Narrated by Angel
I remember every moment shared with my sister Lorena. I taught her how to tie her shoelaces.
She always followed me, copying everything I did, always came to my room to sleep, holding my hand when she was afraid of the dark.
I won't deny that we fought sometimes, but like any sibling relationship, we had our ups and downs, but we never stopped loving each other, someone always apologized or both at the same time.
My friends started to tease me about my sister as she got prettier and prettier. No one knows, but I once got into a fistfight with one of the guys when he jokingly said he would be my brother-in-law.
When mom saw me with a cut on my temple, I lied that I fell.
No one would mess with my "zit," as I affectionately called her, because she wouldn't leave my side.
When my parents argued, I took care of her by putting headphones on her to play on the PlayStation.
My mother always tried to disguise the hurtful phrases my father said to her as jokes on his part, but I realized how cruel he was to her, I confirmed it once.
I remember when I arrived from school early because they had canceled the last class, I wanted to take advantage of completing the practical assignment and I had to research online, so since my father's laptop was there, I took advantage of using it, he didn't usually use a password and it had one.
I remembered that he always wrote everything down in a notebook, I looked among his things in the room he used as an office, I found a series of numbers and letters in uppercase and lowercase, he must want to hide something, I thought.
FLASHBACK
When I entered the computer, I saw that messages had arrived, I didn't need to open them, they were just displayed on the main screen.
He was having a chat with his group of friends at that time.
I saw a photo of a girl wearing a red swimsuit, her curves were lush, and what caught my attention was that she was hugging my father on the beach.
At first, I thought it was an old photo, until I saw his cell phone in his hand, in the image, it was the one he used now.
And everything was confirmed when I read the messages.
"That one is really hot, man"
"She has a good front"
His friends said.
"They are natural, you want to squeeze them"
My father replied.
How are your wife's?
Another asked him.
"NO... NOTHING LIKE IT... IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY"
My father replied.
Not only did he criticize her to her face, but also with his friends.
My mother is beautiful, but after having us, her appearance changed for obvious reasons.
"HA...HA,"
Another wrote in response.
"It happens after the children,"
Another added.
"I DON'T TAKE HER ANYWHERE ANYMORE, SHE LOOKS LIKE MELTED CHEESE"
That's what my father wrote.
That made me angry, my mother always told me that it was due to lack of money, that because she spent too much, there was never any money left over to go out to dinner.
"IT'S WHAT I MUST ENDURE UNTIL THE CHILDREN ARE OF AGE"
My father said.
So that's what he did, he didn't love mom anymore, and just so he wouldn't have to pay for us, he said he was enduring.
"Why do you endure the torment?"
"You have that Bombon in the shadows"
"Get rid of the flabby one with tires as you said"
I read that someone named Chino wrote as a nickname.
So he had a lover, knowing this would shatter my mother, she loved him very much, she never took what he said badly, on the contrary, she tried to improve for him.
If he criticized the food, she went to cooking classes.
If he criticized her performance in cleaning, she watched tutorials on how to do it well.
I used to admire my father, after reading this he is not a role model.
"I WON'T DIVORCE TO PASS MONEY TO HER, SHE WILL TAKE MORE THAN HALF OF MY SALARY"
"IT WON'T BE LONG UNTIL THE CHILDREN ARE OF AGE AND I DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING"
My father concluded.
I felt angry, he only saw us as an expense, I couldn't believe that.
I printed the conversation and saved it to ask my friend for advice, he had divorced parents and I wanted to know what it was like.
"You got out early too?. Lorena startled me."
"Hey, zit... Let's go... I want to see Julian. I tell her."
"Why?. Lorena asks."
"He will advise us... In case our parents separate. I tell her."
"What?... You're crazy... How could you think of that. She expresses agitated."
"Better start getting used to the idea... Read this. I tell her, passing her what I printed."
"It can't be. She exclaimed covering her mouth when reading."
We arrived at Julian's house, he lives with his father, since he divorced his father never went with anyone again, he only dedicated himself to Julian, he like my mother, loved his partner.
"In my case it was my mother who cheated on my father. Julian tells me."
"How did it start?. I ask him."
"At least you know it like this (He tells me when reading what I show him)... It took me by surprise... I arrived from school and I saw her leave with her suitcase getting into the vehicle of who was her lover..." She said "you stay with your father"... After that our lives changed. Julian tells.
"No... I can't accept it." Lorena said sobbing.
"If you want my advice... It's better like this... My parents argued a lot... They lived fighting... Before living in a house like that... It's better that they separate... And if you stay with your mother it's better... She knows how to cook... I had to learn how to do it... Dad works all day. Julian tells us."
"There were already signs of that... Dad always looked for trouble... Mom didn't pay attention to him, she doesn't take his insults badly... She believes that he loves her and tells her that with good intentions... I would think that only to be with his lover he set up those scenes and left. I tell Lorena."
