"Hey, Steven. Did you see my silver hoop earings? And hurry up we are running late," you yelled from upstairs while getting ready. You chose a flowy, short floral dress. The dress had a soft pink background with vibrant blue and purple flowers, which complemented your warm skin tone and hair. The sleeves were short and ruffled, adding a playful touch to the outfit. You paired the dress with simple black sandals and a delicate necklace, letting the dress be the centerpiece of your look. Your hair was styled in loose waves that cascaded down your shoulders, framing your face perfectly.

"I'm sorry, but I won't be able to make it," he replied, his voice trailing off.

"Why not? We talked about this. You know how much this means to me," you said while coming down the stairs, trying to keep the disappointment from creeping into your voice.

"I have to finish this report from work. Plus, there's a big game tonight that I don't want to miss it.” he said, his voice flat and disinterested.

"Can't you take a break from work for just a few hours? And the game will be on TV. You can watch it later," you pleaded, hoping to change his mind.

"I'm sorry, but I can't. Maybe some other time, I already promised the boys I will come to the bar" he said, his tone indicating that the conversation was over.

You had been looking forward to introducing Steven to your old friends and having a good time at the party. But now, you felt let down and disappointed all over again. It seemed like he didn't care about your feelings or the things that were important to you.

Overall Steven was a great guy, but he just didn't seem to understand you or what you wanted. You just wanted someone who would be there for you, someone who would put you first and make you feel special. And as much as you liked Steven, you knew that he wasn't that person.

You took a deep breath and tried to compose yourself and walked out of the door without saying another word.

As you arrived at Magda's house for her son's second birthday party, you was greeted by a sea of colorful balloons and streamers. The front yard was transformed into a magical wonderland, with a bouncy castle, a small swimming pool, and a giant slide.Inside, the house was bustling with activity, as family and friends gathered to celebrate the special occasion. The smell of freshly baked cake and cookies filled the air, and you could hear the sound of children's laughter coming from every corner. Magda's son, Diego, was dressed in a cute little sailor suit, and he looked absolutely adorable.

The party was a mix of Mexican and American traditions, with piñatas, balloons, and lots of food.. The kids were running around, chasing each other and playing with toys, while the adults chatted and caught up with one another.

As soon as you entered Magda's backyard, you was greeted by a group of familiar faces. Magda's husband,and also one of your oldest friend, Eduardo, was manning the grill, while a few other family members were playing with the children.

Magda rushed towards you, her arms open wide. "Oh my goodness, you came! You look amazing!" she exclaimed, hugging you tightly.

You smiled, feeling overwhelmed with the warm welcome. "Thank you, Magda. Of course I came, Wouldn’t miss it."

She grabbed your hand and pulled me towards a table filled with food. "Come on, I'll introduce you to everyone."

You walked around, and caught up with old acquaintances and received condolences from those who knew about your father's passing.

Once the birthday cake was brought out, everybody gathered around to sing "Happy Birthday" to Diego. He was completely oblivious to the attention, more interested in the frosting on his fingers.

After the cake, the children ran off to play with each other, and the adults began to mingle. Eduardo offered you a slice of cake, and you started talking about the newest gossip of the town as if no time has passed.

Magda joined you, and she started talking about your childhood memories, laughing at some of the silly things you used to do.

She smiled and began, "Remember that time when we were playing hide-and-seek and Javier climbed up that big tree in the park? He thought he found the perfect spot to hide, but then he accidentally knocked a bird's nest out of the tree. The mama bird was so mad and started swooping down at him, and he had to climb down the tree really fast while dodging the angry bird. We all laughed so hard!" “OMG YES! How could I forget that. Still a better story than the firefly one.” You laughed along.

"Yes we tried to catch the fireflies on Chucho's farm, but we ended up getting scared and ran inside. Can you believe that Eduardo?" She paused to take a sip of her drink before continuing, "Chucho came in a few minutes later and caught us hiding under the covers. He laughed and told us that fireflies are harmless and they were just trying to light up our world."

You and Magda chuckled at the memory, and she continued, "And how about the time we tried to build a treehouse but ended up falling out of the tree?" She shook her head at the thought, "We were so determined to have our own little secret hideout, but we were just a couple of clumsy kids." As you all laughed at the memory, Magda's son, who had been playing with his new toys, wandered over and tugged on her shirt. She picked him up and held him on her hip as she continued, "You know, I always thought you and Javier would end up together. You were always so close, and he always looked at you like you were his whole world."

You felt your cheeks flush at her words, giving her a sad smile, and Magda smiled sympathetically before turning to her son, "But we'll save that story for when you're older."

As soon as Magda put Diego down, he toddled over to where you were sitting and reached up his chubby little arms, asking to be picked up. You obliged, lifting the toddler into your lap.

"Happy birthday, little man!" you said, tickling Diego's tummy.

Diego giggled and squirmed in your arms, his big brown eyes shining with joy. "Thank you!" he said, his words a little slurred.

"Did you get lots of presents?" you asked.

Diego nodded vigorously. "Uh-huh! Mama and Papa got me a new truck!" he said, holding up a toy car in his hand.

"Oh wow, that's so cool!" you said, pretending to examine the truck closely. "I bet you're going to have so much fun playing with that."

Diego grinned at her, his little face alight with happiness. "Wanna play with me, Auntie?"

Your heart swelled with affection at the little boy's words. "Of course, I do!" you said, holding the truck in her hand and pretending to make it drive across the floor. "Vroom vroom!"

