"We're together"- Robin Arellano

Chapter 1: It's Rosa

-"WE'RE ALMOST THERE ROSA!" my mom informed me, I looked through the window of my mother's car, I wondered what kind of mess was I going to find in Denver. After my father passed away my mom decided to leave behind our old memories with him, start something new. Honestly I was worried, my mom seemed stressed and she was drinking more these days, she was never there. "What are you thinking honey?" she asked me as she parked in front of our new house."Oh nothing" I said as I smiled at her and got out of the car. I grabbed my bags and entered my new "home", I didn't know what to think. It seemed like a normal old house, I went upstairs and unpacked in my new bedroom. It was a sad cloudy day but I felt like walking, I wanted to get to know my new living environment. "Bye mom, see you later" I said as I walked out. "Be careful, see you!" she said folding some clothes. The road was empty, no one was walking, I observed the different houses till I got to a baseball field, no one was there, not even one living sign. I was starting to think I was alone, that was stupid but oh well. I sat on one of the seats and zipped up my sweatshirt, it was getting cooler. I just stuck myself looking at the field, thinking about the next day, what would people say about me at school and a thousand more worries. It was very peaceful there, no one screaming and running around, just me and my thoughts. "Who the fuck are you?" my peace came to and end, I turned to where the voice came from. There was a long haired boy wearing a bandana who was a little taller than me, he started to walk over to where I was sat. "Oh I'm sorry, I'm new here...I'm Rosa, Rosa Santeularia" I answered kind of freaked out, he looked tough enough to beat the shit out of me. "What are you doing here on a Sunday? Nobody is playing, the match was yesterday" he said getting closer. "Just getting to know this place...Who are you?" I asked a little more confident. "Robin Arellano, your surname is Spanish?" he asked as he sat down next to me. "Yup, my dad was Spanish..." I said looking down. "Was?" he asked raising his eyebrows. "I don't think it's non of you're business..." I said faking a smile. "Okay *dramática" he said patting my back. "You fucking speak Spanish?!" I said looking at him. "Yeah *linda" he sarcastically said winking at me. "Shut up bandana boy" I said laughing. "Okay Rosie" he said teasing. "It's Rosa you idiot" I said quite annoyed, the thing is...my father called me like that. Suddenly a memory popped into my head, me dressed as a princess when I was 4 and my dad playing tag; "Rosiee I've got you *mi niña" he said laughing, "Almost papá" I said escaping and falling into the ground, "The tickle monster is here" he said approaching me, he started tickling me and I laughed so much. "Rosa! Rosaaa! Heyy! Rosaa!" Robin started saying snapping his finger in front of my face, I had zoned out for a minute. "I'm sorry I..." it started raining. "You *empanada" he said laughing. "Well it's raining" I said with an ironic tone, I looked down thinking about my memory...I really missed my dad, he always understood me, he always believed in me and now he was gone. "Hey Rosieeee" he teased. "Don't fucking call me that again" I said in a cold tone. "What's the problem Rosiee?" he continued and laughed. "Robin I'm serious, stop!" a tear fell down my cheek, I wanted to escape that moment. I got up and started to run to my house trough the slippery road. I was crying and thinking about the man who had raised me, the man who I had loved and still loved for so many years, he wasn't coming back. I didn't look at where I was going, I was just getting rid of all the stress and sadness I hadn't got rid of before, because of my dad's death. Suddenly I slipped and fell on the wet road. "Shit" I said to myself, I was dirty now, great. "Are you okay?" somebody said beside me. I turned to see a little girl and a boy about my age looking down to me. "I..." I was still full of tears. "Here let me help you, I'm Finney, Finney Blake" he said reaching out his hand. I grabbed his hand and got on my feet. "Thanks...I'm Rosa Santeularia" I said as I put my hands around my stomach. "You're new here right? I'm Gwen Blake" she said with a smile. "Yup" I said "smiling". The boy next to her, Finney, looked at me as if he was worried, I looked back at him and he opened his mouth. "Rosa, come with us to our house you don't look okay" he said looking at his younger sister. "Yeah, let's go" she said nodding her head. "Guys we just met, are you sure?" I said unconvinced. "Who cares? We can get to know each other" Finney said smiling. "Okay, thanks." I said smiling for real. We all started walking up to their house and it continued raining, I got really cold and started to shake because of how cold I was. I mean, I was wearing a summer sweatshirt. "You're cold?" Finney asked looking at me. "Kind of, yeah" I said looking at myself. "You're definitely cold with that sweatshirt" Gwen said laughing. "I didn't expect it rain in summer" I said laughing quietly. "Come" Finney said putting his arm around me and approaching me to him. I just smiled, I felt comfortable. Instants later we were in front of their house. "Okay we are here Rosa!" Gwen exclaimed. Finney opened the door and let me and Gwen enter before him.
