"Oh really," I said squeezing his bicep.

"If it wasn't that we had to leave 20 minutes ago, I'd go for round 2 right now," he said slapping my ass which caused me to laugh.

"That is very unfortunate. Now isn't it?" I smirked.

"I'm down if you're down and I am most definitely down," he pounced on me.

"Sorry darling, I just did my hair and makeup again and I'm not trying to ruin it," I said patting his face. Not that I didn't consider it for a second there. The place was a good 40 minutes away from our hotel and that was without traffic. We ended up only being half an hour late which wasn't too bad considering that no one ever shows up to parties when they are told it is going to start.

"I missed you so much," I told Yoandri as he hugged me and we swayed from side to side.

"I missed you too," he said in his sweet little voice. "Texts and FaceTimes are never the same," he had moved to LA but, I had only gone down to see him once because it was back when I was on break from college and I worked almost every day to save up for medical school. Joel insisted that he would help me pay for it but, there was no way in hell I was going to let him do that. And even if I had accepted his offer, I worried that we would break up for whatever reason and my parents would feel obligated to take out loans in order for me to keep on going to school. But most of all, it would not have felt right taking the money that he worked for. I saw how hard he worked for this and I wasn't going to be the one to take it away from him just because he was willing to let me do so.

The whole night was amazing. It was great spending time with everyone, the music was the best and Joel couldn't seem to get his hands off of me. There was plenty of alcohol to go around because he was turning 21 after all. I had gone to parties and drank. I never got too bad. There were some parties I had blacked out and thrown up but, I liked to think I was responsible with it. My parents were okay with it as long as I didn't get too crazy. Joel never took more than a shot. 

I took plenty of tequila shots that night but, I learned that just as long as I did not mix my drinks, I would not throw up or blackout but, rather just laugh a lot. I was the type of drunk that loved to have a fun time and laugh a whole lot. I grinded on Joel a lot during the party because apparently, that's what drunk me loved to do. 

When the song ended, Joel pulled me to the side and sweetly cupped my face, "Are you good?" he said pushing my hair that was practically straight even though I had curled it before the party behind my ear. 

I nodded and I began to sway from side to side with my drink in the air. He laughed at me and kissed me on the cheek. "I'm going to go to the bathroom okay," 

"Okay," I shouted and danced my way over to Yoandri and Samantha. I was so happy that I didn't care that Emilia was also at that party. The three of us had danced for at least five more songs until I realized that Joel wasn't with us. I told them I need water and I left them dancing to Soltera by the one and only handsome Lunay. I walked over to the bar area and asked the guy for water. I clumsily sat in a booth, Yoandri had rented out an amazing venue that was a decent size that had a little vintage vibe going on. It had those neon light signs everywhere. I had made sure to get some good Instagram pictures before things got too crazy. 

I slipped my heels off and walked towards the bathroom not caring about how dirty my feet were probably going to be at the end of the night. I groaned as I realized how long the line for the girl's bathroom was. I eventually remembered that the venue also had a little hang out room for the host of the party. Yoandri had told Joel and me to leave our stuff in there. He had also mentioned that there was a bathroom in there. I typed in the pin on the padlock and the door instantly unlocked. I was pretty impressed with myself for remembering it. I dropped my heels on the couch and walked into the bathroom. I quickly peed and washed my hands. I stared at myself in the mirror and fanned myself. 

I heard the door unlock and I froze when I heard Joel's voice and then Emilia's. I came to the realization that this could be my chance to figure out what he was hiding from me. I stared at myself in the mirror and felt myself begin to sober up when I heard her start to cry. 

"Please don't cry," he said as she sniffled "your makeup is going to get ruined," I was hoping that he wasn't wiping her tears they way he did when I cried. It always so intimate and sweet when he did. I despised the idea that he was sharing those types of moments with any other person that wasn't me. 

"Don't touch me," she yelled. So he most definitely was trying to wipe her tears. Cute. I heard one of them sit on the couch. I squeezed my hands into fists when it hit me that I had put my heels on the couch. 

"I'm sorry," he said quietly. For what is what I needed to know. 

"Just let me talk," she said sniffling. This girl would not stop crying and it was stressing me out. 

"Okay," I already knew he was nibbling at his nails. 

"You walk around with her without a care," she said hiccuping. She was most definitely drunker than I was. 

"She's my girlfriend," he began but she cut him off. 

"No, I don't care. It kills me to see you with her. You don't get it. You are all I can think about every single second of the day," some bold statements this girl was making. I knew that she liked him and he denied it every time. He almost made me feel bad for always bringing it up. 

"I-"

"I told you to let me talk," she yelled. "You began all of it. You can't blame me for falling for you because this all your fault," there was silence for at least two minutes which sent my stomach into knots. 

"I would take it back if I could," he said. 

"That's the thing, I don't want you to take it back," she laughed. 

"I'm sorry," he was frustrating me with all his dumb apologies. 

"You were the one who leaned in to kiss me," and at that moment is when everything in me just shattered. 

"I was drunk and I missed Isabella. I'm sorry I dragged you into all of it. We were fighting and I was lonely. I love her so much though. I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you," I could care less that he was saying that he loved me. He kissed her. He actually cheated on me. I was so in shock that I could not even cry. I swung that door open so hard it bounced on the wall and the handle later caused a bruise on my arm. 

I stared at Joel who I had never seen so shocked and scared at the same time. I pushed past him in efforts of trying to get to my heels. He grabbed me by the waist, "DO NOT TOUCH ME," I screamed pushing his hands off of me but, he wouldn't let go. 

"I can explain," 

"I don't want to hear it right now," I hissed shutting my eyes tight. I made eye contact with Emilia whose pupils were dilated so much you could barely tell that she had light-colored eyes. I walked over to her end of the couch and yanked my heels that she was half-sitting on. "Girl move," I said a little too loudly. 

"Not my fault your boyfriend isn't faithful," she slurred. 

"Oh please bitch, he flat out rejected you just now. But, if you want him that badly you keep him," I laughed with so much anger. 

"Isa," Joel said pulling me back. 

"Do not touch me," I said trying to loosen his grip on me. "You and I are done," I said looking him in the eyes. "he's all yours now," I exclaimed and grabbed my purse and slammed the door shut. 

CNCO FREAKING KILLED THE PERFORMANCE. JOEL FINALLY SAID PETTINESS INSTEAD OF PRIDEFULLNES. AND THE LITTLE CLIPS FROM CHRISTOPHER'S LA BANDA PERFORMANCE PLEASEEE MY HEART. I AM SO PROUD OF THEM.
