Hoodie [Alejandro Rosario]

Chapter 2

It was around 10PM when I decided to finally shower, when I got out of the shower, I put on some grey sweat pants and a black cropped tank top. I then thought of grabbing some alone time. So I thought to just head to the pool to just sit and think. Uriel has left to some party in one of the lower floors. I decided not to go, given the fact I am a loner, and I have a hard time opening up to others. Either way, I'm not much of a party girl anyways. Parties get really crowded, and speaking that this party is at a hotel room.

I decided to go to the pool since no one was there, it's dark, and the sounds of the water will be soothing, it'll help me relax. I went to take the elevator and pressed the down arrow a few times. I then waited for a elevator to reach my floor. When the right elevator opened, it revealed Alejandro.

"What a coincidence." Alejandro smiled as I walked in.

"Magic, am I right. We always seem to run into each other. It's like destiny." I said jokingly. Alejandro laughed.

"Where you heading?" Alejandro asked.
"The pool." I smiled.

"You're not wearing a bathing suit..." He questioned.
"I'm not going there to swim dumbass. I'm just going there to think." I said.

"Why, to think. You okay?" Alejandro asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about me." I said.

"You can come with me to get some snacks, you can talk to me." Alejandro offered.
"No, thank you. I just like to be alone around this time if you don't mind." I asked for some space.

"Sure. I guess I'll see you another time." Alejandro said as the elevator opened.

"See you." I smiled. We parted different ways. The pool was about to close. But I didn't care. I sat down at the edge of the pool. I rolled up my sweatpants and dipped my legs into the water and splashed the water and then started to think.

I grew up isolating myself from my family. I wasn't very close to my family. I kept a distance and barely told them anything. They just think I'm not very involved in life, but I am, and it hurts me cause I want to tell them stuff, but I'm not comfortable.

Also growing up, some of my family would bully me and tease me for no reason, making me also loose trust in them. Uriel was actually there for me. I'm thankful for her.

My mom and I tend to fight a lot as well, my dad left us when I was 9, and my mom was torn by it. Since then, it's just been my mom and I, we would fight all the time. It's only sometimes where she was chill. I needed this trip to Playlist, a break from her, a chance to live.

I then started to cry, realizing on my situation once again. I then started to mumble to myself and sooner or later I was sobbing.

"Why do I do this to myself." I sobbed. 20 minutes passed and I heard someone approaching.

"Christi, is that you? Are you crying?" a familiar voice said. I then recognized it to be Alejandro's voice. I didn't want to respond. I then heard some things drop and foot steps jogging over to my direction.

"Come on, talk to me, you can trust me. Let it out, talk to me." Alejandro said concerned. He tried facing me to him but I ended up hugging him and sobbing on his shoulders. After a few minutes. I started to calm down. Alejandro still had my in his grasp. I pulled away and wiped my tears.

"Ready to talk to me?" Alejandro gently asked. I nodded.

"So, what's going on?" He asked.
"I guess all I can say is that I regret my actions in the past." I sniffled.

"It'll be okay. I'm not the best at advice to be honest, but just keep your head up high, and try to ignore your past actions." Alejandro tried to help me. I nodded. I wiped away the remaining tears.
