You are Eddie Diaz's teenage kid, 15 to be exact. You had your younger brother Christopher, who you loved more than anything.

Your dad went on tour with the army too many times to count when you were just an infant, but he was still your dad. And you were still a daddys child.

Christopher has Cerbal Palsy and sometimes needs an extra bit of help with things, which you always tend too. And so does your dad.

But after your mother died, things were different. It was odd, she disappeared for so long, but knowing that she is actually dead now after she briefly came back into your life hurt a lot. You took a while to grieve, and still are. It's been about 3 years now.

Your dad always spent more time with Christopher, which you didn't always mind. Chris was younger and needed extra help with certain things. But when it came to him missing everything to do with you, god did it hurt.

He missed all your musical performances, picking you up after you've been out or after school, taking you to appointments etc. It was starting to really really hurt now. Yes you were older and more mature, but sometimes all you needed was your dad.

His friend Buck from the fire station always managed to attend your events, which hurt the most. He was always there for you. How could he manage to your important events when your father himself couldn't.

It all built up and built up, nights and nights of being stranded for an hour longer than you should've because he was too busy with something else to pick you up. To many parents evenings ignored. Too many school concerts ditched.

Now to set it straight, you weren't jealous, you just missed your dad.

And finally on one night you broke down. Christopher was away at your Abuelas for a couple of nights to give Eddie peace. He didn't send you because you wouldnt 'cause any hassle apparently. But when you broke down in tears in front of him, it all hit him like a freight train.

"Tell your baby that I'm your baby." You cry, after he brushed you off to text Christopher.
