I wake up feeling groggy and my head pounding. I wince at the brightness of the room and groan. I feel a warm body lying next to me and when I lift my head I see Veronica sleeping peacefully.
She must've got me into bed while I was drunk, that would explain the major hangover. I sit up from the bed, still wincing as I pad my way to the kitchen. I grab the container of Advil and toss in two pills before downing it with water.
"Hey, honey," My mom yawns as she walks into the kitchen.
"Hey," I answer back finishing my cup of water.
"So I've been needing to tell you and Catalina something, where is she by the way?" She asks and I remember the text I got from her staying at a guy's house.
"Uh I think she and Veronica are doing something in her room, she is staying over."
"Well she'd like it better if you broke the news to her then," She says and I raise my brow.
"About?"
"Well, we are having a family reunion today,"
"And? I love your family,"
"Included your dad." She says and I fall silent.
My dad left my mom when we were little, he left her with little to nothing, so basically, I and Catalina hate him and haven't really seen him since. He has tried reaching out to Cataline a few years back and me a few weeks ago but we ignore him.
"Just please don't lash out at him?" She pleads and I nod. First time to pick Catalina up and tell her the news without her yelling in my face.
