Diana Leaney López Ruano

she ran to me. to my arms. wrapped her arms around my neck and shed a tear on my shoulder. when were the roles switched? i didn't receive a new script. no one gave my lines to follow or advice on how to become the provider, the caregiver. I was not sent to hair and make-up. Not even a heads-up, "hey, get your act together because we need more from you than what you can give" hey, your dad is leaving on september 15th... hey, your brothers and sisters are going to act out and cause utter mayhem..... hey, your going to fail all your classes....... hey, your going to be alone......... hey, your mom is going to need your shoulder to cry on........... hey, hey you. wake up and smell the roses because life sucks. ps: the roses are fake. ps. this sucks.

I can't believe you are going to leave her. Darling Bella, so innocent and so tiny. I can't believe you will just walk away from her. From us. Look at Bryan! How can you ditch such purity? He knows not the world and all the horror it brings. He does not yet understand how satan can break up our family. Who are you? Did you ever love us? Has my whole life been a lie? The angry fights, the hurtful words. And all along you were planning, weren't you? Just biding your time until an opportunity arose to walk away- to escape. A tear drips down Denice's cheek... a steady flow of pain. A nine year old should not feel such pain. How will she be strong? She is powerless, fatherless. Leslie cowers in a corner... alone... what will she think ten years from now of the man who left her, right as her world becomes more confusing then ever? The anger dwelling in your heart spreads. It touches Steven. You pick on him and yell at him. One day, he might break....
