My mom stood up when I came in and hugged me. Even though I knew something was wrong I was still confused. Then she told me to sit down as she indicated towards the seat next to hers.
The next words that came out of her mouth terrified me, "Your father has been deported."
She kept on talking but it felt like I lost my sense of hearing as I felt ringing in my ears. I felt dizzy and numb in disbelief and I felt I had lost the ability to speak as she said those words.
That word that my family had feared ever since we had crosses the Mexican border illegally. All that was going through my head was the voice of my mother saying that dreaded word that we avoided so much, deported.
My ringing cleared and I broke out of my thoughts when she said, "¿Maria estás bien?" (Maria are you ok?)
My dizziness cleared I again found the ability to speak as I said I'm fine, but I wasn't I kept telling myself this wasn't real, that this was all a dream, that I was still in my room sleeping.
But this was reality.
I don't remember much after that. All I can recall was that we cried together and then my mom ordered us to go to sleep. The next day I woke up feeling like I hated life, I was mad angry sad I couldn't even decide on what I felt!
The weekend went by uneventfully and my birthday was forgotten. All my mom did that weekend was talk to relatives and worry about what would happened, my sister started acting more isolated than normal, and my brother not understanding what had happened would look for every sign of attention.
I tried to take this whole situation out of my mind by reading Harry Potter that whole week I cried myself to sleep and I would pray to wake up from this horrible nightmare.
As I got on the bus on Monday I sat alone and just stared out of the window thinking if anyone would noticed that I had been crying last night, since no one knew about me being an illegal immigrant I tried my best to hide it since I wanted to keep it that way.
When I got to homeroom. Everyone was buzzing with rumors about a new guy coming today. Most of the rumors where believable like oh he's from Japan or Australia, but then there were some that where pretty crazy.
Some said he was from England and descendant from the throne who was in hiding. Others said he was from North Korea running from the law, and the stories kept getting crazier one after the other, but those where obviously not true.... Right?
