I woke up to my phone ringing. I groaned annoyed. Who could be calling me, I looked at the clock, at 3:30 am? I didn't recognize the number. Only thing I recognized was the area code. Mom's hometown.

I picked up the phone.

"Hello?" My voice groggy.

"Hello?" I shot up hearing Raul's voice. Shit. He got the letter. "¿Es eso en serio todo lo que tienes que decir ahora mismo? Un maldito hola. ¿Qué demonios es esto? Esta carta de mierda que dice que terminaste. Que conociste a otra persona. No puedes romper conmigo de esa manera."

Is that seriously all you have to say right now? A damn hello. What the hell is this? This shitty letter that says you're done. That you met someone else. You can't break up with me like that.

"Raúl, las cosas cambian. No puedo controlar lo que siento por ti o por... ella."

Raúl, things change. I can't control how I feel about you or... her

"Ella. ¿Qué diablos quieres decir con ella? ¿En serio me estás diciendo que estás rompiendo conmigo por una maldita chica?"

Her. What the hell do you mean by her? Are you seriously telling me that you're breaking up with me over a damn girl?

"No lo entenderías. ni siquiera intentarás entender. Si todo lo que vas a hacer es gritar, no deberías haber llamado. No cambiará nada. Ya no somos novios."

You would not understand. You won't even try to understand. If all you're going to do is scream, you shouldn't have called. It won't change anything. We are no longer dating.

"no. no puedes romper conmigo por una carta estúpida. Voy a verte. si vas a romper conmigo, vas a romper conmigo en persona."

no. You can't break up with me over a stupid letter I'm going to see you. if you're gonna break up with me, you're gonna break up with me in person

He hung up before I could say anything else. I groaned frustrated. Why did he have to do this?

I got out of bed put on my slippers and a hoodie. I walked down the hall to Penelope's room and gently knock on the door. I didn't want to wake her but I also knew I wasn't going to be able to fall back asleep.

It had been a couple minute and still no answer so I turned to go back to my room. I'd talk to her in the morning. She should sleep.

I walked a few step only to hear Penelope's door open behind me. I turned back around to see Penelope rubbing the sleep out of her eyes looking a little confused.

"Babygirl? What are you doing out here?" She grabbed my hand and pulled me into her room. "¿Qué ocurre?" She asked worriedly. "Podrías haber entrado. Lo sabes."

What happen? You could have walked in. You know.

I felt my eyes well up for some reason. I knew she would have wanted me to come in and just crawl into bed with her. She knew I liked to sleep by her when I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep anymore.
