I shook my head negatively, biting my lip, and quickly got into the car. William went into the house and came back with a t–shirt. He got heading towards my house.

we didn’t say anything and the atmosphere was terrible–too heavy
I saw the car stop in front of my house, and I couldn’t wait for him to stop to get out quickly. I felt suffocated inside that car.
William took my bag out of the car and took it into the house. I followed his inside.
“Julia,” he turned to me, “I wish none of this had happened.”
“Me too,” I said, forcing a smile.
Despite everything, I don’t want us to love the affection we have for each other.”
“That won’t happen. You’re an important person in my life anyway.” I smiled. “Thank you for bringing me back,” I thanked him.
did nothing more than my duty,” he said as he turned to leave, leaving me with a slight pain in my chest. I loved this man so much..
William turned to me and stepped closer, stealing a lingering kiss from me. After that, he turned and walked away, leaving me alone.
“Darling,” said Mary, the housekeeper, appearing in the living room. “What are you doing here?” she asked.
“I’m back,” I smiled, and she returned the smile.
“I’m glad my angel. But do your parents know?” she asked, and I shook my head. “Your father hates you throwing tannins,” she said, crossing her arms.
“Maria, I am not a baby. Sometimes my dad smothers me,” I grumbled.
“You’re his little princess,” she defended
I nodded my head in agreement
My dad and I have always been very close. Sometimes he annoys me with his overprotectiveness, but I love him.
“Are you hungry?” asked Mary,
“No,” I replied, straightening my bag. “I’m going upstairs to get some rest.”
“Later, Jorge will take your bag to your room,” she said gently.
I nodded and headed for my room.
wake up to the sound of my phone, stretching my arm to grab it from the table next to my bed. I glance at the phone, seeing my father’s name there.
He found out faster than thought… I took a deep breath and answered his call.
“Hi, Dad,” I said when I picked up.
“Hi, my princess, How are you?” be
he asked. He didn’t seem angry at all
“I’m fine, and you?” I inquired.
“I’m fine,” he said. “William told me you would come back home.”
“Yes” was all I said.
Is he going to be a father?
“Why? Your mother is nagging me about it now,” he sighed.
“I can take care of myself.”
“No, you can’t,” my father said. Remember when you cut all your hair?”
I was only 6 years old,” I grumbled.
“It doesn’t matter. I was traumatized,” he exaggerated.
I shook my head, laughing
My father is so dramatic.
Ill be fine. Enjoy your trip!”
“We’re coming back!” my mother shouted in the background. I rolled my eyes.
“Mom, I mumbled

“Ill feel bad if you come back because of me!” I acted.

My Father’s Best Friend
Ballad
POY JULIA
To stay would be to tolerate his lies and omissions. He needs to learn to understand where he went wrong and that what he did was a temble one. I know that if I stayed, I’d avoid the subject or wouldn’t even touch it, but that wouldn’t mean that I forgave him or that I had forgotten. I would feel suffocated. Furthermore, I’d suffocate slowly. Part of me wants to leave, and part of me wants to stay. I like him, that’s a fact. But I’m not one to tolerate lies, and this time won’t be any different. To me, someone who lies once will lie twice, three times, and so on.
It’s hard to say it’s over when something never even started. But looking at the positive side – if there is one–it’s better this way. This relationship was destined to fail, it would never work out. There are so many commas in this relationship that we would have to face so many things that I don’t know if we’d overcome.
I swiped my finger across my phone screen, scrolling through the photos I had saved in William’s gallery. He looked so handsome in that picture, smiling spontaneously. A single tear fell from my right eye, and I quickly wiped it away to try and suppress the sirge to cry,
I always had feelings for William. I thought he was marvelous and everything good and beautiful Furthermore, I believed that if I ever ended up being with him, those feelings would fade away, but in reality, I was so wrong… Those feelings overflowed, and I felt an overwhelming need to have him by my side.
“When they told me, I didn’t believe it,” My best friend enters my room, trying to get my attention. I looked up at her, and she shook her head, saying, “Come on, spill it out! What did that jerk do?” She approached the bed.
1 quieldy shook my head. I didn’t want to talk because I knew if I did, I’d start crying, and then I wouldn’t be able to stop.
“Come on, Julia. Tell me!” She sat on my bed, placing a pillow on her lap. “Lie down here and tell me what’s going on.”
I did as she said. I laid my head on her lap, and she started gently caressing it, providing a comforting feeling. Furthermore, I closed my eyes, embracing the
mcnient.
“Dona Mary called me and said you haven’t left your room since yesterday.” Olivia said, looking worried. “You haven’t even eaten! What’s going on?”
“Im not hungry,” I whispered.
“Why did you leave William’s place? What did he do to you? Tell me, and I take care of him!” she said angrily.
“He lied to me,” I felt my threat tighten with the urge to try again. I hate feeling this way.
“What a jerk! How did he lie?” she asked.
“He’s going to be a father,” I dropped the bomb while team streamed down my face.
“Oh, my God!” she exclaimed, shocked. “What do you mean?”
“I felt the same way, but that’s not even the main issue. He had been acting strange all week–distant… I kept asking if something was wrong, and he claimed it was work–related–problems on the job–but it was all a lie. And you know how I found out? The lovely lady rubbed it in my face!”
“oh” she said sympathetically.
“Don’t look at me like that,” I pleaded.
“Sorry!” she apologized. “I know how much you liked him. You gave yourself entirely to him”
“And he didn’t,” I finished sadly.
“Oh, Julia, don’t be like this,” She caressed my face. “Luckily, you have an excellent friend, namely me. I’m going to take you out and help you forget about this huge idiot!” she said enthusiastically
“I don’t feel like it, I just want to stay y here quietly, I’ll be okay soon enough.”
“I won’t accept no as an answer. We’re going for sure! I’ll get us invites to a party from a friend.”
“We can’t get in because of our age.” I stated, stating the obvious.
