"She's dea-..." Sebastian started, "She went away." I finished.

She furrowed her eyebrows,  "Oh, I understand."

Junior stared at me sadly, "Where's mommy?"

"She's going away for a little while." I say sadly.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because, mommy needs rest." I tell him trying not to cry.

"When will she come back?" He asked me.

"I don't know..." I say.

"Junior are you ready to go?" Sebastian asked.

"Go where?" Junior asked.

"Para ir a la casa de la tía María." Sebastian said.

"Quiero a mi mamá." He cried.

"Mamá va a volver pronto." I said to him.

"Come on Junior let's get some ice cream." Maria said to him.

Junior sighed then nodded and followed Maria. Sebastian helped me get into Maria's car.

Maria drove Junior and I back to her home. Junior sat in front of the TV ignoring everyone else.

Maria's son and Maria's boyfriend showed me into my guestroom. Almost immediately I was bombarded with questions about how I got in a wheelchair.

"What happened?" Maria's boyfriend asked.

I didn't have a problem with the questions at all. I just had an issue with the fact he didn't introduce himself to me at all.

"Did you get into a accident?" Felix, Maria's only son asked.

"No." I said.

"Shot?" Maria's boyfriend asked.

"No." I said becoming annoyed.

"Then what?" Felix asked.

I somehow managed to tell them what actually happened that day.

"I was raped." I said lowly.

"You were what?" Felix asked.

"I think he said he was raped." Maria's boyfriend said.

"I did." I replied.

"You lying." Maria's boyfriend responded with loud laughter.

"You play too much." Felix said laughing.

"Why do you assume that?" I questioned.

"Because," Felix and Maria's boyfriend said in unison, "You're a boy."

"And?" I asked annoyed, "That means what exactly?"

"You couldn't have been raped." They both responded.

Was I adopted? This can't possibly be the same people who I share my blood with. Are people really this ignorant? I hope Junior doesn't grow up with this type of mentality.

"And because of the fact I am not a female means that I can't be raped," I asked.  "Right?"

"I guess you could've been raped, but isn't very likely that you were raped." Maria's boyfriend said.

"That type of stuff doesn't really happen." Felix said with an assuring smile.

That smile made me sick, it reminded me of the sick son of a bitch who put me in this wheelchair.

"Only Gringo's." Maria's boyfriend laughed.

"I'm tired." I said, "Can I talk about this another time?"
