I really wanted to help Aunt Mel with the cooking but she assured me that she can do it on her own and forced me back to the living room. It really was quiet in the room that I think I can even hear my heartbeat. Just when I was trying to go up and call Zoey,Aunt Mel called us.
Although I really want to let Zoey clean up her mess and take up her responsibility,I know she never will argue with Aunt Mel. It was a good thing.
Zoey came down the stairs,stared blankly at me and just ate dinner.
Aunt Mel tried her best to cheer up our guests but they were not in that kind of mood.
Mark sat next to me at the table. I don't know why but I wasn't comfortable with it.
Aunt Mel,i guess,didn't realize that. Just then Uncle Will came home.
"Just in time for dinner. Come sit,"said Aunt Mel.
"I see we have some guests. Who are they?" Uncle Will asked.
"They are Lucy's friends."
They were never my friends. But i needed to cover all what was happening. I hate it when she said the words 'friends'.
Zoey and I helped clean up the table,while the boys had a talk with Uncle Will.
"Zo,just tell them the truth."
"What truth?"
"I know you still like him and all this will just push him away and hurt him."
"Lu,it's not that easy. I'm not feeling secure near him anymore. I don't wanna be hurt again. You know that."
What a nice cover up. Loves him and still don't want to believe.
