You Are On His Side?

{MAYA}

"I am just tired, honey." Amelia had said with a tone that insinuated she didn't want any follow-up questions.

When they got to the gas station, Maya got out of the car and climbed next to Brent. Yes, she was worried about her mother, but she was worried the most about Brent. She didn't have to tell him that he was there for him. Just one look at Maya and Brent knew that.

The silence in the car matched how everyone was feeling at the moment.

They stopped again in the supermarket, Brent and Maya left the car to go and buy some bread, milk, and eggs.

"Let me pay," Brent said.

Maya didn't object, it was as if Brent was trying to say something without actually saying something. They walked out of the supermarket with bags in their hands.

"What the fuck?" Brent exclaimed.

The car was gone.
