8 Letters. Miguel Diaz

Chapter 24- messy parties

"Not really, why?" 
"I kinda got mad at her today and I've been trying to talk to her but she hasn't been responding." 
"Hmm, that's weird. Maybe she got grounded? Sam wouldn't just not respond if there wasn't a reason."  Bella tried to reassure.
Miguel hesitated to nod, but he did.
"Yeah, I guess."

The two kept talking.
That's all they've been doing.
The two burst into laughter every time either of them say anything funny.

But soon enough the group came out. "You guys ready?" Miguel asked.
Hawk held up the bottles of Vodka and beer with a smirk. "Let's party."

—-

The party was in full swing, music blasting people drinking and dancing.
There was so a lot people, and honestly, Bella didn't even know who most of them were.

On the other hand, Miguel kept checking his phone, getting more and more frustrated. Bella kept trying to reassure him but he just ignored it. Aisha came over to the group and gave Miguel a sympathetic look.
"Still nothing?"

"Nope." Miguel angrily said, shoving his phone into his pocket. "Maybe her phone died." Aisha reasoned, trying to reassure him. "Whatever. Let's just get the party started without her." Miguel stated, reaching over to the cooler.

He pulled out a beer and examined it before twisting the cap off and taking a big drink. He groaned in disgust, making Aisha and bella laugh.
Miguel shrugged before taking another big drink, finishing the beer. Bella looked at him worried, hoping he wouldn't drink too much. 

Night had fallen and Miguel had already downed two beers. Bella was getting more worried as he stumbled for another one, slurring his words when Aisha tried to talk to him.

Miguel took a swig of his third beer, staring into the fire. "Mig maybe you should stop," Bella said softly.

"I'm fine, mi amor." Miguel slurred out making Bella freeze. Miguel then kissed her forehead walking somewhere else.
Bella froze. She didn't know what to do. Miguel said that. He called her that.
She felt her face get hot.

She heard giggling and looked up to see Robby helping Sam walk down the hill. 
Bella cleared her throat and walked over to the two. "Hey, you two." She greeted.
"Hello love." Robby teased, letting go of Sam, to pull Bella into him. The girl giggled. Then hugged Sam, the three unaware of Miguel watching the whole time.

He stumbled over to three, his nostrils flaring. "Hey, hey." He greeted angrily, trying not to pay attention to Robby's arm around Bella's waist.

"Who's this guy?" Miguel slurred, stopping in front of Robby. 
"Wait is this your boyfriend? And your best friend?" Robby asked the two girls, pointing to Miguel. "Miguel, relax. This is Robby, he works with my dad." Sam replied noticing Miguel's anger, "Ok, he works with your dad ok. That makes a lot of sense." Miguel spat. 

"Miguel calm down," Bella softly said. She knew what he was thinking about. "What's that supposed to mean? Wait have you been drinking?" Sam asked, her voice full of hurt and worry.
"No, no, no, you don't get to throw this on me. I texted and called you all day and you couldn't answer me back once." 

"No, I literally couldn't. My mom- 
"Oh-" 
"-took my phone." 
"Oh, that's so convenient!"  He cut off getting more mad
