"You okay?" Em says to me as she drives.
I turn to her, with a frown on my face. Nicole leans forward from the backseat and puts a hand on my shoulder. "Fuck him, fuck her."
I nod. "Yeah you're right, we weren't even together I don't know why I'm so pressed about it... we weren't even like that... I guess I just felt a connection with him that I haven't felt before."
"Mar is a player, always has been... but he seemed different with you. Samy said he hadn't even mentioned another girl since you've been here..." Nicole says shrugging.

My dad gulped as he looked at me, guilt smeared on his face.
"Are you the reason why she was acting so fucking weird?" I say walking over to the table.
"I told you to stay away from the Castillo girl, you left me no fucking choice Mariano." He says putting his hands up in defence.
"So you decide to call up Yasmin, somebody I haven't seen for years, and get her to make moves on me? Don't involve her in this shit."
"She wasn't going to turn down a grand."
"A grand? You paid her a grand to do that? Wow." I shake my head.
"Be glad I didn't add an extra few grand and ask her to kill the girl, since you have no fucking ears and disobey my orders." He says in a pissed off tone.
I scoff.
"Take that as a warning, stay away Mariano." My dad says as he stands up, taking his plate to the kitchen.
My jaw clenches and I storm off to my room, slamming the door and sitting on my bed, pulling out my phone to text Samy, I need a fuckin break from this shit.
Me: u tryna reach the woods? need a break dawg
Samy: thought you'd neva ask, i'll invite the others boys 🔥
Me: bet, ill invite the girls, meet y'all there tn
Last summer, me and the boys chipped in and bought a two-story house out in the woods. We had the wildest parties all summer there, and right now I need that summer back.
It'll be the perfect opportunity to clear the air with Bella, especially since our parents know nothing about this house.
"Mar?" I hear as my sister knocks on my door.
"Mm?" I say as she opens the door.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, just Dad being an asshole, nothin' new."
She nods, and looks down abit.
"Are you okay?"
She walks towards me and sits beside me. "I'm scared."
"Why are you scared?" I say wrapping an arm around her.
"Just seeing dad getting arrested, felt like I lost him, almost. Reality just hit me that this shit is real, and you and Pablo are all I have left. I don't want anything to happen to you two..." She says as tears form in her eyes and she hugs me tightly.
I feel a lump form in my throat and my chest tighten.
"Mariceli you won't lose us. I love you and as your brothers we'll protect you forever, there's no fucking way we'd let anything happen to you, okay?" I say kissing her on the head.
