Its been a while since Angel, Ez and I hung out. With everything, we barely got the time to saw hi. I hate to admit it, I miss them. I miss Angel's slow ass and Ez's smart ass. I decided to give them a call, see what's going on. The line kept buzzing and buzzing.

"Hey its Angel, you know what to do." Fucking voicemail, great.

"Uh hey!" I pinches my nose. "I just called to see how are you, its been a while. This is stupid, you're probably doing something. Bye." I hung up. My finger hovered over Ez's name, maybe he would answer.

"Hey," again, voicemail. "It's Ezekiel, leave a message." I sighed before the beep started.

"Its Marisol. I just called Angel but he didn't answer, I think you guys are busy or something. Maybe you're hanging with Gaby. Sorry I bothered you, I wont do it again, bye." As I hung up, I covered myself with the blankets. I wasn't feeling myself, I felt drained.

I haven't been like this since...since I was 13. I didn't want to move out of the bed, the bed felt like it was pulling me, wrapping itself around me so I wouldn't leave. Why was so welcoming and warm? I sunk in. My mind was filled with darkness, making me shut my eyes.

I woke up the next day, it was already 12pm. Did I really just slept the whole day? I forgot how draining it was. The sun hit my eyes as I lifted the blankets, it burned, making me blink repeatedly.

I reached out to the nightstand to get my phone, scrolling through the missed messages and notifications I got. One of them was from the group chat that Ez, Angel and I were in.

𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭. 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘰 𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘳. 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸.

That lifted my spirits up. I replied immediately and got a text from Angel saying he'll meet us there at 12:30. Let me tell you, i was finally happy. I got myself ready.

"Someone looks happy." Carla said as she walked to the kitchen, seeing me walk out of the room I was staying in.

"Ill be back in a few. Im just meeting Ez and Angel for lunch." I grabbed my bag and walked out. It was hot today, good thing I wore shorts. The ride to the diner was short, no traffic. No motorcycles in sight, they're probably on their way. I got a table for us.

"Can I get you started with something?" The waitress asked me.

"Can I get 3 lemonades please." I gave her a smile.

"Sure thing." She nods her head and leaves. I kept looking at the window to see if they were here and still nothing. The waitress came back with the drinks. "Anything to eat baby?"

"Uh I'mma wait for the others."

"You sure? I can get you something to start with."

"No its okay thanks, I can wait for them." She pats the table, assuring me and leaves. I checked my phone and still nothing. It was already 2.

"You want to get started honey?" She came back. They weren't coming.

"No, its okay." I gave up at this point. I placed 10 bucks on the table and stormed out of the diner. I texted them.

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱.

I tossed my phone in my bag and drove off. I headed into a liquor store, bought myself some vodka, and drove to the house.

"Hey! How was lunch?"

"They didn't show." I slammed the door to the room before Carla could saying anything. I kicked off my shoes, grabbed the bottle, tossing my bag to the ground and crawled into bed. I unscrewed the cap and started to drink. There was the familiar dark cloud over me. I became tired and the alcohol seemed to help me with the pain I had.

So many thoughts came in my head, so many voices overlapping,

Is there something wrong with me?

They weren't there, do they hate me?

They dont love me.

Why am I like this?

Without me knowing, the bottle was empty, the bottle hit the floor and and curled up into a ball and started thinking, what did I do wrong...

Reyes Brothers POV

The Reyes brothers were at the clubhouse, drinking and eating whatever they had on the table. They had forgot about the whole lunch thing with Marisol.

"Fuck." Ez swore as he looked at the text message Marisol sent an hour ago.

"What is it this time?" Angel took a sip of his drink. "Gaby wont let you hit it?"

"Marisol." Angel sets his glass down and sighs.

"Fuck." They knew that they're gonna get an ear full when they see each other. Ez started to notice that Marisol wasnt really herself. By now, She would've came to the club and said some shit.

"Do you think Marisol is okay?" He asks his older brother.

"I dont know, she's Marisol, she's always fine."

"Thats what im worried about. She's always fine."

"If it makes you feel better, we can stop by the house." Angel gets up and waits for his brother. Ez gets his kuttle and went to their bikes and rode to Cocos place. They parked in the drive way, no cars. They headed to the door and knocked. Letty opens the door.

