Caesar POV:
I heard laughing, a girl laughing just as I was about to enter the house. Oscar really can't handle himself and he calls me immature."Oscar, this your nee girl then, a little young for you don't you think? I looked her up and down.
"Oscar's girl" She laughed.
Oscar cleared his throat and got up from the table.
" Caesar it's me, Maya you idiot" I couldn't believe it, I thought I'd never see Maya after all those years ago.
" what are you doing here?" I gave her a hug.
"Just visiting whilst the foster family are around the area, what I can't come and say hi?"
It started getting late and Maya was getting tired. "Maya, you can sleep in my room" Oscar said
" What happened my bed?" She screamed my ear off.
" well you went away, so I got a bigger bed instead" I smiled knowing it would annoy her.
She gasped playfully. I missed her. I wish she could stay.Maya POV:
I changed into a top and joggers Caesar gave me. I really want to stay here, but I can't. Tomorrow I go to a Motel and figure things out from there.<Morning>
I woke up to the smell of Pancakes. I climbed out of Oscar's bed to see I was right, Oscar's pancakes, I miss this. I suddenly start to tear up. Caesar ran to me
" why are you crying?"
I want to stay here so badly, I want to tell them I can't go back, but I can't. I just hug Caesar tightly and say " I miss this, that's all" I could tell however Oscar wasn't buying it.
I ate my pancakes and then told them that I needed to go as my foster family told me to be at the station 12 and it was already 11:30.
"I'll take you" Oscar said. " I wanna meet this foster family of yours". Damm it. Think quick.
" oh no Oscar, they said I have to get the train alone, so they won't be there".
" I'll come with you then, make sure you get there safe" he said. Crap crap crap.
" No you don't need to, really." " Okay then if your really insist" Oscar said.
" why are you guys acting weird?" Caesar said looking confused as me and Oscar were having a stare off.
"Nothing, just that little Maya seems to be very adamant we don't meet her foster family. Weird don't you think Caesar?" Oscar said.Oscar POV:
Me and Caesar take Maya to the station. She kept on tearing up. I wish she could stay with me, but I've just been out of jail for the last year and there is no way the social worker will let her stay with us now.
" okay hermanita. This is where I drop you off. I love you, this my number, call you fool"
I give her a tight hug and kiss on both cheeks. My little Diaz.
Caesar hugged her for a little too long. They were not only siblings but best of friends growing up. I hated seeing them being separated that day, all really because of me. It was all really because of me.Maya POV:
I got out of the car, put my backpack on and walked into the station. I heard the sound of the impala drive off and I walked out back to get the bus to the motel. I got my room, went and had a shower and then I heard a knock on the door. I ignored it. The knocking got louder. I threw my clothes on and got ready for an attack. I asked who is it. Stupid me, why would I do that. Now they definitely know someone is in there. I got a letter under my door. Please please please let it be a ' You are invited to the motels dinner party or something like that'. I opened the letter and it read ' Santos bitch can't hide' inked in purple.Great. 19th street found me and I have no protection. Caesar and Oscar don't even know I'm here. This is such a mess! I'm such a mess. I should have just told my brothers the truth, now I have nowhere to go and I have a target on my back. I started sobbing. I couldn't stop. I ended up knocking out from all the crying on the floor. It's been an overwhelming couple of days.
<Morning>
I got ready to face the day in the best outfit I brought with me, did my makeup and left the motel. Today am going to find a job in Brentwood. I took my resume to every shop but then as I entered one of the shops I was meet by Jamal. He was shopping for his new look for school as usual this guy got so vain over the years.
"Maya!!! When did you get back into town! You looking fireeeee! Caesar never told me! I gotta tell Monse and Ruby!"
He's doing it again, talking to fast I can't keep up, god I missed Jamal.
" JAMAL. Don't" I grabbed his phone.
" Girl whatcha do?" He said with his hands on his hips.
"Jamal, promise me Caesar not Oscar not anyone can know I'm here. It's a secret." I tell him in a hushed voice.
" A secret. Girl I ain't good at keeping secrets. Why did you do this to me" he starts sweating.
" I can't keep this a secret. Mayaaaa ." He starts whining on the floor, hyperventilating into his jumper.
" Please Jamal. No one can know".
" OKAY but Maya I only do this because I love you and I'd never do this for anyone else, but right now I hate you at the same time". He said. We ended up spending the evening together, it was so much fun! I remembered my childhood here with the group. It was the best.< 5 days pass>
Oscar POV:I'm sitting out here enjoying my blunt and I see Jamal staring at me. Weird kid. He starts mumbling something and staring at me . Carbón.
"Hey you" I call out
" who me?" " yeah you, who else would I be talking to that tree over there, come here."
" sorry mr spooky sir, I was just walking, can I interest you in a rap or dance even" he started rambling.
Good I hate this kid. He rambles when he's nervous. But what's he nervous about?
" is Caesar home?' He asks.
"No". " how about Maya is she at home?"
Why is he asking about Maya he's never asked about Maya for ages, and he never saw her when she was here, maybe Caesar told him.
" No, Maya not here, why would she be" I stared at him confused.
" hahaha, no clue why I asked that, silly me, of course Maya isn't here, she's probably in New York with her little weird orange backpack or something like that?"
How does this kid know she's in New York and she brought an orange backpack. I narrow my eyes at him, but my blunt out on the ground, and usher him to have a seat.
"Jamal"
" yea spooky sir" he gulped.
" Jamal, have you seen Maya recently?"
"Nooooo, why would I see Maya"
"Jamal, sounds like you are lying and if I find out you hiding a secret about Maya, I'll rip your head off and hang it on our door, we can't afford stuffed animals in this neighbourhood so you might just do." I said whilst wrapping my arm around his shoulder.
" Well it depends on what you mean by recently..."
"JAMAL 1 -2" I start counting.
" What happens at 3?" he asks. " you won't be here to find out" I said though my teeth.
" okay okay I saw Maya 3 days ago in Brentwood". Jamal blurted out.
" She lives in Brentwood?!"
" well no actually she lives in a motel, you know that one near the FreeRidge garage, she lives in number 47 from what I remember, pretty nice place actually. She has a good view or so at least I think so. Oh no I shouldn't have said that. She's going to kill me." Jamal began to panic.
" Not before I kill her" I said.This idiot, I can't believe she's in FreeRidge. She never left to New York! She lied to my face. I feel disappointed but so angry at the same time. Great tricks you have up your sleeve Maya, lying to both me and Caesar. Living in a motel in FreeRidge, really, probably one of your smartest ideas. It's like you forgot what FreeRidge is like.
