Hector was always overlooked. No one thought he was how you knew he was. A funny guy to everyone else. Always getting the best gift at every party your family threw. Always being invited and inviting people over. He was your neighbor.

Even you liked him until he showed you how he really was. No one saw the way he looked at you. No one saw how he touched you. Hector made sure of it.

For your mothers birthday there was a party thrown for her. Your father walked around greeting guests while your older brother was up in his room with your older cousins being dumb.

“Go answer the door.” Your father told you since he knew it was daylight so you could answer it with being young.
