I'm walking home with my siblings, Daniel and Kevin. Santiago is blasting music with his speakers. They're talking about food.
Daniel pulled me back.
"What?" I said
"Stop being mad at me." Daniel begs. 
"I just thought you should of said something instead of sitting there starring at me."
"No you don't get it Victoria I was speechless. I can't believe someone would say that to you."
"That's it, that's why you were quiet?" I questioned. 
"Promise"
"Please just say it" I begged.
"What she said about you and Jeremiah."
"So you believe I would do shit with Jeremiah. Really Daniel!!!?? Okay whatever. Bye" I laughed while walking away, next to my brother. Daniel just stood there with a look of shock on his face.

As we reach our house. My dads cars in the garage. Maria, Santiago and I say bye to Daniel and Kevin. we walked inside.

"baba" we yelled. He was playing with Jacob. While our mom was in the kitchen.
"Hi" he smiled.
"When did you get home?" My brother asked.
"I've been home all day"
"Why" Maria asked.
"Adriana come here" my dad calls my mom.
"I'm coming."
"Take a seat" Karim, my father tells us.
"Ur scaring me dad"
"I'm sorry. The reason I'm not at work is because I have prostate cancer".
Santiago jumped up. "What Fuck no you playing with us."
"chill. how soon did you find it? it can be curable. its not as bad as the other cancers. stop crying Victoria. he'll live" Maria reassures me.

"I didn't want to tell you guys cause I believe we can get through this. We can fight it. But I'm getting surgery tomorrow. We caught it early. Just pray that's all you can do. Please don't cry. It'll be okay"

It's not possible. I see this in movies, books, and other peoples lives. But I never thought it would happen to my family. I know its not a serious cancer but its my fkn fatherrrr.

I have nothing to do. I finished my math worksheet and my science questions.
I know it's sad to say. But I'm afraid of facing my dad. I'll just cry.

Daniel walks into my room with watery eyes.
"Hi" I weakly smiled at him with tears still in my eyes.
"I'm sorry. Ur mom just told me." He seats me on his lap and wrapped his arms around me.
"I know this isn't the right time to say this. But the reason her words got to me was because It hurts to hear someone was touching you like that. Someone who isn't me. I would NEVER think of you like that. And you know that." I look up at him and kiss his cheek.
