Hey guys. Sorry I missed a day. I was busy on Friday night and didn't have time to write the chapter, than forgot about it until Midnight, so here is the second to last chapter of this story. I have other ideas, don't worry. So, ENJOY!!!!

It's been a week since Hector and Lisa have been together. They both were enjoying each other's company a lot. But something was bothering Hector that he was meaning to tell Lisa, but just never got to it. He figured she should know sooner or later, but just couldn't find a good time to tell her. Hector figured that their Valentine's Day get together would be a good time. Lisa was coming over to watch Starstruck on Disney Channel. He knew she wanted to see it, so he thought it would be a thing to do together.

Lisa was going to come over at 6. They were going to have take-out for diner, then watch Starstruk at 8. He hoped that it would be their first successful date. The first one went well, until the whole "Hector kiss Lisa" thing. And the second one kind of…….got left in the air. He hoped nothing could ruin this one, and just to be safe, Hector closed all curtains and put something in every window in the whole house. Jessica found out the hard way.

"Ouch," came Jessica's voice from down the hall.

Hector walked down the hall and saw Jessica on the floor of her bedroom.

"You okay sis?" he asked.

"No, why are my windows blocked?"

"It's for my get together with Lisa tonight."

Jessica gave him a strange look.

"NOT in the way you think. I just don't want Francine videotaping it and twisting and editing it so that the whole neighborhood is against us."

Jessica sighed.

"Good because I got worried for a moment," said Jessica.

Hector laughed as Jessica walked out of her room.

"I'll be with Keith tonight," said Jessica, "so the apartment is yours."

"You seem to be hanging out with Keith a lot," said Hector. "Any certain reason why?"

Jessica froze, then started stutter while speaking.

"Well, y-you k-know-wn, h-he's my fr-friend and is f-fun to be ar-arou-around."

Hector looked at Jessica.

"Jess is there something that you want to tell me?"

Jessica sighed.

"Okay, Keith asked me out tonight."

"And you're going…."

"Yeah."

"Because you like him," said Hector.

Jessica looked down at her feet. Hector smiled.

"Hey Jess, it's okay. Keith's a really cool guy. You'll have fun."

"Thanks Hector," said Jessica, then she walked out of the apartment.

"See you later," she called behind her.

Hector was alone at his house. Now all he had to do was waiting for Lisa to show up.

Lisa showed up at precisely 6 'o clock. Hector opened the door and saw Lisa there, dressed as she usually is, but all in red, pink, and white.

"Hey Lisa," said Hector.

"Hey Hector," said Lisa as she stepped in. "What's with the boards over all the windows?"

"Oh umm, just in case Francine was going to film us and make a vlog out of it."

"Smart thinking," said Lisa. "If it gets out of the Electric Company that we are dating, then the Pranksters will do anything to breaks us apart again."

"Yeah," said Hector, "well I hope you like The International House of Noodles."

Lisa's face went into surprise mode.

"You got noodles from the International House of Noodles?" asked Lisa.

"Yup," said Hector, taking the noodle cartons out of the bag. "I know you like that place a lot, so I thought that would be a good place to get take-out from."

"Well you thought correctly," said Lisa. "Thanks Hector."

The two ate their noodles and talked about their lives. Hector talked about the Community College and Lisa talked about her plan to find Manny Spamboni's stock of prank merchandise and burn it in a bon fire. Hector laughed at that.

When they were both done, Hector and Lisa cleared their dishes and went into the family room. Hector got out a blanket and sat him and Lisa on the couch. Hector was sitting with Lisa's head on his shoulders and body very closely. Hector put his arm around Lisa as he turned on the TV. The Disney Channel popped up.

"Do you think this is going to be any good?" asked Hector.

"I just hope it's better than Princess Protection Program."

"Right," said Hector, having no idea what Lisa was talking about.

The watched the movie until it was over. When it was, Hector turned off the TV and looked over at Lisa. She hadn't moved.

"What did you think?" he asked.

