As I read on in this book, it seems like things are just getting worse. I fell terrible for what Ana and Isabel had to go through living with her grandmother and Ernesto. Ana tries to comfort Isabel and tell her what happened was not her fault, yet she is struggling herself to remain together. A couple nights after Ernesto did things to Isabel, Ana accidentally left the door to their room unlocked. Early in the morning, after her grandmother had left, Ernesto came in and molested Ana. Once again he threatened her by saying "Don't tell anyone." She now had another secret to keep. She wanted so badly to tell someone about what was happening, but she had no one to tell.
It was the middle of Ana's sixth grade year and her father became very sick. They moved a bed into the grandmother's house for him to stay. He became very small and sickly and could barely talk. Ana remembered all the good times they had together doing homework or dancing and wished that he was okay again. Once their papa moved in, Ernesto left the girls alone. He suddenly lost interest in them and did not even pay attention to them. To them this was a blessing.
