~I'm going to be finishing up two or three of my other stories before I update this one again, so then I have more time to focus on my stories and so that some of them are done. :)

Paco:

Sitting down in my chair, I feel like mierda after being up all night and waiting for Juli to call me. I shake my head as I think about her being in danger, my whole mind shuts down at that thought. Class starts and I sit here in a daze, only thinking about Juli. My eyes stay on the black board, but I don't see what the teacher is writing, this is how my whole day goes-up until Chemistry. When I sit down, I'm thankful for the day to almost be over and I'm shocked when I have someone pushing their body up against my back, giggling as she does so. I know that giggle and it makes me tense, making me want to throw something.

"Paco baby," whispers Sarah, in the most seductive voice that she can manage. Her fingers run down my back, making me want to push her away from me. Turning around, I'm greeted by her long blonde perfectly curled hair, the shortest mini skirt that I have ever seen, a bright pink shirt that I swear she only bought half of and the over-powering smell of her perfume. "I haven't seen you for a while, where have you been running off to? Have you been avoiding me?"

I know that she was saying it in a flirtatious way, but I'm not in the mood for it, so I say with a wide grin on my lips, "En realidad, yo estaba tratando de escapar de la asfixia en sus senos. Sarah, can't you just leave me alone? We're over and we've been over."

"If you come over to my house tonight...we can change that. Come on babe, I miss you and we can try something new together." Her fingers dance up and down my arm, making my stomach lurch. This girl is loco and obviously desperate. "Paco-wacko, I think that we can work everything out now and I realized what my mistakes were. Never again, will any of those happen. Kiss me?"

"Sarah, I would not kiss you if you were the last living organism on earth. You lie, you follar with my friends and you are incapable of loving someone," I say to her in a happy tone, trying to piss her off enough so that she'll just leave me alone. She stares at me as though she cannot believe that those words just came out of my mouth and it makes my smile widen, oh yes, she's pissed. "La señorita Sarah tiene que aprender a mantener sus pantalones y dejar de jugar con todos los hombres que ella conoce." ("Miss Sarah has to learn how to keep her pants on and stop messing with every guy that she meets.")

Mrs. Peterson walks in, with an exhausted looking Juli behind her, making Sarah run to her seat. My eyes stay on Juli as she walks over to our table, her long blonde hair is pulled up into a messy bun, she's wearing my t-shirt and a pair of jeans. But when my eyes flicker down to her hand, I notice the glove made out of netting and how she never wore that before.

"Chica?" I whisper as she sits down next to me. With a quick shake of her head, she stares straight ahead and I'm silent while Mrs. P tells us to answer the questions on the worksheet, that has about thirty questions and no talking. Raising my hand, I smile at her as her eyes flicker onto me. "Mrs. P, can't we work with a partner?"

"Paco, you already know the answer to that. Now get started on the questions," she says, walking over to her desk and sitting down. Quickly, she starts writing something down and shakes her head. "Your worksheets are due tomorrow morning, when the bell rings. Anything handed in late will be marked down as such, no exceptions."

Quickly, I look down at my worksheet and watch as Juli dazes out. Once I'm done I realize that she hasn't even started. Feeling as though I have to protect her, I re-write all of the answers on a separate piece of paper, sliding it under her worksheet, hoping that she doesn't notice. Of course, I'm not that lucky as her bright eyes meet mine. Her eyes a little red and puffy underneath. She gives a slight shake of her head and tries to push the piece of paper back over to me, but I stop her. When our fingers touch, it feels like electricity is being zapped through my body.

She looks up into my eyes and pulls away quickly, muttering, "Take it back..."

"Never.." I whisper back and she glares at me. My eyes flicker to her hand and I move mine toward it, when my fingers brush against the glove, she jumps. To my surprise, she pulls her hand away and stares at me with wide eyes. "Why are you weari-"

"Is there something that you would like to share with the class? Mr. Fuentes? Miss Gallagher?" We both look up and sure enough Mrs. P is standing right next to me. Her eagle eyes are trained on the two of us, making me want to pull Juli's glove off right now. "Are you two done with your worksheets?"

