I Don't Want
to See You Go
By Alyson
Chapter 2
**Martin never left, and Pilar doesn't work for the Cranes. The
Cranes
put up much more of a believable front that they are a happy family. **
Luis opened the door to his apartment and threw his backpack, gym bag
and
lacrosse stick on the floor. He went into the kitchen and grabbed a
bottle
of water from the fridge.
He started down the hall when he bumped into
Hank..
"Hey, I thought I heard someone here. Come on, let's go!" Hank said
excitedly.
"Go where?" Luis asked.
"Beth is throwing this kick ass party tonight and we have to go!"
"Nah, you go ahead. I'm too tired to do anything."
"No, buddy, you have to come! You know she has the hots for you! And
maybe
this will get your mind off Sheridan." Luis cringed at the thought of
Beth
after him.
"Look, I just had a four hour practice where Coach was biting my head
off
because I was completely off today, and I just got home from the
library
after studying for 2 � hours. All I want to do now is take a cold
shower and
go to bed."
"That's so boring! I hate when you and Sheridan fight, you're always
in a
bad mood."
"Thanks for being so caring," Luis said sarcastically. Hank shrugged
and
dashed out the door.
Luis sighed and made his way to his room; he knew
Hank
was right. Every time he and Sheridan fought, which wasn't often but
when
they did it wasn't a pretty sight, he was miserable until they made up
again..
He was like that today. He hadn't heard from Sheridan in three days
and it
was killing him inside. He threw off his clothes and jumped in the
shower.
**Luis' flashback, 3 days ago**
Luis, I told you. I have to go," Sheridan said, looking in the mirror
and
fastening her earring. Luis was sitting on the bed with his arms
crossed.
"But I don't want you to!" he whined.
Sheridan turned to face him.
"But you know I have to."
"No, no you don't have to. You don't have to go on blind dates just
because
your father set them up for you."
"Is Mr. Lopez- Fitzgerald jealous?" she joked. She saw the anger in
his eyes
and stopped. She went over to the bed. "Yes, I do have to go. If I
don't
then my father will be suspicious of why and�"
"And what? He'll find out you have a boyfriend? What would be so bad
about
that Sheridan?" he said, getting off of the bed.
Sheridan sighed.
"Luis, we've been through this a million times. My father cannot know
about
us, he would go insane."
"Why? Because I'm not one of those rich society guys? I really don't
think
he would care that much as long as he knew how much I love you."
Sheridan
turned away from Luis and bit her bottom lip. 'I wish I could tell you
just
how horrible my family is Luis, but you wouldn't like it. You wouldn't
understand how bad it is. You wouldn't love me if you knew the family
that I
come from.
"I know my father Luis. He wouldn't allow it, no matter how much you
love
me."
"Now that's hard to believe Sheridan. Do you really think he would
stand in
your happiness?" Sheridan turned back to Luis, annoyed.
"Luis, look, I love you, but you have to believe me here. Just leave
it
alone."
"No Sheridan, I will not leave it alone! You're absolutely right, I am
jealous. You're going out with rich, successful guys every week when
you
should be here with me. I'm fed up with it!" Luis yelled.
Sheridan
was
taken aback by his tone, but only for a moment.
"God Luis, why can't you just understand this is something I have to
do?
You're acting like a child!" she yelled back, walking past him and into
the
living room.
Luis stomped after her.
"I'm acting like a child? Oh please, you're the one acting like a
little
girl who can't stand up to daddy!" Sheridan glared at him for a minute
then
snatched her purse off the table.
"Call me when you grow up Luis!" she said, storming out the front
door.
"Well don't be expecting that call anytime soon then!" he yelled back.
He
stomped back into his room and slammed the door, with no one to hear
him.
**End Flashback**
Luis turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist.
He
dried off, threw a pair of boxers on, and fell onto his bed. He hugged
his
pillow tightly. 'I wish I knew what you were thinking right now
Sheridan.'
~*~ In Paris ~*~
Sheridan looked out the window and sighed. 'I wish you were here
Luis�but you don't want to be here with me�' she thought sadly.
