Chapter 52

February 12th came quickly and it was the day Maria was born. Let's say it was the day her birthday party had been celebrated for 13 years with the people she loved until Susan's death, it hadn't been celebrated ever since she lost her mom. Today she was turning her sweet sixteen but decided not to tell anybody about it.
She had sobbed so hard in her bathroom while taking a shower. She had wished their family could go back to the way it was, maybe her mother shouldn't have died and they could still be a happy family like they used to be. When she was done taking a shower, she came out before checking her phone to notice a text message from her two friends at school.
They had wished her a happy birthday. Maria only fixed a small smile before dropping her phone on the bed, she sat down on her bed before staring at the door.
