Veronica's POV
I've been avoiding Miguel since his 'outburst'.
I've been cooped up in my room for 3 days not wanting to leave my warm bed.
Abuelo has tried getting me to leave the bed but just gave up when I demonstrated how I was going to strangle him by using one of Sparky's teddy bear's.
I am one with the bed.
ANYWAYYY- my thoughts are cut off by knocking on my door.
Why does everyone keep cutting off my thoughts?!
IM TRYYYYING TO HAVE A GODDAMN EMOTIONAL SCENE, I GOT MY DEPRESSED PLAYLIST ON SPOTIFY PLAYING RIGHT NOW AND EVERYONE KEEPS TRYING TO TALK TO ME.
*cough* hmm.
"Come in." I say gently.
Abuelo walks in with a sad smile on his face.
"Abuelo, is everything okay?"
"Yes, everything is fine darling, it's just your uncle and Miguel are going back to they're home today." he sighed
"Oh" Is all I say.
"Would you like to come down and say goodbye?" He asks
"Not really." I reply, causing Abuelo to frown.
"Veronica Garcia, I swear to the lord and saviour, if you do not get out of your bed right now I will grab that long, fat, rat of yours and get the maids to put in in your next super." Abuelo says threateningly.
"He is not fat!" I nearly scream realising he is talking about Sparky. I jump out of my bed, walking in front of Sparky ready to do some kung fu shit, Abuelo or not I will fuck him up, No one talks about MY long, plump, rat.
Abuelo raises an eyebrow when I said 'Sparky's not fat.'
"OKAY, He's a little plump, but he's not fat!" I scream
"He's Obese." He explains like im a toddler, But before I could scream anymore, Abuelo raised both hands as in surrender while saying "Come on veronica, please for me"
I sigh loudly and walk over to my walk-in closet and grab some fresh clothes.
I need a shower.
As I'm walking to my suite I can see Abuelo looking at Sparky, and whispering, "Fatty."
"HE'S NOT FAT!" I scream while slamming my bathroom door shut, from the other side I can hear Abuelo laughing, and after a while I can hear his footsteps leaving.
Good, I was about to tackle his wrinkley ass.
I look in the mirror,
The bruises on my face have faded and healed by now, but the ones on my body are still taking time.
I internally cringe looking at my body in the mirror, I look disgusting.
I step into the shower and turn the water to a nice warm temperature.
I immediately wince as I can feel a sharp stinging pain all over my body, from the cuts that Ricardo made.
After half an hour I finally step out of the shower and get changed, making my way downstairs to bid my goodbye's.
I see Abuelo and Uncle Diego hugging each other while Miguel was just staring at his phone not really doing anything.
I clear my throat making Abuelo and Uncle Diego look at me, while Migeul is still staring at his phone. Rude bitch.
Uncle walks up to me and embraces me into a hug, and I quickly hug him back.
"I'll see you soon, Diabla." He smiles.
"Goodbye, Uncle" I returned the smile.
Uncle makes his way out the door and Miguel follows with his face in his phone until Uncle slaps Migeul on the back of the head, making Miguel look at his father annoyed.
He signals for Miguel to say goodbye to me.
Miguel turns to me and just nods and walks out, I just roll my eyes and say one last goodbye to uncle until he eventually leaves as well.
