~Phone call~

Natalie: "Como está Abuelita!? Está being deme "Mom tell me is she fine you know what? Voy tomaré un vuelo a casa para estar con ella a su lado."

Maricel: "Te quedas en la escuela y estudias...tienes un juego mañana y la abuela quiere que juegues, yo tengo a andres conmigo, no te preocupes tu abuela es fuerte, el doctor encontrará lo que pasó y bueno él de vuelta a casa lo prometo."

Natalie: "No yo necesito estar a lado con mi Abuelita ella estay mal, no te preocupa, what if it's something worse….I don't want to think about that but it's there."

Maricel: "No me preocupa?  tengo miedo tu abuelita es mayor de edad todo esto me da miedo, ni una vez ha pasado esto estoy orando para que no sea peor…"

Natalie: Y como!? Estaba bien cuando me fue?"

Maricel: "Natalie hija, no sé por qué y realmente me asusta, no quería decirles esto, pero ha estado así durante la última semana y se ha enfermado."

Natalie: "Yo no me voy a quedar, I'm going home mom…que le vale a todos y el juego yo me voy ir ahora mismo para ver a mi Abuelita."

I got frustrated with my mom. She had every right to tell me what was going on with my Abuelita. The week before she was fine, she needed to tell her Granddaughters we can help.

Natalie: "I don't care mama I have another games to play y la escuela tengo años para mis estudios, no me voy a perder nada."

Maricel: "Está bien, pero no vendrás hasta mañana después de tu juego."

Natalie: "Y porque yo quiero estar con ella ahorita mismo."

Maricel: "Ella está bien ahora, así que duerme y mañana puedes venir, pero después del partido, si pasa algo, te llamaré."

Natalie: "Pero!!"

I tried arguing with my mom about going but in the end I agreed. All I could do was worry about my Abuelita.

~End of call~

Bailey: "Hey how did it go?" She nervously asks.

Natalie: "Horrible my fucking Grandma is in the hospital because she collapsed at home, they haven't told my mom anything yet besides she's doing fine right now."

Bailey: "I'm sorry."

Natalie: "It's fine."I sigh. "I do feel like shit tho seriously my mom doesn't want to go, literally I can go who gives shit its family we're talking about my grandma here, I can play other games, & I have all year to study." I say frustrated.

Bailey: "So your grandma is fine right now?"

Natalie: "At the moment what my mom told me but still I'd drop everything for her, when my mom was working long hours she was there for us, I don't care I'm going tonight fuck tomorrow's game."

It was a huge game for my career, 19 & starter for the team & academically I'm one of the top of my class. I have two options for my future career. All I care about right now is that my Abuelita is okay & nothing worse comes from this.

I go back to the dorm & start packing my suitcase with everything I need quickly & looking at my phone for flights home.

Bailey: "Hold up you can just leave your team like that you should at least tell them…it's the first game to the semi-finals for State you can just…"
