This event affected Diane's entire family. Diane became sad and started to dislike her mother. Papi also got angry at Mami and Eric. Eric started arguing and getting into conflicts with Papi. These events stressed DIane out at first but helped her become more resilient and independant in the future. Mami was sent to Colombia. She was sad at first but became happier thanks to her relatives' hospitality and begged Diane to come live with her. Two months later, Mami moved back into the US and moved back into the house. Papi wasn't thrilled at first but started planning to move to New Jersey. A week after Mami came back, she got arrested again while walking the neighbors' kids to school. Papi didn't want to get deported so he rented a basement apartment from Olivia, who had been a friend for years. The apartment was so small that the family had to either sell or get rid of most of their belongings. Eric had already moved to New Jersey to start a new life. The living conditions in this apartment were terrible and had a large impact on Papi and Diane. Papi hit the lowest point in his life (so far) and had to work even longer to support Mami in Colombia, Diane, and himself. Diane also got depressed and her grades slip. Acording to Diane, her family was trapped in a "living nightmare". She started to go through puberty in 7th grade. She had to buy bras and period pads with her dad. During this time, Papi and Diane accepted the fact that Mami wasn't going to come back and focused on living the life that they had. Some time later, Eric was attacked by a group of men and injured them while defending himself. He went to court where his lawyer told him to sign a paper because it was "the best legal strategy". This led to him getting deported to Colombia. This made the family sad at first but let them spend more time and give more to Diane. Papi and Mami didn't want to lose Diane, so they started working even harder to pay for a lawyer and citizenship. When Papi went to his "lawyer"/s office, he found out that the lawyer was a fraud and that he had just lost thousands of dollars. A week later, Diane got an audition for the Boston Arts Academy. This is significant because it lets Diane be successful in life and gives her place where she can be friends with people who are like her.
