"it's a long story," a voice was heard from the entrance.

"amaia," catherine jumped to her feet.

"hi," amaia smiled softly, walking in. "sorry for coming without an invitation," she chuckled.

"you're always welcomed," erick smiled at her.

"sorry to seem straight up but what's the story?" zabdiel asked.

amaia took a seat in the empty couch and inhaled deeply.

"when we first moved here, ara was only 13. at that time our parents were still together," she started.

"and then after a few weeks, somehow all they did were fight in the middle of the night, thinking we never noticed. because of that, they did something to spite each other," she said.

"my dad would sleep with literally any woman his way, and my mom would do the same with random people. one of the women my dad slept with got pregnant," she said again.

the friends looked at each other, getting more interested in the story.

"but she got a miscarriage. and the word of it was spread throughout this town, and of course everyone thought of my dad as that guy that ruins people's daughters," she continued.

"not to mention my mom took off with one of her scandal's money," she chuckled.

"so that's why people are beefing with the collins?" rosemary asked and amaia nodded.

"i feel like it's stupid but oh well, society," jaelyn said and they nodded.

maria stayed shut as she leaned back into the couch. the girl was long gone but then now the sister is here.

how nice.

everyone was sat in the backyard by the pool.

richard couldn't hold it in any longer.

the guilt was overwhelming and he needed to tell them.

catherine and christopher definitely noticed something, but they kept quiet.

"guys, i need to tell you guys something," richard said, gaining their attention.

"what's up?" erick asked.

catherine shifted in her seat, biting her nail.

"i know who did it," he said causing his sister to look at him wide-eyed.

"did what?" zabdiel asked. "caused the accident. the one that killed ara," richard said.

everyone sat up and paid full attention.

"who?" amaia asked.

richard looked down, scratching the back of his neck.

he was definitely gonna lose them for this, but he needed to tell them the truth.

"richard. who did it?" joel asked him.

richard looked up and looked at each and every one of his friends.

"we all know it was an accident, and it definitely wasn't intentional," the dominican said and they nodded.

"just tell us who did it," lizzy said.

"i did,"
