Aria's POV

"Hey guys. Where's Alex." I asked, walking into the Alvarez apartment, noticing the whole family including Dr. B, but no Alex.

"Hey, Mom, can I go skydiving?" Alex asked, coming out of his room

"Never-mind. I found him." I added, sitting on the arm chair

"You're right, too dangerous. I'll just go to the concert Dylan invited me to instead." Alex continued, without letting his mom respond

"What concert?" I asked, never having heard of this plan.

Not that he has to tell me everything he does, but it was just weird. He glanced at me, but ignored what I asked.

"Yeah, nice try. Few questions. What concert is it? Where is it? Can I come? Oh, wait. You're not going." Penelope quickly ran through

"Please, Mom, it's Bud E. Fest, this really chill outdoor music festival." Alex begged

I laughed, "Alex, we both know- "

"Aria! Can you not please?" Alex snapped

"Sorry." I whispered and sunk into my seat, as everyone glanced between us for a moment

"No! You could get kidnapped, trampled, or molested." Penelope argued, still glancing at me in concern, before she continued with with her son

"You never let me do anything because you always think I'm gonna get molested." Alex groaned

"And have you ever been molested?" She asked

"No." He said

"You're welcome. Sorry, buddy, but you ain't going to Buddy Fest." Penelope decided

"Please, Mom. There will be tons of security. Plus, it's outdoors during the day. It's basically a church picnic." He argued

Penelope ignored him, making him argue even more, "Look. Come on, I'm 15. How old were you when you went to your first concert?"

"Seventeen. Lisa Lisa." Penelope smiled

"What are you talking about? Twenty three, and we saw Julio Iglesias." Lydia disagreed, making me smirk

"Mami, that's right. That Lisa Lisa thing was a crazy dream that I had that I snuck out to a concert, but really, I was home that night in bed, sleeping like two pillows under a blanket." Penelope covered up

"Well, I would never dream of sneaking out. That's why I'm asking you. Cause I'm a good kid... who tells his mother everything." Alex smiled

"If you want to go to a concert, why don't you come with us to the opera?" Lydia asked

"But I'm using the extra tickets." Elena said

"Oh, Yeah." Lydia said, disappointed
