Allena
I wake up to the soft sound of humming and a reassuring rub on my thighs. My eyes slowly open, adjusting to the light, the first thing I see is Luca.
"You're awake," He smiles with his typical goofy grin.
"Mhm," I mumble, sitting up. "We're on the plane?"
"Yeah, you fell asleep in the car. I tried not to wake you. The girls are in the front watching a Disney movie with Gray."
"And Maeve?" I ask.
"Back. Hasn't talked to anyone," Luca sighs.
"I'll go talk to her," I smile, standing up, and moving to the back of the plane. Maeve is sprawled across her seat, snacks laid out, but she clearly hasn't touched one.
"Can I sit?" I ask?
"Sure," She mumbles, moving her stuff. "How are you feeling?"
"Good," I lie.
"Liar," She scoffs.
"You talk about your problems, and I can talk about mine," I shrug.
"Did Gray send you?" She asks. "He can't stop breathing down my fuck..."
"Nope, I came by myself...because you're my friend," I shrug. "I care about you."
She shakes her head, mumbling something to herself. "Everyone always says that. The next thing you know they're hurting you all over again."
"Not everyone," I mumble. "Not Gray. Not Luca. Not me."
"You don't know that. You can't promise me that..."
"Of course I can't. That's what trust is for," I cut in.
"Yeah well fuck trust," Maeve mumbles. "It's bullshit." I sigh, I'd be a hypocrite if I tried to say anything different.
"I'm not used to people caring," Maeve sighs. "Gray... he...he was so disappointed in me," She sighs.
"Because?"
"I sort of ended up in a stranger's van," She shrugs. "He was hot, and I didn't think he was a psycho." I stifle a laugh, trying to keep listening. "I know. I'm an idiot. And he...he looked...like he expected more from me."
"Yeah cause he cares about you, dumbass," I mumble.
"I just...im stupid. And impulsive," She groans.
"And he still loves you."
She sighs, not saying anything, but I think deep down she knows im right.
"Are you gonna talk about your problems now?" She whispers.
"You mean the fact that my uncle beat me till I was half dead?" I ask.
"You're a good fucking actor by the way," She smirks.
"Thanks," I chuckle.
"What are you going to do about it?" She asks. "Say the word and I'll kill him."
