"Hello?"

"¿Que le dije?" Angelica perked up at hearing her mom's voice. "Siempre, siempre se la pasa en la cama. Es bien floja." [translate: What did I tell you? She always, always, spending her time in bed. She's very lazy.]

"Mom, it's 8 am," Angelica groaned, rubbing her eyes as she sat up, irritated. "Do you need something?"

"Hi, Victoria," the girl furrowed her eyebrows at hearing the new voice before remembering that her mom has been going to therapy. "Sorry for disturbing you, but I'm your mom's therapist as of lately and we have been talking a lot about, you know, your past and the hardships the family has gone through. But, I also seemed to notice... some details about you that are worrying to me, especially, and how that may have affected you."

"Oh, yeah," Angelica dozed off, resting her phone by her ear. "Yeah, I went to therapy because of that woman there. Really great therapist I got, too."

"Would you rather speak on the phone or in person?"

"Do I have to be in the same room as her?" Angelica asked, hearing her mom about to speak. Her therapist shushed her. "No. If you want, we can talk in person. Your mom's next appointment is two days from now at 9 am. Maybe you can come with her then and we can speak without her in the room."

"Mhm," Angelica hummed, eyes closing. "Okay, now I'm going to hang up. I'm going to sleep, very excited for therapy, woohoo! Bye."

"Bye, Victoria. It was nice to meet you."

"You, too. Bye."

Angelica cursed the woman under her breath as soon as she hung up. Now, she couldn't sleep! She couldn't sleep at all. Gumbo was also staring at her, clearly irritated just like his owner for being rudely woken up.

"Ang!"

Angelica groaned at hearing her sister's loud voice, her irritation growing.

"What?"

Genesis came into room, phone in hand, all dressed up for work. "I heard Mom. Did her therapist talk to you, too?"

"Is she talking to all of us?"

"Yeah," Genesis snorted. "She wanted to speak to me but I told her I was okay. She called your stupid older brother and he was being a sarcastic little shit and told her that he didn't care and hung up. She talked to Rose and Jose and they said they weren't affected much by it but that you are the most affected."

"I'm the black sheep of the family, what can I say?" Angelica stretched, a smirk on her lips. "Anyway, I have to watch a movie. I want to cry, but I can't cry, so I'm hoping Home will make me cry. Especially when Oh supposedly dies at the end."
