The Truth Hurts (Camren)

Los Menores

It was clear that all of this has gotten out of hand I mean I knew things had gotten bad but I never imagined it would have turned out like this. I couldn't stand seeing her cry like that and then today out of all days when she should have been the happiest for all of this to happen just pissed me off.

She didn't know this but I know that all our other friends know what I feel for her. I mean I've liked her since I was 13 and now that she's 15 and I'm 17 maybe her dad won't kill me for wanting to date his little girl.

"Alex mijo is that you" I hear my mom call out once I close the front door

"Hi mama yeah I just got back. Sorry I was out so late" I say while walking into the living room where she was watching Don Fransisco

"Aye don't worry hijo. Did Sofi like the gift you got her?" She asks me while still looking at the TV

"Ah no I was going to pero I don't know. I don't think she wouldn't have liked it much compared to all the gifts she got from her family" I answer shyly

"Alexis Enrique Santana. What do you mean you did not give her the gift you spent weeks saving up to get for her" My mom says now standing up from her seat and look at me

"Ma not now please quench's that was the least of my problems today." I reply

"Alexis what are you talking about?" She questions me

"Ugh Sofi's mom showed up at the party completely drunk and made a big scene." I respond letting out a sigh

"Sinuhe showed up drunk?" My mom says now very interested just like any gossip looking hispanic

"Mama stop this isn't for you to be telling the whole barrio here this is serious" I stated sternly knowing how my mom was

"Okay okay I understand pero que paso?" She asks me

"I don't know how she got there not even Sofi or her sister knew pero she caused a big mess. Sofi and her sister started arguing with her and then it go to a point I had to grab Sofi off of her mom because she started to hit her. It was bad and at the end the police came and arrested Sinuhe. After that Sofi cried for about 3 hours and I had to stay with her until she felt better" I say making the long story short

"Ay Alex. pero is she doing better now?" My mom asks me

"She said she will be but I'm not sure. I told her I would stop be tomorrow to check on her" I said to my mom

"Okay puts if you have to go all the way to where she lives now go to your room and go to bed I know your tired from taking that two hour bus ride over there" She says giving me a small kiss on my forehead

"Thanks ma. I'll see you in the morning" I respond then head to my room

Yeah I wasn't that much of a rich kid I'm at the high school on a sports scholarship for soccer and being in my Junior year right now meant I had to work hard to get a college scholarship. As for Sofi I've known her she lived next door before the problem with her parents happened. I use to play with her when we were little and since I was older then her I always took care of her. When the stuff with her parents started she was always here in my house just so she wouldn't hear her parents fighting. The moment I know I really liked her though was when her older sister left to college. She was 11 and I just turned 13. we were coming back from school and her dad had come home early from work something he never did unless something bad happened. I went into her old house with her because I wanted to make sure she was okay and we walked in I saw an older girl holding a baby and Sofi's dad with fury in his eyes. I had thought that Mr. Cabello had cheated on his wife at the time but when I Sofi called the girl Lauren and asked where her sister was I figured that the girl was Camila's girlfriend that Sofi always talked about. After a minute Mr. Cabello saw that I was there too and gave me a look that said something bad happened. Sofi found out that day her sister left with out a word. Sofi cried the whole night that day and while I was comforting her I knew that I was going to take care of her and never leave her side like Camila did because I never wanted to see her cry again. Till this day I'm still be her side but now I see her as more then just the little 6 year old who I raced my bike with or the 10 year old who I played games with. When I was 13 I just thought I liked her because she was a really cute girl but now she isn't a kid she's more then that and I was going to tell her how I felt today matter a fact I was going to tell her before Camila gave her that expensive car. But after that I realized that Sofia Cabello has just become a girl that is way out of my league. I just wish I would have told her sooner. But At least she's still in my life as her best friend.
