The next morning I woke up with a terrible headache. Fortunately it wasn't a school day.
I went down the stairs and into the kitchen. I found Marina eating her breakfast and my mom standing next to the sink in silence.
I grabbed a glass of water and sat next to Marina.
"Now that you're both here" my mom at last broke the silence, "we need to talk"
Marina didn't look up from her plate. I looked at my mum confused, while rubbing my temple with my hands.
"Your behavior last night was... unacceptable" my mom wasn't furious, at least not get, but she was certainly upset.
What the hell had happened last night? I realized I had a memory gap from... from after Guzman had told me that... Our dad was doing drugs. I'd totally forgot about it. About everything. The last thing I remembered was me grabbing glasses of wine from every waiter in front of me.. everything else was a blur.. I remembered looking at Ander.. and that was that. Shit. I needed to remember if I'd done anything stupid.
"I think we all understand why getting drunk at an event like that was at least humiliating for our family." My mom put me out of my thoughts "you were drunk as hell and everyone was making fun of you. Paparazzi were there. Our friends and important business partners were there. You embarrassed us"
She was waiting for something.. for an explanation of why I'd done it.. but I couldn't offer her any without telling her about dad.. so I just said, "I know. I'm sorry"
She wasn't pleased with what I'd offered, but she didn't push me farther. Instead, she turned her head to Marina, who was still paying no attention to us.
"And you. I'd told that you couldn't invite that boy." Marina was now looking at our mom, her face expressionless. "But you chose to ignore me. And caused a scene in front of everyone"
"I didn't cause a scene, mom. You did. If you'd just let me invite him none of it would've happened" Marina got up and left the room.
My mom shot me a disapproving look and then left too.
I'd to put my thoughts in order. Who should I call? Ander? Lu? And that headache was just getting worse.
I decided to go find Guzman.
I was outside of his room, ready to knock, but I heard him talking to someone.
"Are you fucking my sister?". Silence.
Shit. Shit. It had to be about me, as much as I hoped to be about Marina. What the hell.
Was he talking in the phone or was someone with him in there? Probably Ander.
I didn't trust Ander to keep our secret. Guzman was his best friend. So I opened the door and got in the room.
Ander was sitting on Guzman's bed, looking at the floor. Guzman was standing in front of him, looking at him. They both turned their heads towards me.
"What's going on?" I asked them
"I might as well ask the same think Iréne" Guzman approached me. "Are you two fucking? Are you two dating behind my back?" He pointed to me and Ander.
Shit. Where did this came from? What'd happened last night?
"No. No, Guzman! What are you talking about?" He couldn't know. It would ruin his friendship with Ander. The were already on bad terms. No, he couldn't know. So I had to lie. I was trying to be as persuasive as possible.
"No? Then what were you telling him last night, huh?" He was really mad. But he was trying not to yell.
And what the hell was I telling him last night? I looked at Ander for help. He wasn't looking at me.
"Wh-What was I.. telling him?" I asked hesitantly. I wasn't sure if I wanted to know.
All this... it would ruin their friendship. I couldn't let that happen. No.
Mercifully, Ander finally spoke. "Guzman, I told you she was drunk. You saw her. You know she was drunk. She didn't know what she was saying. There's nothing between us. We're just friends. I promise."
Guzman looked at him. I knew he wanted to believe him. He really did. But, "I can't trust you anymore, Ander. You've lied to me so many times. How do I know that you're not lying now?" His voice broke.
"Because I'm telling you that there's nothing between us." I cut in. "If you don't trust him, then trust me. And that's the end of the deal. If you can't accept that, I can't do anything else." And with that, I left his room.
What had I done? This... thing...
between me and Ander... it would ruin their friendship. I couldn't do that to my brother... I had to end things with Ander.
