Days have passed by and I couldn't stop thinking of the person I saw. I was still in denial. It seriously can't be him. I saw him die in front of me. I saw him take his last breath. I even went to the funeral. I've gone to his grave for a while before I stopped because I couldn't handle the pain. I was lost in my thoughts when Flaco started to shake me.

"Hey are you okay? You've been a little off these couple of days" asked Flaco.

"Yeah I'm fine. Sorry just haven't been able to sleep these past few nights" I said lying.

Well not really lying since on Tuesday I started working at my bosses brothers strip club. Which I'm totally okay working there now cause I've been making way more money then I was over there. Then again this one is bigger so more people come. Just what sucks it gets raided every few months at least that's what the girls have told me.

"You should let me come over and I'll put you to sleep quick" said Flaco smirking.

I laughed "yeah in your dreams" I said smirking back.

He shook his head "anyways got any plans for tonight so we can start finding more info about blue eyes" said Flaco.

I laughed "really blue eyes but I'm busy tonight I can help this afternoon just after 8 I have to bounce" I said.

He sighed "I have a few things this afternoon how about you find something on your own and then when I get back I'll try to find more" said Flaco.

"Sounds like a plan" I said fake smiling.

Then the rest of our homies came and sat with us at the lunch table. We ate and talked about random bullshit. My mind wasn't really in any conversation with anyone. I just kept thinking of him. The rest of the day went by quick and I was home already. I made myself some food and I sat down to eat it. Then out of nowhere my aunt pops out.

"Hey Marisol, I was wondering if you could help pay the rent for the next 4 months you'll be staying here" asked Jimena.

"So even though the state gives you checks so you can provide for me and I pay groceries oh and bills you still want me to pay for the rent" I asked.

"Just for the next 4 months so I can save some money when you leave" said Jimena.

I sighed it's not like I had a choice. "Alright how much you pay a month" I asked.

"2,200" said Jimena.

"What really why so much" I asked.

"look at the neighborhood we are at and look at how big this house is" said Jimena.

She did had a point we do live in a private neighborhood and the house is big.

"Oh right. Okay well send me the info in a text so I can make the payments" I said.

"I will, oh yeah I forgot to mention that your grandparents said they wanted to meet you I told them I would talk to you I kept forgetting to tell you. Anyways do you want to meet them" asked Jimena.

"No" I said.

She sighed "look kid I know I haven't been a good influence with you more like I haven't been a good mother figure with you but you should get to know them. I know your parents told you they were dead because they were dead to them but you have an opportunity to meet your fathers parents" said Jimena.

"Your right Jimena you haven't been a mother figure don't even bother anymore I'll be leaving soon. My answer is still no. I do not want to meet them how come it took them a year to contact me after my parents passed away. Or why didn't they took me in instead of you. I had or have no one but you. I'm thankful you took me in when you didn't had to but please don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do" I said.
