"What took you so long". My Uncle asks. "Well, I uh... took some pictures". "Pictures of what?" Manny asks looking at me. "Pictures of the moon". I said sounding stupid. I can't take pictures of the moon from where I am.

Every one looks at me with a what the look. Then Nina speaks up "You know you can't actually.." I cut her off. " I know I can't take pics of the moon, I wanted to see if it would work". Every one stares for a while.

"Ok, let's eat, we can let this spaghetti get cold" Uncle John laughs. "Right" I say as I let out a forced smile. Manny smiling made me feel sick.

Dinner was over, I grabbed Nina and Nita to the room. "Liz, what gives!". I close Nita's mouth.

"I have information". I say pulling out my phone. I show them the video. Their jaws drop.

"Is this real?". Nita asked. "OMG i can't believe it, she called the child services on us!" Nina shouts. "Shhhh, we don't want Manny coming up here".

"But how will she do that to us?,we trusted her, we let her into our hearts, why would she do such a despicable thing?" I leave to sit on my bed while Nita was resting on our drawer.

"Well the only thing we have to do now is to show Uncle the video". I say swinging my phone.

"Is that really easy for you"Nina asks walking up to me.

I get up my bed, get her a disappointed look"What do you mean?". "I mean Manny did something really bad and you want to expose her..." I cut her off. "So what!". "But, what about Uncle John, he's been taking care of us for the past eight years, the past six months he met Manny, and he was really happy, and we can't take all that happiness away, at least, let's keep this in". What she says really makes sense, I didn't think of that. What was in my mind was exposing her, I never really thought about what would happen to Uncle John. I was being selfish.

"You know Nina's right, we should also think about Uncle". Nita says coming close to me. "Yeah". I take a deep breath. "I wouldn't release the video, but that doesn't mean that I would start liking her, I will still keep my eye on her, I can't handle it when we get separated". We all pull in for a hug. I love this girls.
