CHAPTER 2 - Day in the Life

Rosalina's POV

I woke up to the sound of my parents arguing if you'd hear them you'd think that they probably hate each other but that's not the case, my parents have been madly in love forever I hope I have that in the future I really hope I do.

I got out of bed to start getting ready for my always unplanned day which means I go through the day and just accept whatever happens. I went into the bathroom to everything I usually do and came out about fifteen minutes later, I walked to my closet to pick out today outfit and I always go for my usual jeans and a t-shirt, then I opened my bedroom door to go downstairs to have breakfast.

Rose's outfit

As I was walking down the stairs I could smell the amazing smell of the bacon my mom was frying, if I could eat the same thing every day it would be bacon but I don't like pork that's why I always like eating turkey bacon, you're probably thinking why doesn't this weirdo like pork, well pigs are disgusting animals who are so dirty I feel like their meat is as dirty as they are, and that is my honest opinion everyone has an opinion on food and you can't judge people on that.

When I walked into the kitchen I noticed that it was just my mom, I spoke "good morning mama" "Buenos Dias Mija, did you sleep well?" my mom was the only person that I'd ever told about my nightmares she had always been the one to comfort me at night after I'd woken up screaming. "Yeah better than usual, where's Papi?" I asked, "Where do you think he is," she said raising her eyebrow. "rough morning?" She'd always talk to me about these types of things probably because she barely trusted people who weren't from this house, "you heard us?" "well of course mom our walls are made out of paper." " it's just that he makes poor decisions when or comes to doing jobs for his boss, he never thinks if the fact that he's probably risking his life going to some restaurant to kill some random person." She said as she put my plate in front of me, then she sat in front of me with her cup of coffee, "He's just not careful Mija, it worries me" "Don't worry mom, dad knows what he's doing he'll be fine" I said before I started stuffing my face with my usual bacon and eggs.

As I was eating my mom asked me "Rosalina why didn't you go with your cousin to America you could've been places and done many things, and you also could've left this awful place." "Mami. I could never leave I don't I can't I just can't all I have is you and Papi why would I leave?" "for a better life mi more." A few months ago, my cousin, Jane moved to New York and offered to take me with her and I refused to, why because would never leave my parents, most of the time my dad doesn't sleep at home because of the nights he's on a job and if I left that means my mom would have to spend nights alone which is something I would never want for her it's better to have the two of us together than her being alone.

Once I was done eating I got up to go and grab my bag, on a daily basis I meet up with my best friend Jessica and we just sit around and do whatever we find amusing. "ok mom I'm gonna go meet up with Jessica now see you later, love you." "Ok Tesoro have a great day and don't do anything wrong".

(Tesoro: treasure)

Jessica and I have been best friends since we were kids, I remember we met at the little store at the corner of our block and she offered me candy, and it was pretty weird because kids we're very rude and obnoxious at the time, they never shared anything and would happily push you on the side of the road if they felt like it. Since that half of a Hersheys bar, we've been best friends and family, Jessica like the others doesn't understand my dream yet she still supports me no matter what.

I got to the corner of the street and I saw her standing with some guy, ugh great a new boyfriend. Jessica should be known for the number of boys she dated, the girl never gets tired of having guys around her, I've never understood the whole point of dating after that one boyfriend I had to me it was just a waste of time and energy, but to Jessica, I guess it was getting attention, she never got the attention she needed from her parents because they're just lousy drunks, she always wanted to feel loved and cared for and I couldn't be there 24/7 I could just be there for the time needed, so she chose to get it all from random boys who didn't deserve her time, but I was there I was always there when it came to her getting upset or going through a breakup it was my shoulder she'd cry on for hours and it was me who hugged her tightly when she needed those types of hugs. And I will forever be glad to be that person she hugged and cried on.

As I got closer to them the more I got annoyed that I'd have to deal with another one of these stupid introductions, I never told her how I felt about her boyfriends I just supported her throughout everything.

When I got to them I silently said "Hey Jess" "Rosa!" she said loudly "Hey! Meet Eric, we met last night at the Park". Huh, what was she doing at the park at night? Okay. "He's been around since last night and he's also great company. Right Eric?" she nudged him "ehehe yeah," he said scratching his head.

I decided to brush off all my thoughts and just go with it all. "Oh, by the way, we're going to a bar tonight Rose, wanna join?" now that, that caught me off guard. "A bar? You sure about that?" "Yeah you'll have so much fun you should really come!" "were gonna get going, pick you up tonight rose".

Wow, this girl's full of surprises, a guy in one night, going to a bar at the age of 18, what more Jessica what more.

I didn't even spend more than 20 minutes outside and now I have to go home and think of what to do and wear and on top I all of that I have to make sure I come and go without being seen.
