𝐆𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐨. Model, actress, celebrity. At the age of 22 Gianna already has everything or at least that's what everyone thinks.
But in reality, her life couldn't be more of a mess. Where there's money there's alcohol, where there's pa...

"¿Por qué no fuiste a recogerla al aeropuerto? Te dije que llegaba a las once." My dad tells me over the phone. (Why didn't you go to pick her up at the airport? I told you she arrived at eleven.)
"Papá she is twenty not fourteen, taxies exist," I reply as I search all over my desk for the damn paper I need. (Dad.)
"Es Nueva York, prometiste que cuidarías de ella." He says in his dad-like voice, that one he has been trying to master for all these years. (It's New York, you promised you would take care of her.)
It's always the same. And believe me, I love my dad, he is the best but sometimes he is way too overprotective. Especially when it comes to Vera, his little angel.
I should have waited for Mom to call.
"And I'm going to, I asked her if she could get here by herself because I had some stuff to do and she said yes, Dad. It's not like it's the first time she visits." Where is the damn fucking paper? I really need to invest in some desk organizers.
"Si pero con nosotros, es la primera vez que va sola, Miles." He keeps going and I leave the phone behind so I can properly search. "¿Se puede saber que haces? A penas te escucho." (Yes but with us, it's the first time she goes alone Miles. Also what are you even doing? I can barely hear you?)
"I can't find the damn paper. I need to buy something to organize this fucking mess." I say mostly to myself.
"No puedes buscar el papel luego? Estoy intentando mantener una conversación contigo." (Can't you look for the paper later? I'm trying to have a conversation with you.)
"Ha! I found it. Dad I will call you later I need to do something right now." I act as if I haven't heard him.
"Miles no-" I hang up before he can even finish.
He will be mad at me for a while but then he will remember how much he loves me or mom will remind him how it's his fault I'm this way since I'm practically the younger version of him and he will get over it. As a kid I was the same as my mom then somehow I morphed into my dad. Still have some of her qualities (thank god) but yeah now he and I are basically the same person. Looks and everything.
Taking my phone I save the number written on the paper in my contacts to make sure I don't lose it again and put an alarm telling me to call later. The nice woman at the reception told me to call right after lunchtime.
Mom: Your dad isn't happy about you hanging up on him but don't worry I understand. I was next to him and he was driving me crazy too.
Me: Glad I'm not the only one.
Mom: he is reading over my shoulder right now, told me I was supposed to scold you.
Has Vera arrived already?
Me: tell him he is annoying.
And no, she said she had somewhere to go before getting home. But she is alive, I promise.
