I looked up from the CD case and turned off the music. What are the chances that it's the same Vic, He had talent in high school but what are the chances? I drive in silence, at this point I didn't even thinking about anything. When I reached my apartment building and saw Mark's car in the parking lot.

I walk up the stairs to my floor, when I opened my door there was Mark on the couch eating a bowl of cereal. To clear things up I had given Mark a key to my apartment after locking my keys in a few times, so now he comes and goes freely. I had never cared before but after my morning all I wanted to do was come home and sleep. " What the hell are you doing?" I yell at him. This took him by surprise, I could tell because of the way he looked up from his bowl. " I just came to see you yesterday I left and didn't get to say bye." he defended his actions. At this point I was just done with everything so I said "Whatever I'm going to bed. You better wash that bowl when you're done." I then retreated to my room were I just went to sleep.

Sleeping was something that I did went I didn't want to deal with the real world, my dreams let me escape. I ended waking up around 4 in the afternoon, I looked at my phone no messages or anything from Mark. I walked into the living room, yep no Mark. He had left and sure enough he had cleaned his bowl. At least he listens.

I end up laying around wondering what I should do with the whole Vic and Mark situations. When out of nowhere it was 6:30, I couldn't go to work Alex would ask about the CD. That's a conversation I just couldn't have right now. So I ended up calling in. After calling the hospital I called Mark. He didn't answer, So I got up and got ready. By got ready all I did was show brush my hair and teeth and put clothes on. I was just going to see Mark so I didn't need to look to nice.

I drove to Mark's house, to my disappointment he wasn't there. I then drove down the street to the bar he often goes to and sure enough his car was there. I searched the bar for him, I ended up finding him at a table he had one beer in hand just staring off. When he is upset he comes in and ordered a beer and just sit and think. He doesn't like drinking, even in college he would always be the DD.

"Mark" I started, but was cut off by him " Annabel I don't know what I did. I've been trying to think of what possible thing I did. Was it the whole leaving thing, I know the note was crap, but was it really that bad?" I didn't know what to so I didn't want to tell him why I was angry but he would believe me other wise.
"Mark, you didn't do anything, I just had a bad night on the floor" This wasn't a complete lie "I'm sorry I shouldn't have taken it out on you" I tried to apologize. "Okay I was just really up set I didn't know what was going on"
"Can we get out of here, I know you don't actually like it here." He knew I was right and got up leaving his beer on the table with a few dollars. We then left. "Your place or mine?" he asked "Yours" I didn't want to go home

We both drove our cars to his house and went in together. "I have cake in the kitchen if you want any" Mark said while going to the kitchen. "No I'm good" I said while sitting down on the couch. I pulled out my phone and saw I had a Facebook message, from no other than Alex. It read, "Hey Anna, hope you're okay. You didn't come in and I asked where you were and they said you called off. I guess you need a break, don't blame you. I hope it's okay that I look you up on here, too late now. Did you get the CD, I know you will love it. And thanks again for buying it for me it means a lot." I didn't reply I'll worry about it later. one problem at a time right?

"What you looking at?" Mark asked
"Nothing just Facebook, so what do you want to do?"
"I just want to sleep I'm going to go to bed, so if you want to stay you can I don't care." Mark said while walking down the hallway. This pretty much sums up our friendship, we hang out at the other one place while they are asleep or at work. I guess this gives me some time to figure out the Vic situation. "I'm using your laptop" I yell I knew Mark wouldn't care but I went ahead and told him.

After a good hour of googling and Facebook creeping I came to the concision that it was Vic. I felt somewhat proud of him. He made it. From the information I had gathered him and Mike started a band and has released 2 albums, He starts touring a month from now. I couldn't find an interview or anything where he talks about the inspiration for the song Besitos. The lyrics ''I'm tired of holding up your backup plans. Go down your list and be satisfied it's all you have." I've heard before
Wait I've said them, that's when the memory of San Francisco came back to me.

This chapter is some what a filler chapter.
