actually that in to her. "The thing is though, why do you even put up with Mads? you guys have been broken up for a while yet can't stay away. You're not together but you can't break it off either. I don't know man but if you would really like to get involved with this girl i suggest you lay things clear to Madison." Johnson says as he runs a hand through his hair then walks out of my room.
I lay down on my bed and reach for my phone scrolling through my messages when i finally find her name. I type out one word hoping she replies before i drift off to sleep.
Alondra
I wave my parents goodbye as they get into the uber and start heading for the airport. I turn on my heels and walk inside when my phone goes off. "Hey" it was jack. I smile and quickly reply back.
I say goodnight and hug my brothers before heading into my room and changing into some shorts to go to bed. As i lay there i think about jack and what my brother said. "we do these things to protect you and make sure what happened last time never happens again." i look down at my exposed leg and see the big scar. Let's hope it never happens again. If i start to feel anything more for jack my brothers will want to have a serious talk with him and who knows what will happen. It's too soon to think about that so i roll over and hug my body pillow drifting off into a deep deep sleep.
