16. Girl Meets Him Again.

Lucas Friar's POV

One month.

I left one month ago.

She hasn't called, she hasn't texted. She hasn't even posted a picture on anything.

I sit there, on the floor of the hotel room, thinking.

Why did I leave? Why didn't I stay?

I'm so dumb.

I have four kids at home, and wife.

I left them, like how Maya's Dad left her.

But I can't go back yet, I need this break.

All I do is work and party at night, and I'm fine with that.

But there's a small inkling inside of me that wants Maya back.

No, I need her.

Maya Friar-Hart's POV

"School! School! School!" Elizabeth calls down the stairs.

I smile, the kids are starting school a month late.

But they're still going, which is good.

I flip a pancake, some eggs, and fruit onto three plates. Then I cut up the kids' and add syrup to the side, just like how they like it.

"Breakfast!"

Lizzy sits down, and a few minutes later a scared little Isaac sits next to her.

"Here ya go!"

After I eat as quickly as possible, I run to the twins. They silently sip their bottle.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Lizzy screams.

I put the twin's back in the playpen, and run towards the kitchen.

On the way there, I trip over a pile of crap. I land face first into the tile.

"Oof!"

"Mommy!" Lizzy screams.

I get up and rub my face, I can feel a goosebumps already forming.

"What? Are you okay honey?!" I ask as I finish my way towards her.

"Are Zoey and I in the same class?"

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna slam my face into a door soon.

"You can't do that honey!" I say in a bit of a high voice. It's been very hard not to loose it on Isaac and Elizabeth, but I can't because I'll traumatized them. "You scared Mommy, and now I'm in a lot of pain."

"Ya," She says. "You've got a little something on your face.... it's purple."

I sigh. "Thanks for pointing that out. And yes, you and Zoey are in the same class."

"Yay! Let's go to school!"

She jumps up and runs to the living room. Then she grabs her new pink backpack and matching lunch kit.

"Come on Isaac!" She calls. "There's nothing to be scared of! You've got the coolest hulk backpack ever!"

"Mommy's right here," I say to him. "You can hold my hand."

He nods his head and grabs my hand.

"Did you know that Hulk is super strong?" I ask with a smile. "If you keep your backpack with you, nothing can hurt you because hulk will protect you!"
