My eyes widen and I rush behind Isa into her home.

"So, he had other guys with him too?" I clutch my backpack strap.

Isa nods furiously and her breathing is still quick.

"I kind of just saved our lives." She breathes out.

I agree silently with her and throw my backpack on her brown leathered couch. I wonder what Harry would have done if he was walking home with me and had seen Rick.

Then again, before today he hadn't known he was in town again.

"Do you have food?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.

"You want to eat now?" Isa laughs sarcastically, "we could have been sexually assaulted, Mack."

I put my head down, "You don't know that."

"I don't?" She shakes her head, "You and I both know what Rick has wanted from you since Junior year. Pay more attention."

I sigh and nod. She's right.

"And yes," she smirks, "I do have food."

I manage to smile and I follow Isa into her humongous kitchen filled with amazing pastries. (Her mother is a baker.)

As Isa and I eat one of her mothers delicious cupcakes, I get a text message from my mother.

From: Madre

Did you drive your car to school today?

To: Madre

No, why?

From: Madre

I just got home and it's not in the driveway.

I start to panic and get up from my seat on Isa's couch.

"What's wrong?" Isa says with a mouthful of cupcakes.

"My car," I shake my hands, "it's not home."

Isa furrows her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"I didn't drive my car to or from school today and it's not in the driveway." I pull the ends of my hair, "someone stole my car!"

Isa's eyes widen and soon enough, we were both running out of the house and unto the sidewalk.

Isa and I run towards my house and slow down, catching our breath.

Isa nods, "Your right, it's not here."

I sigh in frustration, "Who could have taken it?"

Isa gasps and grabs my arm, "Do y'all have cameras?"

My eyes widen and I unlock the front door, running to my moms room. Isa, right at my heels.

"Mom?" I yell once I'm in the master bedroom.

"In here!" She yelled from the bathroom.

"Cover up, Isa is with me." I warn before turning the knob on the door and letting Isa and I in.

"We need to check the cameras." I state and Isa nods beside me.

My mother smiles but her eyes show curiosity, "Porque?"

{"Why" in Spanish.}

I wave my hands in the air, "Someone stole my car!"

My mother's eyes widen and she quickly says, "Well, check then!"

Isa and I run into the closet of my mom and dad and click rewind on the computer screen that shows us all 5 camera views, including the front of the house.

Yes I know, it's weird to have a security camera computer system but it's actually a good place to set it up.

I set the rewind timer for 4:00 since that's about the same time I get home from walking.

You can see Rick and the other guys around him laughing and shoving each other's shoulders and once in a while, looking side to side for any people. For me.

Suddenly, they all get up and leave the area. None of them try to get into my car, they walk right past it.

"What?" Isa whispers from behind me.

I do a few clicks on the mouse and it speeds up the video when another person comes into view.

"There!" Isa screams, pointing at the corner of the screen and I stop the fast forwarding.

I can't see the face but I know that it's a girl. Just as fast as she arrived, she got into my car and drove off.

"Oh my god." Isa clasps her hand over her mouth.

"What?" I say, stopping the video.

Isa points again to the screen, "I swear I saw pink heels."

"You mean?" I lower my hand from the mouse.

"Yup." Isa nods, "Mia took your car."

Isa nudges my shoulder from behind, "C'mon, I know where she lives."

I turn to her and smirk, "How?"

She rolls her eyes, "She had a party and everyone was invited."

I frown, "I wasn't!"

Isa laughs and tugs at my arm, "C'mon."

-

Isa puts her car in park and we get out of the car, shutting the door quietly.

I had brought my keys just in case Mia really did have my car and as I take a glance at her driveway, it's parked.

I shake my head, "Why?"

I look around my car for any scratches or abuse done to it, surprisingly, it's still okay.

"I'm going to beat this stupid ass hoe." Isa speed walks to the front door and knocks on it forcefully. I run behind her but keep my head down. Suddenly, I hear the door open and my breathing quickens.

"I would like to know why my best friends car is parked...." Isa starts, but her voice dies down and I frown.

Why'd she stop talking? I look at Isa first and notice her staring at me worriedly.

I look up to find Mia smirking. As I look next to her, my eyes meet familiar hazel green eyes.

"Harry?" I whisper.

My stomach erupts with a million tornadoes and I turn to Isa, whispering, "This was a trick."

Isa furrows her eyebrows at me and turns back to Mia and Harry.

Are they back together again?

"I will fucking kill you. Sooner or later." Isa says, stepping towards Mia then turning around, walking down the driveway dragging her with me.

I get into my car and Isa gets into hers. I follow her to my house and once we get out of our cars, Isa rushes over to me.

"What do you mean it was a trick, hun?" She whispers giving me a hug.

I hug her back,"I don't know, I just feel it in my gut."

Isa pulls away and cracks a small smile, "Maybe Rick was sent here by Mia knowing you would somehow be away from home if you saw him so she took your car and allowed us to see who she was so we would go to her house and find her and Harry together to intimidate you more."

I nod, "Exactly."
