Natalia walked down the stairs of the club and wandered over to the bar. She saw Ander drinking and immediately sat next to him.

She smiled "Hey, handsome. How are you doing?" Ander laughed at Natalia's nickname for him "I'm doing alright. I might go home soon."

Natalia's eyes widened "What? I just got here. You invited me, remember?"

Ander nodded and put his drink on the counter "Fine. I'll stay a little longer. Just because I asked you to come."

Natalia smiled "Perfect." She then called over Omar who looked extremely tired "I'll have a beer, please."

Omar nodded and he turned around to prepare the drink. Natalia reached into her bag and found her phone.

She placed it on the counter and sighed whilst looking around the room "It's busy in here tonight. This blackout party better be all the shit."

Ander giggled "Yeah, it gives the chance for anyone to do what they like in the dark."

Natalia slowly nodded her head and she sighed "It was either this or look after my sister tonight anyway. My mother is planning on going out with her boy toy."

Ander looked directly at the girl "Is he that bad?" Natalia looked down "Let's just say he doesn't know when to quit it."

Omar placed the beer on the counter "Here you go."

Omar placed the credit card scanner in front of Natalia and she used her phone to scan it.

Natalia put her phone back in her bag and drank a sip of her beer. She pulled away from it and smirked "This is the good life."

Ander laughed and shook his head "You're on something." Natalia shrugged "I probably am."

Natalia then stood up "I'm gonna go and mingle. I'll catch you later." Ander nodded and Natalia wandered off through the crowd.

She stopped when she saw Valerio smirking at her from across the room, sipping his drink.

She crossed her arms and slowly walked over to him.

Valerio put his drink down on the first table he saw and motioned towards the bathroom "Can we talk?"

Natalia was shocked at Valerio's seriousness but nodded anyway "Yeah, sure."

The two walked over to the bathroom that was now conveniently empty.

Valerio closed the door and Natalia leaned against the sink. "So, what do you wanna talk about?"

Valerio sighed deeply and then turned to look at Natalia "I'm going to London with Polo and Cayetana after we graduate."

Natalia looked at Valerio with wide eyes. She couldn't believe what he was saying.

"How are you gonna afford it?" Valerio smiled slightly "I've been busy making money the fun way."

Natalia rolled her eyes, knowing what Valerio was referring to and she then scratched her head nervously "Are you sure this is what you want?"

Valerio sighed "I don't want you to be sad, Nat. I'm doing this because the best thing for me right now."

Natalia looked down "Whatever makes you happy. I can't stop you, Valerio."

He then rubbed his nose and looked into Natalia's eyes "I can't stop thinking about you, Natalia. I know I sound crazy but...we always talked about leaving the country together after we graduated and it made me think that maybe going with them isn't the right path for me."

Natalia rushed over to him and grabbed his face "Yes, but we were kids then. I barely knew what graduation was back then, let alone to talk about what we were gonna do after. Don't plan your life around me, Valerio. If this makes you happy then go with them."

Valerio smiled "I am happy...but I could be happier...with you."

Natalia didn't know what to say and she dropped her arms down from his face "I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. And then you left me and so I wanted to hate you and to cut you out of my life...but it's been the hardest thing I've ever done. I still want to spend the rest of my life with you, but you've already changed your mind about me. You've built a relationship with Polo and Cayetana and I can't be jealous or mad at you for it. I just want you to be happy."

Valerio stepped closer to Natalia "I'll end it if you want me to. Just say the words."

Natalia huffed "I'm not gonna make this decision for you. It's your life after all. The only thing I know is after I graduate I'm getting the hell away from this place and my family. It's up to you if you wanna go with me."

Valerio stepped back and rubbed his face with his hands in order for him to think.

Natalia took this as her cue to leave and so she swung the door open and quickly left the room.

She accidentally bumped into Polo and his eyes widened "Sorry, Natalia." Natalia fixed her straight hair and then scowled at the boy "Are you sorry for bumping into me or killing Marina?"

Polo looked at her blankly and she pointed at him "Touch me again and I'll break your hand, creep. Got it?" Polo then walked off hurriedly.

Natalia folded her arms and stumbled over to a high table and she sat next to Lu who was nervously stirring her large drink.

Lu noticed Natalia and smiled falsely at her "Hola, querida. Are you okay?"

Natalia shrugged "Well, your brother just told me that he's going to London with a murderer and a liar and I didn't take so well, so right now...I'm far from okay."

Lu answered sarcastically "Good for him. He'll feel right at home."

Natalia frowned when she noticed Lu's stiff body language "Is everything okay?"

Lu didn't answer as her gaze was focused on something behind her. Natalia turned around and saw Nadia talking with Malik.

She turned back around and shook it off, not wanting to get involved in any drama.

She then stood up and patted her dress "I think I'm gonna leave."

Lu's eyes widened "No, please don't go. The blackout hasn't happened yet." Coincidently, Natalia then heard the DJ start to countdown and so she sat back down watching as the whole crowd chanted with him "Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!"

The lights then turned off and Natalia looked into the crowd to see silhouettes of kissing and dancing teenagers.

She looked over to the side of the club and could roughly point out a tall curly haired boy dancing with a boy and a girl.

She immediately recognised it to be Valerio kissing Polo and then Cayetana.

Natalia stood up abruptly and crossed her arms. She walked out of the club, not looking back.
