later that day
    We are all on the couch doing our own thing. Mark and Angel are playing call of duty mobile and I have my nose in a book. Gaege is in the bathroom showering. I look at the time and its almost time for my parents to arrive at the airport. I get up and go to my room. I need to dress decently. I grab a white tank top and a purple cardigan with a long jean skirt. This is what my parents want me to dress like so I will if I am to tell them some new they won't like. as i walk out of the room I see Gaege playing with them. They all look up at me.
Mk- what are you wearing? You look like you're going to church.
L- i have to pick up my parents. You little shit.
A- oh yea i forgot they were coming today.
Mk- we should get ready too. They will kill us if we don't go with you.
A- yea lets go look like virgins.
L- are you going Gaege?
G- yea sure let me go put something on.
Mk- hey Gaege a word of advice put on a long sleeve i don't want Luna's parents to judge you by your tats.
G- ok i will.
They all go into their rooms and all come out looking like virgins. I laugh.
L- who will get married first to lose their v card?
Mk- come on luna we all know it's going to be you the way your mom is.
A- yeah she be throwing men at you like you are a lost puppy trying to find its owner.
L- come on y'all know i hate it when she does that to me. I will need to talk to her about that. But we should be heading out there almost here.
MK- what car are we taking the jeep wont fit all of us.
L- we have my van.
G- why do have a van?
A- when Luna first lived in Florida she wanted to live in a van so she did but her parents found out and made her get an apartment so she stopped living in a van.
L- yea and i had to work doubles to keep up with the rent but they my youtube blew up so i quit my jobs and now i do youtube full time now.
G- why no get rid of the van then?
L- because i like to go on trips with my friends and the van makes it easy. (I look at the clock on the wall) Shit look at the time we should be leaving now.

        Later at the airport
* Gaeges pov*
We are at the airport. We look around for Luna's parents but i don't know what they look like. Then I see luna run up to a man a little taller than me with a scar on his face. He looks a bit scary and a woman with long brown hair. She is shorter than luna.
L- MA! PA! (she runs up to them and hugs them. They must be her parents)
[LF means lunas father and LM means lunas mother]
LM- hola mija como estas? (hello loved one how are you?) ( she has a sweet tone to her voice but sounds very fluent it sounds like she was born here)
L- muy bien ma.(very good mother)
LF- mi niña que linda estas. (my child look how pretty you are) (his voice is raspy and has a heavy spanish accent)
L- thank you pa.
Mk- hi tia and tio (aunt and uncle) [if your confused about them calling Luna's parents aunt and uncle in the spanish culture many people call their family friends aunt and uncle of a sign of respect if they are much older than them]
A- hola(hi)
LF- hey mark, angel and... i'm sorry, have we met before?
G- no we haven't im Gaege, a ..(shit what do i say?)
L- he is a coworker. I will be working with him soon.
LM- mija you got a real job? I'm so proud of you.
    Ouch that hurts. Luna's father reaches out his hand and I grab it and give him a firm handshake.
LF- wow i like that hand shake very firm young man.(But then he looks down at my hand and sees a tattoo on my hand and he gives me a side eye look. Well my chances of a good first impression is out the window )
L- well no i still am working on youtube. But Gaege is someone I will be working with.
    Then I put my hand out to Luna's mother. She just looks at it and hugs me.
G-wow
LM- sorry i love hugs.
G- no its ok. You just got me off guard.
She lets go of me and looks back at luna. The look in her mothers face is disappointment. Then she looks at me.
LM- hello i'm Ana juanette. And this is my husband kevin.
G-its nice to meet you both.
LM- so you will be working with my daughter in boston?
G- well not.....um?
L- Ma we will talk about this later. Lets just go home.
LM- it better be good if you have been keeping this from me. (she looks at luna, her face full of anger.
LF- lets stop wasting time its getting dark.

The car ride is awkward. No one speaks. And luna tried to put on music but her father turned it off.

