Now.
After I had found a way to get rid of the guilt for Cesar and Victor—although with Victor, it would take a lot of time and strength—I controlled myself. I reminded myself that I was giving him a family. A life he was meant to have. A mom, a dad, everything he wanted. A good sister who loved him. He was living the life that I wanted him to have. So I consoled myself with that, and the week passed on.
I felt bad just sitting at the house having nothing to do, while Leonard took care of the three of us. I was an adult. I was a big girl now. I was supposed to do something. So I got a part-time job at The Cave, a coffee shop around town.
I had just come from my first shift when I found my mom waiting for me in my bedroom.
"Where are you coming from?" she asked me, not even bothering to ask me how I was doing, even though we had seen each other that morning.
"I just came from work... I am so tired."
