CHAPTER 16
NARRATIVE

Hector and I both sat in my car after I bailed him out, I had no words. What about his buddies, couldn't he call them? Why me?

"So are you going to start the car or?" He asks innocently with no harm intended but me being annoyed, tired physically and emotionally I death glare at him.

"Just tell me where you are staying." I state blankly distancing myself from him. Don't know why I am tired emotionally, but it might stem from the fact Mattia is confusing me.

"What's up with you? You weren't the one in jail. Is this because of that one night? I said I was sorry, I panicked." He explains but I roll my eyes.

"So you want me to drop you wherever?" I question, disregarding the last thing he said.

"You got my address in your phone, damn." He answers with the same tone I've been giving him, so I don't know why it bothered me.

I start to feel myself calm down and I pass Hector a warm small smile, meaning I was tired of acting that way. Before I knew it we were back at his place.

"So I saw your buddy Mattia on tiktok, he wild." Hector chuckles and I nod not really in the mood to think or talk about Mattia.

"Yeah the gang made a bet to see who'd get clout first, not surprised it's Mattia though." I state with a shrug as I watch the road.

Finally pulling up to his place on a dark, lowkey scary street I wait for him to get out. But he sits there like we still moving or some.

"I-well- I know our past but i really want to kiss you right now." He struggles to say, and I look away. Why did he always have to do stuff like this?

"Hector please, I like someone else now." I reply with a tiny lie after taking a deep breath. I didn't necessarily know who I liked or if I liked anyone it's all confusing.

He shrugs and closes the door behind him, I watch as he walks away defeated. I've never rejected him before, I kind of feel good about it too.

I couldn't fall asleep at all last night, I spent maybe a good two hours thinking about the three boys I might like. Hector and I had history, do I really want to continue it? Mattia made a move on me, do I really like him back or? What if Alejandro doesn't like me though, and I pick the wrong guy?

I hadn't even looked in the mirror and I could already see my eye bags, at least it's Saturday and I could nap. I fall off my bed when I hear someone barge into my room, we both laugh.

"What are you doing here?" I ask as I stand with arms folded across my chest. I didn't like people seeing me in pajamas but at this point I really didn't have a choice.

"How late did you stay up?" Alejandro questions, disregarding mine and taking note of my eye bags.

"I don't even know to be honest I swear I saw the sun coming up though." I chuckle as I sit criss cross on my bed.

"Well whats the plan for today?" Alejandro asks curiously with a chuckle.

"Well I never invited you over so this is a good opportunity to make you watch a cringy basic romcom with me." I tease and he shakes his head violently.
