Something about her

- 20 -

Camila turned over in bed, finally drifting off to sleep. She felt Lauren shuffle in front of her, turning around so Camila's front was pressed against her back. The brunette could feel her self slipping into a deep slumber, different images shooting around her brain.

Images of her mother getting ready for a date. She was in a familiar dress, one that she last saw her in. Then she was in her old bedroom. One she hasn't been in for almost 5 years. She heard someone knock on the door and then saw her self running down the stairs. What is this? she thought to herself as she watched herself open the door to see a young looking Dinah standing there with a Playstation remote in her hand.

"Sup Ralph" she said as she walked past her.

She watched herself smile and walk into the living room with her, watching her turn the TV and Playstation on and sit down on the floor. It was as if she was watching a movie about her life. She tried walking forward to explore the scene but she was stopped by a large piece of glass. So she watched the events fold in front of her, playing back her story.

"Mami!" Camila yelled up the stairs. "Can me and Dinah order a pizza?!"

"Yes honey, there's money in the jar!" she heard her mother yell back down and she smiled as she walked into the living room to get the phone.

"What's it gonna be? Need for Speed or GTA?" Dinah asked her as she dialed the take-away number.

"GTA all the way Cheechee" she answered and laughed when Dinah jumped up to set the Playstation up.

After placing her order of a Hawaiian pizza and two bottles of coke, she collapsed down onto the floor in front of Dinah, leaning back so the back of her head was resting against her chest. She smiled when she handed her the remote and wrapped her arms around her so they were resting on her stomach with the remote clutched in them. They started a game and about 20 minutes later, her dad came in with a pizza box and a bag of drinks.

"You know when you order pizza, mija, you're supposed to listen for when it arrives" he laughed as he placed the pizza on the floor beside Camila and Dinah. "It's a good job I was coming in from work when he arrived or you would have probably forgot about even ordering anything."

"Papi!" she yelled. "Papi, it's me! It's Camila!" she started to bang on the glass but he couldn't hear her. She felt herself tearing up at the sight of the man she hasn't seen in 7 years.

"PAPI!" she shouted even louder. But it was no use. She could only watch.

"Gracias Papi" Camila smiled at him as she paused the game and leaned over to fetch the box of pizza. She took the drinks out of the bag and handed one back to Dinah. After that, they ate their pizza, with a few slices left, and went back to playing their game.

Another 25 minutes later, Alejandro and Sinu Cabello walked down stairs dressed up for their anniversary date. Her dad was wearing a brown shirt and a black tie, along with some formal black trousers. Her mother looked beautiful in a long red dress and red heels. She smiled at them both as her dad led her mom into the living room.

Camila instantly recognized their outfits. She recognized the scene. The- "NO!" she screamed as she banged her fists on the glass, sure to leave bruises. "Don't go!" she yelled and screamed but it was no use. They couldn't hear her. She punched the glass harder and harder and she could feel the shooting pain in her knuckles.

"We're leaving now. You have both our cell numbers, don't you?"

"Si Mami" she answered as she pushed herself up out of Dinah's grasp. "You both look great"
