She places her hand on the end table, reaching for the phone from her bed. She was way too tired to talk to anyone, but she couldn't really place who was calling her, so just in case, she'd answer.

"Hello?" She asks, her voice filled with sleep. She really wanted to go back to sleep.

"M-M-Marisol!" Someone cries into the phone, causing Marisol to sit up, recognizing the voice immediately. It was her closest friend/sister. Thank goodness she answered.

"Ally, what happened?" She asks, waking up.

"I-I'm freaking out right now." She sniffs. "S-so, you know how I haven't come to hang with you on the holidays like I usually do r-right?" She asks, and Marisol nods.

"Yeah. It's getting on my nerves, but continue."

"I-I'm sorry. I-it's just, Huey stays for the holidays a-and I don't want anything to happen."

"Why would something happen?"

"B-because Jazmine goes here!" She says, sobbing. Marisol's raises her eyebrows and her mouth opens.

"I thought that girl moved to a different city miles from here."

"S-she did! B-but now she's going to our uni, and f-found H-Huey, a-and I th-think he's gonna l-l-l-leave me!" She cries and Marisol sighs.

"He isn't going to leave you Ally." Marisol says softly into her phone, trying to soothe her crying friend. "You know how Huey is. You two have been together for four years. I really don't think he'd give up his relationship with you for her."

"B-but i-it's J-J-Jazmine." She cries and sniffs. "S-she's been his friend f-f-for forever."

"Yeah, but you are his girlfriend. And it's Huey. He loves you."

"B-but-"

"Ally, you have to see that. You two have been together for years. Obviously, he has strong feelings for you to even make that long of a relationship work, especially for him. I can see it in his eyes that he cares a lot for you. You have to stop being so insecure about this, honey." She says, and Ally sniffs.

"Can you come down here?" She sniffs, and Marisol smiles.

"Let me get dressed first." She says and the two say their goodbyes, leaving Marisol awake and ready to leave the house. She knew Ally needed her. The two were as close as they could be, and were inseparable. Ally was Marisol's sister, not in the sense of blood relations, but every other sense of the word, of course. She quickly showered, blow dried her hair and dressed in gray joggers, a cream colored v neck and some brown Timbs.

There wasn't any reason for her to look cute for Ally. Ally's seen her at her worse. She places her hair in a ponytail, grabbed her phone and keys and left the house.

Within minutes, she was at Ally's dorm, walking through the halls and up to the dorm room she knew like the back of her hand. She knocks and the door opens, showing the red faced, puffy eyed girl she called her sister. Quickly and tightly, Ally wrapped her arms around Marisol, and she does the same. The two waddle into the dorm room, not letting go, and Marisol uses her back to close the door behind her. "I missed you Ally." Marisol mutters, feeling the girl nuzzle her head into her shoulder and nod.

"Do you think he's with Jazmine right now?" Ally says, letting go of Marisol.

"No." Marisol says, looking at Ally. "You know he loves you. He would never do anything to hurt you, and you know that."

"But… this is Jazmine we're talking about. She's been his friend for forever. They still talked even after she moved. How can I compete?"

"You are his girlfriend. You don't have to compete with anyone. You already won." She says, shrugging. "Jazmine ain't got shit on you."

"You haven't even seen her."

"And? I don't need to. You have something she doesn't. And that's why you are still Huey's girlfriend."

Ally nods, letting out a sigh. "So where is Huey?" Marisol asks, looking at her. Ally rubs her eyes slightly.

"At the library. He always spends his Sunday mornings at the library."

"What a weird thing to do."

"He's trying to become a historian." Ally says, looking at her. "He needs to know as much as he can."

"He already knows everything." Marisol says, shaking her head. She gets up and stretched. "Let's go bother him."

"B-but-"

"Nope, you know this is what I always do when I come here. And besides, you can confront him and make him kiss away all your fears." She says causing Ally to push her, but get up anyway.

"Let me get ready." Ally says, and Marisol looks her over.

"You look fine." She says, admiring the sundress. "All you need are some eyedrops and you'll be fine." Ally gives Marisol an 'are you sure' look causing Marisol to smile and nod.

After a couple of seconds, the two girls were off, laughing and smiling. It felt good to see Ally, who was just crying her eyes out, smiling. She hated seeing Ally cry.

Ally opens the door to the library, the two walking in and looking around. "He's over there." Marisol says, spotting the large afro. "Has he been growing his hair out? That afro is massive!" She says, her mouth open.

