Chapter 8 Are They Secrets or Lies?
-SOULS POV
Me and Maka sat at the kitchen table I was eating breakfast while Maka was playing with her food.
"Why arent you eating?" I asked as I ate a mouth full of eggs.
"I'm feeling kinda sick right now.."
"Need any medecine?"
"No, thanks.. I'll get over it.."
A few minutes of silence passed until I finally spoke.
"So, Maka what did you have in mind to do today?"
"Hm.. I really wanted to walk in the park but that can't happen because everyone will see you."
I nodded.
"Maybe the movies? Its dark, no one will see you."
"Hmm... that would be a good idea but, I'm tired of movies.. thats all we've been doing for the past few days is watching movies."
"Yeah.. well then I'm out of ideas..but I'm fine just staying at home with you."
"Maka.. no, go out with the others. Don't stay here because of me, I'm not going anywhere, I'll be here when you get home."
"No Soul.. I-I don't want to, I just want to stay here..."
"Maka don't be afraid.. I wont leave yo-"
"I'm not afraid of being alone.. I'm afraid of just being with out you."
I was silent. Tears were threatening to fall from Makas eyes.
"I've been without you for 3 years, 3! Do you know what thats like? To be alone, without the person you love with you?"
"Y-yes I do Maka-"
"You don't act like it?!" Maka yelled.
The home phone began ringing, neither of us moved to answer it.
'Whats wrong with her? Why is she being so sensitive all of a sudden? I just want her to be happy and I don't want to hold her back from what life can offer...' I thought to myself.
The phone rang a few more times before the answering machine picked it up, and a very familiar voice began to speak.
"Hey... Maka. It's Wes..."
My eyes widened. Maka looked at the answering machine.
"Sorry if I called too early or something, but I'm gonna be in town today and wanted to know if you wanted to have lunch or something."
I got out of my chair and walked to the answering machine.
"What are you doing Soul?"
"Yeah so call me back if you-"
The message ended there when I pulled the answering machine out of the wall.
"What the hell Soul?" Maka stood up.
"You can't see Wes."
"Why?!"
"B-because.. you just can't!"
"Soul, tell me why. I'm tired of all these secrets! Just tell me!"
I walked up to Maka and held her hands in mine. "Maka, just this once trust me and know I'm doing this to protect yo-"
Maka pulled away from me. "To protect me Soul?! Or are you doing it because you're afraid I like Wes more than you?!" Maka yelled.
My heart sank. 'Why would Maka say something like that?'
"You know what I think I will go out today." Maka walked past me. "With Wes."
I looked over my shoulder and saw Maka slam her bedroom door.
'Why is she so moody all of a sudden?'
I heard Maka talking to someone on the phone. I walked up to her bedroom door and listened.
"Yeah, that sounds good, around 2? I'll be ready. Bye!"
"Shit..I've gotta tell Lord Death..."
I put on my cloak that was sitting in the living room and left the apartment.
-MAKAS POV-
I hung up the phone after agreeing to go out with Wes for lunch, though I like Wes as a friend, I only agreed to go out with him because I was pissed at Soul..
I put my phone down on the end table and went to go get ready for lunch. I noticed Soul was gone, but I assumed he went home.
As soon as I was done getting dressed for lunch I heard a knock at my door.
"Coming!" I ran to the door and opened it to see Wes.
"Hey!" We both said as we leaned in and hugged.
"Come in, I'm almost ready. Just have to put my shoes on."
Wes came inside and st on the cuch as I put my shoes on.
"So where are we going for lunch?"
"I'm not too familiar with this area so I was gonna let you choose."
"Oh, ok well I have this nice restaraunt in mind. Its real good!"
Wes smiled "Sounds good. So.. how have you been?"
"I've been.. better actually! I've been a little sick today but I think I'm over that."
"Oh well lets hope so!"
I nodded.
"Shall we go?"
We walked out and got in Wes's car, I directed Wes to the placeI love to eat at, we got out and sat at our table.
-SCENE SWITCH-
Patty was giggling uncontrollably.
"Shush Patty we are spies." Kid said as he rised up from a bush staring at a silver car that pulled up, with a man in it.
"We are here to see who Maka's mystery man is..."
"Isn't this invasion of Maka's personal life?"
"Yes, but its for a good cause!" Kid yelled.
"Get down Kid!" Liz yelled as she shoved Kid back in the bushes.
They watched as a man who looked extremely similar to Soul get out of the car. He had white hair like Soul's but it was tamer, he had red eyes too, but thats all they could tell from the distance they were.
