Through Fire

The next day we still couldn't go to school, but I was meeting Kate at the café. ''Bye aunt Pepa. Bye Chris see you tonight.'' ''Where are you going?'' Chris asked with a sad face that I was leaving him. ''I'm going to get a drink with a friend.'' ''Okay.'' ''Bye Mija.'' Aunt Pepa said giving me a hug.

''Hey girl.'' Kate waves happily standing up to give me a hug. ''Hey.'' We sit down in the booth and order two ice coffee's and two strawberry pancakes. ''So how are your school free days going?'' Kate asks. ''Well not very interesting. We stayed one night at my dads aunt house and we went to the station for like a couple of Hours which was pretty fun.''

''How about you?'' ''Just watching Tv.'' Kate said shrugging and laughing. ''So are there any hot fire fighters at the station?'' ''Is that the only thing you can think about?'' ''Pretty much.'' She shrugs and we both laugh.

After three ice coffee's, two pancakes and four hours later we decide it's time to go home and we'll see each other at school tomorrow. ''Dad are you home?'' ''In the kitchen, Mija.'' I walk to the kitchen and see dad, Chris and a woman I don't know sitting and laughing.

''Hey I'm Carla.'' The woman says holding out her hand. See seems nice. ''Hey I'm Sofia.'' ''Sofia, Carla is going to help with Chris until we find a permanent help.'' ''Okay.'' ''Carla is going to eat with you guys and then I'll see you too at the hospital.''

''At the hospital?'' I ask confused. ''Yes to see abuela. See asked for us.'' I just nodded. Dad gave me and Chris a kiss on the forehead and then left. ''So what do you guys think about pizza?'' ''We eat that a lot, but I like it.'' I said. ''Me too.'' Chris happily chimed in.

After we ate our pizza's we finally went too abuela. I felt really bad tho, because if Chris and I just stayed at home abuela would never have fallen and broken her hip. ''Hola, mi amores.'' Abuela said seeing me and Chris walk in, Chris holding Carla's hand.

Dad was already sitting by Abula's bedside holding her hand. She looked really sleepy. ''Alright.'' Dad said grabbing Chris's hand and pulling him on his lap. I kept standing besides Carla feeling as if it was safer for Abula if I kept a distance. ''Who is that?'' Dad said to Chris.

''It's alright honey. Come give me a kiss.'' Abuela said seeing my hesitant face. I did as she asked and then stood besides dad and Chris, dad wrapping his arm around my middle. Dad looked back and gave Carla a thankfull nod. She nodded back.

Buck and dad told all these crazzy stories about their work day today. How Maddie, who is bucks sister I didn't even know he had found a disbatcher who just hang up on people. Then the crazzy laddy kept bothering her and when she called 911 she actually got in a car crash. Which I thought was also kind of ironic in a way.

Dad told me about how the team wasn't aloud to help a man, beacause of Hen's skin colour, Chimney's come of and dad also not because we are Mexican. Weird how people will still refuse help even though there is no other option to save them.

I always love these stories after Chris goes to bed. We were all three sitting on the coutch well me more like lying, my leggs on Buck's lap and my head on a pillow on dads. ''So what happened to that man did he die?'' ''No he passed out. So we helped him quickly and then brought him to the hospital.'' Buck said.

''People are weird.'' I say. ''Totally agree.'' Buck laughs. ''I think it's time for you to go to bed, Mija.'' ''Already?'' ''Not already. It's eleven pm. Besides you have school tomorrow.'' I growned and got up. ''Night buck. Night dad.'' I said while giving dad a hug as he gave me a kiss on my head. ''Night Sof.'' Buck replied.

''Goodnight honey.'' I got already for bed and then hopped in my bed with a book.
