We face the front door and I climb one step and ring the buzzer for apartment number 6. Luis doesn’t press the one to his home, and I don’t press it for him. A minute later the door opens, and I push in the crystal door. I wait for him to make a motion, to say a word, but he does none. “Are you going up?” I ask, because there’s nothing else I can do. He walks in, and gives me a fainting smile. I can smell food wherever I turn my nose to, and feel the warmness once you are inside the building. We walk the first set of stairs and suddenly; I am facing apartment number 6. “You home!” Luis says rather happy which seems odd, I see him walking down the stairs again. “Hey! Where are you going? You live upstairs!” but I already know. He is going 3 blocks away to an old gray house that has all its windows broken and the door has to be rotten by now. Most people think is abandoned when they pass by it, but it’s not. In that house it’s where Luis lost its innocence and since then it became his fake haven. I look into his eyes trying to see the Luis I met 3 years ago, but that Luis isn’t there anymore. He gives me a blank stare, and turns and goes. His feet stomp in the marble floor, I still can smell his cologne, the door opens and then suddenly closes and I know I already lost him. I look at my door and I whisper, “Welcome Home!” Lisbeth Bueno ELLIS Preparatory Academy
