Broken Promises
Gabriela tried to keep her voice calm as she reached for the light on the bedside table and flicked it on.
"Can you come and pick me up?" Carla asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Carla where are you?"
"I'm at a party, I really don't feel well Tia Gabby!" Gabriela could hear the fear and worry in her nieces voice, "I've never felt this bad in my life!"
"Okay Carla just take a few deep breaths," Gabriela tried to think about what would be the responsible thing to do.
"Mom and Dad think I'm at a friends voice, I already called and said I was sick and you were picking me up. I said your house was closer."
"Carla I-"
"I'll text you the address," Carla cut her aunt off and hung up the phone without another word.
Sure enough a few minutes later an address appeared on her screen; the address in question was definitely not closer to her house but she got up and got dressed anyways. She figured it was going to be a long night.
Gabriela pulled up to the house and saw Carla sitting on the porch steps. She stood up and wobbled over to her aunt's car.
"I'm not going to even start about your dress! If you can call that a dress!" Gabriela eyed he nieces outfit that barely touched her hips.
"Fuck you," Carla slurred as he eyes began to close.
Gabriela whipped around in her seat and grabbed her nieces arm, "You don't talk to me like that young lady! You're lucky I don't call your father right now, let him take you to lock up so you can spend the night in jail."
"Yeah right, my father doesn't care."
Gabriela was doing all she could not to explode at her niece, how could she be acting like this. It seemed as if she had done a complete one eighty after entering high school.
"Put your seatbelt on and don't you dare say a word unless I ask you to." Gabriela started the car.
Carla slumped in her seat but did not due up her seatbelt, "Seatbelts are for retards and losers."
Gabriela unbuckled her seatbelt and reached over her niece and yanked hers on, "You unbuckle that seatbelt I swear they'll be hell to pay."
Carla unbuckled it.
Gabriela growled, "You're in so much trouble," Gabriela buckled her in again and drove off into the night.
The drive to Gabriela's house was made up off an awkward silence. Gabby did not know what to say and Carla was half asleep by the time they got onto the highway.
"You're going to tell your parents," Gabriela told her, "You're not keeping this from them."
"Tia Gabby," Carla threw up all over herself and the seat.
Gabriela rubbed her hand over her face. "Sorry kiddo that's what happens when you're drunk."
"I hate you," Carla whipped her face and plugged her nose.
"Not the best thing to be saying when I came to pick you up at two Am."
"Well I don't care," Carla closed her eyes and fell into a slumber.
Fifteen minutes later Gabriela pulled into the driveway of her house. "Carla wake-up," She gently shook her nieces shoulder.
"Fuck you," Carla mumbled, "Go away."
Gabriela's eyes widened, "Carla Dawson you get up right now!" She tugged her arm and squeezed it tightly.
"Go away!" Carla slurred.
Gabriela was trying to control her temper. She could not believe the attitude Carla was giving her. And even though she knew how horrible she was feeling she did not feel much sympathy for her. She got too drunk at a party, it was her fault and she needed to learn what happened.
Gabriela got out of the car and walked over to the passenger side, opening the door she took Carla's hand and put it on her shoulder, "Come on, we're going in the house."
Barely awake Carla put almost all of her weight on Gabriela and dragged her feet into the house.
"You can sleep on the couch. There's a bag beside you if you need to throw-up." Gabby helped her onto the couch in the living room and then got a grocery bag and put it beside the couch on the floor.
"Goodnight," Carla said before drifting off into a deep sleep.
"Goodnight," Gabby kissed her head and walked quietly back upstairs and into the master bedroom.
"So, how is she?" Matt asked as his wife climbed into bed.
"Completely out of it, she won't remember any of this tomorrow."
"What are you going to tell her parents?"
"I don't know," Gabby admitted.
"You are going to tell them right?"
"I think so….I mean….I don't know Matt. I don't know what I'm going to do." Gabby put her head on his chest and closed her eyes. "I'll know in the morning."
The next morning Carla awoke to Michael and Serena trying to climb on top of her.