"Sí, la Sra. P. Would you like to see mine?" I hold mine out to her and she gives a slight shake of her head. A wide smile forms on my lips and I look down. "Lo siento, señora Peterson, me comprometo a no hablar durante la clase de nuevo hoy." (I'm sorry, Mrs. Peterson, I promise to not speak during class again today.)

She narrows her eyes at me, she crosses her arms and shakes her head, obviously thinking that I said something wrong. "What was that, Paco? In English, please."

"I said that I'm sorry Mrs. P and that it will not happen again," I say in a slow voice, making her glare turn more stern. Smiling, I look down at my notebook and expect her to leave, but she just stands over me. Looking back up, I try to act surprised. "Yes, Mrs. Peterson?"

"You know that I have a zero tolerance rule, so you will have this worksheet to work on too." She hands me another worksheet, that's double-sided. Nodding her head, she seems happy with herself and turns to walk away. "Remember, no talking."

Shaking my head, I put my hand under my desk and watch as Juli relaxes her hand on her leg. Gently, I try to take her hand in mine, but she pulls away and shakes her head. I stare at her in shock, as tears build up in her eyes and she puts her hand over her mouth. A few seconds later, she looks up at Mrs. P and she gets a slight nod, sending Juli running out of the room.

Everyone looks up to see the door slam shut, behind her. Mrs. Peterson walks over to me and nods her head, clearing her throat. Grabbing our stuff, I stand up and rush out of the room after her. Taking a deep breath, I watch as she runs into the girls restroom. Shaking my head, I wonder what I should do. Knowing that I can't leave her in there alone, I run in there and hear her sobbing. Walking over to the stall, I knock on it.

"Go away," she sobs and it breaks my heart. Pushing on the door, I try to make it open, but no such luck. "Seriously? You're going to mess with me, right now? Just leave me alone, Adán.."

"It's not Adán, Juli." At this she opens the door and stares at me, in shock. Her eyes are red and she wraps her arms around me, hugging herself to me. I push her away for a second and put out stuff on the floor, taking her into my arms and kissing her on the top of her head. "What's wrong?"

"Mi mamá está en el hospital, no sé si ella lo va a hacer... Paco, I'm worried about her," ( My mom is in the hospital, they don't know if she's going to make it...) she whispers, clinging to me. She starts shaking and I rub her back, knowing that I can't let go of her. "What am I supposed to do?"

"Let me be here for you. Juli, you know that you need me," I whisper to her and she pulls away from me slightly. I stroke her cheek and kiss her lightly. "I need you too..."

She lets out a shaky breath. "I was about to say that you sounded full of yourself."

"Come on, lets...get out of here." Her eyes go wide as I pick up our stuff and take her hand in mine. She doesn't pull away and I lead her to my locker, quickly getting what I need. When we are at her locker, she puts her hair down and brushes her fingers through it. "Juli, are you okay?"

"What if we get caught? I don't want to get into trouble.." At that moment her cell phone vibrates and she pulls it out, sucking in a deep breath. "I have to go-it was my dad..."

I follow her and grab her bag, getting a shocked look from her. "I'm coming with you-"

"No, you can't. Paco, I promise that I'll call you tonight." She tries to take her bag back, but I don't let her. Our eyes lock and she gives a slight nod of her head. "I hope that nothing worse happens to them because of me..."

She walks off, before I can ask her what she means and I follow. When she gets to her car, she turns to me and I see the tears in her eyes. Her body starts shaking and I wrap my arms around her. I hate seeing her like this, broken, crying and hurt.

"Everything will be okay, chica." I kiss her on the top of her head and take the keys from her. "I'll always be here to take care of you."

She nods her head. "She's having...surgery and..."

She cuts off and jumps into the car, letting me get into the drivers side and start up the car. My nerves start acting up on the way to the hospital, as I think about what she meant and what she's going through. Should I have stayed behind and let her go on her own? Looking over at her, I know that I made the right choice. Juli's curled in on herself and crying, she needs me...

Woo! Okay, what did you think? I hope that you liked it! Thank you for reading and please leave a review! I promise that Brit and Alex will be telling the kids about the pregnancy in one of the next chapters...
