He called all the time to try to speak to me and I ended up turning my phone off to have some silence for one, I was so angry that he held so much information to himself and didn't bother to even tell me what was going on and why he was really there to help me escape.

    After everything was said and done was I even able to accept that my mother had once had me violated to save her ass? Or did I need to see that my mother had not changed from that side of her because she was using me and Jose as shelter from those who were after her still while my father was left out in the open having to defend himself against the Mafia and the Boss of said Mafia's wrath that my mother unleashed by running away rather than paying them back to protect not only me but my father who was only trying to free me that night?

She told me that what I did was the right thing because that woman deserved to be killed for what she did to Esrath, to lighten the mood she suggested a drinking game and I denied it because I did not trust myself being alone with her while I was sober, let alone drunk. She assured me that it was not going to be just the two of us since she invited her friends over, we all participated in the drinking game however none of us discussed who was to remain sober so we were all tipsy by the third round, I was not sure what was to happen if I kept drinking but I figured we all were adults and knew to keep it PG even when drunk, what I did not expect was to sleep with my friend
