Present time
I parked my car in front of my house at Lake Villa, Illinois. I moved here two months ago from Mexico with Isiah. My Papa and sister Amelia didn't know I had come back until a few weeks ago when Amelia called me to ask me if I could go home for Franco's birthday.
I had no choice but to tell that I was already in Chicago, an hour's drive away from their house. I am glad that they bought a house in Chicago so they could live near Papa. I felt so guilty leaving him behind and ran away to Mexico. I cut ties with them when I left because I didn't want Marcus to find me.
I knew I hurt my father and how Amelia cursed me when I left, but I was so ashamed and angry at that moment. All I wanted to do was to run and hide. If not because of Isiah, I would be so lost. I didn't know how
