Keeping My Heart Safe

Maya's POV

"Maya, do you remember the movie we watched together when a group of friends was in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night? It feels like this." I heard Lisa's trembling voice. I know she loves watching horror and suspense movies, but despite everything, she was too frightened to be in the dark, and she always asked for my company during brownouts. I get my flashlight from the compartment, and when I am about to get out of my car, Lisa pulled the sleeve of my dress.

"Oh, no! Maya, what are you doing? You can't get out. What if someone will come behind your back. Please, I am asking you to stay inside this car." She begged, and I want to laugh at her reaction.