*Your pov*
At the apartment
Once everyone is in the apartment ma opens her mouth.
LM-now do you want to talk?
L- can you guys go to the basement.
Mk-yea come on Gaege and Angel.
I wait for them to close the door. Before Mark shuts the door, he gives me a small smile then closes the door. I turn back to my parents.
LF- we are waiting Luna.
LM- what is this new job offer you got? And why didn't you tell us?
L- i...i got a job offer living in a youtuber house with these other gamers. It's free. In Florida. I won't pay for anything. The electric,gas,water and no rent for 2 years then the house will be all for the members.
LM- o my goodness. You will be wasting your life. We had plans for you Luna. you would get a real job and climb you way to the top. IN BOSTON.
L- ma i do have a real job.
LF- no what you do is not a real job. You play video game on the internet. And get pay to do stupid stuff. You are like a puppet on the internet.
L- it pays my bill.
LM- what happens if this doesn't work out. Will you work on the streets to pay your bills?
L-(i start to cry) stop! Why can't you just be proud of me. I work very hard.
LF-(chuckles) you work hard?! You do nothing, you sit on your ass and play videogames. That is nothing. I work hard to give you everything. And this is how you repay us. We paid for your college education.
L- you made me go to college. I had no say in anything. You told me I had to do business management or you wouldn't pay for anything.
LM-yes because we want you to have a future. And you did have a say you could've gone to an ivy leageschool. But instead of going to harvard or yale you pick florida, FLORIDA! And if we didn't interfere you would have gone to california. So don't say you didn't have a say.
LF- now why are you crying? Everything we said is the true. You are an ungrateful child.what if this new job doesn't work what will you do then?
L- i would have my own youtube channel,my instagram,my tik tok and would still get sponsorship with other brands.
LF- NO,NO! I won't allow it.
L- can you both let me try this out? Can we compromise?
LF- on what you should just send everything to boston because this will never work out.
L- can you please just let me talk?
LM- no you are to stupid to think on your own.
L- please?(i look down trying to hold back more of my tears but it just gets worse).
LF-start speaking then.
L- if this doesn't work out i will move back to boston and leave everything.
LM- you should just pack your things because i don't see a future for you in this type of industry.
LF- No let her be she will come around. But in 2 months if you don't come home. Our doors will be closed for you.
L- so you're telling me if i keep on following my dreams i will be disowned.
LM- yes if you don't come around in 2 months we will no longer help you.
L- but you don't help, you only paid for my college. I pay for everything in here with my money from my "not real job."
LF- you sre just to stupid you cant see what we see.
L- why can't you be happy for me? I try, I really do try. I'm finally happy where i am at and you don't see that, do you? (my knees feel weak and i kneel on the ground in front of my parents)
LF- get up Luna.(he walks closer to me to lift me up).
LF- We should talk about this tomorrow. We have had a long flight. We should eat and sleep before talking about this again.
L- im going to prove you both wrong. If it's the last thing i do.
LM-Mija is your anger talking. Go take a shower.
L- ok i will.
LF- i want a new face when you come out from the bathroom.
L-Ok pa, i... I will.
I walk into the bathroom and start to turn the shower turning it all the way round to boiling hot, im used to the pain. As I walk in the to boiling hot water i start to cry hard knowing that no one will hear me.

*Gaeges pov*
G- shouldn't we go up these and help Luna out?
Mk- no, no. you would only make things worse of her.
A- at least she didn't get slapped for not talking back like they usually do.
G- wait what! They hit her? And what are you talking about in a normal tone.
Mk- we have known them for a long time. We know Luna more than she knows herself.
G- did you not hear what they said? It's so fucked up though.
Mk- yes, we know that but that is how they are. They will later say sorry and all will be forgiven. Then they will act as if nothing happened.
A- shhhh. I hear someone coming
We see Luna's mother walking down the stairs.
LM- i will be making food do you guys want anything specific that i should make?
Mk- what are you making?
LM- i will be making tacos al pastor.
A- csn you make horchata please tia.
LM- ok do you want anything in particular Gaege?
G- no, i, fine.
LM- ok food will be ready in an hour.
A- ok thanks tia.
She walks back up the stairs. Leaving me with my thoughts.
