"You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see, but you cannot close your heart to something you don't want to feel." Johnny Depp
I wake up in the morning with the sound of Vanessa's mom talking on the phone. Of what I can here, she is talking to someone in Mexico.
After she ends the call she bursts into the bedroom and wakes Vanessa up.
"Get up, I need you to make my luggage. Your grandma had a heart attack. I need to leave to Mexico now." Vanessa and I rush out of bed and run to her parents' room and we start packing her bags.
Everyone in the house is running around trying to get everything ready for Mrs. Parra. I turn to the kitchen and I see Mr. Parra staring at me, I turn my attention back to Vanessa but I still feel his eyes on me. Why did I bring my pj shorts, now I feel really uncomfortable.
"Can you get me the small bag that is in Alex's room?" Vanessa asks me.
"Yeah. Is he asleep?"
"No. But he is really sad. Just ignore him?" Just ignore him? I walk into his room and he is sitting on the edge of his bed. He looks up at me and then turns to look at his folded hands.
"It's my fault." I hear him as I'm looking for the bag. I turn and look at him.
"What are you talking about, your grandma is in Mexico. Why would it be your fault?" He looks at me again.
"I promised God that I was going to stay away from you and I broke my promise, so he is warning me that he can take the most important people in my life if I continue to be with you. The universe doesn't want us together and we can't fight it no more." He gets up from his bed and walks to me. "I will do everything in my power to stay away from you."
"What are you saying? God doesn't punish." I hug him.
"He knows that I'm hurting you, He wants me away from you."
"DID YOU FIND IT?" I hear Vanessa. I grab the bag and I leave his room.
"Found it." I give her the bag and we finish packing.
After Mrs. Parra leaves we head out for breakfast. As we are waiting to be seated I feel Mr. Parra touching the lower part of my back, I move away from him and I stand in between Vane and Alex. Mr. Parra comes and stands in between Alex and I and puts his arm around my shoulder. Leave, I don't like to be touch. Please leave. I want to scream.

I am sitting the floor, playing with my dolls, when I hear the door to the room open. I turn to look how is at the door and I see the two boys that I have been staying with for the past 3 weeks. They come up to me.
"Queremos jugar un juego. Quieres jugar?" They ask me.
"Okay." I get up from the floor and I look at them.
"Okay. Te tienes que acostar." I go and lay on the bed. Right when I'm about to ask what we are playing, one of the boys gets on top of me and pins my hands to the bed. As I try to kick, the other boy takes a hold of my legs. The boy on top of me starts to kiss me and I try to push him away but he is much bigger, I am only 6.
********************************************
I was brought back from that horrible memory by Vane pulling towards the table. We are seated in a table for four, so each chair was on every side. The whole time we are here Mr. Parra's hand brushes mine and my heart feels like it is being tighten. Every time I feel his hand I pull it away, but when he sees that I am distracted he does it again.
I look at Vanessa, waiting for her to pay attention to the panic face I have on. Please help me!!!
She is too busy in her own world that she doesn't see. She has too much to worry about in the next few days, with her mom gone, she is now responsible for the house.
