Chapter Two
“Mommy?” I turned and saw Carlos looking at us. He looked like he wanted to cry.
“You’re awake.” I said walking to him.
“Go upstairs and put on your shoes.” I whispered to him.
“Why mommy?”
“Just go please. I’ll be up there in a minute.”
He nodded and did as I said. I turned around and Justin was just standing there looking at me. I looked at him in disgust. I couldn’t stand looking at him anymore.
“I can’t stand being here anymore. I’m leaving and I’m taking Carlos with me.”
“Good. I don’t want you here anyway. You’re nothing but a slut.”
I just turned and went upstairs before I hurt him. I got upstairs and went to our room and grab some of my stuff. I’ll come back later and get it. I went to Carlos’ room and found him sitting on his bed crying.
“What’s wrong baby?” I asked him kneeling in front of him.
“You and Justin mad at each other.” He cried
“No we’re not mad. We’re just sad. We’re gonna go to grandpa’s house and stay there for a while.”
“Why?”
“Justin wants to be alone. So we’re gonna let him for a little while.”
“Does he hate me?” he asked
“No hun. Of course not. He loves you. Everything’s going to be okay but we need to go.”
I got up and grabbed his hand. I walked to his closet and grabbed some of his clothes and put them in my suitcase. We walked to the living room and found Justin on the couch asleep. I looked at him one more time before I left. I wasn’t coming back.
We got into my car and we drove off. I was trying my best not to cry in front of Carlos. I wanted him to see me as a strong person. I wanted him to be able to tell his friends how strong his mother was and he couldn’t do that if he saw me cry.
We got to my dad’s house and I grabbed Carlos. I walked to the door and knocked on it. Nobody answered. I kept knocking for a while and Miguel finally opened the door. He looked surprised to us.
“What are you doing here? Do you know what time it is?” he asked
“Yeah… can we come in please?” I asked sounding desperate.
“Sure.” He stepped aside and let us in.
I put our stuff down on the couch and took Carlos upstairs to his old room so he could sleep. I walked back downstairs and found Miguel sitting on the couch looking at me.
“What happened? Why are you here?” he asked worried.
I couldn’t hold it anymore. I let all my tears and frustration out. Miguel immediately got up and came and hugged me. I cried on his shoulder.
“What happened?” he asked again
“H-he ch-che-cheated on m-m-me.” I cried.
