JOEL: Hey Liz! Wait up! - He yelled running towards me to open the door-
Lizeth: Joel please go away. Im not in the mood to talk at the moment. -I say distantly with tears in my eyes.
Joel: But why are you crying, pretty girl? -He says with a worried look on his face-
Did he just call me "pretty girl"? I couldn't help but smile for a second as my heart skipped a beat then I came back to reality.
Lizeth: Im fine! Just go back inside and have fun!
Joel: Not without you, I'm not!
Lizeth: Joel just go back inside. I'm going home anyway!
Joel: Why are you going home?
Lizeth: Because... I just want to okay. -I said in between tears-
Joel: Well, can I at least take you home?
Lizeth: I... I don't... Alright. -I finally agree-
At least it will save me from going on an Uber. I followed him to his car and he ran ahead to the car to open the door.
Joel: Here you go! - He said opening it with the most sweetest smile.-
I didn't say thank you, I just gave him a smile. I felt my eyes all watery and I looked in the mirror of the car, my eyes where red and my nose was stuffy. The whole car ride was silent. I felt him try to say something a couple of times but he didn't. I guess he didn't know what to say or how to say it. We finally arrive at my house.
Joel: Holy crap! This is your house?!
Lizeth: Yea, My mom had been saving up money for a while. So she was able to afford to buy this place.
Joel: Wow. Wait! I'll get that for you! -he said running out of the car to open the door-
Lizeth: Thank you.
We walk to the front door and I walked in leaving the door open. He just stood outside. Then I looked back to see him not coming in.
Lizeth: You can come in. -I said very shyly.-
Joel: umm, thanks.
He then comes in and I turn around so we are face to face.
Joel: Look Liz. I... umm... I know that we just met today and everything but I consider you as a friend already. I mean, you're nice, you're friends with all my friends and you're a really cool person to hang around. I don't like to see my friends cry and be hurt. So, umm. Why don't you tell me what's going?
Everything came back all of a sudden in a rush. Everything, the memories of what I did, the thoughts of what they would say and their faces when they find out just popped up to my head all at once. Then I fell to the ground and started to sob. He immediately embraced me into a hug and didn't say anything. We just sat on the floor not saying a word while he was hugging me and I was sobbing.
Lizeth: Im sorry! -I say in between sobs-
Joel: Hey, you don't have anything to be sorry about! I'm here for you! Here why don't I take you to your room. - He said lifting me of the floor-
I nodded my head and we started to walk. He had one arm around my waist and I had mine around his. I then directed him to my room and we sat in my bed. He laid me down and tucked me in. Then I drifted into a deep sleep.
The next morning I was woken up once again by my brother. He jumped in to the bed embracing me into a hug.
Zabdiel: Hey little sis! Wake up! -he said still hugging me-
Lizeth: Good morning! -I said with a light smile on my face-
Zabdiel: Hey Im sorry for not being there for you yesterday. I just thought that Joel can take you home since he offered and you could use some space away from me.
Lizeth: I don't need space way from you! You're my brother and my best friend. You're all I got! So never leave me. -I said punching him playfully in arm-
Zabdiel was my half brother and I always reminded him that no matter what happens he's my brother. My full brother. My mom also reminds him that just because our dad isn't in the picture and she's not his birth mom that she is his mom. His real mom by heart.
Lizeth: Now get off of me because I need to get in the shower!
I went to the bathroom, locked the door, turned the shower on waiting for it to get warm and took my clothes up. As I was showering I couldn't help but smile. The only though that came to my mind was Joel. I know it's weird that I am thinking of him in the shower but yesterday was great. Not the me crying my eyes out part but him doing what he did. He was a real friend. I could still feel his touch and how it felt to have hugged him. I just couldn't help but smile.
