A/N:
Chapter 6
Mi Hermanita
Liz knew now that she had royally fucked up. It wasn't like she was scared. It was just that she could believe the treacherous scandal that she had actually been a LARGE part of. She needed someone to talk to, she needed guidance! She needed HELP!
Maria was NOT the person that Liz should go to considering the fact that Liz had initially ignored Maria's prior warning but what the hell did she know? Liz could not believe that of the whole 8 weeks that Liz had been attending West Roswell High she had no idea who Michael's girlfriend was, and the fact that Liz found out the way she did was even worse.
Why? WHY? WHY!!! Why did this have to happen!!! If she had known what DRAMA she was getting herself into she would have… Well she thinks she would have… Well she was pretty sure that she knew she would have… Stayed away from Michael.
There was only one person who would keep it real with Liz. One person that would always have her back no matter what stupid shit Liz had gotten herself into.
Bella.
Liz picked up the dark fuchsia pink cordless phone by her bedside and dialed the numbers she used to dial on a regular basis back home.
On the other end Liz could hear the ringing on the line.
It rang.
And rang.
…And rang.
"¿Hola?" Bella's cheery voice answered.
"¿Es Marivelle en la casa por favor?" Liz joked.
"I wonder who this is?! Cuz I KNOW it couldn't be bizzie Lizzie!"
"Haha." Liz faked.
"Never thought I'd being hearing from Liz Ortecho again. Not now that she attends Prep School All-America and all." The girl on the other line of Liz's phone teased.
"Bella, I know… It's been a while, but I've had a lot to deal with here." Liz lied; the truth was she wanted nothing to do with her past, anything linking to her mother.
"I miss you Lizzie." Bella confessed.
"I miss you too Bella." Liz sighed.
"So how's the preppy life going?"
"Sux. All the people here are as fake as press on nails." Liz giggled.
"Siempre encontara usted un hogar en nuestra casa. I wish I could be there to help ya out Liz but…" Bella let the sentence go. (You can always find a home with us.)
"How's your mom?" Liz dared to ask, Bella and her mother hardly were ever on speaking terms and her dad was MIA sense Bella was 3 months old.
"She's fine, why?" Bella responded a bit agitated.
"Just wondering damn girl." Liz said feeling a bit attacked. Although it was never said, Liz knew that it hurt Bella just a small amount of how close Liz was with Bella's mother.
"Sorry but you know how it is Liz. Damn it sucks now without you or Max to help keep it real, you know…" Liz could hear Bella's gossip queen side coming out, "Everyone at school is saying that you and Max ran away together to get married because he got you pregnant. Geez, can't these people get a life? Like take Yolanda for example, she thinks that just because she and Lenard had sex that they are together. And let me tell you Lizzie– "
"It's okay Bella, I really don't want to hear any of it." Liz sighed and thrust herself backward onto her bed, "Listen the reason I called is simple…"
"¿Que?" Bella asked.
"I want to go back." Liz spat out.
"You what?! Liz! You know you can't do that!" Bella screamed into the phone.
"I can and I am. I just bought a plane ticket to get over there. I leave at 8 tonight. You said I can always find a home with you." Liz said.
"Yo no lo creo." Bella muttered under her breath (I can't believe this), "Yes I did. Ven aqui pronto hermanita." Bella laughed, making Liz smile. (Get over here now sister)
"Thanks Bella, I hate it here. I miss you and I miss California and I miss- "
"Max?" Bella blurt out, making Liz's heart stop.
"Max is out of the picture Bella you know that." Liz played with the phone cord.
"You given up on him huh?" Bella responded in her thick Spanish accent.
"No, I just. Think that he deserves better." Liz said after a while.
"No, YOU deserve better hermanita. Max is holding you back from all the damn good things in life. I mean mira lo que esta pasando. ¿Que ves? (Take a look around you, what do you see?) Where you are right now babe, it's fuckin' hella better than what you had here. We live in the barrio baby. No use tryin to deny that shit. Over here we have to keep it real, and I personally think that you could go places in life Lizzie, you have maintained a 4.0 since fuckin kindergarten and look at me." Bella sighed loudly into the phone, "I have to support me AND my low life mother with a barely minimum wage salary at the fuckin local FOOD4LESS grocery store. I love you baby tu es mi hermanita pero yo no quero tu aqui." (you are my sister but I don't want you here) "You need to stay where you are in your preppy ass school with your preppy ass new friends. Comprendes?" Bella's voice wavered.
"Siempre encontara usted un hogar en nuestra casa." Liz whispered into the phone, tears welling up in her eyes. (You can always find a home with us.)
"Your papa don't even know me Liz." Bella coughed.
"You sick?" Liz asked.
"No, I just," She coughed again, "I just can't shake this cough."
"I have an idea, I'll trade in my ticket and send you one to get your ass over here. Sound good?"
"And what about my mother huh?"
"Let her have your job at the grocery store." Liz suggested.
"Good idea, it's time she got off her fat ass and did some work around here! Wait a minute, quit getting my hopes up about this. Liz you don't even have room for me over there your papa don't know me, I mean what kind of person lets a stranger into the house huh?" Bella ranted.
"My papa knows all about you. I talk about you 24/7." Liz lied, she never even talked to her father unless she had to.
"Liar. I know you hermanita. I can tell when you lie."
Liz knew how stubborn Bella could be. She knew that Bella felt like Liz was pitting her. But Liz was far from it, she knew that Bella was smart and could do way better out in Roswell freakin New Mexico than she could in Roseville. As much as Liz loved her hometown she couldn't deny the fact that the people they hung out with were bad news. Maybe when the were older they could move back to California, but for now… Liz had to get Bella over to Roswell, and quick.
"Bella," Liz started, "I'm sending you that ticket, now you can use it as a vacation visit to come and see me and pay with your own money to go back. Or you can pack all your shit and come live with me. Comprendes hermanita?" Liz side smiled.
Bella took a long time before she answered. "Your papa don't have the room for me."
Liz smiled, she had Bella and she knew it the second Bella spoke, "You'd be surprised at how much more successful my papa is."
"How?" Bella pushed.
"Oh he just owns the most popular restaurant in all of Roswell. The CrashDown, ever heard of it? It also has a built in condo that my dad had built two years ago above the restaurant. We've two extra bedrooms now."
"¿Como obtuvo todo ese dinero?" (How did he come by all that money?) Bella asked gasping.
"The divorce settlements a couple years back."
"No me puedo mover." (I can't move.) Bella whispered.
"You can and you are." Liz said final.
"No Chismosa! I mean I really can't move! My leg is asleep, I've been sitting on it this whole time!" Bella yelped.
Liz bust up laughing. "I can't wait for you to come and mix things up down here."
"Yea well you tell them Roswell girls to watch out cuz here comes Bella Quintania! To come steal their boyfriends away!" She yelled excited.
"Been there, literally done that." Liz sighed.
"¿Que es eso?" (What is this?) Bella gasped.
"I'll give you the full version when you get here."
"I'm packing as we speak hermanita." Bella joked.
"Good cuz I'm gonna need you to have my back when the shit hits the fan about this guy."
"That bad huh? Can you take her?"
"Hell yea! It's just…"
"You like him, don't you?" Bella's voice softened.
"He makes me feel the way Max does, and he's… different."
"That's what they all say hermanita, that's what they all say."
"I do miss Max though... With all my heart I wish he were here with me." Liz sobbed.
"¿Por que llodes? Since when does Liz Teflon Ortecho cry?"
"Because I know Max doesn't miss me…" Liz cried.
"Trate de aguantar un poco mas." (Try to hold on a little longer) "I'm coming hermanita, I'm coming."
