Swaying back and forth to the misceláneo songs on the radio, champagne bottle in one hand, heels off, his camisa, camiseta off; this slow dance was a little interesting.
tu had gotten tired of the New Years Party tu were at, so tu decided to have your own; complete with balloons, champagne, dancing, and the life of the party.
“This is fun,” tu laugh as tu look up to him.
“Yeah,” he laughs, as he dips you.
“Careful of the champagne, babe.”
“Sorry… Just trying to make things classy.” He laughs.
“You kidding me? This is some high class shit!” tu laugh.
He glances at the clock.
“It’s 11:59,” he grins.
“Time for our New Year’s kiss,” tu grin as tu lean in.
“Not yet!” He yells, moving your face away. “It isn’t midnight yet!”
tu laugh, then glance at the clock.
“Well, we missed it.” tu pout. “It’s 12:01.”
“Looks like we have to wait a whole nother year.”

Darry’s P.O.V
“Daddy?” Danny asks from the back seat. He was six now, and Olivia was one.
“What happened to your mommy and daddy?” He asks.
I don’t answer for a minute, just keep driving. What do I say?
“My mommy and daddy are hanging out in heaven.” Is all I can think of to say.
“They’re partying with Jesus?” Danny asks. “That’s cool!”
“Yeah, bud,” I smile. “Partying with Jesus.”

tu sighed.
How were tu going to tell him tu got laid off?
Y’all needed money… tu had just bought a house, and money was short.
So of course tu had to lose your job.
tu walking into your house, and flop onto the couch. tu were pretty much done with all the stress.
Darry walked out of the bathroom, towel around his waist.
“What’s up babe?” He said, chuckling at the sight of tu sprawled on the couch.
“I got laid off.” tu mumble.
He’s silent for a second, taking this in. “I’ll pick up another shift.” He says.
“No, no.. tu don’t have to…” tu start.
“No.. I’d make más money than tu would. It’s gonna be fine I promise.”

tu put your head in your hands and breathe deeply. How where tu going to tell him? tu had gotten the phone call today.
tu were actually close to Soda. Danny played with Grace and Logan all the time. tu couldn’t even begin to imagine how they felt.
tu hear the front door open. Darry was inicial now. tu take another deep breath, and sit at the cocina table.
Just breathe.
He walks into the kitchen. “Hey babe, what’s wrong?” He asks, setting down his wallet and keys.
tu swallow. “I got a call.” Is all tu manage to say.
“About?” He asks, eyebrows raised.
“Soda’s dead.” tu blurt out.
The look on Darry’s face would haunt your memory for the rest of your life.
He just sat down on the floor in pure shock, mouth open, eyes wide.
