I heard your knocking on the door.  I don't want to talk to my mom right now, she hurt me after doing this to my dad.  Why she did it?  Looks like she wasn't happy with what she had, me and my dad.

And the worst is not that!

The fact that she slapped me makes me very angry.  I know I crossed the line by coercing her like that, but if we talk now we'll end up fighting even more.  I'm not in the mood to hear excuses from her.

I waited for my mother to leave and she leaves too.  I packed my backpack with some clothes and jumped out the window.  I don't want to stay here another minute!

When I jumped through the house gate I had no idea where to go, if I went to my father's house he wouldn't cover for me.

— Come on, I can't yellow now! -I thought aloud walking aimlessly.

— Um… Grandma's house!

It was a bit far from here, so I had to take a taxi.  The driver dropped me off in front of her house, I knocked on the door and she answered.

— Honey, what are you doing these hours on the street?  -Grandma Lupe opened the door.

— I… I thought I'd have dinner with you.  -I gave a yellow smile, she wouldn't believe it.

— Come in, i made pasta and cheese, i didn't know you were coming.  Where is your mom?

— I fought with her… So I decided to spend a few days here.  -I shrugged my shoulders.

— And does she know you're here?

— So… No, she doesn't know.  - I said embarrassed.

— By God, she must be worried.  I will call her.

— No!  She's not even home, but I have reasons to run away! - I crossed my arms.

— Tell me then.

— She's a traitor, she betrayed my father! And she even slapped me!

— Oh dear, don't talk about your mother like that... -Grandma sat on the couch and I sat next to her.

— Since I can't speak, it's her fault that she and my father aren't together!

— Come on, don't be like that… Can I tell you something?  -She started to stroke my hair and I laid my head on her lap.

— Yea.

—Your mother already did the same thing.  -she laughed weakly.

— What?  -I looked at her without understanding.

— She ran away from home, by the way, when she was your age.

— Why did she run away? -I asked curiously.

— I had found out that you grandfather had cheated on me, I decided that I would separate from him, she didn't like the idea.  We argued, your mother was so outrageous that we almost got slapped!  So when i leaves for work... She ran away.

— And where did they find her?

— At a friend's house at the time, but you know, Yn, I understand why she got mad… She didn't want to see her parents separate.  I bet you didn't want that either...

— If she didn't want this why is she making me go through this too?

— Darling, you have to understand that your mother was wrong, she was wrong.  But now she wants to do the right thing, that's for sure.  She may have been unfaithful a few years ago, but I bet she's faithful right now.  Her mother had to learn from her mistakes, I'm sure this time she doesn't want to make mistakes.

— And how does you know that?

— Knowing, Yn, I am her mother.  - Said the obvious.  — Relieve your mother, you don't know what she's going through.

— But I wanted to know, that's the problem.  Everything is adult business, I can't stand not being able to know anything anymore.  Do you know how pathetic it is to find out during a television show that her mother cheated on her father?

— That must be bad.  How about we do it like this... Spend the night here at grandma's house.  -hugged me. — And tomorrow you'll talk to her, do the right thing, ok?

— Okay... Now, can I sleep in Aunt Lynda's room? -we smiled and she nodded.

— Of course you can.

We got up from the couch and walked to the realtor, I walked into the room where my aunt sleeps when she's here.  My grandmother went to her room.
