Part 9- Heart Broken

I look arround me and study the interior of the bar that the legends wanted to take me to. It was a really nice bar, all things considered.

They all pile into a booth, and I end up sitting next to Caustic and Octane. I was actually surprised that Caustic agreed to come with us, but hey, beer is beer.

"One round on me, honoring the victory of our new friend!" Elliott cheers, Caustic smiled and looked at me.

"Once he is drunk, he buys us all drinks. Thats usually the only reason I come." He says with a chuckle. I laugh and Octavio clears his throat.

"Hey, amiga, how did it feel to win?" He asks. Is that a hint of jealousy I taste?

Caustic looks down and sighs.

"Gotta admit, I wasnt expecting that one." Caustic says with a smile.

I chuckle. "It did feel good to win, especially on my first game. That was pretty cool."

As the night goes on, we continue to drink, and we become rowdy. At one point, Caustic was scream singing an anime opening as we all laughed our asses off.

We ended up getting kicked out of the bar when Ajay tried to do a cartwheel and broke a glass. She felt really bad but we all just laughed about it.

"I'm sooo sorry guys." She says with a frown.

"None needed. We all had enough anyway." I say while patting her back.

I honestly had less than the others. My alchohal tolerance was much less than theirs and I didnt want to overdo it.

"Dont worry about it. We probably overdid it anyway." I say.

Octavio throws his arm around my shoulders.

"Hey, chica, about that date of ours, meet me there tomorrow at 12." My skin tingles and I smile.

"You got it!" I say as the others stare in awe.

"Y'all are together?!" Ajay yells, looking at us with wide eyes.

"It's just a date, but I guess..." I say, my face flushed in embarrassment.

Ajay nudges Gibraltar and he hands her twenty units.

My face goes red and I bite my lip. Was it really obvious? I guess it was.

"Well, I'm going to go home. I will see you all tomorrow." I say while I break off of the group.

I head back to my apartment and plop myself onto my bed. I was drowsy but I didn't really want to sleep yet. I get up and head into the kitchen. It seemed pretty nice. I didnt have much food, but I did have a few snacks.

I grab Teddy Grahms and go turn on the TV.

The Apex channel had the game broadcasting. I decide to watch that. It was toards the end of the game and I was watching my battle with Caustic.

I laugh as I see myself kick his balls.

"Fucking weeb." I say with a laugh. The phone on the table beside me begins to ring.

I turn the volume to the TV down and I pick up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey sweetheart. Its dad." I hear. He sounds like he had been crying.

"Hey dad! How is everything! I was actually going to call in the morning."

"I'm not going to sugarcoat things sweetie, things are pretty bad."

"W- Whats wrong? Is mom okay?" I say with a trembling voice. My hands are shaking and my mind was racing."

"I... Well sweetheart... Your mother died this morning at 10:34." He says. My heart drops to my stomach and my eyes burn, tears forming.

"Mom... Is gone?" I say. I couldnt hold my tears any longer. They spill over my face as I sob, and I couldnt see three feet infront of me.

"I know, we are going to miss her, but she is in a better place now. She is happier now." He says. I can hear the pain in his voice.

"Thank you for telling me dad, but I have to go." I say before quickly hanging up the phone.

I hug my knees and sob into them. I cant beleive she is gone! I tried so hard, and she was going to get better! She would have lived, I know it! My eyes burn and I take out my phone. I go to Ovtavio's contact.

'Hey. Can you come over in ths morning? Its serious.'

As I wait for him to reply, I go through all the old memories I have of my mother before she was sick. Before she couldn't do physical activity without collapsing.

'Yeah, sure amiga. What is wrong?' -octavio

'Its my mother. She is gone.'

I feel my phone start to vibrate and I look down to see Octavio calling me. I pick up and try to sound like I hadn't been crying.

"Hey amiga. Dont worry, I'm coming over. It Will all be alright, I promise." He says.

"I said in the morning Octavio. You need sleep." I say back. He shouldnt put me before his own needs.

"No amiga, I'm on my way now, you need to talk, and I'm going to be there for you." He says. That makes me a bit happier. The butterflies in my stomach return slightly, but are quickly overwhelmed by sadness.

"I really appreciate that." I say quietly. I was afraid that if my voice was higher than a whisper that I would start crying even harder.

"Its no problem. I'm almost there, alright? I'll be like, five more minutes." He says. He makes me stay on the phone with him the whole time and he tried to distract me from my mother.

I hear a knock on the door. Knowing it was Octavio, I open it and hang up my phone. He pulls me in to a huge hug and I let myself cry into his shoulder.

"Shh, its going to be alright." He soothes. His god damn voice is so hot.

He picks me up and sets me in bed, laying down next to me.

"Go to sleep. You need it." He says.

I nod and we are under the blankets. Hugs me from behind and I cuddle myself into him.

Gradually, I fall asleep.
