AN: Go reviews and reviewers go! I know this chapter is on the short side but I promise that the next one will be up soon and it will be nice and long. I have to go out with a bang don't I? ;-D
(Assume that this is all spoken in Spanish) - Javier's conversation with his mother
"But, Mother, you must understand…"
"Javier, we can't keep them here! I know you care very much for this girl but we don't know what might happen if they stay here." Javier's mother looked torn between distraught and frustration at her son.
"Mama, are you saying that Castro won't be good for us? Your husband gave his life for this revolution and you are telling me these things? I wouldn't be surprised if he just rolled over in his grave!"
And with that his Mother slapped him hard across the face and started to cry. Javier knew he had overstepped his bounds but he couldn't help it. Javier was still surprised by his mother's reaction; she never hit any of her children and least of all him since he literally supported and kept this family together! He was getting angrier by the minute. How dare she talk and treat him like this. It was time to put her in her place. Javier looked at his mother with a new fire burning in his eyes.
"How dare you strike me! If Katey leaves so do I. Lets see how you manage without having dependable Javier holding this family together."
Javier's Mother looked at him fearfully.
"How can you do this? Look at Chabe and Rafael? How can you leave them like this?" Javier could see in her eyes that she was not going to let Katey stay. He was struck by utter disbelief. He has to leave now. But to where? It didn't matter so long as he had his Katey in his arms.
"Goodbye Mama."
"Javier, NO!"
"I said goodbye."
With that Javier walked out into the living room to get Katey and her family.
