Broken.

3. A New Life.

I'm New here. I'm starting today.
I moved here last week.
I'm running from my past.
Well specifically my mom..
She was jailed Last month.
I guess you should know a little about me...
My Name is Bella Guerro.
I'm 17 I'm also originally from Chajul..Guatemala.
But I've lived in Buffalo..New York most of my life.
I'm of Puerto Rican desent.
On my mother's side.
But I don't want to talk about her.
My father and I ran from New York as soon as we could.
She wants a legal battle but we don't want to fight it.
What she did was wrong and my father and I aren't getting dragged into it. I'm at home now sitting on my Armchair flipping through my phone looking for any reminder of my life or my friends back home.
I can't change time but I wish I could change fate.
I get up and walk to my closet.. School starts tomorrow.
I'm. Not. Ready.
I lay out my outfit for tomorrow.
Jeans and a cropped vintage tee.
I hear a knock at the door
" Come in " I call, very aware it's only my dad.
" How are you doing 'Mijo'?" He asks.
" I'm okay papa." I answer. not wanting to meet his eyes.
" No you aren't " he says as he comes and sits on my bed.
" I'm really fine." I answer looking away.
" Mijo you can tell me anything." He Says.
" I know Papa."
" I know you know but you won't tell me" he says cracking a smile.
That makes me Crack a smile. " A Smile is Contagious" thats what Mama always said.
" I just - I'm just nervous for school.. You know? I was Always had Rebecca and Eliana by my side. " I said looking away.
" I know Mijo. But everything will get better. I promise"
" Thanks, Papa." I said. Hugging him.
Here's a little background on my father...
His full name is Hernandez Manuel Guerro.
He is the most brave and amazing person I've ever met.
He came to New York in 1987 with his family.
He always tells me the most amazing story's of his childhood.
I've always wondered what life was like in the 1960 's in Guatemala.
I fall onto my bed just wishing everything could be over.
Well tomorrow starts my new life.
I. Can't. Wait. (SARCASM)
