Last couple of weeks May had been going over to Drew to work on their project. Every time he ask if he can go over to her house so they can work on it she turns him down or makes up some kind've lie that going on. The only reason he knows that she lying is because anytime he saw her mom at the market or some othe rplace he would ask her or tell what May said to him and she always said that wasn't true and doesn't get why May was lying to him about him entering into her house.
He didn't want to tell her to stop lying or anything but that wasn't who she was though. May wasn't the kind of person who would lie about anything. Well maybe homework or something that wasn't really a big deal and that was it.
Today was going to be a little bit different. This time Drew decided to finally ask her why she is lying to him about entering her house and working there. And she better have a good answer for it. He was mostly getting sick of her being quiet for everything now. At school, when they work together. May was always talking about some weird thing and the next she quiet and not talking to anyone. There even been rumors about why she been quiet. Some say she lost her voice to something and other think it maybe a bet that she can't stay quiet and other but no one normally believe the other rumors though. It was the most popular ones only and that it.
He heard the door knock and went to see who it was. It was May. "Perfect" he whispered silently to himself before opening the door to let her in.
"Hi Drew" she said as she walked inside. "Hey" he replied back and shutting the door. May put her bookbag on to the floor and turn to look at Drew. "You wanna get started?" he looked at her before he answer he didn't know if he should ask her before she leaves or now. If he ask before she leaves she might make a lie or something and if he ask her now then maybe she won't runaway or anything.
"Um…actually I wanna ask you something" the way he said it was serious which made her curious and scared all at once. "Um..ok. What is it that you wanna ask me?" he moved his eyes to her. He licked his lips before he could ask her.
"How come you lie" that came out wrong and it hurt her feelings a little bit too. "I didn't mean it like that. I meant to say why are you lying May? About working together at your house and all that. It doesn't make sense" he finally got the words out right. May was scared. Everyday when she came home and Max was at soccer practice or drum lessons or something and her mom working and it would only be her and her stepdad and it would start all over again. He would rape her then threaten her and now Drew wanted answe from her.
She looked at him with scared eyes and he could tell if it something bad then he shouldn't have ask but he was curious so he wanted to know. "I-I-It complicated" was her answer but Drew knew that there was more than that. "Come on May you can tell me. It not like you were rape or anything" when hearing what he said than more fear came in mixing it with the scared and he saw that in her eyes.
He looked down on the floor now regretting what he just said cause if he didn't say that than maybe she wouldn't have been scared. "Oh man. I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were—" he stopped and saw tears coming down her eyes now.
"I have to go" she said grabbing her bookbag and trying to walk past Drew but he grabbed her arm which lead to crying onto his shoulder and him comforting her. Normally he was the one bulling her not comforting her about anything and he wouldn't make acceptions either. But in her case he had to because it was serious and all.
He let go of May and put his arm around and walk to the couch to sit down and talk now. "Come on..tell me everything that happen" he said with more tears and having the threats that Andrew told her she couldn't bare to tell anyone but it was killing her inside that she spilled the whole story to him including the threats too.
Now everything was making sense to Drew on why she was acting different to everyone now.