"Letty, is Marisol home?" Letty shifted to the side.

"She wasn't been here. I just got home. I think she's at some guy named Andres place." Angel and Ez shared a look. Is Marisol cheating on Coco with the dude at the bar from the other day? It wasn't like her, she loves him and would never do such a thing. "Are we good? I need to sleep."

"If you see her, tell her to call us."

"Yeah, whatever." She slams the door.

"Andres? The one with the porn-stache at the bar?" Angel said as they made to the bikes.

"Do you know where he lives?"

"Does it look like I know? The girl hopes home to home, she barely talks to us."

"What is up your ass today?" Ez asked his older brother.

"Marisol needs to grow up, she needs to stop acting like a fucking baby. She needs to stop being so fucking sensitive." Angel gets on his bike, putting on his helmet. "She can't have us hold her hand every time she has a crisis."

My phone kept buzzing and buzzing. I didn't have the strength to reach out for it. My body was wrapped with blankets and was glued to the bed, staring at the window. There was a soft knock. I didn't even turn to see who it was.

"Hey." Andres said quietly. "I made dinner, I made you a plate." He saw I didn't move an inch, not even a twitch.

"Not hungry."

"Are you sure?"

"Go away." I whispered softly. Andres closes the door and shrugs at Carla.

"Shes still in bed?" He nods. Carla puts the plate down and looks at Andres, worried. She walks into the room where Marisol was staying in and climbs into bed with her. "Marisol? Marisol you alright?"

"Go away." She breathes out.

"Do you want me call Coco?" She rubs Marisols arm. Nothing. "Ez? Angel? Your dad?" Still no response. "Come on-"

"Just leave me alone." Carla understood, she knew that would happen. She gets out of the room, pushing Andres out. Carla tried calling Coco and no answer, Angel, nothing. Ez was the only one left.

"Hello?"

"Ez, hi this is Carla, Marisols friend, listen, I don't think Marisol is doing to well." She whispers as she paces around the room.

"Whats wrong?"

"I think she's, I don't know. She been in bed all day, hasn't moved. I tried calling Coco and Angel, but they didn't answer."

"Im on my way, just send me the address." Carla did what she was told and waited. Andres stood outside of Marisols door, checking up on her. They heard a bike pull up, and Carla swings the door open. Ez runs up and sees the two worried. Andres took Ez to see Marisol and saw the dark room. Ez walks up to her, kneeling down, stroking her hair back.

"Hey, you okay?" He whispers to his little sister who just had her eyes closed. "Come on, I saw that they got dinner ready, lets eat huh?" Ez was gentle on her. "Or I can take you to Angel's and we can go out to eat. How about a walk? We can get fresh air." There was no response. Ez was broken to see her like this, he didn't know what to do. "What can I do?"

"I'm just tired, leave me alone." Marisol covers herself with the blankets again, hiding her face. Ez kisses her head and steps out. He stood in front of Andres, who had his arms crossed and Carla who was sitting on the table.

"I really don't know what to do." Ez runs his hand over his face. "She isnt like this. When did it start?"

"Yesterday." Andres said to him. "She never came out of the room for anything. Not to eat or to go to the bathroom."

"This is new to you?"

"Maybe she is tired. Just give her some space. Hopefully she'll pull through." Carla didn't seem it was the right thing to do. "Imma call Angel and Coco to see if they experienced this before."

"Arent you gonna stay?" Andres asked as Ez was at the front door. Ez thought that he should, if anything happens.

"I'm going to make a couple of calls real quick." Ez closes the door as he was trying to reach Coco and Angel. Shocking, Angel picked up. "Something is wrong with Marisol."

"What now? She's probably crying wolf. It's probably her time of the month."

"Hey, dont be such a dick. She's our sister and she needs us."

"Whatever man, I got my own shit to handle, on my own, with nobodys help." He hangs up. Ez, mad, headed to Marisols room and stayed with her. He assured her that it's gonna be okay and slept on the floor.

"Imma be here okay? Want me to call Coco?" Ez tried to talk to her but Marisol wouldn't answer back. He was actually scared of what was happening but with her not saying anything, how can he help?
