Chapter 18

We stopped Joe in his school and Maya continued the drive but after we were a little bit far from Joe's school she parked her car by the roadside.

"Did your Dad say anything to you?" She asked but I shook my head, even though tears were now falling I didn't think I wanted to talk about what had happened.

*No, he didn't" I said but my voice cracked in between, I hated that house and everything there. It only made me cry and sad whenever my father was around.

She knew I wasn't going to say what was wrong with me so she handed over the wipes that was in her car to me.

"Thank you" I mouthed to her and cleaned the tears off my face. She continued the drive in silence and I appreciated her for understanding me.

We arrived at school and the realization of me facing Zach struck me, I wanted to be alone but now I have to be stuck with him. At least it'll end soon and I'll finally be free in the next two days.
