"A what?" I asked confused.
"A welcome/introduction party." Said Christian at the head of the table looking at his phone.
Right after Jacob and I got back from the mall it was already dinner time. We showed the others our earrings, Christian thought I was too young to get my ears pierced but let it go when Jacob said it was his idea. He was still not happy about it but he did say they looked beautiful on me.
Before heading to the dining room, Malcom took me to the medical room to check on my ribs, throat and other injuries. So far they have healed really good, my scars have faded a little but not completely. I know they won't completely disappear because not all scars do. Physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Dinner was going good until Christian mentioned something about a party.
"Why?" I asked still confused.
"The party is to introduce/welcome you into the Sánchez family. We usually do this when a new member of the family is born or if some gets married into the family. It celebrates the family getting bigger and more powerful." Explained Angelo eating a croquette. "Also some business partners and friends come to celebrate as well."
"So what does that mean for me? Do I have change my last name then?." I asked getting mad. Cause all of a sudden they want me in their family when they had twelve years to do that. Do they think a party can change all that. They must think I'm stupid or something.
Complete bullshit.
It was silent for a while until Christian spoke " You can have it heighten so it can be Nova Negrin-Sánchez." He said as if it is so simple.
"I rather have no heightening and keep my last name." I said taking a croquette aggressively.
"It's this upcoming Friday, this is not up to debate Nova—"
"I think it is since I don't agree to it." I interrupted coldly.
The tension in the air was thick with my rage and his rage, I literally am going to flip this table over. He is so controlling that it's suffocating. He's trying to take away a part of my mom away from me, as if I haven't lost a lot of my mom already.
"Nova don't interrupt me and I am only doing this for your sake." He said sternly.
"HOW IS TAKING A PART OF MY MOM AWAY FROM ME GOOD FOR MY SAKE!" I yelled and stormed up stairs to my room, slamming my door hard.
