Rachel Sandoval and her big brother Darry have been through quite a lot. They were abused by their father and was left by their mother. Now that Darry turned 18, he has full custody of his 15 year old sister. He's developed this over protective pers...
April 13th, 2020 Rachel's p/v "Stay got a lot of views and likes, not to mention over 10 comments asking you to drop another song. You're going places, popstar Rachel." "How am I going to write different lyrics. Those lyrics came out of thin air." "Lucky for you, the problem is with Tyler now. Another sad pop song under your belt." "Eat your scrambled eggs, Declan." "I'm just saying," he takes a sip of his coffee, "you have the material, just gotta work with it." "Ok, let me just write what I'm feeling." "Atta girl." I grab my pencil and stare at my notebook. Tyler and I are ok at the moment. We keep talking about having that conversation but the truth is, we've already had. Multiple times. There's no solution to this argument. Either we move on or break up.
Breaking up will be a very hard thing to do. It's a no brainer, but I can't imagine the process of getting over him. Missing him, denying the breakup, cursing him in my mind, having to write my song about how heartbroken I am. Never. "Got anything?" "Just existential dread. School year is almost over." "Favorite school year by far. You opened up the world I was struggling to find my place in." "You restored my faith in humanity. We were both in pretty dark times when we met each other." "Promise me nothing is going to change between us. We're going to have the best summer and then have an amazing junior year." "I'm game if you're game." "You've been spending too much time with Aiden." "So have you. What's this white shirt and flannel you're wearing." I tug on his collar. "He lent it to me last night because I got cold. Homies give each other their jackets to keep warm." He takes another sip of his coffee. "Next thing I know you're gonna go to the movies with Mary."
Declan starts chocking on his coffee. I should be connecting the dots but my eggs are getting cold so.
Tyler's p/v Even though Tomás convinced me to sneak out last night, he drew the line at me going through with the plan I had for my mother. Why should I go through with it? It's not like she deserves it. But I'm forgetting about the person involved who doesn't deserve it.

We were supposed to call last night but I think she went straight to bed. I'm not mad, I just miss her. Maybe she's sleeping in too, that's why she hasn't responded to my good morning text. I'll just act like she's snoring right now. Everything is ok.
She never posts on her Instagram story, but when she does it's like a surprise. Oh sweet, my lovely girlfriend! A celebrity sighting.
I can't hurt Rachel. Before I do anything I need to talk to my mother. She's in her office answering emails or something, maybe I'll pull her for a chat. Or she can stay in there and not notice me sneaking out. Got away with it last night. If I leave I'm going to want to go through with my plan. I know what the right thing to do is, but I'm not going to do it right now.
The necklace that Rachel gave me is going on the loop of my jeans. She can get her point across, must be her sparking energy. May my wife be with me.
Rachel's p/v Declan is off watching a bunch of movies for an assignment and I'm putting together an outfit. Got the whole day booked with various people. Phone is finally charged, makeup is on, AND I FORGOT MY CALL TYLER. "Hey love-" "I'm so sorry, Darry and I were watching a movie and I fell asleep on the couch and you know how that goes for me. And when I woke up in the middle of the night I was too scared to move so I stayed there and went back to sleep. Phone was dead and Declan came over for breakfast like we planned yesterday and once again, I'm sorry."
