Now Playing: Punisher~ Phoebe Bridgers

Barstow, California
Hours pass, and the atmosphere in the house remains somewhat tense throughout the evening. I spend some time talking to my Brian's mom while we all watch TV, but the presence of unspoken tension lingers in the air.
Throughout the night, I find myself occasionally casting glances towards the stairs, wondering how things are going with Angela and Aaron.
Angela was now in the kitchen preparing to cook dinner. I got up off the couch, and walked towards the kitchen to see if she needed help.
I left Brian sitting on the couch and walked into the kitchen. "Hey, miss O'conner, I wanted to see if you needed help?" I asked her, softly.
Angela turns to face me, a warm smile spreading on her face. "Oh, hello, dear. That's very kind of you to ask. Actually, I could use some help. Would you mind chopping those vegetables for me?"
"Of course." I washed my hands and started to cut up the vegetables. "So, um, quite eventful day, huh?" I asked awkwardly laughing. Didn't really know what to say about what happened.
Angela nods appreciatively as i offer to help and start cutting the vegetables. She chuckles softly at my lighthearted observation. "You could say that again. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions today, that's for sure." She was seasoning, what looked to be pot roast.
