Chapter 8: Dad Is Leaving

~Carlos' POV~

Today my dad was leaving. I was standing outside with my mum, Elizabeth and Maria. It's a offical, me and Maria are together. Mum gave dad hug and a long ass kiss. I turned around to see Elizabeth crying. I walked over to her and hugged.

"Dad will be home, sooner or later. I promise." I said. Elizabeth sobbed in my arms. I wanted to cry but I didn't.

"Carlos." My father called.

I turned around to see him. He had a little smile. "Yes, dad?" I walked over to him, I gave him a hug as he did to me. He pulled away and looked in my eyes.

"Carlos, you know I love you right?" My father asked.

"Yes." I nodded. I felt a knot in my throat.

"I want you to stay with Maria." My dad smiled. "She's right for you."

"I-I will dad." I said, looking down. I looked up back as I saw tears filling my fathers eyes.

"I'll be home soon." He said, as he hugged me again. When he hugged me again...I didn't let go. For the first time...I cried.

"Dad, don't go. Stay, stay home!" I cried. My sobs were getting loud.

"Carlos, calm down." My father said.

I pulled away as my dad wiped my tears away.

"Carlos, you're father has to go." Mum said.

I turned around and walked away. Maria, smiled me I guess trying to make me feel better. I just hugged her.

"I love you, Zayn." I heard mum say.

"I love you too, Natalia." My father said.

I heard the car door open, I looked and saw my father get in the car. He waved goodbye and drove off. I went in the house and went straight in my room.

"Carlos." My mum said.

"I want to be alone." I said.

"Alright, baby." She said, as her foot steps faded.

******

I woke up feeling tired still because of my crying. I sat up and walked out my room. I spelled food in the kicthen, I saw my Maria and Elizabeth sitting on the couch.

"Hey, sleepy head." Elizabeth smiled. "Are you ok?"

I shrugged and sat next Maria. She was wearing a black crop top and gray sweats. Her long hair was out. She looked cute.

"What?" Maria blushed.

"You look beautiful." I said, pulling her on my lap. She giggled, Maria pulled my hands to wrap them around her stomach.

"Carlos, you're awake." Mum smiled. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm ok." I shrugged.

"Well dinner is ready, if you guys are hungry." Mum said, walking up the steps.

Maria and Elizabeth got up. I pulled Maria back down. "Carlos."

"Don't leave me." I said, hugging her.

"Babe, I'm hungry..you can come too." Maria said. "Come on."

Maria grabbed my hand and dragged me in the kicthen. I sat down and sighed. It's boring here with dad here.

"Do you want mac and cheese Carlos?" Elizabeth asked.

"I'm not hungry." I shook my head.

Maria sat next to me as she gave me a worried look. I tried to smile but I couldn't when my dad popped in my head.

"Carlos." Maria said, wiping a tear from my face. I cried on her shoulder and pulled her close. She took me in her arms. "It's ok baby."

"I wish he was home." I cried. "There is nothing to do without him."
