Forgotten

Chapter 49

(Faith pov)

March-27th-2019
Boca Florida📍

I text Ariana the moment I landed & I walk out really thinking about my life decisions.

Faith's thoughts: "This wasn't a good idea." I sigh.

How was she able to convince me to go here? Oh wait that's right she's the love of my life that's why.

I got an Uber texting Natalie to meet me at the mall. I didn't want to just go home straight away.

~Messages~

Ding~

Natalie: Really the mall u should be going home not meeting at the mall

Faith: It's that or I'm getting back on the plane

Natalie: Okay fine the mall

Faith: Okay.

~Messages end~

It felt like I was being set up not once had Abuelita gotten sick & when she does she brushes it off.

Mall📍

I get there & I wait like 15 minutes impatiently.

Natalie: "Faith!!"

Faith: "I was about to go back." I say sarcastically.

Natalie: "Ya come on Abuelita is home waiting for you, I told her you were coming back home." She grabs my hand & I stop her.

Faith: "Is mom actually losing the family business!? The last time I checked, she was doing fine, Nat I know what you're doing, seriously I can't believe you made me fly all the way down here."

Natalie: "I'm not around to help mom, she's getting older it's hard to find help & you think I'm joking around." She gasps. "Faith seriously Andres is home helping mom watch Abuelita while I'm at school, I don't see you doing anything."

I couldn't believe her, she's really trying to manipulate me with the guilt card.

Faith: "Mmm I'm not in the mood to argue, if this all stupid scheme of yours to get me to talk with mom you're getting it."

Natalie: "Fine what it is, a whole scheme of mine, don't you think it's time to face mom, we haven't been a family in years."

I knew all of that & it still pains me to even talk about him. Causing a scene was the last thing I needed here not just for me but for Ariana.

Faith: "Fine whatever let's just get this over with."

Home📍

Arriving home I don't hesitate to get off & knock like why would I, coming back home like it matters.

Faith's thoughts: "I'm only here to help, I'm not going to stay & talk with her about other things."

Natalie: "You don't have to knock, I got the keys idiot." I roll my eyes.

I acted like coming back home didn't matter but I was wrong, the moment I stepped inside I felt a wave of emotion that hit me, memories I had bad & good ones but all mostly horrible ones.

Abuelita: "Natalie ya regresaste a casa tan temprano...estoy en la cocina me puedes ayudar a preparar la cena."

The feeling was overwhelming, & I haven't heard my Abuelita voice in so long.
