a tear for every drop of rain.

daddy issues pt2

" what the fuck happened" alix asked nervously

adem: she was listening to her music in the hall and i don't know what happened but she started breathing heavily and crying just looking at her phone"
(this was the cover story)

alix: how did you guys end up in the bathroom?" alix sounded demanding at this point

macaría cuts in and speaks
my dad just texted me that's all"

alix: well what did he say"

mac: he said that he's sorry for everything he put me through and that he wants to talk and that he's sorry about what he said about my sister"

*macaría started to make herself cry*

alix brings her into a warm embrace

alix: hey hey it's okay, alright ? just be glad adem was here for you"

she looks at adem and smiles. when she notices a huge hickey poking out from his shirt. and just before things could get worse chris calls to Alix and she walks away after another hug.

macaría looks at adem and he lets out a smile and she laughs. like last time, he's the first one to break the tension

adem: can i ask you something?"

mac: yeah of course"

adem: why would you be emotional over what your dad said about your sister, if you don't mind the question"

mac: oh man get ready for a long one"

adem: okay?"

mac: my dad is a drug addict and alcoholic. at some point he just gave up on his family and chose drugs over me and my mom. when i was 5 years old my mom picked me up from kindergarten and had all of our stuff in the car, she said we are leaving. we moved down here because my mom was done with my dad and his bullshit. he's been in and out of my life since."

adem: oh my god"

mac: my mom met my step dad and they are happy, my mom got pregnant once when i was in 7th grade and she miscarried. she got pregnant again and she had my sister divina, but she died because the baby sitter was neglecting her and put her to sleep face down. at that time my mom and dad got into a heated argument and he told my mom that her baby dying was a punishment from god"

at this point macaría was actually starting to tear up and adem noticed. he brought her into a tight embrace and was petting her hair down.

~why do i like this so much, we've only known each other for a week. yet this feels so normal, like i was made for him to wrap his arms around me~

adem: Mac i want you to know that i'm here for you. i know we've only been talking for a week but my god nothing as ever felt so natural. i've never had a connection like this before"

mac: i feel the same. i've never connected with anyone this way"

adem: but there is one thing i should let you know, mac"

mac: what is it"

his breath is shaky like he's gonna pass out mac puts her hands on his cheek

mac: hey, what ever it is i'll accept it. i want you to be able to trust me with anything. i want you to know i'm here for you"

he sighs and says " i have an illness, it's really complicated and it doesn't make much sense but if i get really hard in my liver or spleen area i'll start coughing up a lot of blood"

mac: oh my god, i'm sorry you have to go through that fear. but you know i'm here. i'll never judge you or question you. i accept who you are, no matter whats going on in your life"

he smiles, almost like he's about to cry. he hugs her again but this time it's more affectionate.

adem: thank you mac, thank you so much"

he pulls her into another searing kiss and when he pull away his eyes are dark, hungry for her. just as he's about to kiss her again she pulls away and leads him into the kitchen to get another drink

adem: your getting another drink ?" he said shocked

mac: yes, is that so bad"

adem: no i just-"

mac: didn't expect it from me ?"

adem: no i'm just a little shocked, you seem so innocent"

Macaría moves in front of him trapping him in the corner of the counter and whispers in his ear

mac: trust me when i say this, i'm not as innocent as i seem"

adems eyes go dark and searching hers. hungry for her touch again. she moves away from him and she takes a sip of her drink then puts it in a high cabinet

adem: why'd you do that?"

mac: so i know it's mine, i'm not trying to get roofied" she says laughing

she turns and starts walking slowly away, turns her head and looks down so she can at least see his feet following her. they end up in the same bathroom and lock the door again. same thing happens. he lifts her like she weights nothing and puts her on the sink.

at some point they eventually stop and just sit on the floor and she leans her head on his shoulders.

adem: i think it's time i ask you on a proper date"
