Episode 9

Andrea - What? What did my mom get herself into now?

Margarita (Mom) - I don't have time to explain, we have to deliver the money, Andrea, so give it to me.

Andrea - And how much is it this time?

Margarita (Mom) - 20 thousand.

Andrea - 20 thousand?? Mom, that's a lot of money, I don't have that amount.

Margarita (Mom) - Shut up Andrea, you do have it, it's your savings to cover your nanny's illness, don't think I'm stupid, so give it to me.

Andrea - You said it yourself, Mom, they are savings destined for something else, not to pay the debts of a person who only knows how to live as a leech.

Plass A loud slap that my mom gives me sounds.

Margarita (Mom) - Shut up Andrea, he is your father, one that, if you cared about, unlike the other one who left you alone when he found out you were a weak, filthy girl with no grace.

I hold my cheek and it hurts, but what hurts me the most is hearing her talk about my father and me, her only daughter, like that.

Margarita (Mom) - What are you waiting for, stupid? I need the money, like, now.

Andrea - You know perfectly well that I don't have that money here and I can't leave the hospital because my shift isn't over yet.

Margarita (Mom) - Well, talk to one of your useless friends to bring the money, Carlos will come for it in 1 hour, so you'll figure out how to get it to give to him.

I think about what my mom says and I have a plan to get my nanny out and end this.

Andrea - You know perfectly well that I'll never get along with Carlos, if you want the money, you'll have to come with him, because I'm not willing to give him the money alone.

Margarita (Mom) - Fine, Andrea, in 1 hour we'll pick up the money, so let's go, move it, go look for him.

My mom leaves in a rage, I just let myself fall back in my chair, I cry in despair because that money was to start my nanny's treatment, she has breast cancer, for now it has been controlled with medication, but she needs to start the treatment as soon as possible to prolong her life. I try to normalize my breathing and call Lucas.

Lucas - Hi beautiful, you know I like it when you call me buut friiend, for God's sake, it's 3 in the morning.

Andrea - (I react when I see the clock) Sorry friend, I didn't realize the time.

Lucas - Don't worry, friend, tell me, did you get home already? What's wrong, beautiful? You sound very down.

Andrea - I need 2 favors, Lucas.

Lucas - Tell me, beautiful, how can I help you?

Andrea - I need you to go to my apartment and bring the money that's for my nanny.

Lucas - Your nanny? Was she admitted to the ER??

Andrea - No, friend, I need that money.

Lucas - What's wrong, friend? What do you need it for?

Andrea - I'll answer that later, friend, please.

Lucas - Come on, friend, it's your witch of a mother, right? Did she ask you for more money??

Andrea - (I start to cry unable to answer)

Lucas - Yaa, friend, it hurts me to hear you like this, I'm going over there, first tell me what's the other favor you need.

Andrea - I need Dani too, for her to bring me the money and for you to go to my mom's house to pick up my nanny.

Lucas - Friend, but the witch doesn't leave her cave, she won't let me take her out.

Andrea - Don't worry, she'll come with Carlos to collect the money, the house will be empty.

Lucas - God willing, we can get her out of that hell, friend, so you can get rid of that pair of leeches. But friend, if your nanny leaves, won't you get in trouble with the witch?

Andrea - That's what I want to talk to you both about, so let's get together and tell you what I'm going to do.

Lucas - Okay, friend, I'll talk to Dani to go over to the hospital.

I hang up the call and close my eyes for a moment waiting for my friends to arrive, I need to tell them about my decision to have their support.