"I think it was good for a Valentine's Day movie, but too cheesy and not really having any point to it. The plot was weak, the story idea could have been better, and the actors were mediocre."

"So, unsuccessful?" asked Hector.

"I think we could have spent the time doing something else and would have lived," said Lisa.

Hector laughed.

The two sat together for a while, then Hector decided it was no or never to tell Lisa.

"Hey Lisa," said Hector.

Lisa turned to him.

"There's something I want to tell you."

"Okay, shoot."

"I'm…..how do you say this….not going to be here for a while."

"What do you mean?" asked Lisa.

"Well, you see, I'm actually spending the rest of this semester of college at a University."

Lisa froze.

"Where is it?" she asked.

"Kansas," replied Hector.

"And how long are you going to be there?"

"Well, that's the thing. I'm going to be there for the rest of college, and possibly grad school."

Lisa could feel herself tearing up.

"So you're saying that you're moving to Kansas and never coming back?"

Hector could tell she was upset.

"No Lisa, don't do this," said Hector, but Lisa was already softly crying.

"What if I don't see you again?" she asked.

"You will," promised Hector. "I'm already planning on coming in for holidays, possibly spring break, and a week or two in the summer."

Lisa kept crying.

"That's all going to change," she said. "Kansas State is a great school. Lots of people go there and love it. You're probably just going to stay there."

"But I will visit," said Hector.

Lisa sighed, calming down a bit. When she found her voice again, she asked.

"When are you leaving?"

"This week," said Hector, "on Wednesday. I need to get there so I can get settled in before classes on Monday."

Lisa nodded in understandment.

"Okay," she said.

Hector hugged her and Lisa hugged back. They both knew they were going to miss each other, a lot.

It was Wednesday, and everyone was outside the Ruiz apartment saying goodbye to Hector, that is, everyone except for Lisa. Hector didn't know where she was. He, his dad, and Mr. Watson were carrying his stuff from his house to his car. Once it was all loaded, Hector went around saying good-bye to everyone.

"Bye Keith," he said, high-fiving him.

"See you man," said Keith. "I'll miss beating you in basketball."

Hector laughed as he went to his sister.

"Bye Jess," he said hugging her.

"I still get your room as a library right?" she asked.

"Umm, no," said Hector.

Jessica smiled.

Hector said good bye to the rest of his family, and still couldn't find Lisa.

"Hey mom," he asked. "Have you seen Lisa here?"

"No Hector, I haven't," she said.

Hector sighed as he went into his car and started the engine.

"Bye Hector," chanted everyone.

Hector waved and started to drive away, but first, he had to make a quick detour.

Lisa was in her room, going through all her stuff. He had pictures of herself and the rest of the Electric Company. She pulled one up of Hector and herself from years ago at her birthday party. She smiled and put it back. Then she picked up her stuff and threw it into her closet. She walked over to her bed and lay down. She was really going to miss Hector. Why did he have to choose now to leave? Then she heard a knock on her front door. Lisa walked up to the door, and opened it. There stood Hector.

"Hey Hector," said Lisa.

"Hey," said Hector. "I have a few minutes. Can I come in?"

Lisa nodded as she let Hector into her room.

"So, what is it you want to say?" asked Lisa.

"I came to say good-bye," said Hector, "since you weren't at my house earlier, I really wanted to see you again before I left."

Lisa could feel tears swelling up in her eyes.

"Hector," she choked out as she went up and hugged Hector. Hector hugged her back.

"I'm going to really miss you," said Hector.

"Me too," agreed Lisa.

The two broke apart from their hug, and Lisa looked up at Hector. Hector smiled.

"Everything will be alright," he said starting to get closer to Lisa's face. "If we're lucky, fate will bring us back together again."

"We can only hope," said Lisa. There was a small gap between their lips.

Hector closed that gap and the two savored their last moment together for a long time. After a while, Hector broke apart and left leaving Lisa, standing in the middle of the living room, wishing that she could go after him.

"If we're lucky," she repeated, "fate will bring us back together again."
