ORDER #7

🍪

THE RIDE home was silent.

There was no singing, or music, or talking. the wave of unbreakable silence was overwhelming.
You knew this feeling already, but it was worse this time. Consequences of Diego's statement hitting you quick.

Again, messages from family and friends exploded your phone, your job was at risk again, and at this point- you were going to leave school. The gossip could affect your student record and get the university to kick you, so why not just do it yourself?

Diego sat beside you, looking out the window- he tried ignoring you, but your presence was the only thing he could think about.
He could hear your sniffles, he could feel Chucky's gaze looking at him through the rear view mirror, and he could feel Kevin's judgement.

He felt dumb.
She felt dumber, and even more hopeless.

DIEGO LAID in bed, one hand over his head-thinking about the fiasco that was today.

It was going so well! But I messed it up.

He groaned and flipped his body, his face burrowing into his pillow. He whined, he wasn't thinking when he said what he did. He was restless, only you took up his mind.
Diego flipped over again, his face now facing the ceiling. His hand blindly searched for his phone on the bed, once he felt the metal frame of the phone- he gripped it and pulled it towards his body.

His phone had been bombarded with messages.

Diego cleared his notification center, not wanted to read any messages anyone sent him- but he was going to send one.
Unlocking his phone, Diego made his way to the messages app- pressing Kevin's name.
