- No, I already told you, it's not as easy as you want it, understand, I can't stand it, I don't want him near me, please, don't do this to me, her eyes at that moment looked like glass, the tears threatened to come out, although her remained strong it was her father who was in front of him.
Everything was silence in that room, only their breathing was heard, she Alana began to get impatient, her father even bothered to see her in the eyes, he remained on his back, static in that place for a few minutes more
Alana was going to speak again but was interrupted, her father finally spoke, but his back was turned
- It is not a choice, I told you, we are bankrupt, you don't want your mother to worry about it, do you? Remember that you have enough with your work and the fact that your grandmother is dying, she released those words like a simple confession, and although Alana loved her grandmother she knew that she did not have much time, it hurt to hide the situation from her mother but her Grandmother had asked them, they did not want more burdens on their mother
Her mind wanders between all these things, her mother, her grandmother, Rigoberto, the companies, her father and how much had changed since that bad business in Philadelphia that forced them to move, and finally, and although she was already assimilating it, her tricky mind thought about Sofia, and in how one morning she woke up not wanting to remain invisible to her eyes
- and good ? , the voice of her father flooded the room again, taking her out of her thoughts about her neighbor, ... -You are not going to say anything, or is it that you want us all to end badly because of an absurd whim than the girl was given
-it is not a whim, he is not a good boy, well he is controlling, manipulative, you have not been even a few hours with him ... she let out a resigned sigh because she knew that her father would not care about his reasons.
-well, just for mom, she does not deserve this, or worry more, she has enough to be paying your debts, she could not say anything else because she felt the burning in her cheeks
- Do not disrespect me, here I continue to command, your mother helps me it is true but that is what couples do, as Rigoberto does with you and I do not want any more excuses, more complaints, or for his father to call me to tell me that you have been rude or what are you avoiding, are we clear?
Alana still processed that her father had slapped her, never in her 16 years of life had he laid a hand on her, she really did not recognize the man in front of her, her father would have stayed in Philadelphia, perhaps or it was just bad business he's had lately, she needed to reorganize his ideas, everything was getting out of hand
-I said we are clear, this time her father stared at her, but she did not have those eyes of love, and understanding as when she was a child, now it was only empty, sad, greedy
- I understood, now I need to update me on my classes, could you leave me alone for a while
- Good, but Rigoberto will come to look for you at 8, you will go out with him and fix the problems you have caused, I need that capital daughter you must understand, he approached her and tried to hug her but Alana only stayed there, standing in the middle of her wanting to wake up from the nightmare that her life was becoming, her father put a kiss on her hair and left her room, leaving Alana alone at last so that her tears would come out in peace
________________________________________________________________________________
On the other side of the window you could see everything that was happening in the Hansen house, Alana crying, her father arguing with her, she didn't understand why she had hit her but now she wanted to be there with her, but how she would do it, she had told her to the blue-eyed girl who would not call her again, her mind was in a mess, she wished she hadn't seen anything but at the same time she was grateful to be so exact in the moments. sHe went down the stairs in search of a glass of water and she found her mother in the kitchen, who gave him a smile and when she saw the worried face of her daughter, she sat down and made a sign to her daughter to follow her
- What's up ? have you argued with alana? , her mother was very sweet when she spoke to her, she always managed to make her feel better
- no, no, we do not speak well not until now, I understand myself ma, her words came out with such congruence that her mother smiled because seeing her little girl so in love was one of the stages she dreamed of enjoying and the best thing was that it was her councilor and friend
- Well, I want to understand you, tell me what happens? , yesterday you arrived in a bad mood, you did not go to your music classes, you did not come down to dinner and today you barely went to school
-well, I've only argued with her, but I can't stand hers, her fool's boyfriend, I wanted to continue but her mother already had an accusing look for her
-It's not what you think, I'm not jealous, she's just a fool and she seems to enjoy her company, you understand, I got angry and I told her that I would not speak to her again, the latter was said in a whisper but still the mother of she heard
- What do you say ?
- You've heard it, don't look at me like that, it's okay if I got mad, but I didn't know I was dating that fool and then he comes to let me know in his own way and I don't know, if now I was in my room and I could see on the other side of the window how she was arguing with her father, she looked sad and she has been crying, when her father left her room, she wanted to talk to it I had the phone in my hands but I remembered what I said and she must be upset, I don't know what to do, she put her two hands on her head as a sign of frustration, her mother approached her and wrapped her in her arms,
- Why don't you send her a message, so you can see if she wants to talk to you or calls from my cell phone so she'll answer you if she's upset with you, tell her you've changed your mind, invite her to spend the afternoon at home, dad won't be there and I'll go to see aunt lena, do you think
her mother was the best, she would not know what to do the day she was not there, she came out of her mother's embrace and kissed her cheeks
-Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are the best in the world, when she was about to run to her room she remembered that she forgot something
-emmm, your phone, please, she reached out her hand and gave her mother a smile
- Go, run, I'll go fix myself, behave well and it was the last thing I hear, because he climbed the stairs as fast as she could once she closed the door of her room she prepared to dial the number she wanted to answer, the phone rang one, two, three times, when I was going to hang a voice, I heard the other side
- Hello ? , I couldn't believe it, it was her, it was her sweet you, her on the other side of the line
- Hello? Well if there's nobody there I'll hang up
-no ,, no, no, don't hang up, wait please, her words came out so fast that she didn't have time to formulate something more coherent, I hear Alana's laugh on the other side and her face changed to confusion, Why was he laughing? ,
- Do not be angry, I knew it was you, that is, your mother never calls me and the numbers are registered
- I did not know, or rather I had forgotten, I'm sorry I must seem a clumsy
- a little, and tell me why you call me, I thought you didn't want to talk to me
- I ... that is, yes, but I have changed my mind
- Well, that is good news, she could listen to her usual Alana to the beautiful girl who one day came tired from so much distance
- Do you want to come home, that is, you can come for a while, have that coffee you wanted or we can go out somewhere, mom will go out and I said nothing else because Alana had already hung up, she was wrong, she said something wrong, she knew that it was a bad idea to say that their parents would not be
- Well sofia, you do everything right, I put a pillow on her face, while she listened to her mother say that she was leaving, she took the headphones out of her pants and connected them to her mp3, when her doorbell rang, her mother was sure I forgot something
I'm coming, you always forget things she screamed from the stairs, and when she opened the door her face changed
