The next day I wake up to hearing the shower going. I rub the crud out of my eye and look to the nightstand and see the clock reads 10:20...I shoot up in bed. Did I really sleep that late? How the hell did? I push my curls to the back of my head, as I look around Jace's room.

What the fck?

I hop out of bed and grab my shoes, then stop. Wait...it's Sunday, why the hell am I tripping? Besides Trishika probably throwing tricks to keep everyone entertained and off my damn back. I really gotta pay that woman something. I got 22$, hopefully that'll show how much I appreciate her.

I'm about to go to the door, when it opens. It reveals a drenched Jace in a black towel. I bite my lip in admiration and gaze down his body, slowly. The water slowly dripping down his muscular chest. My eyes lower to his chocolate legs wet as well. I quickly shake my head and watch as he scans my face.

"I'm headin out to Sandra's to get the kids...I'll take you to Kira's and then home." He says.

I nod my head, "Of course...can I get a shower first? I didn't get one yesterday."

"Yeah go head," he says before heading to the closet, he then turns around to me, "I know how you are, so I'mma let you pick your clothes out before you get in."

"Thanks," I smile and slip into the closet. I look at the clothes and choose a simple, black jacket and grey joggings with a designer tee of the words: Faith.

I hurry up and get in the shower. I take at least thirty minutes before getting out. I see Jace fully dressed, sitting patiently at the couch.

"Ready?" he asks standing up.

"Yup...tell Antwan and Emerald I said hi...and that I'm sorry they're going this." I say as we head out.

He nods, "No doubt. San said that Emerald woke up in a nightmare, said she got a little hot and thought the house was on fire, she ended up sleeping with San...and having nightmares, while Antwan kept the door closed and locked...I wish I could take their pain away."

"Me, too," I whisper.

I know their pain. I went throught. They shouldn't have. Jace should just be happy he never had to endure what we did. It made him a better person than I will ever be.

We stop at a burger joint and get a bite to eat, then head on to Kira's. I told Jace to just wait in the car because it would be less dramatic that way. I don't want another fighting sesh, like at the mall, plus I don't know if Trey is mad at me. He has every right to be.

I walk up Kira's driveway, to see the door opening. Kira walks out with Flynn, her smile lowers a bit when she spots me. "Maia?" Her smile picks back up, "What are you doing here?"

"Getting my things, Jace is going to take me home, we can work on the rest of the project at school tomorrow," I respond.

She nods, "Oh okay, sure that's fine. Flynn is about to take me to visit his mom, I'll mention you and your driving skills, mom and dad are in the house and so is Trey, so if you need anything, just ask them, alright?"

I nod, "Yeah cool. Have fun."

"We will," Flynn smiles as they continue down the driveway.

I nervously walk into the house and hear the TV going. I look into the living room to see Trey and his dad intensely watching the screen. I don't want to bother the two but I have to let them know I'm here. I mean I don't want to get attacked.
