2 years without mia's grandma. mia had just woken up to julia and alessya shaking her, she looked at them both to see breakfast on her bed. a breakfast burger and apple juice on the side.

mia: what's this for
alessya: you'll be okay today mia, we're here if you wanna talk, we're not going anywhere
mia: ik it's her two year but you don't have to do this
julia: when it was her one year, you couldn't even get out of bed
mia: well that was her one year, i'm getting better and i can get out of bed
julia: ok miaaa
alessya: i'll leave you alone
mia: thanks guys
julia: anytime

they closed the door as mia started eating her food in silence, mattia was at home still asleep and mia zoned out.

flashback

i'm gonna go see my abuelita today since it's my 8th birthday, it's been two years since i've seen her and i miss her so much. i also miss abuelito but me and my abuelita have such a tighter bond, i don't wanna lose her. i grabbed my moms phone and headed for the door, i always went on it during long car rides.

(i am aware it's abuela and abuelo but i call mine abuelita and abuelito)

dad: lista
lucas: mhm
dad: vamonos

i knew antonio would fall asleep halfway there since he was playing on the xbox with lucas almost half the night. how was he not tired, we literally went to the beach and i passed out in the car and once i got to my bed, i was asleep. i played candy crush on my moms phone and decided to sleep instead.

antonio: mia wake up
mia: go away
lucas: we're at abuelita's
mia: OH YAY

i got out of the car and ran to the house, my parents were still getting stuff from the car and i saw my abuelita. i ran up to her and hugged her leg since she didn't know i was there, she turned around and picked me up smiling.

abuelita: mira la chiquita

she always called me "chiquita" and i loved the nickname, since i was the youngest she gave me that nickname. i was also her favourite.

mia: hi abuelita
abuelita: hola chiquita
mia: is there cake
abuelita: not yet mija, soon tho
mia: where's giselle
abuelita: upstairs
mia: gracias abuelita
abuelita: de nada mija

i ran to my cousin giselle's room and jumped on her bed, she hugged me and grabbed her ipad to play some games with me or watch youtube videos.

giselle: i can't believe you're 8
mia: so are you
giselle: i knoww
mia: and i'm taller
giselle: i know
mia: let's make slime
giselle: YES

we finished making slime and took a nap, it was around 7pm and i woke up to giselle shaking me.

giselle: c'mon mia, your cake
mia: oh

i ran downstairs and sat at the table, i saw my mom bringing me the cake and i kept smiling. she set it in front of me with the candle 8 on fire, i took some pictures and my abuelita held me close to her. i kissed her cheek for the picture and everyone started singing happy birthday to me. i told them to stop at 8 and antonio pushed my face in the cake, i punched him in the private part and my mom yelled at me.

mom: MIA
mia: he ruined my cake mama
mom: you didn't have to do that
mia: i did and i'll do it again
