We are at Parker's snack bar, and I leaned on Lisa who is busy talking to an old friend of hers. I looked at James and saw that he wanted to talk with Chris, but is getting dragged with his other friends. Florez turned the music loud and people are standing on tables with beer bottles in their hand.

I pecked Lisa's neck as I couldn't reach her cheek. she held me tighter but her focus is still on her friend. Florez came to us with more drinks and sat down next to Lisa's friend.

" How is Rhon doing?" The friend asked her. Lisa sighed.

" He is saying that he will be gone soon," She said.

" But he still wants to see you two, before he dies," She said after it.

" I will visit on Sunday," Florez said.

" I will also ask my mom when we can visit him," The friend said and Lisa nodded her head, taking a sip of her drink

" It's rude of me to not introduce myself to your girlfriend," he said looking at me.

" Hello, My name is Gabriel, and I lived in the apartment building with Lisa," He said calmly.

" Hello, I am Lara, Lisa's girlfriend," I said smiling at him.

" but the real thing is what are you doing here?" Lisa asked Gabriel.

" My mom got a new boyfriend and is having sex with him all day," He said taking a shot.

" Another brother or sister?" Lisa asked him. He nodded his head.

" I drove to the apartment and saw Rina, I asked her if you were home, but you weren't so I drove here and then saw you," He said, taking another shot.

" I heard from Julian that you thought Luuk was livi-"

" No, he is not, I was just being paranoid," She said fast. taking a shot.

" Is it okay if I will come by tomorrow?" Gabriel asked Lisa.

" Yes and come with the monkey," She said. He nodded his head.

" do you have a monkey?" I asked him and shook his head.

" No, it's a... name...Huh Sorry but I am too drunk to answer that," He said laughing looking at Lisa.

" Lisa, what do you mean by the monkey?" I asked her

" Nothing," She said eating her fries.

" Lisa~," I said knowing it's something she keeps as a secret.

" It's nothing you should be worried about, just go and have fun with your family," She said. My parents are home now and are planning to go and have a lot of activities with the whole fam.

"..." I got silent and closed my eyes. you do get tired of that but I also know that I am a little sad because I won't get to spend time with her on the weekends.

" So you don't tell her a lot of things huh?" I heard Florez say to Lisa.

" She knows things," Lisa said.

" Does she know you have-"

" Yes she knows," She said cutting Gabriel off

" But I will come tomorrow with the monkey," Gabriel said.

" We should talk about it with Rhon tho," Lisa said.

" And the rest, because if we go up there without them knowing, and the floors will fall down, we maybe need to move away," Lisa said.

I opened my eyes and saw Florez looking at me. he smirked and then ignored me talking further.

" Your girlfriend is awake," Gabriel said. Lisa looked at me.

" So you will go up there and I don't need to worry about it?" I said and I saw that she was trying to find another reason.

" it's my bedtime I need to go," Gabriel said.

" Yes and I will work at my office," Florez said and they both walked away.

Lisa pov

I rubbed my head feeling stupid.

" Lisa talk to me!" Lara said.

" Wait I need a good reason," I said closing my eyes.

" Why won't you tell me things?" She asked me sadly.

"...As I said I have a lot of secrets, and I don't want you to worry about me," I said. She sat up straight out of my arms and looked in front of her.

You messed up Lisa

" Just tell me because I know you are still gonna do it," She said.

" If I tell you my secrets, you will break up with me," I said.

" I let you take my virginity, and you say I will break up with you?" She said mad.

" I am more scared of you breaking up with me than dying," I said being honest.

"...." She got silent looking down.

" Lisa, If you go up those floors..." She said still looking down.

" I won't go up those floors," I said already being scared.

" tell me what the monkey is?" She asked me.

" ( Sigh)... " I didn't talk.

She was about to get up But I held her arm.

" The monkey, Is... a gun," I said. She sat down and looked at me.

" I am not going to kill someone, and I will not use it," I said. She looked at me.

" it's a gun we use to shoot on the stairs above, so it will be harder to step on, " I said.

" and maybe we can't even do it," I said hoping that she will sit down.

" We need to ask permission from the others, and the last time they said no," I said. She sat down and I sighed out of relief.

" I wanna go home?" She said with a shaky breath.

Fine now you make her cry, Lisa

" I don't have a car with me," I said.

" go with me to the family activities," She said. and I shook my head.

" Florez, can you lend me your car?" I asked him. He nodded his head and walked away.

He came back and gave the car keys. I got her and my bag and we walked towards his car.

We both got in, but I didn't start the car.

" Are you mad at me?" I asked her. She looked out of her window, and I could hear her sniff.

" Lara?" I said touching her shoulder. and here it was. she broke down crying.

I didn't know what to do. I could hug her but she would push me away.

" I-I," She couldn't talk. I placed her on my lap and she wrapped her arms around my neck.

I let her cry, on my shoulder.

oooohhh~~
