La Santa Muerte

Fuck him

viviana: you dont understand

emiliano: help me understand because right now I'm thinking you think we failed when all we've done was make sure you guys where ok shit better than ok

viviana: I know and I'm grateful for that and appreciate it but it just messes with me the fact that it was just a lie

emiliano: but how was it a lie though? would it have made you feel better if we brought work home? if we kept you in the loop of it all? or what is this really about?

viviana: what do you mean by that?

emiliano: is this about the work we do which I get it and I'm surprised you didn't see it before because javi did his homework and figured it out quickly but is this about your mom dealing with adan the way she did? are you mad she kept him a secret and never told you who your real father was? is that's what this is about?

viviana sat up and looked at him

emiliano: I know you better than anyone else in this family your my goddaughter and we hold no secrets

viviana: we hold no secrets but yet you didn't tell me the biggest one.. who am I.. who was he? am I like him? does she see him in me? does she hate me as much as she hates him? why kill him why not just keep me away why didn't she tell me about him? why did she let me wonder

emiliano: viviana

viviana; no you want to know why I'm angry why I'm really hurt about? that's what it is that's why

emiliano looked at her

viviana: the lies and cover ups do hurt also because I want to become a detective I want to help the community I love volunteering but now I don't know what I really want to do but the rest is about him..

emiliano sighed and nodded

emiliano: I cant speak for your mother that's a conversation you have to have with her because I never spoke to him or knew him on a personal level from before anything what I know about him is the jealousy part and how he sold your mother to the enemy.. I'm the one that found out everything and you also I went to your tata and we both told your mother that night

viviana: where was I?

emiliano: she should be the one to tell you vivi its not my place

viviana: no secrets remember

emiliano: huh fuck um your mothers birth giver dumped you off at a hospital you where premature due to the labor and stress your mother had gone threw and I think the blows to the stomach they had told the orphanage that you wouldn't make it to just have a space ready but you fought and recovered but that orphanage ran out of room and you went to many after that i found you with a lady that i think was planning to adopt you she had worked at the last orphanage you where at they had closed down and a lot of kids where just left on the streets

viviana: what?

emiliano: yea it was DNA testing that your sperm donor had done that i came across and i made a match just as he did he made the mistake of threatening the lady to give you up or he would kill her i went in sat down with her talked to her about it all and we paid her a good amount to let us have you and she did once we confirmed it was you

viviana sat there with tears in her eyes

emiliano: when i say i love you babygirl like my own its because i do and i made a promise to your tata that i would forever protect you I'm sorry this has to come out the way it is it angers me because chris should've kept his mouth shut he wasn't alone for the first 5 years of his life he wasn't used for bait he wasn't moved around like crazy he can say he lived a shitty life growing up he didn't because his mother was given millions to stay away and ok that i know because i kept records of it all

viviana: he never told me it was a hard upbringing

emiliano: good I would've snapped on him

viviana: I'm sorry I came at you the way I did but it doesn't change my feelings about how she went about this I'm not going to just get over it.. but I am thankful for you and I love you and look up to you ill forever hold you in my heart like I do dad and tata

he nodded and pulled her in for a hug

emiliano: don't be to hard on your mother ok? she did her best and she did what she thought was best for you babygirl

viviana nodded and hugged him again .. emiliano stood up

viviana: I wanna stay here for the night can you tell her please?

emiliano: ill tell her but I wont stop her if she comes looking ok

viviana; ok just tell her to give me some space my heads in the fog right now

he nodded and walked out and went downstairs

emiliano: you need to calm down javi

javi: I'm more annoyed than mad

maya: i get that but you need to understand she has every right to feel the way she does its all new to her and shes is confused she'll come around

javi: she shouldn't even be mad or hurt at mom when she was just protecting her and me from what it really is

emiliano: its bigger than that just give her time to breath let me take you home

javi: shes not coming home?

emiliano: she said she wants to stay here for the night if that's ok with you may?

maya: ofcourse it is

javi: its not ok with me

he went upstairs emiliano went after him javi barged into the roo m

viviana: leave me alone please javi

javi: so you don't wanna come home why?

viviana: I want my space that's why

javi: from what? i don't get it

viviana: javi I'm fine its ok just give me my please

javi: if your gonna be mad be mad at me don't do it to mom ok

viviana turned over

javi: chris is getting it that fucking sack of shit

he said turning around and leaving viviana looked at emiliano as he shook his head
