While in the car I take a shot of vodka, once we get there Xavier steps out of the car first, he helps me and Maria out of the car like a gentleman. There, my uncle is waiting with my brother in front of my parent's graves, I put on my sunglasses to avoid them from seeing me cry. According to them, I don't and will never cry again.
My arm loops around his and we start walking inside the cemetery, it's cold out here. I go around greeting people and introducing them to Xavier. For the most part, they approve of him but the men in my family are complicated people.
I put some roses on my mom's grave while my brother is sobbing right next to me, I kneel down to him and I take off my sunglasses to look at him.
"When I found out you were going to be born it was one of the best days in my life. I promised Mom and Dad that I would be there for you, for the good and bad, and so will they. We might not be able to see them but they're here with us, we love you and I'm so grateful that you're here. I'm so sorry that for thirteen years of your life, you were alone and had to go through all of this alone."
"It's not your fault for what happened, I'm just glad to have found you now." He pulls me in for a hug and I kiss his head, at least he's still alive, there's nothing more I could ever ask for.
A tear falls down my cheek and he wipes it off my cheek and then winks at me. I smile then stand up and put on my glasses, Maria, Jayden, and my uncle have their arms around each other. He asks me and Xavier to step to the side along with Mateo.
"Your parents wanted me to give you this. She thought you want it when your older and the timing is right." He gets a hold of our hands and places the ring in the palm of my hands.
"Is this their wedding rings?" A crack in my voice is heard, tears start to slowly go down my face and I look up at Xavier.
"Yeah, I know I should have waited to give you these rings until you actually got married for real. I had a feeling that you guys would want them. And for you pequeño your parents left you this necklace, it was your dad's."
"This is amazing thanks tio," Mateo says excitingly and puts it around his neck.
"Take care of those rings, if I find out you lost them I will hurt you and hunt you down." My uncle threatens Xavier.
"Yes sir." He nods his head.
"Perfect. Now I'll have to deal with the rest of my family, I'll see you three later." He leaves and I wipe away any excess tears I had left, I put on my sunglasses and act like nothing happened.
"We can do whatever you want, name it."
"Can't we just go buy a whole bunch of things? We're not normal a normal family, so having dinner publicly is out of the picture-"
"We can totally do that if you want."
"Well that's good to know, okay can we go to a diner? I love French toast, one question do I have a trust fund?"
"That came out of nowhere but Yeah, you are not getting it until your seventeen." A laugh comes out of me.
"No fair, but your credit card will do for now, hey what happened to Marcus? I thought you were in "love" or whatever you guys call it."
"Umm well it's complicated but Marcus will somehow make a couple of appearances, on the other hand, this is my boyfriend Xavier."
"Sup little dude." His Spanish accent comes out, he speaks perfect English but sometimes his accent pops out in some words.
"You guys are definitely not dating." He perfectly states.
"What? How'd you know?" I question Mateo.
"Well first off, you guys look like you hate touching each other and you're not all over my sister like Marcus usually is. Secondly, I knew something was off with both of you once you walked in together, call it intuition."
"Shit, it was that obvious?" Xavier asks.
"Yep, but I think our family members are too wrapped up in thinking about how Esmerelda so-called jumped relationships too quickly. Good luck with that y'all."
"I should have known that was going to happen, Hispanic families do love gossiping. C'mon, let's go."
As we order our food, we see a two familiar people on a motorbike together. Marcus takes off his helmet with Saya and comes rushing into the diner.
"What the hell are you two doing here?" I get up and ask, they are trying to say something but they are out of breath.
"You guys need to get out of here-"
Out of nowhere, a truck drives recklessly into the parking lot, my worst nightmare just made eye contact with me.
"Everyone under the table now!" I yell as the windows start breaking, glass is shattered everywhere. I can see the fear in my young brother's eyes, oh hell no you're not traumatizing my brother again.
"I'm back bitch! Well if it isn't the beautiful little girl I left behind, do you miss me, Esmerelda? Do you guys think that we should recreate the same night that happened 12 years ago? Care to share your point of view of your parent's lifeless bodies on the ground?" He laughs hysterically and I put Mateo behind me, that disgusting face will haunt him for the rest of his life. He tilts his head to the side to look at Chester.
"Holy shit, your the baby in the womb, I actually thought I got rid of you once I shot your hot mother in the head. I guess I didn't do a good enough job. No way! Is that my old friend Marcus? Wow, someone's balls dropped, What a coincidence that you guys found each other, let me guess lovers? How sickening, now that I have the three of you here, I'm here to finish my job."
"Jayden get Mateo out of here-"
"Ah I see more of the Santos family, you should totally have a family reunion in hell. this should be fun, no hard feelings man but I should have killed your father when I had the chance!"
"You sick bastard!" Jayden yells, we all take our guns out and point them at Chester and his crew.
"That's not very fair friends... Who am I kidding I'm not leaving until I have your blood on my hands Esmerelda!" He yells.
"Try your best you fucking cunt!" Jayden tries to slip away through the back with Mateo, Maria takes out her fan, saya gets in her combat position and the three of us take out our gun.
"You're not very being very nice Esme, do you remember this?" He holds out the necklace that belonged to her, it was a gold chain with her name on it.
"stop fucking psychoanalyze me, shoot me if you have the balls to do it."
"Tempting." He starts to shoot up the place with his gun, I take off my jacket and start to fire my gun all over the place while trying to take cover behind the counter. While he's trying to fight Marcus one of his guys comes after me.
He's way bigger than me so I struggle to get out of his grip that he has on me, he pushes me against the wall and I kick him in his dick. While he whines in pain while leaning on the deep fryer, he doesn't notice that it's on, and with all my strength I dunk his head in the deep fryer.
"Take that you cock sucking bitch!"
Once I get up I hide behind a wall and hear footsteps coming towards me. I hear a knife scratching against the wall, this is some Freddy Krueger shit. I dodge the knife from coming across my face but then it comes across my arm.
"Oh come on, anywhere but my arms!" I yell, why the hell is it either my arms or face?
I kick him in the face and shot him in the head. I hear a yell coming from Marcus and Xavier.
"Marcus duck!" Xavier pushes Marcus out of the way from being shot and someone comes to try to shoot Xavier. Marcus shoves Xavier out of his way and kicks Chester into the broken wall.
"Thanks, man." I can see both of their faces bruised up. A loud commotion is coming from outside, a group of my men come in to try to handle the situation but Chester gets away.
"Too little, too late! Where the hell were you guys? We could have been killed! I'm paying you guys a good money, I should fire you all!"