Diego giggled again, clapping his hands in delight. "You're silly, Auntie. Can I show you my favourite birthday gift? You can play with it too" Diego asked already excited to show you his new toy. “The truck is not your favorite gift?” you asked with the truck still in your hand. Diego shook his head and ran off to get his favorite new toy. After a minute

Diego returned with a mini children lasso and a cowboy hat. “Uncle Javi gave me this cool hat his morning. Now I am a real cowboy!” the little boy couldn’t contain his excitement and it was effecting you too. “Diego, you look so cool. I bet you would be the best space cowboy in the whole universe.” You giggled along. “Whats a space cowboy?” he asked.

“Well, it’s a cowboy in space that catches bad guys and also bad aliens. Doesn’t it sound cool? ” You smiled at Diego as he looked up at you with wide eyes. "So, you want to be a space cowboy?" you asked. Diego nodded eagerly. "Yeah! It would be so cool to explore the universe and have adventures like they do in the movies or like Uncle Javi in Colombia!"

You chuckled. "I know what you mean, Diego. But being a space cowboy is a little different than that. It's more about being brave, independent, and resourceful, just like a cowboy in the old west."

Diego furrowed his brow. "But what about the space part? Don't they have to fly spaceships and stuff like that?"

You nodded. "Yes, they do. They have to be able to navigate through the galaxy and operate all kinds of alien technology. But at the same time, they also have to be able to handle themselves in dangerous situations and protect those around them."

Diego's eyes widened again. "Wow, being a space cowboy sounds really tough!"

You laughed again. "It can be, but it's also a lot of fun. And who knows, maybe one day you'll be able to explore the universe just like a real space cowboy! So are you up for this great responsibility?"

“YESSSSS! GUYS I AM A SPACE COWBOY!” Diego exclaimed as he run off to his friends. You couldn’t help but smile and bathe a little longer in this warm feeling.

It was getting late and you did not want to overstay your welcome so you got up and said your goodbyes. As you were about to thank Magda for the invitation, you spotted Chucho walking into the backyard. Your heart skipped a beat, and you froze for a moment, unsure of what to do. You considered turning around and leaving before he could notice you, but it was too late; he had already spotted you.

You made your way over to him, your eyes filled with tears. When he saw you, Chucho's face lit up with joy and he immediately opened his arms wide. You threw yourself into his embrace, feeling the warmth of his love and the safety of his arms. All the initial hesitation long forgotten.

For a long time, you just held each other, not saying anything. Finally, you pulled away and looked up at Chucho, your eyes still brimming with tears. Looking up at him with a mixture of relief and still the fear of rejection.

"It's so good to see you," you said, your voice shaking. "I've missed you so much."

Chucho smiled down at you, his eyes soft with emotion and adoration. "I've missed you too, mi hija," he said. "Finally you are home. I’ve been praying everyday for you to come back to me." You felt overwhelmed by his love and care. "I'm so sorry, Chucho. I should have told you I was leaving." Chucho shook his head, his eyes full of understanding. "No, mi hija. You had to do what was best for you. I just wish I could have been there for you, protected you from that man."

You nodded, feeling a sense of relief washing over you. It was like you had been carrying a burden for so long, and finally, you could share it with someone who truly cared.

"I'm proud of you, mi hija," Chucho said, his voice choked with emotion. "You've come so far, and you're so strong."

You felt a lump form in her throat as you looked at him, feeling grateful for his presence in your life. "Thank you. I couldn't have done it without you."

Chucho smiled, his eyes twinkling. "You did it on your own, mi hija. I just provided a little love and guidance along the way." "I wanted to tell you…I got married," you finally said, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.

His face broke into a wide grin. "Well, congratulations! Who's the lucky guy?"

"His name is Steven. He's a lawyer from Austin," you replied, feeling a bit sheepish.

Chucho's smile faltered slightly. "Austin, huh? Well, I hope he treats you well. You'll have to bring him out to the ranch tomorrow so I can see if he's good enough for you."

You smiled, feeling a sense of relief that he wasn't angry or judgmental about your choice of spouse. "I would love that, Chucho. I think you'll like him."

"Then it's settled. You and Steve come visit us on the farm, and I'll make sure to have a big barbecue ready for you two," he said with a chuckle.

You laughed. "That sounds great, Chucho. Thank you so much."

He smiled. "Siempre, mi hija.”

“Is … eh… Javier going to be there?” you couldn't help but ask, apprehension creeping into your voice.

Chucho looked at you with understanding eyes. “I don’t know, mija. I’m sorry. But you have to talk to him someday, no?”

You nodded, not knowing what to respond.

A wave of anxiety washed over you. It had been 15 years since the fight that ended your friendship, and you had avoided any opportunity to see him again. But now, the possibility of seeing him was looming over you, and you weren’t sure if you were ready to face him. Since arriving to Laredo the memories of him have been haunting you and all the anger and hurt you tried to suppress resurfaced.

But there was this small part of you that longed for the familiarity of your old friendship, longed for him. You couldn't deny that you still loved him, despite all the time that had passed, despite all the heartbreak. Javier had your heart. He always did. Admitting the truth to yourself hurt more than you thought. You already forgave him a long time ago. You had let go of the hurt and anger and had come to terms with the fact that you were both young and foolish back then. But did he ever forgave you for leaving? What if he doesn’t care? Or never did? But even with all these doubts, your love for Javier hasn't faded over the years. It's been burning inside you, just waiting for a chance to be reignited. As you drive back to your house you can’t help but wonder if he still feels the same way about you, or if you are just a distant memory to him.
