Chapter 113
The harsh banging sound of our living room door was the last thing I heard from Maya earlier today. She was mad at me and didn't return my calls or my text.
I tossed on the bed and focused my gaze on the door, wishing it'd creak open with Maya's eyes shining from afar, but it didn't happen. I waited till my lids became heavy. Maya had gone to where I had no idea about. Was what I did that bad that she had to push me away in such a manner?
No one answered the question I had asked.
I looked to the right and sighed when there was no best friend sleeping like a hobo beside me. I rubbed my palm on the empty bed space beside me before my eyes enveloped each other.
Sun rays pierced into my windows and fried the skin of my closed eyes. I groaned.
I had left the windows open, hoping Maya would crawl back in. Wait, did I forget to close the window?
Quickly, I jum

Both our eyes widened and our jaws slacked to the bed as we stared at each other, confusion forming lines on our foreheads."Tristan!" The lady like voice called again and that was all we needed to push us out of the bed.Quickly, Tristan ran to the door and plastered his ear on it. "It's my mother."Tristan whispered and rushed back to the bed. He gave me my clothes and I dug my leg into the cargo pants."Coming, mother!" Tristan exclaimed, rocking back and forth butt naked on his heels.My heart pounded loudly and when I was done dressing, I heaved a sigh of relief and watched Tristan as he hurriedly walked to the door. Just when he was about to twist the handle, I noticed something and pressed my hand on my lips."Tristan!" I whispered, stressing the tone and he glanced over his shoulder. "Why are you naked?"He stared down at his body and face palmed–A soft g

She grinned like the Cheshire cat and stepped aside for us to walk in."I'm not here for pleasantries," I started, walking into the house and glancing from left to right. "I'm here for my best friend."Maya walked down the stairs with a backpack strapped to her shoulders. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot. Her nose was red from blowing too much mucus."Calm down," Lola said, rolling her eyes at me. "I didn't steal her. She showed up at my house last night and I allowed her to spend a night here. It's not like I'm fucking her or something.""Are you okay?" Ignoring Lola, I rushed over to where Maya stood and enveloped her in a hug."Mmhm." She sniffled, hugging me back."What happened to you?" I asked, checking her face for any bruises. "I'm sorry for what I did. I have no idea what entered me... I just felt jealous that you had someone and I didn't.""It's okay,

Lines of confusion formed on my forehead as I glanced from Maya's face to that of her aunt. What were they both talking about? I was as lost as a stray cat.Her aunt sat behind the desk and she looked to be in her middle twenties, but very young. My eyes involuntarily drifted to her boobs and noticed the white long sleeve she was putting on wasn't thick enough because I could see that she was wearing something pink inside. Her boobs were palm size.My eyes went higher and noticed glasses sitting comfortably on the brim of her nose. She rested both her elbows on the desk and clasped her fingers, glaring crossly at Maya."Please, don't tell my parents." Maya begged, raising her head for the first time since we arrived her grandfather's hospital. "They'll kill me and never trust me again."I was lost once again. I felt like a foreigner in a strange land and it felt like nothing they said made any sense to me. Did Maya kill someone? What in God'

My heart skipped a beat and I was very sure Maya's skipped two beats. He walked into the room and stood in front of Maya, balling his fists and making the veins on his forehead visible."How could you do this to me after all the love I shared towards you?" He questioned, his fist opening."Cameron, calm down." I got to my feet and held my hands open, trying to soothe him. "There is an expansion, what you heard isn't true."I tried to lighten things up even if I wasn't sure if she actually cheated on him or not. I just wanted to save my friend and hear her out."I can explain." Maya muttered, eyes already welling up with tears. "Just sit down and hear me out, please. I beg of you."I begged too and the angry dragon stopped breathing fire on us. Finally, he sat in front of my mirror and his chest heaved. He appeared to be refraining from doing something very bad. He bit on his bottom lip and shut

I gulped and got to my feet. I had thought mother had gone to work. What was she even doing at home? Beats me!I trekked out of my room and once I was in front of hers, I glanced sideways then back and front before crossing myself and muttering, "Brace yourself, woman."The moment the last word left my mouth, it reminded me of someone–Jason. Jason was fond of calling me woman and I remembered those days when we used to eat on the same table and when he used to drive us to parties. Speaking of parties, I hadn't been to one in a long time. Maybe Cameron and Maya's wedding would fill in for a party.What was I doing having unnecessary conversations with myself?I shrugged and balled my palm into a fist. I knocked on the door and a come in rang out of the door.Slowly, I pushed the door and let myself in. My head was bent that all I could see was the floor. For the first time, I noticed my mother's room floor was lik

I got to my room and banged it even louder than I banged that of my mother's. I flumped on the bed and buried my head in my arms that were folded above my head.I was upset and it was not the mood I wanted to be in today. How were we going to break the news to her in such a state?My heart felt weird like it was being squeezed by a giant palm. I was tired, everything was too much and even if we looked like a perfect family with no worries, we had issues and I hated that we did, but that was just life throwing lemons at us."Are you okay?" Maya asked calmly, placing a hand on my shoulder.Sitting up with a heavy heart, I hugged my pillow and rested the back of my head on the bed frame."She was asking if I was mentally stressed, like if I was depressed and needed a therapist because-" I halted in my tracks when I felt hot tears brimming in my eyes.I raised my head and stared at the ceiling, trying to blink away

"Mom, are you still in love with Dad?" I questioned and my mother choked on the drink she was swigging from the vita milk bottle."What?" A frown creased her brows and she rubbed her chest, eyes already glossy."Do you still love father?" I repeated my question, my gaze piercing her forehead.I wasn't taught to look my mother in the eye as it was said to be disrespectful."What do you mean by that?" She tilted her head to the side and giggled nervously, narrowing an eye at me."I mean that you love father and you glammed up because of him." I wriggled my brow and she clutched my mouth, staring around to see if my father was lurking around somewhere."Don't say that out loud." She shook me and I made muffled sounds, telling her to let go of my mouth."Ma'am, is everything alright?" A waiter dressed in a suit asked with a napkin lying plainly on his arm."Yes," she said, releasing my mouth and we

I tapped the green answer button and held the phone to my ear, still laughing because of what Bellamy had done earlier."Hi," I said, trying to control my laughter."Where are you?" Tristan asked immediately without saying a hi or hello like he used to."I'm out with my mom and dad." I answered.My laughing seized when I noticed Tristan was serious. His voice was deeper than it used to be and nothing close to fooling around was in the tone he used."Where?" He inquired and I knitted my brows into a frown not understanding what was going on."Magnifico's." I answered. "Are you okay?"A stray of brown hair fell to my face and I made a mental note to dye it butterscotch whenever this family thing was over. Unexpectedly, Bellamy tucked the stray of hair behind my ear and I muttered a thank you."Okay. Yeah, I'm good. See you later." With that, t
