As Katey waited for her family to board the airplane she looked down the terminal hoping more than believing that Javier would show up and sweep her off her feet. She then boarded the plane sitting down in the window seat as Suzie sat in the other. Her mother and father went farther back headed for a more quiet section. Then she heard screaming all of the sudden. There was a gun shot. She grew very scared and slowly looked behind her down the aisle and nearly fainted as she saw her father dead on the floor. Her mother crying on his chest as the killer got away.
A week Later
Ever since then she'd been staying in Havana her mother now afraid to go on a plane for a while. They stayed in a rundown hotel with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one large room serving as the kitchen, living and dining room. Katey noticed she was beginning to bulge slightly around her waist and then thought Oh no could I be pregnant? Katey took a small test and it showed there was definitely a child. She was scared of the baby at first but then began to wonder what her mother would do if she found out.
She finally decided to tell her mother, Katey walked up to her mother who sat on the living room couch enjoying a sip of tea. "Err uh mom, can I tell you something?" She said biting her lip unsure of what her mother's reaction would be. "You can tell me anything darling" She said smiling to her. "Uh you remember Javier right? Well … I'm pregnant" Katey braced herself for her mothers' reaction. Her mother was shocked and couldn't say a word. She truly despised that boy and now he'd gotten her daughter pregnant! "Katey, you've now done what I have always warned you about and I am not going to take in another child! Get out of my house!" Katey's eyes began to swell with tears as she said "Mother please, it was an accident don't make me leave" Her mother began to rage, there was too much pain and too much anger in her life and this was the last thing," Get out of my house now, pack your things and go!"
Katey's eyes were fogged with tears as she rushed into her room to pack her things in a suitcase. Soon after she was out of the apartment she began to wander the streets looking for a new place to stay. Katey would look for a job in the paper tomorrow, for today she needed somewhere to stay. She found herself in the poorer part of the town where havoc happened a lot more than the nicer parts of town. A group of men came up to her and began to tease her saying "What's a Babe like you doing out here all alone, why not come with me" and " Sweetie come with me and I'll make sure you have a good time." She began to walk faster to get away from the men who began to grab her. "Get away from me you jerks!" And with that she began to scream and kick.
A young man was driving in his car as he came into the poorer part of town. He heard someone screaming, a girl and drove over as fast as he could and ran out of the car as soon as he saw her. He went over to her and then said to the men "You get away from he" they then said "What are you going to do if we don't?" The man then punched the one who said that in the nose and his group ran off.
Katey watched in amazement as the stranger came up and protected her from the men. As son as the men ran off she went to the stranger and said "Thank you, so so much mister …." "Andrews , Diego Andrews." The man said smiling at her. "Oh and my name is Katey, Katey Miller."
