"Yo Damian you wouldn't believe what I'm going to tell you. I mean I always knew that he was that type of person but I never thought he would go back to his old habits that quick.
This is madness." I hear Domenic say to Damian while I was passing through his door.

Who is he talking about? Maybe he's talking about someone that I know.
Let's find out. I say as I hide behind Domenic's bedroom door to hear what they're saying.

"So as you know yesterday I was at this party because this girl I'm dating with was there."

"Yeah, you told me that before.
Soo?" Damian asks.

"The party where she was at was her friend's house and guess who that friend is."

"Ermm... I don't know. Someone's we know maybe?"

"Yep. And that someone is our sisters' ex-boyfriend.
Bryan." Domenic explains.

He was throwing a party at his house? Why?

"And you wanna know the best part? While I was making out with my girlfriend in one of the rooms he walked in with a girl in his arms and as I was leaving I heard him asking that girl if she was up for a threesome with a girl named Ivy or something.
Can you believe that?" Domenic says laughing a little making my heart sink.

No that's not possible. Bryan wouldn't do that, wouldn't he? I mean I thought he hated Ivy.
"Domenic is that true? You're not saying these things just to make me sad right?" I ask him as I open the door furiously.

"Why do you care? Go look after your dear perfect husband Armando." He says sarcastically as he lays on the bed next to Damian with his hands behind his head.

"Answer me damn it! I just asked you a simple question and you always find another topic to bring up into the conversation." I say angrily.

"Why are you yelling at the first time? You know that I'm saying the truth and you just don't want to admit it so you keep asking questions." He answers in a calm tone while he fixes the pillow under his head.

"You know what? You and he can go to hell! I'm tired of you anyway."

"Mia... I think you're overreacting a little bit, don't you think?" Damian says as he gets up.

"Overreacting!? I just asked him a simple question. He could just say yes or no!" I reply to him.

"Yes, Mia! You just asked him a question that you shouldn't even ask." He says and for a moment I realize that he's right.
They're right.
I don't have the right to ask questions about him anymore.

"Whatever." I reply simply as I turn around and walk away to my room.
As soon as I reach to my room I lock the door then I lay on my bed shoving my face on the pillow so I can scream and no one can hear me.

After I'm done I roll over on my back looking at the wall.

"Hhh... look how fast father replaced us baby. I didn't wait for him to do it this fast but what else could have happened? He's a bad boy after all. A very handsome bad boy.
He's that type of bad boy that stole your mother's heart from the moment she first saw him and she didn't even realize that." I say while I rub my belly.

"Mia!?" I hear someone say while knocking on the door.

"What? Who is it?" I ask as I slowly get up from the bed.

"It's me, Armando. We have to talk about something important." He says and I open the door for him to enter.

"Ermm... hey. How are you?" He asks nervously.

"I'm fine. No need to worry about me." I reply as I walk towards the balcony.

"Oh, okay." He replies simply.

"What did you wanted to talk about?" I ask him.

"Ermm... I don't know how to say this but it's time for me to go back to New York." He says.

"And why are you telling me this?"

"Well, we have to go there together since we're married. I can't go there without you." He says and I immediately turn around to look at him.

"What!? I can't go to New York! We didn't agree about this. I can't leave my family here." I say.

"About that... I already talked with your mother and since your brothers work there she agreed to move to New York." He explains.

"Wow. Since you and my mother have arranged everything there's no need to ask me. I'm just an old bag that can be carried away everywhere.
Right?" I say as I open the balcony door and walk outside.

"Of course there is Mia. I can't make you come there with me if you don't want to. Even if your mother says that you can.
Your opinion will always matter to me Mia." Armando says as he gently touches my shoulder.

"Whatever." I reply rolling my eyes.

"Soo... is that a yes?" He asks smiling.

"Maybe?" I reply simply without looking at him.

"Oh come on Mrs. Gonzales.
New York could be a cool city sometimes." He says chuckling.

"That's not funny." I reply smiling a little.

"I think it is since I made the «Ice Queen» smile after all these days." He says proudly.

"I'm not an Ice Queen!"

"Really?" He asks raising one eyebrow at me.

"Maybe I am just a little bit.
So what?" I ask.

"What!? Did I hear this right? The Ice Queen just said I was right. I have to write this on my calendar." He says making a shocked face and I start laughing at him.

"I wish that this smile of yours lasts forever. I'll do anything just to see you smile one more time because no one deserves your tears.
Not even me." He says in a low voice while looking into my eyes as he moves towards me but I back up.

"Ermm... thanks." I reply simply as I walk inside to avoid him.

"I'll... I'll see you later then." He says nervously while trying to fix his hair.

"Okay." I reply simply and he starts to walk away closing the bedroom door behind him.

Damn it, Mia! Stop talking to him!
He will think that you like him or something when someone else already rules your heart.
I mean... he looks like a good person and after a while maybe we can be friends but that's it. We can be nothing more than that and soon enough he'll understand that too. I'll make sure about that.

Bryan was my first love and will also be the last even though I can't tell him this and I wish with all my heart that he would find happiness someday.

"Hey? Is everything okay between you and Armando because I just saw him and he looked a little bit sad?" Damian asks as soon as he walks inside my room.

Here we go again with this Armando thing.

"Why does everyone keep asking about me about him? Why does everyone care what happens between us!? Just drop it! I don't give a fuck about anyone or this little thing you all call marriage!" I say shouting.

I'm pissed and tired at the same time because everyone just keeps pushing me harder and harder into this «grave» I did it to myself. It's not fair because I didn't want to do all these things but my mother left me without a choice.

"Jeez... Mia!
Relax. What's wrong with you? Why do you keep yelling even at simple questions? If you don't want to answer then don't.
No need to yell." Damian says as he turns around to walk away.

"Wait!
I didn't mean that Damian. I'm sorry." I say to him and he turns around looking at me.

"Look, Mia. I don't know what happened between you and Bryan or what pushed you to marry Armando but I can see it in your eyes that you don't love him not even half as much as you loved Bryan. You say that everything is over between you and him but you're just lying to yourself Mia because deep down inside of you, you still love Bryan."

"The connection between you two is something so pure and innocent that no one can ever understand it because he was always there for you when no one else was, and when no one else thought that you needed somebody Mia.
Yes. I understand that he did some bad things and he doesn't deserve your forgiveness or your kindness but he deserves your love Mia because he was there.
He was there when things were tough for either of you. You told us this Mia and now all you can say is that you don't care about him anymore and now you expect me to believe this after everything that I have seen." Damian says and I just look at him because I always knew that sooner or later we're gonna talk about this and all that he said is true and I can't do anything about it.

"Whatever Damian." I reply simply without looking at him because if I do I may end up crying and then he won't leave me alone until I tell him everything.

"Stop trying to avoid me, Mia. I'm serious.
I mean what happened to you? We used to talk about everything with each other and now you just keep avoiding me.
This isn't you Mia." He says and I just stare at him.

"So you're not gonna tell me anything aren't you?" He asks.

"Okay then. I'll find everything out myself.
You know I will. Even if you're not gonna spill the beans for me, sis." Damian says as he walks outside my room closing the door behind.

I know he will find out everything sooner or later about my marriage but I'll do anything to hide the truth about my baby to him and to everyone because from what I heard him say earlier, it looks like that Damian kind of likes Bryan a little and he would tell him about the baby.
Hmm... I guess it's better if I go to New York with Armando and start a new life for the sake of my baby because she or he deserves everything and I'll do anything for him or her to not miss Bryan even though I'm not sure how I'm gonna do that.
