i didnt even bother knocking on the door as i knew it was just my dad.
i opened the door and see him rolling up items of clothing.
"bonita, i didn't know you were here" he says looking at me with a smile.
"nope, shut up and sit down cause its my turn to talk" i shutting him down.
"what?" he says acting clueless.
"sit" i demand in a calm voice and point to the couch behind him. he does as i asked and sighs.
"remember how excited you were for my quinces?" i say standing still near the door. he laughed and threw his head down reminiscing on that day.
"yeh i remember how i kept messing up the steps but you went with it." he comments.
"now why are you robbing elena of that experience?" i say making my voice increase in volume slightly
he scoffs and gets up going back to packing his suitcase.
"ella es mi nina, ella es no gay" he speaks after a short second of silences. (shes my little girl, shes not gay)
"si ella dice queue es gay entonces es gay, no hay nada que puedas hacer al respect" i reply slowly walking to sit on the couch. (if she says shes gay then shes gay, there's nothing you can do about it)
"esta no es quin es ella, es genial ser gay hoy en dia" he looks back at me, "yes because she wants to live the life of people tormenting and hating her before knowing anything about her" i say sarcastically. "I'm not joking Xo" he replies picking up his clothing and rolling it all up together. (this is not who she is, its like cool to be gay now days)
"and i didn't come here to argue. because this is not about you nor me, its for your daughter who you love. this quince is her day don't ruin it" i say.
"i cant support that stuff id rather her tell me shes pregnant" his comment made me stiffen.
"papi I'm not going to argue but for her sake come and get over your ego because this is not about you or anyone else other then my sister and your daughter" i get up with a huff and walk towards the doors.
"does the whole family know" i stopped and turned around closing the door.
"mami said shes only told a few people"
"good. don't tell anyone else" he replied
"i wont. because its not for me or anyone else to say"
he just scoffs and roles his eyes.
"its up to elena to decide who she wants to know" i pause before saying "but the one thing you get to decide is whether you're going to be there for your daughter" i turn and leave. i was wandering the halls of the building when i had a sudden surge of sickness. i run to closest plant and empty my guts into the soil.
hey guys sorry it was a short chapter.