"I think it's cute." Ally says, walking toward her boyfriend, Marisol following behind her. Ally smiles and wraps her arms around his shoulder, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Hey baby…" Her cheerful tone dies as she looks up, meeting eyes with Jazmine. Marisol looks at the girl, looking her up and down. If shit got out of hand, she'd be able to take her if Ally didn't fuck her up. Ally lets go of Huey. "I didn't know you were here with… Jazmine." She says, taking a step back. "What a surprise." She says, trying to make her voice cheerful once more.

"Hi Huey." Marisol says, rounding the table and sitting next to Jazmine.

"Marisol." He says, watching as she studies Jazmine, her eyes narrow. "I heard you and Riley finally got together." He says, calling the attention off of Jazmine. Marisol looks at Huey, her eyes filled with anger. He knew what that look meant. She gave it to Riley all the time when he said something bad about Ally, teasing or not. It meant he did something wrong.

"Yeah." She simply says, bringing her hands up to the table. He knew how protective she was about Ally and vice versa. He looks at his girlfriend, who sat next to him, her eyes on the table.

"Do you want me to leave-"

"No." Marisol says, her voice cold as she interrupts Jazmine. "Stay."

The silence was tense, only because Marisol was giving both him and Jazmine a death glare. "S-so, you go out with Huey?" Jazmine asks, looking at Ally. "He's said a lot about you."

"Yeah." Ally says, her voice almost a whisper. "I love him."

"I used to have the biggest crush on him." Jazmine says with a nervous laugh. Marisol tenses at the words, placing her hands below the table and cracking her knuckles. "He's a great guy."

"I know." Ally says. She looks at Marisol. "Let's go."

"Are you sure?" Marisol asks, watching her get up. "I think we still have business to take care of."

"Marisol." Huey and Ally say in unison. Marisol looks at Huey, the glare in place.

"Don't Marisol." Ally says, causing Marisol to look at her. Ally motions for Marisol and she nods, giving Huey one last look before following.

"Uhm, nice to meet you?" Jazmine calls out as the two girls walk off.

Marisol rolls her eyes, biting her lip to keep from saying something. Once they exit the library she looks at Ally, seeing tears fall down her face.

"I'm so stupid." She breathes out and Marisol sighs.

"You aren't, honey. You just need to talk to that jerk and sort shit out. Tell him what you feel. Tell him what you feel right now."

"Please." Huey says, causing the two to look at him. Ally wipes her face quickly and Marisol crosses her arms. "I don't understand what's wrong."

"A lot." Ally whispers. Marisol places a hand on her shoulder before moving to the side, letting them talk. She really wanted to tell Huey off, but it'd be better if Ally spoke to him.

She watches as Huey takes Ally in his arms, saying something and smiles. Maybe she wouldn't have to tell Huey off. She slowly moves over as the two pull away and Marisol lets out a happy sigh. "You two are good right?" She asks, and Ally nods. "Good." She says, and looks away. She then punches Huey's chest, causing him to recoil slightly and look at her. "That's what you get for making her cry." She says, crossing her arms and Ally pushes her slightly.

"Your punches have gotten stronger." He says as she starts walking. He wraps an arm around Ally's waist. "Who have you been practicing on?"

"Well, I have gotten into a couple altercations this past month." Marisol says, shaking her head. "Hoes these days."

"I bet it has everything to do with Riley, am I right."

"Hit it on the nose." Marisol says, chuckling. "It's over now."

"Let me guess, she's in the hospital." Ally asks, placing her head on Huey's shoulder.

"She should be." Marisol says. "Fighting me twice wasn't a good idea."

"Hopefully she's not dead." Huey says. "Riley would never shut up if you went to jail for him."

"He would never shut up if he went to jail." Marisol says, shaking her head. "He's so foolish sometimes."

"How'd you two get together anyway?" Ally asks, and Marisol shrugs.

"He just… kissed me one day. And voila." Marisol says, looking at the sky. "I didn't really… expect us to get this far."

"Well, I always knew it would happen." Ally says, and Marisol sends her a look. "What? I did!"

"And I always knew you and Huey would get together."

"No, that was a complete surprise." Ally says, looking at her boyfriend. "He totally didn't like me back when we were younger."

"Mmhmm." Marisol says, sarcasm apparent in her voice. "A total surprise alright.
