I remember when Alondra, or Aly, as I liked to call her, but she liked to call me Sal-y as well...of course i didnt like it, anyway, I remember when Aly told me about a guy she me while paying a parking ticket, they eventually became a couple, and she would tell me about thier relationship, the good and the bad. She once told me that she thought he looked like Ben Afleck, so from then on we would refer to him as Ben when his name would come up. It was only after today when I was reading those old emails that i came across his real name.
After school today I went to work, i had to change in the restroom though, and whilst i was in there for some reason i started wondering how they guy I work with knows Aly, then I wondered what his name was. Today was going to be the first day I worked with him. I got dressed and headed to sign in, and then i was going to ask his name, but when i signed in his name was above mine. It was the same name as her boyfriend, Rolando. I then realized who he was.
I went outside and he was sitting with his head down on the counter, i sat next to him and told him i didnt know who he was until just then. He told me he was her boyfriend, the guy we refered to as Ben. It was such a strange moment. Turns out they had broken up awhile back and he hadnt spoken to her in two weeks. She had cut his hair.
Every day this world of ours gets smaller.
We got along good, and we spent a lot of time talking about Alondra. I think it helped the both us deal with her loss. He left early to go to the Rosary. Tommorrow morning is her funeral, but i can not bring myself to go. I dont know what people will think because i dont go, but i believe she will understand, and i will go visit her after tommorrow.
I hope tommorrow when i wake up, this will have all been a bad dream...
