[Amelia's POV]

"Wake up, Amelia!!!" I heard my mom yell from the bottom of the stairs. I jumped up quickly, my head bumping hard against my head board. I groaned and held onto my head as it began to throb. My mom began spitting profanities when she heard the thump. "Lo siento, carino!" She apologized. I just groaned in response and closed my eyes. The smell of breakfast crawled its way to my room and straight up my nose. I inhaled deeply and let out a content sigh.

   Holding onto my head, I felt a bit dizzy. I laid back down for a couple of minutes until my head stopped hurting. Walking into the bathroom, I did a double take in the mirror when I caught a glimpse of my reflection. I wrinkled my face in disgust and touched my disheveled hair that looks like a rat nest. I groaned softly at my appearance, then began to do my morning routine.

  Walking down the stairs, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion and my ears perked up at a male voice that I recognized. I lightly placed my foot on the last step and tried to tip toe into the kitchen for some breakfast.

  The floor whined as my foot became heavy on the mahogany wooden floor, I cursed profanities as my mom called out for me. "Yes mom?!" I yelled in response, raising up out of my tip toeing stance, I walked towards where the voices were heard.

  "Say hi to Dwayne, you remember him right?" She asked, a bright smile etched on her beautiful face. She glared lasers at me when she realized I haven't said anything, or showed any friendly gestures. I quickly faked a smile and waved at him awkwardly. He chuckled softly, sensing the awkwardness that is radiating from me.

"Good morning Amelia. It's okay if you feel incómodo (uncomfortable) about me being here." I shrugged, pretending that I don't feel any way about it. My stomach growled hungrily, as I smelt the food just a few steps away from being fed. I smiled sheepishly when they heard it, my mom rolled her eyes and told me to go eat. I dashed out of there and headed straight for the food.

"Adios mamá, hasta luego!!" (Bye mom, see you later!!) I mini yelled and kissed my mom, then began to jog out through the door. Pressing the car key, I yanked lightly on the car door and stepped in. Throwing my books carelessly to the back of the car, I set my bag in the passenger seat and inserted the car key into the ignition. I smiled triumphantly at the roaring of my now awaken car.

My smile faded when I remembered who I left inside the house. I began to think up of weird scenarios, a train of them building up inside of my head. I don't think it's okay for her to move on from dad, they aren't even divorced, he died a few years ago. My head hung low in sorrow, I miss him dearly.

My heart anchored straight to the pit of my stomach, from the pain of losing him. I tried freezing the pain, but it's beginning to thaw as i started reminiscing old memories we shared together as a family. A tear escaped my eye, I quickly wiped it away and freeze the pain once more and embark on my way to school.

I sat in class, tapping my foot anxiously. Tying my hair back, I waited for my best friend to appear. I started tapping my pen on the desk and was startled when someone plopped themselves next to me. A smile started to itch it's way on to my face, when I saw who it was from the corner of my eye.