"Stop it," Carla shoved them to the ground and rolled back over.
"Carla," Matt scolded, "That was not necessary!" He picked up Michael and Serena and soothed their tears.
"Stop talking!" Carla rubbed her head, "I have a migraine!"
"That's because you're hung-over," Matt pulled the blanket off of her, "Now get yourself up, your Aunt wants to see you in the kitchen.
Carla groaned and rubbed her eyes but she slowly got to her feet anyways.
"I want coffee!" Carla demanded as she walked into the kitchen, "Now!"
"Sit down!" Gabriela ordered as she pointed to the kitchen chair beside hers, "We're going to have a little talk about last night."
Carla rubbed her nose, "I barely remember anything."
"Do you remember having sex?" Gabriela picked up an opened condom wrapper out of her purse and handed it to her.
"No," Carla scrunched up her nose.
"Don't you dare lie to me!"
Carla stood up, "I HATE YOU! YOU WENT THROUGH MY THINGS!"
"After what happened last night young lady I have every right to, now sit down!"
"NO!" Carla yanked her purse away from Gabriela and stormed out of the kitchen.
Hearing the front door slam Gabriela rushed after Carla but by the time she got outside her niece was out of sight. She couldn't have gone to far. Gabriela thought to herself.
"Carla!" She walked down the driveway and then around to the back of the house, "Carla we need to talk! After twenty minutes of looking up and down the block Gabriela collapsed on the living room floor beside her husband.
"I can't find her anywhere!" Gabriela's head fell into her hands, "Antonio and Dani are going to kill me."
"Hey, hey it wasn't your fault, you didn't make her run away."
"Yes it is. I should have taken her straight to her house last night. I didn't because I knew Antonio would ring her out and after what she went through…."
"Then she would have just run away from home."
"You don't know that!" Gabriela stood up startled by the ringing of her cell phone.
"You answer it," She shoved it into Matt's hands, "It's Antonio, he's at work."
Seeing how anxious his wife was Matt answered the phone.
"Hey Antonio."
"Hey Matt," Antonio's voice sounded rushed, "You guys haven't seen Carla have you? She's not at her friends house anymore and she's not answering her phone."
Thinking quick on her feet Gabriela grabbed the phone, "Actually she's here with us. She called last night, she wasn't feeling well, so I picked her up. Her friend lives closer to us. She's still sleeping; I'll keep her here and drive her home later.
Antonio took a deep breath, "Way to give us a heart attack sis."
"Sorry, I was going to call you later."
"Yeah well next time call us when Carla calls you," Antonio's voice sounded relaxed.
"Will do." Gabriela bit her nails, "Sorry I have to go the twins are getting fussy."
"Yeah, you go I'll see you later," Antonio hung up the phone.
As she placed her cell phone on the coffee table Matt watched his wife. In the almost nine years that he had known her he had never seen her betray and lie to her brother like that. Gabriela loved her brother, they were best friends and she would do anything to protect them, Being godparent to all four of his children though she was over-protective of them and loved them like they were her own.
"Gabby-' Matt could only get out her name through his shock.
"I-just," Gabriela ruffled her hair, "I didn't know what to do."
"Well you just dug yourself a huge hole. What is something happens to Carla now!"
"I know that!" Tears flooded Gabriela's face, "I know, but I need to find her, she has to be okay."
Matt pulled Gabby into a hug and held her close, "You go look, I'll stay here. Just promise me though, if you don't find her by dark, you'll call Antonio."
Gabriela buried her head in Matt's chest and cried.
At seven o'clock at night after looking for Carla for over six hours Gabriela rubbed her eyes as her cell phone rang. Looking at the screen she saw Antonio's name and figured it was as good of a time as any to tell him what had happened.
"GABRIELA!" Antonio screamed, "WANT TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MY DAUGHTER'S IN THE HOSPITAL!"
Gabriela didn't know what to say.
"YOU BETTER HAVE ONE HELL OF A GOOD REASON FOR LETTING MY DAUGTER GET RAPED!" Antonio ended the converstation.
