*Door Creaking and Rattling*
The sound woke me up I am a very light sleeper, "What the heck?" I said getting out of bed and rubbing my eyes . I went into the living to see nobody but the front door rattling. I look out the peep whole to see my moms ex boyfriend trying to unlock the front door with a bunch of keys he hand in his hand fumbling to try to  see which one was which to unlock the door. I ran to my moms room. "Mami!" I shake her to wake her up. "Que? Que miel?" ("What? What honey?") "He is here, He is here." I say freaking out. "Tranquili quien esta aqui?" ("Calm down who is here?" She asked. "Miguel!" I say. Her eyes widen my mother and Miguel had a hard break up. She broke up with him because he was a drug addicted and an alcoholic. He was spiraling out of control and tried to get her into drugs as well. She declined and broke up with him. But he still wanted her. My mother, her money to buy drugs and alcohol. And he feared her taking it to the police. "Call the police Y/n, and go hide in your room." "But Mami , what if you get hurt?" I asked petrified. "Y/n,miel it will be fine go." She said stern, I went into my room and grabbed my phone and began to dial 911. "Hello 911 dispatch speaking what do you need?" The 911 dispatch person spoke. "Help, my moms ex boyfriend is here, he is trying to kill us. Are address is 184 c.8 street." I said whispering, "Ok police the are on the way," The dispatcher said. I then heard the front door creaking open the yelling then a swing of a bat and a thump. I grabbed my pocket knife off my nightstand and walked into the living room. I saw my mom holding a bat yelling in Spanish at Miguel who was on the floor whining in pain holding his head. And the 911 dispatch lady kept telling me not to go check. We then heard sirens and the police came in and arrested him. Turned out the police found guns in his car and he confessed he was gonna try to kill me and my mom. That's why we moved from Guatemala to Brooklyn miles away from him. He would be only serving 5 years which I think is pretty low for attempted murder. We managed to get out of there in a month surprisingly. But there are a lot of homeless people in Guatemala so I guess it make sense

And that's why we moved to Brooklyn New York

3rd Person POV

   Y/n and her mom got to Brooklyn and the house it was a small house but still managed to have 3 bed room and 3 bathrooms. My mom is traditional her way of showing appreciation is food. And my mom makes really good food so who wouldn't appreciate it. Y/n was 14 and she did meet her neighbors. They came to the door about two weeks since Y/n and her mom moved in. "Hola, um I'm Rio Morales and this is my husband Jeff. And our son Miles we just thought we should welcome you guys." She said she had dark brown curly hair and I am guessing she is Puerto Rican. But my eyes went to her son. He seemed really sweet, his hair being really curly, like an afro but it just went straight up and having amber but hazel like eyes and an amazing smile. "Oh thank you, My mom is just in the kitchen, um here wait here." I said walking away, "Hey mom the neighbors are here." I said, "Ok Mija, can you take the tamales out of the oven." She said taking off the oven mitt and putting in out the counter. I took the tamales out of the oven and began to set the table when I heard my mom speak. "Oh hi I'm M/n. I am guessing you have met my daughter Y/n. Would you guys like to come in?" My mother asked. I groaned, then hoping that the didn't heat it. "Oh sí," Rio said then her husband made an excuse it get out of here. And I couldn't blame him. "Honey I think the station is calling me I should go." He said, "Fine Jeff go," she said and I heard her husband let out a sigh of relief. "Hey Mami can I go t-" her son got cut off. "No Miles don't even say it." Rio said he groaned and I saw them walking in. I saw her son take a deep breath in to breath in the sweet smell of my mother tamales. I then put my curly hair up in a bun so I didn't look as crazy. Her son looked around and he caught me looking at him I immediately looked away and I heard a chuckle. "What so funny mijo?" His mother asked. "Nothing Mami," he said he kinda had a Spanish accent but not really. I on the other hand had mostly sounded mostly American. People around me spoke Spanish and had accent when they spoke in English. But for some reason I never had an accent except when I rolled my R's. "You guys are free to join us for dinner if you want." My mom said, "Oh we would be delighted," she said. Sitting down at the table, I then went to go grab two more plates and cups and forks and knifes. "Do you guys speak Spanish?" My mother asked. "Sí,¿ustedes dos lo hacen?" ("Yes do you do to?") "Sí, Y/n aquí lucho aunque todos a su alrededor hablaban Español" ("Yes, Y/n here struggled even though everyone around her spoke Spanish.") "Mami!" I said embarrassed, "Oh Y/n honey it's ok my son here was the same way for awhile. Poor kid couldn't understand a thing." She said her sons eyes widened and looked at her. I let out a small giggle and turned my head the other way. I turned my head back around to see him looking back at me with a serious expression. I breathed in and managed to contain myself. "Querrían ustedes dos algo de beber?" ("Would you two want anything to drink?") "un té helado si tienes" ("An ice tea if you have any") Rio replied, she nudged her son. "Un agua por favor" ("A water please") her son replied looking at me. I nodded and went to go get there iced tea and water. Then we all grabbed are food and with my mom of course we have to say grace. There were four chairs all around the table Miles and his mom sitting across from each other and me and my mother sitting across from each other so that meant I would have to hold hands with MILES. I was freaking out and preying she would forgotten. "Oh I almost forgotten let say grace, I mean only if our guests or comfortable with that." My mom said, oh god please don't be comfortable PLEASE. "Oh we are fine what religion are you guys." Rio said I was cursing my self out in my head. "We are Catholic." My mom said, "Really us too." Rio said I didn't even realize before my mom kept saying my name. "Y/n" "Y/N" my mom shouted. "Oh god sorry what?" I asked, Miles chuckled at me I shot him a look. I saw him breath in and out trying to not laugh. "It's time to say grace," my mom spoke. Oh god. We all held hands, while my mom spoke. "Bless the two family's at this and the food that we eat and bless for the future of an amazing friendship god bless, Amen." My mom spoke "Amen" "Amen" "Amen" we all spoke. We all ate and they left. I was washing the dishes with my mom. "They seem like a really nice family," my mom spoke I nodded. "Rios son and you, there could be a spark between you two." She said, "What? No mom we didn't even talk." I said, "So you two don't need to talk I can tell when there is a spark it is my job as your mother." She said, "There really wasn't mom, but ima try to go to bed. Good night mom love you." I say walking to my room. "Goodnight Y/n love you to honey." She said back, I put on some shorts and a tank top and my bonnet and I go to bed.
