His Whole Life Stand

Mostly #22

Maya was in front of the middle school, 9:50am, and she's been told by Evan that he will be there at 10am for sure.
"Hey!!" She said as she saw Evan pulling up. "Hey Maya, do you feel better ?" He said as he walked off the car and helped her putting her bags on the car. "Yup, cried all night long but now I'm good, how about you ?" She nicely asked as she hopped onto the car. "I'm fine, so, tell me what's going on" he nicely said.
"Remember Shawn ? And what I told you about my mother and all ? Well yesterday night Shawn went on a date with a woman, and it made me mad that he never told me... and well I'm extremely mad at Lucas for setting up Shawn with a woman. So I 'ran away' and went to a friend's to spend the night and that's where I called you" Evan nodded.

"We are here" Evan sais pulling up, Maya looked around and was amazed by the green forest surrounding a huge house, well, a lodge.
"That looks beautiful Evan, you are really lucky to live here" she said walking out of the car.
"It has its own good and bad sides you know, it's good to be in such a beautiful place but we don't have those citizens stores, and plenty of other things"

Evan put Mays's bags down next to the front door.
"Hey Evan, glad you are back in time" an old woman said. "Thanks granny, where's mom ?" Evan asked, Maya just listened at their conversation, not doing anything else.
"She's at the store, she should be here in like 10 minutes" his grandmother said, he nodded and walked up closer to his grandmother with Maya.
"Granny, this is Maya, Maya, this is Granny, my grandmother" Evan introduced the two girls.
"She'll be staying a little bit, wait, how long Maya?" Evan asked Maya.
"One week... yeah one week and then we will see" Maya said, muttering in the end.
"Nice to meet you Maya, hope you like this place" Granny told Maya, she nicely nodded and followed Evan.
"So this is the living room, well, we have two living rooms, we have that one, next to the fire place, and one upstairs that you can almost see from there. Well it's just a couch and some armchair but people like it there... as you maybe saw already there's a bay window. Wait, are you hungry ?" Evan quickly said.
"Wow calm down I'm here for the week we have all our time to talk... and yes I'm a little hungry" Maya said shyly.
"Okay come over here" he nicely said.

Maya was alone in the living room with the fire place, she was on her phone, looking at the messages Lucas sent and playing games.
Someone came inside the lodge, it was a very beautiful woman.
"Hello there" she said as se walked up to Maya.
"Oh sorry I don't work here the office is right there" Maya said pointing to the office not that far. The woman laughed.
"No I am Evan's mother, are you Maya ?" She nicely asked. "Oh okay !" Maya laughed as well. "Yes I'm Maya nice to meet you" Maya nicely said and held her hand. "Ahah no, no shaking hand my dear" the woman said and embraced Maya in a hug, which made her very confused and surprised.
"So I'm sorry but Evan told me about your situation a little bit, and I can offer you the whole week if you want to, I know it must be hard to be far away from school and friends and family but if that's what you want then there's no problem" the woman nicely said.
"Oh and I forgot, my name is Rachel" Rachel nicely smiled and sat next to Maya. "Look Rachel if I came here it's because I couldn't afford a flight to California for today but I can afford coming here, it's okay"

Lucas was with Shawn at his flat.
"What do we do ?" Shawn asked.
"We are going to find her Shawn, I promise we will. I know May--"
"No I know Maya better than anyone" Shawn quickly cut him off.
"Shawn she has frustrations and things you don't know about that I do, I spent so much time with her that I can even guess her outfit of the day, not forgetting the underwear" Lucas said
"Even the underwear?" Shawn asked.
"Mostly the underwear" Lucas confirmed proudly.