"So you've thought for a while that he's cheating on her. She says thoughtfully."
"I couldn't choose who to be with... My mother directly didn't want to know anything about me. Julian tells us sadly."
"I don't want dad... I can't believe he's cheating on mom. Lorena shouted in anguish."
"You will live with your mother... When the judge asks you, you tell him. Julian advises her."
"But mom doesn't know... He says he won't divorce until we grow up... She deserves to know the truth. Lorena reminds us."
"But how?. I ask."
"You're always filming everything. Julian reminds me."
"Yes... From now on I won't turn off my camera. I affirmed."
End of Flashback
From that, three months passed. I was always attentive, when it was my turn to go out with him I always filmed him, I recorded his conversations with his acquaintances.
He was very careful in his actions, he distrusted that he was meeting with his lover when he affirmed to mom that he worked as an Uber.
Until I got sick, these climate changes always affect me.
My mother looked for me at school, taking me to the doctor, in the middle of my discomfort, they call warning that Lorena also broke down.
My mother tried to locate my father who didn't answer her, so that he would look for Lorena.
She always called him because he didn't read the messages while at work.
In the end we had to go for Lorena, I saw my sister very hurt, I thought she was indisposed.
But then the doctor told her that she had a mass in her ovary. I investigated on the internet what that meant. The results of my search altered me, the doctors called a tumor that way that many times can be good or bad.
I read more in depth what they meant by good or bad and there I understood that if it was good it could be treated, if it was bad it meant death and if it could be removed that would save the person who suffers from it.
Seeing the expression on my mother's face I knew that Lorena's wasn't good, that's why they had to operate, but she needed a blood transfusion.
Lorena got the rare blood type of my father, it was difficult to get, they didn't have it in the blood bank of the sanatorium.
So we had to locate my father.
My uncle Emilio called, he was dad's younger brother, he was a financier. He assured mom that he would look for my father at work.
Mom remembered that dad had to look for a client, of his profession as Uber, so we hurried to reach him by having a fixed time when he should pass by him.
Hearing him say that awakened my alarms, he never left his work, less to act as Uber, supposedly that was in his free time.
As I suspected he was with his lover, I kept my camera on, even though mom was a witness, I knew he would deny it and blame her for being exaggerated or compulsively jealous.
We followed him to where they were going. I couldn't believe it, he introduced that woman as his wife to his clients.
It made me angry to see my mother crying, he treated her very badly in front of all those strangers, he humiliated her.
That was unforgivable, I uploaded it directly to my story, with the legend "we discovered him with his lover".
I didn't care what they said about me, I wasn't going to tolerate him treating my mother that way and then getting away with it as he used to do.
Contrary to what I believed, many were in my favor, they gave me words of support, and said phrases against him.
It hurt me more that he didn't want to listen to my mother to go save Lorena, he had to donate blood to his daughter to save her life, but he only cared about continuing with his lover.
It was painful to know that we meant nothing to him. He only saw us as a burden.
Two hours had passed since everything that had happened, and the doctor called us to say goodbye to Lorena.
If he had only paid attention at the moment when my mother begged him to come donate blood for Lorena's intervention, my sister would be here with me.
The wake was like a movie in slow motion. I never imagined that I wouldn't have my little sister with me.
I looked at the world we created together in the game, my shieldmaiden wouldn't be by my side anymore, we wouldn't look for diamonds together, nor would we build houses together.
Julian who was my best friend, with whom I always hung out, didn't leave my side.
I have many friends from the neighborhood, with whom we shared games, outings, but with Julian we are more united.
I heard my father shielding himself for the video I uploaded in my story.
"It was just a work meeting"
"That my mother is a jealous"
"That she always exaggerates things"
So I uploaded the video of him kissing his lover, I wasn't going to do it, but his hypocrisy tired me.
And I put "For being with his lover he didn't save my sister from dying".
They will say that I am impulsive in my reactions, but I wouldn't let him tarnish the image of my mother with his statements.
We returned home with mom, she felt so empty, the silence deafened us.
"Angel... If you want you can go to your friend's house... I'll understand that you can't be here... I can't either... Maybe I'll go to my friend's house. My mother told me."
I hugged her tightly giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"You have me... I won't leave you alone. I affirmed her."
"You are very sweet... But go with your friend... You need them at this moment. She tells me."
I knew she wanted to vent, cry, scream, and she didn't do it to show herself strong in front of me.
"I'm going to Julian's. I told her."
"Good treasure... Call me if you need anything... I'm going to Mari's house. Mom tells me, that she will be at her friend's house."
"What will we do with the house?. I ask her, remembering what someone asked her at the wake."
"For now nothing... We'll see as we go along. She told me."
I went to my friend's house, we started playing on the PlayStation, that was the way I had to distract myself.
