I told the salesman the brand I wanted and then went to the jeep. I drove to the sea, where I started smoking while crying. I only did this when I was frustrated, because in a way, ironically, it gave me a break.Since I had not touched a cigarette for many years, I began to cough, but this disappeared after the fourth cigarette consumed. My cell phone began to ring and I saw that it was the house, I didn't want to answer it; however, I didn't want to worry the little girl any more.- Leave me alone - I told her - go to sleep, she's not here yet.I hung up and I could hear her affected, I didn't want to leave just like that to go home, besides I considered it necessary that there was a space for my anger to go down. I didn't like to argue with her; however, when she was like that, I couldn't remain indifferent and let everything go easily.I smoked until I finished the box of cigarettes, got up and began to take off my clothes to enter the water. A chill ran through my body as I felt

After a while the dough was ready and I filled it and then put the bread in the oven.- Shall we go to the pool," I asked the short girl and she nodded, "I'll go to my room to put on a bathing suit.I went to the bedroom and from there I took out the bathing suit I had. I needed to get some use out of it, otherwise it would deteriorate. I took a towel and we went to the pool. The little girl stayed on the shore, but I went in and wanted to swim.- I want to learn to swim - I told him - at least I know how to float.- It's easy to swim, just move your arms and legs in sync and you'll see how you do it.I tried to do it and although I made progress, I gave up very quickly, went to the shore and started talking to the little girl.- Who will it be?They had rung the doorbell, so I got out of the pool and went to the street, put my towel on and opened the door.- What are you doing here?The smile I was wearing was erased when I looked at Carlos at the door. The little girl came out behin

-Regarding what you were swallowing and what you were going through in case it existed, you would have come to me because I would have helped you, do you know why I would have done it? - he denied - because contrary to you, I was a good sister and I was there for you at all times, I didn't want you to go through what I went through when I swallowed so many things, I wanted you to feel relieved to say what you thought, however, things were different and in the end you only managed to poison your soul.-Lucia, please," said the little girl, "don't be so hard on him.-Are you serious?- I asked him - tell me how long the others were hard on me and you didn't say anything, I think it's the last straw that they come to play the victims and ask why I have this attitude towards them when they were the ones who made me what I am - I told him annoyed - but despite all the shit they gave me I thank them for this, because now I am who I am thanks to them - I looked at Carlos - if you appeal to th

Mr. Lund came to my mind and I am sure that if he were here I would hug me until I do not feel his arms, he was the first man who made me feel many things, but especially protected and it was something extremely pleasant, however, our paths crossed in a fleeting way and I could not return to his life, since we are both from different societies.I got out of the water and put on my clothes, I would go back to my house to see if the unwanted visitors had left and if not, I would take them out with my rifle without hesitation. When I arrived home I was greeted by the little girl who looked distressed.- Where did you go?- To the sea, I wanted to clear my head and there I find some peace - I told him coldly - I hope that what happened now will not happen again, I remind you that this is my house and if I say that it is not open to anyone, it is that it is not open to anyone.- But it is...- Enough! - I interrupted him - don't say again that he is my brother because I don't see it that w

- What are you looking at on that cell phone," he said and looked at the photo, "Lucia, but where was she?- At the airport and I was planning to go over to greet her, but thanks to you I couldn't do it and I could only take this picture.- You would have told me she was there and I would have waited no matter what time, I miss her.Aimee sounded sincere and I knew she was very fond of Lucia, but I couldn't do anything to greet her, besides she was so happy that I was unable to interrupt her happiness, sadly my impulse to want to kiss her the last time we were together didn't leave us on the best terms, I really am an idiot not to respect what she wants to keep for the man who enters her heart.- She is a nice girl - Saul told me - I would like you to have a relationship with her.- Don't talk nonsense - I told her - you know that Lucia was only present once in my life and it is impossible for us to meet again.- By the way," said Aimee, "what did Lucia go to the house to do?- That's

- Why do you consider that?- Because we met in unconventional situations and he is from a different world than mine, plus if our paths cross again, I don't know what it will be for, since what brought us together was simply taken and we each went our separate ways.- Lucia, didn't you feel a little love for that man? - she asked me. Because to be honest with the little you told me, I felt that you are in love.- The word love had no place in what we were doing, so I didn't develop these kinds of feelings for him.- You are definitely a tough nut to crack.- More than hard I would say that I am impossible to gnaw, love does not exist for me chaparrita and I buried it a long time ago.- Why are you talking like that Lucia," she said sadly, "you shouldn't say those things.- It's the truth, I never had any suitor, then Mr. Lund came into my life and he didn't even qualify as a suitor but as a buyer.- You are too drastic and I tell you not to close yourself to the idea of falling in lov
Preface
How much harm can the people who are supposed to protect you do to you? Those for whom you stepped on this world without even asking for it, but you have to thank them for having made the "sacrifice" of simply putting you here and even also for giving you education, roof, health, among other things.Do parents suck? Yes, maybe, but most of the kids who say that only know how to argue the fact that mom or dad forbids them to drive if they drink, and if they drink, to get good grades, not to do drugs, to keep their room tidy, and those things that are normal. Do you want to see what a shitty parent is? Come and meet mine. Hi, I'm Lucia. I'm Lina's youngest daughter, a woman who is neither good as a mother nor as a daughter. My father? He simply disappeared one day like the mist disappears before the first rays of the sun, but from what I understood, he was an irresponsible man who only lived lying on the couch, waiting for the money to fall from the sky. Despite this, my dear mommy of

Years behind the events:“Well,” said Lina, sitting down. “When do you plan to find work? I don't plan to keep a good one for nothing. You wanted to be a nurse, didn't you? Well then, find a way to practice because you're not a child anymore.”“I'm looking for a job, but please give me some time,” Lucia begged. “ It's a little difficult since I have no experience.”“Listen very well; it's enough to be supporting Carlitos with his career that I still have to support you. Either you look for a job as soon as possible or just get out of the house.“Lina,” a lady spoke, “leave Lucia alone. She is trying as hard as she can, but the situation is not easy.”“Stay out of this! This matter is with Lucia,” she said, looking at the girl. “If only you had gotten yourself a man, things would be different. Although, looking at your physique, it's hard for you to get anything good.”The girl's hands became fists. She took a deep breath, refusing to answer her as she deserved, and ended up turning
