I think that the song Enough and the events leading up to it are really underratted. This is my interpritation of what happens before hand.

Chapter 1

Dinner

Dinner at the Rosario's house. Such a joyous occasion. Everyone was so intent on celebrating Nina in her huge accomplishments at college. It seemed like the whole barrio had come to the fiesta. Nina was there (obviously) as were her parents and Abuela Claudia, Vanessa, Usnavi, and Benny. Benny was the only one who really mattered to Nina. Over this winter break, time and time again she had found herself running back to Benny, sweet Benny. Even when she got mad he would comfort him and remind her of just why she had come running to him in the first place. Nina was so excited to go to the club with him; after all of these years of silent crush and gentle friendships, she was ready to know him on a deeper level. However, She knew that between her and this love she so longed for was the talk to her parents. Everyone looked so cheerful at one table. They were so happy for her, how could she tell them that she had dropped out?

After everyone had finally finished eating, she knew that it was time to tell them. She took a deep breath and stood up from that table. "I dropped out of college" she murmured. "WHAT!?" Both of her parents screamed. They seemed to think that they were dreaming. Just waiting for her to tell them that it was just a joke, just some little thing which she was doing to mess with them. Nina couldn't say that. She couldn't lie. "Nina! We have always been here for you! You know we would have helped to pay for the rest of college"

"I'm sorry, but I had to work two jobs. I didn't have enough time to study, not enough times to work on my homework, and eventually the scholarships expired once my grades got to a certain point."

Usnavi shot a look at Vanessa who nodded "Uh... maybe we should leave now... let you guys work this out." Usnavi said

"Maybe you should," Nina murmured as they stepped out of the door arms wrapped around each other.

"We will support you Nina. No matter what," Camilla said

"We will have to sell the dispatch, but we will." Kevin agreed.

"But... will that put me out of a job?" Benny asked starting to feel his heart race. Out of a job? Not Benny

"I'm sorry Benny but we must for our dear Nina"

Benny raced out of the door uncertain of where he was heading but he was sure he must be out of there.

Nina saw Benny leave and ran out to find him. She ran after him until he finally stopped and stepped inside the club. She followed him, uncertain of what to do but certain that she couldn't let a deep love like that go.
