"Alma where are you?" Cesar asks.

I hold the phone closer to my ear.

"I don't think I'm goin-" I whisper before Latrelle interrupts me.

"Alma go" Latrelle whispers.

I really didn't want to go to a birthday picnic while my boyfriend was bleeding out infront of me.

"Go" He repeats.

I give him a look before responding to Cesar.

"I'll be there Cesar" I say before hanging up the call.

I had manged to stop the bleeding but he needed urgent care.

"I don't want to leave you" I whisper.

"Alma it's your birthday. Go be with your friends I'll be fine" Latrelle whispers.

"You need a hospital. Let me take you" I cry.

"I can't Alma" He whispers.

"I'm calling Jerome" I say wiping away my tears.

I quickly call Jerome and notify him about Latrelle.

"Okay your brother will be here in a few minutes" I stutter.

"Alma stop worrying" Latrelle whispers pulling me in close.

"How do i stop worrying when my boyfriend is dying in front of me?" I cry.

"I'll be fine" He whispers.

His voice was now faint. His skin was beginning to look pale. He was dying and I couldn't do anything to stop it.

"Oh god" I whisper wiping the sweat of his head with a towel.

"Alma go. Jerome will be here soon" Latrelle whispers pushing me away.

"But" I whisper.

"Go Alma" Latrelle snaps causing me to jump.

"Okay I'll go" I whisper stepping away.

I quickly throw on my dress and wipe away my tears.

I plant a kiss on his head before leaving.

I felt horrible leaving him there.

Horrible for leaving him to go to some stupid picnic.

"The birthday girl finally here" Monse squeals sitting me beside her.

I put on a fake smile as everyone greets me.

"What took you so long?" Ruby sighs lowering his sunglasses.

"I was busy" I whisper.

"Busy?" He laughs causing me to roll my eyes.

"Okay so what do you guys want to do?" Jamal asks.

They all look face me.

"I don't know. You guys planned this" I sigh knowing they did nothing at all.

"How about soccer?" Olivia asks.

"We don't have a ball" Ruby sighs.

"We could steal it off the little kid over there" Jamal smiles as he let's out his evil laugh.

"We're not stealing from a kid" Cesar sighs.

"You can't steal from a kid but you can join the santos" Monse mutters under her breath.

We all let out a giggle except for Cesar who didn't appreciate the joke.

"I'm sorry" Monse smiles pulling him into a deep kiss.
