Best friends forever (COMPLETE)

Part 15

That night, I was in the car with my dad driving home. "So Valentina and Maria got rides?" "Yeah." I can't believe I lost everything. "Hey why don't we stop by the hospital tomorrow and you can say hi to your mom" "okay." That night I got home and cried myself to sleep. I hadn't cried myself to sleep in so long. I lost all my friends because of her. Then I was so angry! Angry at myself angry at Cruz! If she never came along, I would still have friends, and they would never had turned against me!

The next day me and papá went to the hospital. "We're visiting Alma Torres" my dad said, "oh um I don't know how to say this- Alma passed away early this morning." My whole life just shattered. I lost my friends, and my mom...died. My dad had broke down crying, "what do you mean she passed away!?" "Sir please calm down" "are you kidding?! My wife just died?!" I just stood there in silence while my dad was screaming and crying. I was so shocked I didn't feel anything. "Sir please calm down, it's alright" "alright?! My wife died!!" The woman said something into a walki talki and the security guards came and walked us out. In the car my dad was still crying. I had started crying too, not just because of my mom, but because my whole life was falling apart. Just 2 weeks ago my life was perfect, then everything came crashing down.

A few weeks later papá got a hospital bill in the mail. I stood in the hallway as he broke down. "How can the make me pay all this money when they just let her die?!" I hated seeing him like this. Papá had to work so many jobs, we were already poor and he had to work even harder. Even I kept doing my jobs to help.

Over the next few years I was lonely. At school I'd sit by myself, eat lunch by myself. No one even wanted to look at me because they knew what happened. Eventually news got around about my mom and I got even more weird stares. Graduation was the worst papá had to work so as people hugged and took pictures with their family, I stood there on the side and cried. I even saw Marco and his parents, the hugged him and told him how proud they were. I saw Val and Diego there parents meeting and tell them there proud. I saw Pablo and Maria too, there parents tell them there proud and all taking a picture together. And I just stood there. It was the worst day of my life. People kept looking at me and giving me a nasty look. Then I saw Cruz, "funny seeing you here, all alone" "f**k off" I said wiping my eyes, "aw your mommy couldn't make it, oh wait she died" "I SAID F**K OFF!" I yelled. "Cruz!" Marco called, "oh gotta go" she said and giggled. I hated this. I just wanted to die!
