Part 6.
"Maria, what happened? You said that you didn't have a mother or a father- but that's not true, your mom is fine! Did something happen to your dad? What happened?" Liz asked her.
"Nothing" Maria said.
"Maria, if you tell us maybe we can help," Max said to her.
"Yeah, like you would do that" Maria said sarcastically.
"Maria, we do care for people other than ourselves," Isabel said angrily.
"Well you know you don't show it" Maria snapped at her.
"Maria if you don't tell us soon I am going to kill you!" Michael yelled, beginning to get really angry.
"Michael shut the fuck up, I am so not in love with you anymore, that's what you wanted right? So now you can leave!" Maria yelled at him.
"Maria, what were you saying about your dad?" Liz asked Maria. She just wanted her to calm down.
"I don't have a dad," Maria said and sat down on the bed again.
"Maria, what happened?" Liz asked.
"They found him," Maria said without looking at them.
"That's great! Did you talk to him?" Alex asked. He smiled broadly. He knew how much Maria had always wanted a father.
"Kinda hard to when he's dead" Maria said and laughed bitterly. "Maria…I am so sorry," Alex said.
"I don't want your pity" Maria exploded angrily.
"Maria...." Alex tried to say but was interrupted by her.
"But I haven't even told you the worst part yet. The worst part is that he left me but took care of his other daughter"
"What other daughter?" Liz asked.
"He had another family. I have a half-sister and she's the same age as me. She moved in with Amy a few months ago," Maria explained.
"Maria…why didn't you tell us?" Isabel asked.
"I was going to! I went to Michael's, but he didn't want to talk to me, so…I left," Maria said, eyeing Michael.
"Maria, we are so sorry" Isabel said. If only she had made Michael talk to Maria, she never would have left.
There was a long, tense silence.
"Um, Maria? I was just wondering…where have you been all this time?" Kyle asked her warily.
"Mexico" Maria answered.
TBC.
