The Mute Girl In The Food Truck (ON HOLD)

•Chapter 4•

When I got home I go help my mom for the taco truck preparation. After 2 hours were ready to go. My mom, dad, older sister, and I get dressed for work. A couple minutes later Cameron, our only helper that helps us, comes in and helps us put stuff in the truck.

When we're done packing we leave in the truck that's attached to the taco truck and head to sell some food.

Once we get there we unpack and get ready to sell. A car come in as the first customer, one down a hundred more to go.

*couple of hours later *

Once we finish the last order of our rush we make our own food that we bring. At first the food that we sell is good but when you eat it every weekend you...kind get sick of it.

When we all finished making our food we all eat in peace. "Hey Joe'' Cameron says, I roll my eyes he always called me that for really no reason and I call him Steve just cause he looks like the monkey from cloudy with a chance of meatballs with his hair always fluffy. I look at him to show I'm listening.

''You made any new 'friends'? He asked, I shake my head no, my whole family knows about the 'friends' thing and they don't really care as long as I don't cause too much of trouble then its fine. Cameron nods and goes back to eat his spicy food.

I get my moms attention to ask her a question "do you know a person named Mario?" I signed and her eyes grow wide. "Mario?! I haven't heard that name in so long" my mom says 

"you knew him?" I sign she nods her head yes, "you knew him too" she said and it was my turn for my eyes to be huge. "Remember after the crash you had lost some of your memories?" My mom said.

I nodded my head, after the crash in the hospital I really didn't remember anything of my past, I was scared because I couldn't talk and it was hard trying to talk to people when you cant speak to them. That's when I learned sign language; some of my family members I didn't know, people who I was really close to I forgot who they were,  it took a couple of months to remember who they were but sometimes I still felt like I was forgetting someone but I never knew who it was so I moved on from that feeling.

"Well you two were best friends you went everywhere together you two were stuck together like glue, a week before the crash there moved cause they had family problems and moved to be closer to them. They never came back so when you lost some of your memories we didn't mention it since you really wouldn't see them again" my mom says.

I nod my head understanding, that's why he looked familiar. " Why do you ask?" My mom said, "there was a new kid at school and when I saw him he looked familiar and he and I quote ' I missed you Esmeralda' I signed

"Oh so are you friend's now? " my mom said, I shake my no and she frowns  "why not?" She says
"Abby Douglas called me a freak so I punched her and it was over in a flash, then Mario was freaking out cause I hit a person for no reasons, Nery then explained and he calls me a freak so I punched him at the end of lunch, so we went to class and left him I signed.

"What should I do?" My dad said jokingly in his Spanish accent, which is always funny and gets me to laugh. But its soon ended when a customer comes to show break time was over and I put in my head-phones in my phone and play 'confident' by Demi lavato, which is my favorite singer.

When I'm making the tortilla I flipping them when there cooked to the certain time I know like the back of my head. When I flip them some more they make a bubble and blow up showing Ive made them perfect. Time goes by fast and it's already 3 A.M. and no more customers show up so I stop, clean my section, and get ready to go home.

When we close down we get in the truck and head home. When we get home my dad plugs the meat in the fridge so it keeps it fresh and we head inside to go to sleep. While everone is sleeping Im still having trouble going to sleep. I'm exhausted, but my mind is playing a million things. Why now all of a sudden a person from my past comes back? I pray its not like the last time someone showed up that I didn't know. Im not sure when I fall asleep but when it does I feel myself shaking knowing that the same nightmare is going to haunt me again.
