That day started like any normal New Years Eve day. I woke up happy to start the new year that was coming soon. I was going to get my haircut to get ready for the New Years Eve party we always have at my aunts house. Since my cousin cuts my hair, I knew everyone in the barbershop, especially his closest friend, Jose. I shook his hand the moment I saw him and told him "Happy New Years Jose". Once my cousin had cut all my hair, I went home and did everything to get ready for the party at my aunts house. When I was done putting on my fresh clothes, my mom, my dad and I went in our truck and left. While we we...
