Well here is the final chapter. Every story about abuela actually happened to my own grandma. Enjoy.
Camila sat beside the bed as she waited for her mother to wake up. It was a lot of explaining she had to do and it wasnt gonna be easy. She had made herself some tea. As she began sipping her mother woke up. " Am I dead?" Abeula exclaimed." No mama, you are still alive." Camila said, taking a sip of her tea. " Is that devil here? The one disguising herself as Vee." Abeual said as she went from lying down to sitting." Um Mama that was Vee. Look I have some things I have to tell you about the summer Luz went to camp." Camila said as she began the long story of that eventful summer….
A bit later….
Camila had just wrapped up explaining to her mother everything about the demon realm and her daughter's sexuality to her mother and she did not take it well. "How could you allow your daughter to fall into such satanic practices? Clearly you have failed as a mother and as a role model." Abeula said completely frustrated. " Oh that's so rich coming from you mom." Camila said clearly frustrated. " I have no idea what you are talking about." Abeula said as she turned away. " You want me to list them off how about
the time as a teen i was hit by a car and the only thing you could think to say when I regained consciousness was its ok to fart." Camila said as she was clearly getting years of pent up frustration at her mother off her chest. " But it was true." Abeula said. " How about when Luz was in choir. During her 1st performance you shouted get that fat kid out of the way i can't see my granddaughter. Me and Manny ducked half expecting the kids parents to clock you in the face." Camila said to which Abeula replied" How the
hell am I supposed to see my granddaughter if a fat kid blocks my view." in a clear attempt to defend her behavior. "How about the time we stopped at stop n shop during a drive to Maria's birthday party and we had to get breakfast and cards and you grabbed the wrong bagel with your bare hands and instead of letting me pay for it you not only put it back but touched every bagel in the case with your bare hands." Camila said. "I never did that." Abuela said which only frustrated Camila even further."Oh really then
why are you banned from stop n shop?" Camila said just completely annoyed with her mother at this point. " None of that matters. No granddaughter of mine will fall into the sin of the gays." Abeula said as she crossed her hands as if she had her mind set. " This is just like me and Manny all over again." Camila said, knocking over her tea in frustration. " I have no idea what you are talking about?" Abeula said, visibly confused. " You really don't remember. Let me refresh your memory. The moment you found out
Manny was Puerto rican you hated him. No daughter of mine is gonna marry a filthy boricua." Camila said as her mother finally began to show signs of guilt. " Your grandaughter's girlfriend saved your life. And before she and the rest of them came into the picture Luz was miserable. So i suggest you think this through before you end up severing all ties with your granddaughter." Camila said as she left the room. Abeula just sat there. Pulling the bible out of her bag she stumbled onto Proverbs 11:17 People
who are kind will be rewarded for their kindness, but cruel people will be rewarded with trouble. As she put the bible down she noticed a photo album sticking out of the night table labeled Memories. Picking it up and flipping through it she saw her granddaughter. The older pictures showed the young girl alone with a smile so fake even a blind person could see it. As she went through the album she saw Luz with her friends. She saw what happiness they brought her, especially Amity. After putting the book down she knew what she had to do….
Luz Nocedas Room a Bit Later….
Luz Noceda had locked herself in her room. She was crying very hard. Not only did she ruin Christmas but she got her sister hurt and nearly got her grandmother killed. She felt like she wanted to hide herself until next year. In spite of her mother and friends best efforts she would not come out. As she continued to mope the door creaked open. "I said I want to be alone." Lz said expecting Amity but was surprised when it was Abeula. "Your not gonna try to exorcize me?" Luz said as the old Latina sat down next to her.
"No nieta I just want to talk." Abuela said as she pulled out the photo album. Luz was generally shocked she had found it. " I had a bit of a chat with your mom and I saw these photos." Abuela said as she comforted her granddaughter. "Really it sounded more like an argument to me." Luz said before Abeula gave a look that made her regret that remark. "You had a really fun time in this demon realm didn't you." Abuela said as the two looked over the pictures. "Yeah I did outside of the near death experiences it
was quite the adventure." Luz said as Abeula was unaware of the full dangers she went through. "What near death experiences." The old latina exclaimed."Oh nothing." Luz said, trying to switch the subject. " I can see you found some real friends along the way." Abuela said as Luz began to cheer up. "Look nieta this is just something a person of my generation just doesn't really get. However this time of year is being with the ones you care about and the ones who care about you. And I can see how much your friends
and your"Girlfriend" really care about you .So much that they saved the life of someone they didn't know in me. I'm sorry that you had to keep who you were from me. It's the 21st century and I should accept that things will change." Abuela said to which Luz pulled her in for a big hug. "Nieta be careful you're gonna break my hip." Abuela said as Luz released her from the Hug"Sorry Abuela." Luz said, drying up her tears. "It's ok nieta so why don't we add some more pictures to this album." Abuela said as the two made their way back to the party.
