LUCAS

2 WEEKS LATER

"Start the car!"

"What?"

"START THE DAMN CAR LUCAS!"

"Xavier ¿a dónde diablos vas? ¡No dejes así a tu hermana semanas antes de su quinceañera!" Xavier's mom yelled as he was running.

"¡Lo siento mamá! Lucas me necesita y podría volverme loco si me quedo ahí un segundo más." He yelled back as he got near the car.

I started the car and then heard my passenger door slam. "GO!"

I immediately slammed on the gas and rode off.

You're probably wondering how I ended up here right?

20 MINUTES EARLIER

Lucas I need you to come over right now! Don't come to the door just stay outside the house and be ready to leave when you see me running.

What? Xavier!

Lucas hurry!

I grabbed my keys and ran out the door. What did I get myself into?

I pulled up to Xavier's house and stayed outside like he said. I didn't see him anywhere. Soon enough the front door swung open and out came running a scared for his life Xavier.

"Start the car!"

"What?"

"START THE DAMN CAR LUCAS!"

"Xavier ¿a dónde diablos vas? ¡No dejes así a tu hermana semanas antes de su quinceañera!" Xavier's mom yelled as he was running.

"¡Lo siento mamá! Lucas me necesita y podría volverme loco si me quedo ahí un segundo más." He yelled back as he got near the car.

I started the car and then heard my passenger door slam. "GO!"

I immediately slammed on the gas and rode off.

He let out a deep breath and then laid back in the seat.

"Uhhh...are you okay?"

"No not really but I may need to stay with you for a couple of days...okay weeks."

"Yeah sure man."

"I'm sorry but I can't. No puedo soportarlo más me vuelven loco."

"What's going on?"

"Welcome to quinceañera prep 101. Everything in there is hectic."

"I can't be that bad."

He turned to stare at me for a bit. "Trust me when I say it is. By the way, can we stop to get some food before we go back to your place?"

"Yeah, sure. But my Mom wants me to come back home for a couple of weeks so I've been staying there instead of my apartment."

"Anywhere is fine as long as it's not my place."

"Is it really that bad?"

"Worse couple of weeks of my life. It's a miracle I survived."

This should be...interesting?

•••

We finally made it back to my house and of course, as soon as we walked in my parents were arguing.

This is exactly why I don't like staying here.

We went up to the game area and stayed up there for a good bit. Everything else around this house felt like a TV set.
