Luciana POV

I just moved back to Colombia. I lived here a few years, until I was 2. Then my dad got a job back in America and we moved there. We stayed there for 12 years as we never really had a reason to come back, until now. My grandma, my Abuela, is sick. My dad is American while my mom is Colombian.

My dads buisness in America was thriving and he didn't want to move back to Colombia, but my mom needed to go home, so she could help her mom and she wanted to be with her. They couldn't come to an agreement on what to do, which lead to many late night fights. Which lead to a divorce. The divorce took a toll on our family, but not as big as the decision we had to make.

Flashback to a few months ago

"Kids, come down here" Ma called down the stairs. My brother and sister went down to see our parents sitting on opposite sides of the room with my older sister already on the couch. We sat down, and looked at our parents.

"As you know, the reason of our divorce was because of the distance, and figuring out where to live," Dad started. I knew where this was going and I didn't like it. Ma and Dad were still friends, so they got along, but they weren't a couple.

"And we hate to do this to you, but as you know, your father's business is going very well so he has to stay here, but my Mom, your Abuela, just came down ill and she's all alone so I need to go to her. " Mom told us. "So we're giving you guys a choice, come with me to Colombia or stay with your Dad here in America."

We were silent. This was going to break our family, we had to choose between our mom and dad.

"I'm staying here, I want to finish college out here," Mariana, my 19 year old sister said. "I'm sorry Mama."

"It's alright," Ma said, although you could see in her eyes she was sad, she expected this though.

"I have more friends here, starting over, especially when I'm so close to finishing highschool, it would be difficult," Diego, my 17 year old brother told her.

"I wanna go with Mom," Izzie said. She was only 10 and preferred our mom a bit more, so like Mariana's choice, hers was expected.

I loved my parent's equally and it hurt knowing I'd have to chose one, of course there will be visits, but it won't be the same. Despite this, I think I'm going with Ma. First off, I love traveling and I've heard Colombia is very pretty. Second, I didn't really fit in here. It's not like everyone hated me at school, but it just felt weird. I didn't feel much as if I belonged. I didn't have any best friend. I had a few normal friends, or maybe aquaintences.

"Luci?" Mom looks at me. "What's your choice?"

"I'll go with you Mom," I look up at them. I could see the sadness in my brother's eyes. We we're always super close and I told him a lot. He was more aware of my school situation than the rest of my family so he assumed I wouldn't go with him.

Later he came up to me and gave me a big hug. "I'm gonna miss you Mariquita (ladbybug)," he tells me.

"I'll miss you to Di," I whisper back. Suddenly I feel more arms around us and see Mariana hugging us, which she doesn't do often. It's not that she doesn't like us, she just isn't one who prefers physical touch. Finally I feel one more hand on my back and look to the side to see Izzie.

We break and we all have red eyes.

"Please visit whenever you can," I tell my two older siblings. I know it would be easier for them to visit us as Mari is technically an adult and she and Diego can get on a plane and visit us.
