Rebel at Heart [Completed]

43- Unbearable Guests

MARIO CASAS as Leonardo Torres

The sunlight comes through the window waking me up. I have no intention of getting out of the bed but I force myself to. If I stay in bed too long, I probably start feeling depressed again.I haven't been myself lately and I need to find a way to get me back.

I make my way to the bathroom and lay down in the bathtub listening to music. When I come out, a lady named Alicia knocks my door before walking in with a tray full of food.

-Just leave it in that table, thanks- I tell her

As much as I hate being here, no one except one person is responsible, George/ my despicable father for my discomfort.

When I finish eating I come out of my room and to the principal door.

-Where are you going?- George comes out of his room

-Out- I remove my earphones to answer him

-You can't, some friends are coming to meet you for lunch and you have to be there- He says

-Sorry Sr., but I don't feel like it- I respond

-Well, too bad, until you turn 18 you have to do what your parents say- He says

-You know it's next month right?- I tell him

-I know, until then you have to listen to me, so come back in- He says and I walk inside

-Enjoy it while you can... Because as soon as I turn 18, I'm running out of here- I direct myself to my bedroom again

I wait there for a few minutes before I looking out my balcony. The apartment is located in the 10th floor, so jumping is obviously not a good option, but crossing over to the apartment next to this one is more realistic. I prepare myself to jump from one balcony to another, there is space between the two but it isn't that big. Once I'm in the other balcony, I knock the neighbor's door and she opens but too startled to say anything.

-Thanks!!!- I quickly say before running to the the front door

I make my way out of the building and find in the GPS of my phone the closest park. Once I find it, I seat in a bank and plug my earphones on. I see people staring as soon as I start singing, not that I really care since I don't plan to see any of these people in the near future.

-Did you think that I would let you crawl right back into my bedroom after everything we've been through, I know the truth, that damn, you're such a difficult little Devil trying to put it back toge... - I begin singing but suddenly my battery dies

-No, no, no!!!- I shake my phone like that would do something

I don't know my way back, the only solution is to ask something but I know from little to no español at all. I look around and find a guy crouched taking pictures around the park. I walk in his direction and stop right in front of him.

-Excuse me? Do you speak English?... Ingles- I try to remember a few words from the Spanish class

-No, lo siento... ¿necesitas algo? (No, I'm sorry... Do you need anything?)- He stands up

-Great! I don't speak Spanish and he doesn't speak English, how am I going to communicate with him? I don't even know how to say building in Spanish, well I still need a landmark, imagine how many building are here in Madrid - I begin taking to myself

-¿Estas bien, tia?( Are you okay?)- He chuckles

-I remember now, there is a big fountain in front of the building, if I tell him about it and that is close by, he might know where it is. But I don't know how to say that... I can ask him for his phone and type it in the translator- I stop talking to myself and show him my dead phone pointing at him
