It was Olivia's day. I got ready, did my hair and makeup. I watched as I slowly straightening my hair, i can see the spitting image of my father.
"Okay." I whispered as I turned off the tool. I switched my pjs to the purple dress that Ruby and Olivia had chosen for the big day. Jamal texted me that he wasn't going to come to the party. I put on my flats as I opened the door of my room, walking around the empty home. I sighed as I walked to the kitchen and drank some soda before Abueltia came and helped me with the centerpieces.
"Ayy que bontia." She whistled as I let her in.
"Oh stop it abueltia." I gave her a shy smile as I gave her a box of the pieces.
"Ruby is going to be enamorado." I shook my head as we went to the yard and set up the tables.
"Ma! We leaving!" Ruby's mom yelled from the house.
"Ill see you church." I gave her hug and went back home, waiting for Jacky. I heard a honk and I went out running. "How's Willy?" I asked as I got in.
"He's getting better." She sniffs. "In about a week, the doc said you can come to see him."
"I miss him." My voice cracked we had made it to the church. Jacky wiped my tear.
"He's going to be okay mamas." I gave her a hug, crying on her shoulder. She pulls away and takes a good look at me. She wipes off my mascara off my face, and pulls out mascara and does a touch up. "You have fun, be a teenager okay? Just for today."
"Okay." I walked out of the car and saw Ruby and Monse handing out the pamphlets. As Ruby looked up, his jaw dropped.
"Wow." I smiled at the two, grabbing some pamphlets from Monse.
"Thanks." I told him. We stood there, passing out the papers. It was awkward since last night, you know, the Cesar thing.
"Bless you." Ruby said as a guest entered the church. "Can you believe we were here only a few hours ago?"
"When there was hope." Monse huffs.
"Oh, my God!" Ruby yelled, making me jump. I looked at him. "I mean, goodness." He chuckles as the padre stared at him.
"Seriously?"
"What?"
"There's a typo in the program." I rolled my eyes. "Their" is spelled with an e-r-e instead of e-i-r. Only e-i-r shows possession."
