Episode 4

I wanted to cry, to scream. But i really couldn't, i just got up and walked into the store. “Oh rose!” The cashier was an old friend of my mom, they always gossip about people. Her name is Elena, she's from spain with a brooklyn accent, she's twenty five but she can't get a proper job due to her lack of education. She couldn't afford a proper education in Spain or in this country so she makes a profit here. “Your soaking wet! Take whatever, it's on the house, would you want me to drop you off?” She was very concerned.

“Would it be a bother?” I ask. She looks at me, crosses her arms. “Of course not, Papi come take the cashier I'm dropping off Ria's daughter!” she yells. Her dad calls back “no hagas nada mujeres! Múdate ya tu mamá y yo nos estamos volviendo locos” by his tone he didn't sound happy. “Eh Papi look, i love you! But you got the brain of two bread sticks so how do you expect me to get a life huh!” her brooklyn accent came from the new york TV shows she grew up watching in Spain. She's like my auntie.

“Me estoy volviendo loco, ¡ me oyes loco!” He shouts. “Papi i get it, you're going crazy but i think it's because of the late nights you spend with ma. Love yah, be back in a jiffy!” She kisses his forehead and moves out. “Gracias señor Reyus” I thanked him, he kissed my hand, sending me off.

The ride was bumpy but nice and warm. “What are you doing in this rain girl, your father be crazy to be sending you off in hea” She sighs. “It's not his fault, he's kinda stressed out. I just had a problem with those boys, I could have been in and out” I made myself comfortable, lying down in the warm cozy seat. “New baby daddy?” I ask. A Jeep with seats that warm your butt, Elena could never afford this.

“You know it, but he's the caution type. He doesn't want his wife to find out, why doesn't he just break it off. Wuss, I shouldn't have chosen him anyways” Elena always makes me laugh, she's my comedy reality TV show in real life. “Elena!” i yell. “Hey, so what he has a wife, what he doesn't have is a leash.  que las mujeres is crazy! Miha im telling you, she's from England but she has the mouth of a diabla from hell” I looked at her with a confused look. “What? What's a diabla?”

Elena looked shocked but mad. “Miha are you kidding me! I didn't give you that book for nothing. Oh amar dear ****** mary! Ugh” Not too long ago two months before, she gave me a whole nine hundred pages of spanish words, sentences, paragraphs. “Well I have homework, and school is a pain” I sigh. “Dear lord, bless me. Lighten up, maybe someday you’ll meet someone experienced as me, but the male version” She laughed.

i blocked her mouth with my hand, i couldn't believe what she was telling me! “Your in highschool, you should know this kinda stuff. Especially from someone with experience huh” she mumbles.

“Your gross” I roll my eyes, laughing. “Come on you must have at least some fun right! Back in Spain we’d use to go to parties and get drunk with tequila, our specialty!” she finished that sentence with a spanish accent, sparking her hands around. “I thought you were poor?” I ask.

 “I was, I drank stuff I couldn't afford in a lifetime, and that's why I was so grateful.” She giggled. “Yeah I mean you're holding a gun to a guy's head with a loaded trigger, what can yah do? Papi never liked it, and ma… Well lets just sayt these scars came from a proper discipline aight” She finished off with grabbing my hand.

“You see your young, and you don't see it until you grow, you're not young forever. All the possibilities are right in front of yah, so do me a favor and jump a fence once in a while” I knew what she meant was pass my boundaries a tiny bit more, have some fun. Little does she know, fun my middle name…

''Well here you are '' she dropped me off, my mom was waiting outside with my dad. “Thanks Elena” my mom opens the door, leading me out. “Ay, Brady! Look after yo kid would yah!” Elena said, rolling down her window, my dad laughed. “Sure will” It ended and I made my way to my room. I sat down for a couple hours til i got notifications.

“Rose Rose Rose Rose” the messages wouldn't stop, it was from Stel. She called and Rose finally answered. “What!” she yelled. “Fine then I won't call you” Stel said, before hanging up Rose sighed. “No! Sorry, just a rough day” Rose said. “You think! The ice cream truck drove away before I could get ice cream! Bloody truck” Rose laughed, she couldn't stop.

“Don't laugh! Oh the holidays coming up, don't forget to come over. We may have lost Alex but we haven't lost our amazing moves” Rose stared blankly into

“So how's the three musketeers?” Jack Brock and Levis nicknames. “Eh I did something wrong I didn't tell you about, I will later! I promise.” We went on and on until i got called for dinner, i told her bye and that i'll be back. But i knew if i did come back, she’d be sleeping like always. She couldnt stay up for less than an hour, dumb sleepy head...
