Chapter 6: I Need Answers

Aisha POV

"Let's go to the kitchen." I could tell by the look on Alex's face she was pissed at me. Her being mad at me is breaking my heart. I'm sti thinking and Alex's hasn't responded to me yet so I said it again. Alex just gave me a weak head nodd and followed me to the door.

We walked down the hall and passed Parker's room. I knew he was still asleep and no one would be in the Kitchen this early. Finally after a few awkward and silence minutes we reached the end of the hall. There was a big metal door leading to a staircase. Me and Alex walked through it and up the stairs. About halfway up the stairs I couldn't take the silence anymore.

"What do you know about your mother?" As soon as I casually asked that question I could feel Alex's eyes on me. Even though it's dark I knew her face was saying "WTF". I heard Alwe sigh just before saying "I know she was a terrible mother and shouldn't have had kids." That's sounds like Stevie. I feel bad, I know Alex must of had a rough childhood.

"Stop asking me questions." Wow Alex is really pissed at me. We got to another large metal metal door leading to the kitchen. I unlocked it and we walked in.

Alex POV

The kitchen was big and stocked with food. There was a long wooden table big enough to sit 20 people in the dining room. The table was simple but elegant. While I was staring I didn't realize that Aisha had pulled out a chair for me. Like I'm sitting by her after this morning. Walking and sitting on the opposite side of the table, I could hear a sigh escape from Aisha's lips. "So do you like it hear so far?" I could tell Aisha was trying to make small talk but I'm pissed at her she knows something about my mom and no matter what I'm going to find out what it is.

Me and you know who were sitting down for a few minutes without either one of us saying a word. Than a few people who didn't wear where waiter outfits but had on the same types of masks Ashia and Paker did the day I got her put down dozens of plates, stacked high with food all over the world.

After they were done coming in and out from the kitchen to the dining room. Me and Aisha sat and ate our food in silence until one of my favorite songs start to play from a speaker. The song is "Don't Give Up On Me" by Andy Grammar from 6 feet apart. This song always makes me cry and think about past relationships that failed because of me. But can't help but smile listening and it now.

"How'd you know this was my favorite song?" I asked Aisha without looking at her but with my head back and a grin just like the Chesire cat.

"I'm gonna give you some answers." I instantly looked at Aisha searching her face to see if she was joking but she's not. I Aisha was serious but I can also tell there was a part of her that wasn't sure.
