Maka and Soul figured it was time to tell their parents about their news. Their new place would be ready after tomorrow's show so it would be weird for them to just move out without an explanation. Soul and Maka walked back to the park and sat on the bench. "Well here goes nothing" he sighed dialed the phone and it ranged twice before he heard. His father pick up the phone. "Hello Soul"
"Hey dad is Mom around, i have to tell you guys something"
"What did you do this time"
Before Soul could answer he could hear his mother on the background asking if it was him. He could hear his father pass the phone over to his mother and she spoke "Soul what did you want to tell us" Soul scratched the back of his head before speaking "I got a record deal" he finally said. He could hear silence then he heard his mother screaming for Joy "Oh my goodness, that is amazing, when did you find out? Nevermind, it doesn't matter I can't believe you actually did it. Just imagine our son playing classical music at Carnegie Hall." and this was the part Soul was going to dread. "Actually, it's not for classical music" he said. Both of his parents said "What?"
"Yeah"Soul spoke "see I been working on my own style and got a deal with the CEO of Deathly records." the line got silent. "Oh that's great honey" his mom said but by the way she said it and the silence confirmed his suspicion. They still weren't happy with him he manage to get a deal of a lifetime and his parents still disappointed. He did know if he should feel angry or upset but instead of dwelling on it he simply told them he has to leave and hung up. It amazing him how no matter how hard he tried he still could impress his parents.
Now it was Maka turn. Of course she wasn't going to tell her stepmother she she called a number she new by heart whenever she got lonely. The phone rung for a little bit before she heard a voice but it wasn't a voice she wanted to hear. She was looking to speak to her dad and instead she heard a man with a husky voice that sounded a few years older than her dad. "Hello is this Maka?" the voice asked "Who is this and where is my dad"
"I figured that's what you were going to say well let me just start off by saying im Officer Tory. I've have been really trying to find the right word for the last two days." Maka felt her heart drop "Where is my dad" she choked out. "Your dad is here but he was injured in war and he fell into a coma where going to stabilize him and send him to the Las Vegas hospital I'm so sorry you had to find out this way I promise I will call you if anything changes. "Maka couldn't speak she just let a tear rolled down her check. She tried to pull herself together "Yes thank you" Maka never hung up so quickly. Soul looked out her with concern "Is everything okay" she just stared at the ground afraid to look at him with breaking down into a mess. Before maka could say anything her phone ranged. She looked to see that the caller ID was her horrible stepmother. She cursed under her breath forgetting that she was suppose to come back after break.
She answered it to hear nothing but huge crowd talking in the background. She could hear Tina say something about killing her. "Where are you, you good for nothing child"Maka rubbed her temples and sighed. "I got caught up in something I'm sorry I'll be there as soon as I can" she could hear Tina scoff "Mark my words if your not here in the next five minutes so help me I will make you stay here all night and clean the floor until there wasn't a single spot on it." Maka could feel herself getting heated and her tongue when lose " What is wrong with you, I do everything you ask and more and all you do is complain about everything. It's not even your restaurant it my dad's and the only reason why he let your sorry ungrateful, rotten,crusty self take over is because you have no other skills other than flirting with men half your age." She heard the line get quiet and then she heard Tina get loud and rage " WHO DO YOU THINK YOUR TALKING TO! YOU MUST'VE LOST YOUR MIND. YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT COMING TO THE RESTAURANT OR GOING BACK HOME BECAUSE YOU NO LONGER HAVE ONE YOU WORTHLESS GOOD FOR NOTHING WHORE. YOU WILL NEVER BE MY DAUGHTER" Maka could feel the tears rolled down your face "SCREW YOU" And with that said maka chucked her phone and started to walk away.
She didn't know where she was going but something was just telling her to just go. She could feel someone grab her hand and spin her around. It was Soul and his eyes were filled with concern. "Maka what wrong talked to me please" she shook her head and took her hand away "I can't do this I just" she choked on her words and started to sob. Soul brought her into a hug. Although he hasn't know her for that long it felt as if he known her all his life and it pained him to see her like this. 'Why does such a kind a beautiful person have to go through all of this' he thought to himself.
When she started to settle down they sat by the bench and she told him what was going on. After hearing that Soul's blood began to boil. His hands were balled up. He looked over toward her as she sobbed into her hands. "Maka I am so sorry, you don't deserve this" was all Soul could say he sighed "if there is anything I could do please let me know." She look over to him. "If this all doesn't workout I will literally be jobless homeless and alone" Soul shook his head "You will never be alone you got me and from this day forth I am not gonna leave you. We are partners and we are a team. If it wasn't for you we probably would be doing this. Tonight you could crash out my place we could order a pizza."
Maka eyes widen "We are playing our first gig tomorrow and we haven't even performed a single full song together" Soul pulled out his phone " Well we have approximately 30 hours until our gig so why don't I get us some food and we could work on it". She nodded and the two got up and made their way to Soul's apartment
