Chapter 1 ~ The Past
9 Years Ago
Come on Enrique , I gotta go back home . I thought to myself . His parents would beat him if they knew I was in his room .
As his door opens I hid in his closet just in case it was his parents came home and came in here to see if he was sleeping .
Holding my breath I felt like the world when I heard a gun click .
"Él no está aquí, jefe. ¿Qué quieres que haga con el problema?"(He's not here boss . What do you want me to do about the problem ?)
My breath hitches , which makes me cover my mouth .
I couldn't here what his boss says but I knew it wasn't good .
The guy continued to walk around the room and sits at the desk . At the angle I'm at I could see him clearly .
I had never been nervous in my entire life . But now I couldn't help but think I was gonna die today .
The big guys phone goes off and he answered is to fast . His foot was tapping the ground and he was clenching the gun with his other hand .
It doesn't take long for him to leave , and as he does he closes the door . I wait until I could hear a car pulling away .
Crawling out of the closet , I grab my bag and belongs throwing one of Enrique's hoodies on and dart out of the window .
I knew I shouldn't have been there , I told him I had to go home it was getting late . He seemed to be pushing the limit on how many times my mother would let me be out .
Especially on this side of town . I wasn't even suppose to be over here . But I had begged to be able to go to my fathers on the weekend and holidays if it was okay with him .
He quickly agreed and hadn't complained or told my mother I was out all hours of the night .
I knew my father knew because he would always have a plate of food for me in the office. Or still inside the oven .
As I grabbed the spare key in the pocket of a rock we carved . I slid the key in and rushed inside .
Glancing at the clock I notice it was almost 2 in the morning .
I couldn't believe that Enrique had left me for 4 hours . With the rushed promise that he'll be back and we could fall asleep in each other's arms until I had to sneak out .
Such bullshït I thought to myself . Even at 13 I knew boys always had empty promises . Even the boys at my stupid preppy school .
Only wanted one thing . And that was to see who could get into as many girls pants as possible. Even at a young age all they can think about is sex.
Walking into the kitchen I notice a sticky note on the microwave.
Acacia, Tammi y yo fuimos a ver a su madre que fue llevada al hospital más temprano hoy. Llama me cuando veas esto. -Papá
Glancing at the time and bit my lip I knew it was a late call ,it was late but if I don't he'll worry .
Grabbing the house phone I dialed the only number I knew by heart .
"Hello." He sounded like he just woke up .
"Papi , Acabo de llegar a casa, perdón por llamar tan tarde que vi tu nota adhesiva."(I just got home, sorry for calling so late I saw your sticky note.)
"Acacia ?"
"Yes ?"
"es tarde cariño" (it's late sweetie)
"I know Papá, I just getting home . I'm sorry . Get some sleep mama is picking me up in the morning."
"Okay , get some sleep ."
"Goodnight ."
"Night Papá."
Hanging up the phone I went to my room and threw myself on my bed . Pretty soon I was out like a light . Praying that Enrique was alright and that I'll see him really soon .
