*next morning at the James' Residence*
*mom is pacing*
*Adam gets up*
"Kaelyn. Arissa will be fine. She needs time to calm down and so do you. Yesterday, you were a bit too emotional."
"Do you really think I was overreacting? I was just worried for my daughter. Is that wrong?"
*Adam leads mom to the couch to sit*
"It's not wrong that you're worried about her but you should've gave her a chance to explain herself. Maybe Mr. Bolvio was just sending her home."
*mom nods agreeingly*
"Kaelyn. Do you not plan to tell her the truth?"
*Zane's apartment*
*sniffs*
What is that smell? I rolled over.
*Arissa looks around*
Is this Zane's room? Didn't I sleep on the couch? I got up and went out to the kitchen.
"Zane? What are you doing?"
*Zane looks back and smiles at Arissa*
"Good morning. I'm made you breakfast."
Breakfast?
"You actually cooked?"
*Zane nods his head*
I take a bite out of his omelet.
"It's a little bland but rather have it bland than salty."
*Zane rests his arm on the kitchen island watching Arissa eat*
"Qiqi. Do you want to come live with me?"
I choked.
"What?"
*Zane chuckles*
"You don't want to live at home right? You don't have a job currently, do you want to live with me? I'll provide you everything."
"Thanks for your offer but I don't like to freeload others. I want to work and get a job on my own and provide for myself. I've been living under the roof of others doing and providing me everything. I need to learn to be independent."
"Do you want to go back home?"
I stopped eating. I don't know how to answer. I want to but at the same time I don't want to.
"I don't know. I'm not sure if I'm ready to face my mom again. I'm sorry for what she said to you yesterday. She can be a little excessive sometimes."
"It's okay."
*ring* *ring*
I checked my phone and Liam was calling.
"Hello?"
"Arissa, where are you?"
"Why...why do you ask?"
"Auntie is calling me non stop asking me where you are? Tell me where you are and I'll come pick you up."
"Liam...you don't have to. I can't really tell you where I'm at right now. I'll go home later today."
...
"Liam?"
"You're with Zane, aren't you?"
How did he know? Is he a psychic?
"Um..."
"It's okay. Just tell him to bring you home. I have to go."
*Liam hangs up*
