Three years earlier...

Jasmin and Andres sat in his car outside of her house; they sat in silence. Andres locked the car doors as a bum passed by, it was late and their neighborhood wasn't the greatest. The people from across the street sat outside drinking and smoking, every few minutes cars would pass by and the only sound you heard was the neighbors dog barking.

We needed to have this talk badly .. I needed this talk, but for some reason all the things that I had planned to say wouldn't come out. I hate when that happens.

Jasmin sighed, "So have you thought about it?"

"God, I can't believe I'm the one asking now." she thought.

"Yeah..."

"Well?"

"You know I love you, but..." he stopped.

"But what Andres? Just say it."

Andres got frustrated, "Fuck I don't know Jasmin, I just don't want to hurt you."

"Con eso me esta diciendo todo."

"Fuck Andres, just tell me already."

"I want to be with you, I feel so good when we're together, but I don't want a girlfriend right now."

She sat there staring at her hands in her lap.

"I'm sorry Jasmin."

He reached for her hand and she didn't pull away.

"Its ok" she looked up at him, "Thank you for being honest with me."

"Maybe later on we can work things out, just not now."

"No, I think its time I just move on, I've already waited for you for two months."

"I just don't think we would work out anymore... O tu que piensas?"

"I think we would. If we love eachother as much as we say we do we would make it work."

He didn't say anything.

A tear rolled down her cheek but he didn't notice.

"Well I'ma go inside, good night Dre."

He looked at her and reached over to give her a hug, "Good night."

He gave her a kiss on the cheek and she got out of the car. He waited till she got inside her house, but instead of leaving right away he sat there for a minute. Was she really going to try to move on or was she just saying that?

"Na, she loves me. She's not gonna give up just like that." he thought to himself.

That night I cried. I hardly ever cried. I had to move on, I always promised myself I would never be like those stupid girls who waited hopelessly for a guy who obviously didn't value them like they deserved. I was done with playing dumb, I knew I was better off without him. It just hurt too much to admit it.

Jasmin went to Lorenas house the next day. She couldn't bare to be stuck at home alone.

"So I got out the car and went inside."

"Wow, I never thought Andres would be such a jerk." Lorena said

"I know, he's not the same sweet guy he used to be. He's changed so much since we broke up. Damn, its almost been a year since then."

"So what, he expected you to wait for him hasta que se cansara de echar desmardre?"

Jasmin sighed, "Yup, those weren't his exact words but that's what he basically told me."

Lorena reached over and gave her a hug, "Don't worry, be happy."

"You're a dork" she giggled and hugged her back.

"Hey, sorry to change the subject, but I have a feeling you're gonna like this subject way better..."

"Aver, que?"

Lorena smiled, "So, what's happened with Enrique?"

Jasmin smiled even bigger, "We've been talking."

"Oh yeah?"

She laughed "Yes. He's hella cool Lore, I've never met a guy like him before."

"Well there you go."

"What you talkin about?"

"It's time you move on to better things, I know you love Dre but there's no point in staying at the place you're at now. Don't let a potentially great guy pass you by."

Jasmin knew she was right, but when you love someone you're blinded. She stayed at her house a few more hours then headed home. When she got there she saw her mom cooking.

"Hey ma" she said as she jumped up and sat on the kitchen counter.

"Hola mija, tienes hambre?"

"Yes ma'am."

She reached over to the cutting board and grabbed a piece of aguacate that her mom was cutting.

"You know, I've been thinking about Andres," her mother told her.

"Like what ma?"

"Me cae gordo que te esta haciendo sentir mal pero lo entiendo. Apenas tienen 19 años y el se quiere divertir."

"I know, I understand him too. I mean, we started dating when we were 15, y duramos casi 3 años de novios y en todo ese tiempo nunca se aloco como ahorita lo esta haciendo."

"Ya se, ahorita apenas se esta dando vuelo. I don't think he's going to want to change his lifestyle any time soon mija."

She frowned, "I know."

"Tu dejalo mija, ya si dentro de unos años ninguno de los dos estan comprometidos vuelven juntos. Pero eso si, I don't want you being sad, quiero que conoscas a otros muchachos."

Jasmin smiled.

"Y por cierto, que ha pasado con ese muchacho del baile? Como se llama? Ernesto?"

"Enrique ma!"

Her mom laughed, "Pues ese."

"Pues de vez en cuando hablamos por telefono y casi diario me manda un text. I don't know though."

"Well from what you tell me parece que es muy buen muchacho."

"I know."

Jasmin felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

"Quien te mando un mensaje?" her mother asked.

Jasmin smiled big, "Enrique."



I'll post more tonight if i get more replies!

spam? .. lol anyways, here's more



So a month and a half passed since the conversation that Andres and I had. I still missed him. I would see him from time to time, he seemed unaffected. I would hear about stuff he would do through some mutual friends we had. He'd changed more than I had thought, and not in a good way. We never spoke of that last conversation again. During that month though, Enrique and I started getting to know eachother more and more.

"Alright Chaparra, I don't want you to punk out on me."

Jasmin looked up at the huge rollercoaster she was about to get on.

"Oh hell no..."

She looked over to Enrique, "Why the hell did I let you talk me into this?"

He smiled, "Its my killer good looks that you can't say no to."

She laughed and hit him lightly on his arm.

