ALEX, OLIVIA AND ELENA were now on the way back to the Alvarez apartment. Both Alex and Elena were arguing on the way there. Olivia didn't know what to do or say so she just kept quiet.
"Don't talk to me!" Elena exclaimed in fury. "calm down! You're totally overreacting!" Alex sighed.
"Overreacting?!"
"Alex, I don't think she's overreacting." Olivia said softly.
"See? Even livi knows!" "Oh, so you're on her side now?" Alex scoffed.
"Hey, hey. Whats going on here?" Penelope asked, confusion written on her face as she tried to break the argument.
"He's been lying about having a girlfriend!" Elena spat.
"Papito's gay too?" Lydia gasped. "I will be the only woman he's ever loved...Okay, I'm good."
"No. The 'P' in his phone was Papi. He's been sneaking around and seeing him." Elena said.
"What? Your papi's back in the country? Since when?" Penelope asked Alex.
"About three weeks ago. He has a month off and he's staying with Tía." Alex said, sighing. Olivia frowned. She always wondered why he wouldn't hang out with her the past few days and it was all because he wanted to see his father.
"And you've been seeing him without telling me?" Penelope scoffed, disappointment written on her face.
"It's not as bad as it sounds. I knew you wouldn't like it, so I made up a girlfriend, then met papi in secret so you wouldn't find out." Alex explained, thinking it sounded better but only made penelope more mad. Olivia rolled his eyes at his explanation.
"No, that's as bad as it sounds!" Penelope exclaimed. "Papito, you're making me side with Elena and it's very upsetting." Lydia sighed as Olivia nodded with her.
"Alex, I'm not upset because you saw your father. You should be able to see your father. I'm upset because you lied to me." Penelope said.
"Papi said it was easier this way. You all hate him, so why make trouble? This way everybody's happy. " Alex huffed.
"We are not happy! I should be smothering you with kisses right now, but instead I am frowning. Ay, my lips are so confused!" Lydia groaned.
