As Maya and Leo reminisced about their shared past over coffee and tea, laughter filled the air, mingling with the warmth of their friendship. They recalled the silly antics of their high school days, the innocent escapades of childhood that now seemed like a lifetime ago. Memories of spilled cocoa and failed attempts at baking flooded their conversation, each anecdote a testament to the enduring bond they shared.
But amidst the laughter and nostalgia, Maya couldn't shake the weight of a question that lingered in the back of her mind. With a heavy sigh, she finally found the courage to voice her doubts.
"Why do you still care about me, Leo?" she asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "I was all over the news, with everything about how I killed someone and my mental health problems. Why bother to find me now?"
Leo's gaze softened as he regarded Maya, a gentle smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Why shouldn't I?" he replied, his voice steady and unwavering. "You were there for me when I was obsessive over that one guy and that girl. You helped me snap out of it, you saved me, Maya. You were there for me when I needed help, and you got me the mental health support I needed. You made me better."
He paused, his expression filled with sincerity as he reached out to grasp Maya's hand. "So you ask me why? It's because you did the same for me. You've always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I'll be damned if I'm not there for you in return. I care about you, little sis," he added, his voice filled with warmth and affection. "And I'll stick by your side until you get tired of me, because that's what family does."
As Leo's words sank in, Maya felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. In Leo, she had found not just a friend, but a true companion—a steadfast ally who had stood by her through the darkest moments of her life. And as she looked into his eyes, she knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, bound by a bond that transcended time and circumstance.
With a smile, Maya squeezed Leo's hand, feeling a sense of peace settle over her. For in that moment, she knew that no matter where life took her, she would never be alone as long as she had Leo by her side.