"Ha, well ya'll are trippin if you think I'ma get on that." Lorena said as she crossed her arms.

"Tu tambien, you're getting on with us."

With that said he grabbed her and placed her in line.

"You know, before I met you I thought you would be kinda cool, I'm not liking you so much right about now."

He laughed, "You know you think I'm hella tight pa que te haces."

Lorena laughed and turned to Jasmin, "He's perfect for you."

We had so much fun that day. It was me, Lore, her date Juan and Quique... And yes, the fucker made us get on all the damn rollercoasters. lol

While Lorena and Juan wandered off to explore the theme park, Jasmin and Quique stayed behind and grabbed something to eat.

"Eww, why do you always put so much pepper on your french fries?"

"What?! Its hella good! Toma, prueba lo" he dipped it in ketchup and brought it up to her face.

"Haha na guy, I'm good. I like my french fries non-peppered thanks!"

"Andale no te hagas del rogar" he laughed.

"Que no! Muchacho feo."

"Sere muy feo por afuera, pero soy muy bello por adentro."

She laughed and threw one of her french fries at him.

"So are you having fun?" he asked.

"Lots, I've never gotten on so many rollercoasters."

"Haha well I'm glad you're having a good time."

"What about you?"

"I'm with Jasmin aka La Chaparra, what do you think?"

"So you're having a totally wicked awesome time?" she smiled.

"Na, its horrible!"

"Aww you're just mean."

He laughed and scooted closer to her, "You know I'm playing, I'm having a great time."

She looked up at him and smiled shyly, at that moment she felt something she hadn't felt in a long while. After a while Lorena and Juan made their way back to where Jasmin and Enrique were eating. They ordered some food and sat at the table.

Jasmin and Enrique stood up.

"Hey where the hell do you losers think you're going?" Lorena asked.

"We're gonna go look at the dolphins Nosey Rosy" Enrique replied.

"Alright but I want her back in one piece."

He saluted like a soldier, "Yes sir."

She laughed, "It's ma'am you ass!"

They walked till they finally got to the dolphins. Jasmin put her hand on the glass as the dolphins swam towards them. She laughed in amazement at how smart they were. Enrique smiled as he watched her.

"Wow, they're beautiful."

She turned to look at him when he didn't reply back.

"What are you looking at punk?"

"I don't know, I'm still trying to figure that out. It's ugly as hell though!"

She pushed him playfully, "You're dumb."

"Na I'm kidding, you know I think you're pretty. I think you're a really cool chick too you know that?"

She smiled, "Thanks."

"What do you think about me though? You think I'm an alright guy o que?"

"Yeah, eres muy buena onda.You can be a smart ass though."

They both laughed at the last part and started walking. To no where in particular, just walking.

"So que... You think you can see me as maybe.." he stuttered a bit, "Maybe your boyfriend someday? Or just a friend? Or.. umm .. Or something?"

She stopped walking and turned to him. He looked so nervous, kinda like a little boy. She'd never seen him like that, he always seemed so confident in himself. Not right now though, she was definitely not expecting that.

She smiled and looked up at him, "Yeah."

"Yeah what?"

"Shit, I answered like an idiot."

She laughed, "Yeah dude, I like you."

He smiled back at her, but didn't say anything back. They walked back to Lorena and Juan in silence. After staying at the theme park a while longer they decided it was time to go home.

The next few weeks went by pretty slow. Jasmin and Enrique kept talking and hanging out and although Andres was still in the back of her mind she managed to get over him slowly but surely.

It was Sunday night and Lorena and Jasmin were on the phone talking .. Mostly chismeando.

"So have you kissed him?" Jamin asked.

"Yeah."

"You whore!"

"I know." Lorena laughed, "Have you and Enrique kissed?"

"No! We're not even dating."

"Haha so?"

"I'm not a whore like this bitch I know who goes by the name of Lore."

They laughed and continued on to the next subject.

While Jasmin was at home Enrique and his brother Manuel were leaving their house.

"Alright guey, que no se te olviden las que te dije, I can't afford you fuckin up."

"Chill Quique, I got this foo." Manuel reassured him.

"So where are we meeting these guys at?"

"The gas station down the street."

"Are they hooking us up with a good price or what?"

"Yeah foo, they my boys. Don't trip, I already told you it's gonna come out perfect."

"It needs to."

A few hours later...

Lore and I can stay on the phone for hours and talk about nothing at all. Haha man, I love that bitch.


"Hey guess who I saw at the ma--" Jasmin jumped up from her bed, "What the hell?"

"What?" Lorena asked scared.

"There's some loud ass music coming from outside, it seems like it's right outside my door. Stupid neighbors." She got up and put her house shoes on, "Hold up real quick."

She opened her bedroom door and as she did her mom and dad stepped out of their room too. They looked at her confused, she shrugged her shoulders.

"Aqui quedensen" her dad told them.

Of course they didn't listen and they followed close behind him anyways.

"Are the neighbors having a party or something?" Jasmin asked her mom.

She still had her phone in her hand.

"Jas! What's going on?" Lorena asked.

"I don't know."

"Que es amor?" Jasmin's mom asked.

Jasmins dad backed away from the window and turned to Jasmin, "Umm, I think its for you."

She pulled the curtains back and saw where the music was coming from, her jaw dropped.

"Jasmin!" Lorena called out again.

"Uhh .. I'll call you back."
