THE SCAR THAT NEVER BLED

|JUVIE VISIT|

November 4th 1977

After school Robin asked me if he wanted to hang out. Which I agreed to, But then accidentally ended up being sleepover.

The next morning I woke up and flipped over. My eyes immediately went to a alarm clock, it was 10:14am. A yawn escaped my mouth. I gently rubbed my eyes

"Mornin' curly" he chuckled folding up his sleeping bag

I smiled and said morning back

Call me weird but I felt comfortable with Robin by now despite barely knowing him I felt safe in his presence.I felt like I could be myself without him judging.

Robin had this special charm about him other guys didn't have. He was different than the guys in the past have treated me.He treated me with such mindfulness and kindness

Suddenly a loud clash came from outside of the room,which sounded like a kitchen appliance then came a female's voice filled with swears. Robin immediately went out there

Then I heard the smoke alarm go off as I heard multiple Spanish argue. I wanted to go out to see what was going on but i didn't know if they thought I was here. And seeing a girl walk out of Robin's room with no context...yeah not the smartest idea to do. And also I didn't wanna embarrass Robin by going out there

I get up from the bed, my heart skipped a beat as I jumped again because of another loud crash in the kitchen

'is somebody dying in there?'

I walk into the ensuite and close the door behind while letting out another yawn.I look to my right into the large mirror seeing my reflection.

Oof..

My hair is disheveled, my mascara is smudged. Just a huge wreck. I turn the faucet tabs and began to splash water onto my face. Avoiding my eye area since I didn't have a mascara with me and I can't live without it

I look under the sink for face towels and there's some neatly folded in a pile. I dry my face with one. I look back up in the mirror and run my finger through my long wavys, placing water on my roots to get rid of fizz.I leave the ensuite and see that Robin's back

He says if I want some breakfast and we both head out of his bedroom

In the kitchen i see a grown man cooking up something. I didn't see him before when I walked with Robin home yesterday?.I turned to Robin giving him a 'who's that look' with a sort of scared expression to go with it

"This is Diego, my uncle, Diego this is Marliyn"

Diego shot me a quick smile before going back to cooking.Robin waved his hand, signaling that I should follow him to the living room.Where the tv was on playing Micky mouse cartoons.

In there was Robin's older cousin, Vanessa,His younger half-sister Alondra,and his younger brother, Ernesto. Vanessa was sipping on a cup of something while sitting in the corner on a rocking chair.Alondra was sitting on a pillow on the ground criss-crossed watching the cartoons play along with Ernesto

Ernesto was quite the opposite from his brother.Ernesto had brown fluffed hair, glasses , soft brown eyes and this sweet look written all over face. And not may I mention made the honor roll list
