"It's just my meal." I replied annoyed and not in the mood to talk to him. "It was just a mistake."

I saw Maria's lips pursed in the corner she stood in.

Did she think that I was going to tell on her and waste my time having to go in a row with Al?

Gods no.

And with what he had just done?

How he had treated me last night, I didn't want to take a chance.

How would I know if he was going to disgrace me and pick her side over me after their display of dirty affection in front of everyone.

And then it occurred to me.

He had not slept in the bedroom we had been given so where had he slept in?

Maybe with Maria?

And then my tummy grew in turmoil.

I gave Jasper the food.

"I'm not hungry anymore." I said and got up to my feet.

"When do we leave?" I turned to Jasper.

Before Jasper answered, I heard Al say. "Now."

And then he caught my arm and pulled me away from the seat.
