Narrator POV

"Mami, how did you and papi fall in love?" the little girl asked

"It's a long story and you have to go to bed" her mother spoke

"Please, I'm not even tired" the little girl pleaded

"Fine. It was..."

"Ms. Soto! Ms. Soto!"

Blossom got out of her head, remembering where she was. "Yes, I'm sorry. I was in another world." She laughed

"They're about to say the verdict" the guard said

"Ok, I'll be there in a second" she half smiled

She couldn't believe she was doing this. Blossom's father had did some things after the death of her mother. He became abusive and manipulative. She had enough.

Everyone headed back into the court room. Jasiel, Blossom's brother, was already sitting at the table with their lawyer. In the other table their father, handcuffed to the table with teary eyes.

"Are you okay?" Jasiel asked Blossom

"I'm fine. Let's just pray that he goes away." Blossom said grabbing her brother's hand and giving it a squeeze

The jury walked in. One of them handed the paper to the clerk. He took the paper and started saying.

"The jury has reached a verdict. They find the defendant guilty of child abuse."

The room filled with cheers. Blossom's father cried as they took him away. She stared. Not knowing what to do. Yes, she was happy to get rid of him but he was still her dad.

"Jasiel we gotta get going. We have a long drive to abuelita's house."

"Why the sad face?" Blossom asked her brother

"I'm not sad"

"Listen I get that you don't want to leave Chicago. But it's better this way" Blossom said

"I know. I just wish things weren't this way, you know?" Jasiel said and Blossom nodded. "Can we stop to pee?"

"Bro you gotta be fucking with me?! We just stopped thirty minutes ago!" Blossom yelled

"I didn't have to go thirty minutes ago!" Jasiel yelled back

"We are a few minutes away, can you wait?"

"I'm this close to pissing in your car seats" he pinched his fingers together

"You're so lucky that there's a corner store right there." Blossom laughed

They stopped at a corner store. Jasiel ran to the bathroom, while Blossom looked for her jacket. She noticed a guy with ginger like hair and beard talking with a dude.

Now a few minutes before Blossom came, they were having their own conversation.

"So is Ashtray in the back?" The dude asked

"Yeah, you know the way"

As the boy walked away, Fez had noticed Blossom pulling up in her car and then walking into the store. He thought she was pretty. He followed her in with the blunt still in his mouth.

"Go to the car, I'll be out in a minute." Blossom said to Jasiel

"Fine but don't take to long. We got things to do" Jasiel joked making Blossom roll her eyes

Blossom got her stuff and made her way to checkout. "Hi" she said to Fezco

"Sup, I'm Fezco" he introduced himself

"I'm Blossom"

"𝙱𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚘𝚖? 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚜 𝚖𝚊𝚍 𝚏𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛" Fez thought while Blossom thought the same

"So, you new around here?" Fez asked handing Blossom her stuff and she just nodded. "Why would you move here?"

As Blossom was about to say something, her little brother came back in. "Dude come on! Abuelita just called and asked where we at!"

"Ok, I'm coming!" Blossom yelled. "It was nice meeting you Fezco" she smiled

"Nice meeting you, too" he said running to Ashtray about this girls name
