maricela got up and looked at the picture she had .. she covered her mouth and set it down

giovani; how old is that?

maricela: i was 14 in that picture he was 16 .. i was wearing long sleeves because my mom had beaten me so badly look at how frail i looked .. i covered that neck scar with my tattoos ..

viviana: stop remenensaying and tell me the truth

maricela: there not good memories you think i want to relive this pain?

viviana: chris gave me this picture and told me he was my dad he was both our dads and he was telling me you ruined his life and his families life he told me to ask you guys who you really are .. but is he my real dad? are yous serious?? please tell me im wrong?

giovani glared at maricela

giovani: think before you speak ill talk to her then you can explain the rest

maricela; she should hear it from me not you ..

viviana: i dont care who it is just tell me! tell me why i dont look like javi why he looks so much like you dad why he acts like you why dont i look like you why dont i have your ways?

maricela: you do have his ways the way you talk the way you love to joke around is just like him .. hes not your sperm donor but he is the man that stepped up and wrote his name on your birth certificate he raised you and he told me

giovani: i told her you would never know the painful truth because i didnt want you to ever feel like you didnt have a dad because i know that pain i told her to never speak on it thats me so be mad at me vivi

viviana: im hurt and mad not just huh

maricela: his name was adan i met him in my 6 th period math class i was the smart very quiet girl

viviana sat down and looked at her ..

giovani: mari where you taking this how are you taking this

maricela: the only way she can know the truth is with the whole truth .. but viviana i want you to know that i love you im your mother and i went to the ends of the earth for you ok i dont want you to see me or your dad or uncle or even your tata any different after this

viviana: i cant promise you anything

maricela sighed

maricela: ok thats fair but huh fuck .. me and him dated right off the bat i was being super abused and he noticed quickly i couldnt runaway there was no way for me to go if it wasn't college .. he helped me get into selling drugs he was a dealer himself and he taught me the ways because working a normal job wasn't going to make a dent and the hours sucked so i would go to school go work and make it home on time to clean and cook before they got home from work ya know

viviana looked at her

maricela: why the look?

viviana: your covering up things i can tell you dont cover up a parent and past jus because you sold drugs i get that

maricela: it starts from there i started selling lil by lil and i got really good at it adan was working for your tata and he took me in to because he saw potential in me

viviana: wait

giovani: that history will explained in a bit let your tio get here for that one keep going babe

maricela: he saw good potential with me and he saw that i was angry and trying to runaway from the abuse but when i ran off i didnt know i was pregnant with you my mom found me one day and kidnapped me i didnt fight it or try anything i accepted my faith i guess my parents took me to Mexico and locked me up in a room i was beat starved not let out your sperm donor had gotten locked up

viviana: wait locked up why?

maricela: in the mix of them looking for me my mother snitched to the cops saying he was dealing and he had gotten caught up with a stash he didnt talk and went down his brother had tried to help me but i had given up tata or his brother couldnt find me and i was trying to be found either

viviana: why would you give up?

maricela: because as hard as i worked and saved all my money they had control of me i still got beat i wanted to die i just wanted her to kill me and i thought i was dying because after a bad beating she had left me for dead i went i guess into labor i passed out from the pain .. she told me when i woke up from it that you where dead that she had gotten rid of you

giovani: breath unclench breath

maricela: unclench shit you would think after all these years i wouldve let it go and thats only the start of it
