I Felt Used

Chapter 7

Ch. 7

Monica.....

I've been here for 3 days now and I'm enjoying the comfort of my family. Yes, I came back home to visit my parents, brother, and sister. I'm the middle child my brother Juan is the oldest he is 36 yrs old and my baby sister Marisol just turn 30.

They both have families of their own well my sister Marisol gave birth to my niece 5 years ago Isabella Maria Fuentes.......my crazy ass sister is a fanatic over Twilight. She never married the father because their best friends...........one night they got extremely drunk by themselves and then nine months later Isabella was here. My niece daddy is in the picture he is a great daddy and never left my sister side. They both agreed that they rather be friends than a couple. Although I don't know why they never got together because they act like a couple........weird I know.

My brother Juan on the other hand, married his high school sweetheart, they have been together for 20 years now, but been married for 15. They have 4 kids my oldest nephew Juan Jr is 14 yrs old, my 2nd nephew Christopher is 13 yrs old, my 3rd nephew Jesse is 10 yrs old and my niece Christina is 8 years old. I feel sorry for my niece with all those older brothers and a very strict father, but she has them all wrap around their little fingers.

I have a big family and I love them all to death I guess you can say I'm the oddball around here and being a middle child says it all.

My parents loved us all the same, they were hurt when I had told them that I wanted to stay and live with my aunt and uncle but they were okay with it. My brother and sister, on the other hand, were upset with me but they were understandable why I left to visit my uncle and aunt then stayed living with them. It was because of him...........it was because of Gabriel. He was once the love of my life.........the one that cheated on me for 3yrs.

My father told me that he finally made it in the police force and he works as an officer in this town. Great and here I thought he would have moved far from here. My parents don't know why I broke it off with him. Dad like him a lot and who didn't he was a great guy and was always there for me, but when I found out what kind of man he was I left him. I just can't be with a cheater.......I saw some of my friends go through a cheating boyfriend or girlfriend college and they still stayed with them......for what? They still kept on cheating and I just couldn't deal with that.

When I left this town, I made my family promise me to never tell Gabriel what town I moved to and who I move with. Gabriel knows all of my family and if he found out what town I moved to he would of went after me and bugged me to work things out.

Funny how I ran from my own town to get away from a cheater boyfriend, now I'm right back here, but a boyfriend that decided to bet on me to see if he can get me.............this sucks so bad. I don't run away from my problems I know when I get back home I'm going to have to face Adrian I was just not ready right now. There was a knock at my door....

"Yea?"

"Hola, Hermana (Hello sister), I wanted to know if you want to go for some ice cream with me and Bella," my sister poke her head through the door.

"Sure.....I'll meet you downstairs in a bit," she closed the door.

It's weird being back home in my own bedroom.......mom left it the way I left the day I went to my aunt and uncle house. My sister lives here with my parent's and she converted my brother room as her own and gave her room to her daughter. My brother and his big family live 2 blocks from here.

I went downstairs with a very excited, happy and jumpy Bella.

"Hurry Tia(aunt)......I want some ice cream," she holding the front door open.
