Analia Rosalie was born into the home of a psychopath. Her dad Roberto was the worst human being to roam the earth. He constantly put her in harms way when inviting his "friends" over and abused her physically and emotionally and has even raped her...
I spend the next morning playing and watching the kids by myself because Alejandro left. We have played tag in his humongous house, made mud pies in the spectacular backyard garden, and have watched Moana when I look up at the time and see that it's 3:00. I'm supposed to meet Dalton at 4:30 so I call the babysitter Alejandro has been letting me use in a rush and sprint up to my room to get myself together.
I take a shower, throw on some black jogging pants and a striped crop top then start to make the 5 mile long trek to my house.

The walk to my house was excruciating even though i'm in good shape because Florida weather in June is like sitting in a sauna. Im sweating profusely as I walk up to my house and see Dalton walking up to the door getting ready to knock. He looks really handsome even in just his casual blue jeans and black T-shirt. "DALTON!!" I yell.
He whips around looking for the source of the noise when he spots me on the sidewalk. He jogs up to me, smiles, and tries to hug me but I dodge it because my clothes are literally drenched in sweat and I'm pretty sure I don't smell the best.
He frowns.
"I would hug you Dalton but I stank and I'm covered in sweat."
"I don't care." He says while he picks me up and spins me around.
Now it's very rare for me to be mortified but in that moment I wanted to dig my own grave because he had his nose right in my pit stain which I am certain probably smells like onions and garlic right now.
Once he finally puts me down my face is beat red. "I thought you were gonna ditch me." He breaths out. "When I didn't see you in school and you didn't answer my texts I assumed you were ignoring me."
I shake off my embarrassment as I say "Oh no no I would never do that I just had something going on. I have construction going on inside my house so we can't go in there but we can still go somewhere else right??" I spew starting to walk down the sidewalk. Dang I'm a good liar, I almost convinced myself.
"Yea of course it's ok, but umm where are we going??"
"Well I sort of haven't figured that out yet and I was hoping you could help me."
"Don't look at me! I have no idea what to do. I just moved here."
"Your telling me that you've been in Florida for about a month and you still haven't been anywhere!"
"Well I hate to break it to you but I'm a bit of a loner."
"I am too." I laugh. "I don't know why I'm judging you when I've lived here all my life and haven't gone much of anywhere." I say thinking back to the life I had when Roberto was in it.
"Well we can both change that together." He says.
"Alright. Ummm ouuu how about we go go-cart racing!!" I squeal. "I've always wanted to go but I've never had the chance."
He looks at me in amusement and shrugs "Why not."
He orders an Uber on his phone because I don't have mine and we make our way to the go-cart place.
The place looks awesome with its beach theme, and all the different little attractions. They have mini golf, trampolines, rock climbing and more lined up all outside with palms trees surrounding everything. I notice It's really crowed with a whole lot of people as we struggle to make our way Through the line to get in. We are lead to the booth to pay for tickets and then told to wait in line to get on the go-carts.
"I hope you know that your ass is gonna be left in the dust." I say looking out at the carts zooming by on the elaborate track with barely contained excitement.
He turns his head sideways and looks at me with a smirk "oh honey. . .you need to let go of that delusion right now."
"I've been driving since I was 12 years old Dalton I'm gonna beat you. You can drop this false sense of bravado, it's ok to be afraid to lose to a girl."
"Onion pits just stop. It hurts me to hear people that refuse to believe in reality."
My jaw drops and the embarrassment starts to creep back in. "Shut the hell up! you try walking in 105 degree weather without sweating." I mumble
"What.ever.major.loser." He says while doing the the W,M, and L symbols with his hands on his forehead.
"Oh puh-lease." I drawl dramatically "Talk to the hand." I say putting my hand in his face going along with his playful demeanor.
At this point he can't take it anymore and he bursts out laughing. The people in line gives us weird looks but when I return the looks they give me by tenfold they start to mind their own business again.
After a couple more minutes of us arguing it's finally our turn to get into the carts.
I skip with untamed eagerness because I have never experienced child like stuff like this before. I I quickly pick a pink cart right in the front row and Dalton picks a red one right next to me. The workers play a audio on the speakers explaining the rules and how to drive while I bounce in my seat. They begin a countdown on when we can go when the audio is over and they have everyone buckled in.
"Prepare to lose babe." Dalton says.
"Pshtt. Yea right in your dreams surfer boy." I say speeding off as the countdown ended. He wasn't even paying attention to the countdown so he's behind me as we start the race. There's a tight corner on the first turn and I turn it perfectly blocking Dalton off as he tries to get in front of me. I hear him yell 'shit' as someone else from behind him accidentally bumps into the back of his car. He veers off a little but manages to get back on track. I'm the most competitive person ever so I silently thank the person who bumped into him because now I'm going to win by a long shot.
I spend half of the race In front of everyone when out of nowhere I hear a engine coming up behind me. I try to turn around to see if it's Dalton but I can't because if I do I will crash into one of the many palm trees on the side of the track so I just speed up and hope he won't catch up. Suddenly the sound of the engine appears to the right of me. I look over and I nearly veer off the whole course into the grass at the sight of the person in the cart.
Alejandro.
"You think you can escape without me knowing rose??"
