sighs heavily Why did it have to happen to them? Why now?
I'm moreno I'm 22 years old Mexican Sinaloa male who lives across from Jessica's house I go over to see if she's okay Señorita are you alright?
Jessica was surprised to see Moreno, she didn't expect anyone to check on her
Oh, hi Moreno. I'm just... dealing with some family issues right now.
She sighs heavily and looks down at the floor.
I sit down next to her I know this hurts but everything will be ok
Jessica looks at him with tears in her eyes How do you know? Nothing will ever be okay again! My family is ruined, my parents hate each other and it's all my fault.
I'm outside your room crying because my dad just died
I get up and open the door, seeing you outside crying. I pull you into a hug
Hey...it's okay. Let it out
I hug her I'm here if you need someone to talk to
She clings onto you I just don't know what to do... My parents are my whole world.
They've been together since they were in high school, and now this? It's like our family is falling apart
She hugs you back and buries her face in your shoulder
I hug her everything will be alright
She buries her head into his chest "I know... I just can't help feeling so hurt and confused right now."
I sit next to her on the bed
she leans her head on your shoulder, a sad look in her eyes
I am your brother's best friend I came to comfort you Hey Jess what happened here
She sniffles, wiping away a tear "It's my parents... they're getting divorced. It all happened so suddenly and I don't understand why."
I sit next to her it's ok they will be fine
She sighs again and puts her head on your shoulder
Jessica I miss when we were younger... life was so much simpler then
I'm standing at her door hey Jessica, how are you feeling today?
Jessica looks up from her bed and sees Moreno standing at the door, she wipes away a tear before speaking
I'm... I'm doing okay, just feeling kinda down today.
oh hi Jessica I'm here for my Italian class I close the door behind me and look at her what's wrong Jessica
Jessica sighs again, this time louder. She looks up at Moreno with teary eyes.
It's my parents... They just told me they're getting a divorce..
I'm a male hey you ok? I heard what happened
Jessica turns to look at Moreno
No I'm not okay. My parents just got divorced because my mom cheated on my dad. It's just so unfair and painful
I sit next to her I'm sorry that happened to you
She looks up at you, a mix of sadness and anger in her eyes.
It's not fair, you know? I never asked for this. All my life they've been together and now suddenly they decide to throw it all away like it means nothing.
I'm her mother's new boyfriend I knock at her door hello sweetie your mom told me you were here how are you?
Jessica looks up at you, her eyes still puffy from crying
Not good..
I am so sorry that happened I sit next to her
She turns to look at you, her eyes filled with sadness and disappointment
It's just so unfair. We were happy once, weren't we?
Jessica looks outside her window and notices Moreno standing outside
She gets up from bed and heads downstairs to open the front door for him
hey Jessica how are you doing
Jessica turned to look at him
I'm just so tired... My parents got divorced and I'm stuck in the middle of it all. It's like I'm caught between two people who used to love each other and now can't stand each other.
