Saturday:

I woke up to see Maria laying down next to me still asleep. She was facing the wall, so I couldn't see her face. She always looked cute when she was sleeping though because she always smiled. I got up off of my bed. I saw Cornelia was still asleep in her bed. I felt bad. Cornelia would sleep in my bed with me whenever Maria wasn't over since she wanted to make sure I was okay. I didn't want to push her away, but I did. And Sally. I didn't really talk to her as much because of helping out Maria at school and texting or hanging out with her a lot. I grabbed my phone to text her. It was 5 in the morning. God! Why was I always up so early? No wonder Lia wasn't up. I still texted Sally though.

I looked back at Maria. She was still asleep. I figured. Cornelia was still asleep. I opened the door and crept down the stairs. I fell back on the couch and turned on the TV. Of course there was nothing on like usual. My phone buzzed.

I ran up the steps as quietly as possible and opened the door smiling.

"Hey." Maria said sitting up.

"Hey." I said sitting next to her.

"Now what?"

"Are you hungry?" I asked with a smile.

"I am, but I'm not sure I trust your smile." She laughed.

"Give me one second." I went over to my dressers and grabbed some clothes. I reached out my hand. "Come on."

She grabbed my hand and got off of the bed. She picked up her crutches. "Should I be scared?"

"No." I opened the door and she followed me down the hall to the bathroom. "Right, you need help. Let me get dressed first." Maria sat down on the bathtub while I changed. I helped her change into her clothes, and then we brushed our teeth and hair.

"What are we doing, love? It's 5:30!" Maria asked as I helped her down the steps.

"We are going to get something to eat."

"Well why are we dressed?"

"We're sneaking out." I said as we walked towards the door.

"What?"

"I do it a lot; we're fine." I opened the door, and we walked out. "Do you trust me?"
