I run and run, until I reach the place where my life turned upside down. I kneel down, touching the spot where my Mama rests. “Mama” I sob, “Mama, I need you. You love Ada right? Well turns out, she is transph0bic and h0m0ph0bic. She thinks Mari should be a boy, and she refuses to call her Mari. I can’t. I love and support Mari, so I can’t be friends with Ada anymore. Please Mama, send me a sign, what do I do? I love you Mama.” I kiss her tombstone, 3 times and head off. Later that day. “Tatti Tatti!” My little brother, Edurado screams in delight. “Tatti! I heard-a you skeep school today!” I had just come through the door, and it was late afternoon. “How’d you find out?” I whisper anxiously. “Papa told me.” as if on cue, I am greeted by a very angry father. “Tatyanna, Rosa Hernadez! HOW. COULD. YOU DO THAT? Why would you skip school???? Your studies are important, when I first got the call, I was in denial. How could my sweet daughter do that??? And I was worried, Tatyanna, I didn’t know what to do. Si, your mama always took care of this. You cannot, and will not disappoint me Tatyanna. I can’t believe you!” “Papa, please, let me explain!” I said, tearfully. “I had a huge fight with Ada.” “That doesn’t excuse what you did!!!! Now go to your room and no phone for 2 weeks.” “I HATE YOU!” I scream, immediately regretting it. It sounded so rude, and childish. I storm upstairs, sobbing, over ruining the relationships with the people I love most, in one lousy, stupid day.