"W-who is that guy?" Kid asked.
"That looks a lot like Soul!" Patty yelled.
Liz and Kid at the same time covered Patty's mouth and ducked even lower into the bushes the mystery man turned and looked in their direction, but he shrugged it off and went up stairs to Maka's apartment.
"He does look like Soul.. but he can't be Soul, thats impossible..."
"I know but..he looks too similar to him..." Liz added on.
"Quick get down!" Kid said as they all three ducked again this time seeing the look alike and Maka get into the same car and leave.
"I think we need to talk to my dad..." Kid said.
Liz and Patty nodded.
-MAKAS POV-
"Ok, so what are you getting?" Wes asked me.
"I don't know... maybe a salad."
"But this is a steak house. Why not et something with a little bit of meat in it?"
I shrugged. "I think I'll throw up if I eat anything with meat in it right now.."
Wes sighed. "Ok.. well I know what I'm getting." We both laid down our menues.
"So Maka."
"Yes?"
"What have you been up to lately? Anything new happening?"
"Uhm- heh not really, its the same thing...I get up get dressed.. eat, watch tv.. go out if I have to and go home and sleep."
"Well thats exciting." We said sarcastically. We both laughed a little.
"If you're not busy would you like to come visit, and meet all of the family? My mother , grandmother and my brother."
"Wait? Brother? Theres another one of you?" I laughed.
"Yeah, he's the oldest. But if you're lucky you wont have to meet him. He's bad news. "
"Bad news? Why?"
"Well... he..uhm."
"Its ok. You don't have to tell me." I said and Wes smiled at me.
"But if you don't mind me asking. Whats his name?"
"Oh his name is Akito.."
"Does he look like you and Soul?"
"Oh, no he takes after our mother, golden eyes and black hair."
"Oh.. uhm he sounds.."
"Charming?" Wes finished then laughed a little.
"Haha... What is your mother and father like?"
"Well our mother, shes nice.. but strict.. she wants her 3 boys to be perfect. She expected the most of Soul.."
"Why?"
Wes smiled. "Because he was the only one who broke away from the perfect line of Evans. Soul found our way of life boring. I mean a family of musicians.. not really entertaining."
"Musicians? Do you play an instrument?"
"Yes I do actually. I play violin like my mother. Akito plays the basic guitar like our father. And Soul played-"
"Played the piano." I finished.
Wes nodded. "Out of the entire family, even from the past generations, Soul is the only Evans to ever play piano."
"Wow.." I said a little impressed.
"Yes, and to top all that off we all 3 sing. Though Soul doesnt like to sing. But mother would make us...But anywas back to what we were talking about. Our mother has golden eyes and black hair, I'm not trying to brag but she is gorgeous, though she is in her late 30's she could pass for a 25 year old."
I smiled.
"And our father, well me and Soul got our looks from our father the only thing Soul got on his own that was different and un-heard of in our family is the spikey teeth..."
"Oh really? I used to think that he went and got his teeth filed down that way.. I don't know why..."
"No.. he was born with them...its a little weird but he looks cool like that."
I smiled. "Soul would've loved to hear you say that... Well what else about your father?"
"Oh thats it.. I bearly knew him and Soul never got to meet him. He left us. Mother said it was because f his job and that he loved us but Soul thought other wise. Soul blamed himself for our father leaving."
"Why?"
Wes shrugged. "I guess because he left soon after Soul was born. But Soul never gave a specific reason why."
I nodded. "Thats kinda sad...Why would he leave because of a job?"
"Well our dad has 2 jobs. I don't know if Soul ever told you but our family is extremely wealthy. Our fathers side job is running the family company 'Evans Music Co.' which is the company I will inherit."
"N-no he didn't.. he never told me any of this. W-well if thats the side job then whats the main job?"
"I'm not aloud to tell anyone. But Soul was the pnly one who is able to inherit the main job... But suprisingly he never wanted to.. he wanted nothing to do with our family. I think its because everyone pushed him, all except our grandmother, she always told him he was perfect and wonderful. Then one day Soul found out he had wepon blood in him and he showed me before anyone else. The only thing Soul said was 'I've finally found my ticket out of this hell.' Our grandmother was heartbroken when he left but she was happy for him..."
"Thats so sad! I can't believe Soul never told me any of this! So why is Soul the only one who can run the first job?"
Wes was silent. Then uur food was set down in front of us.
"Ok well lets eat and I'll tell you more after!"
I agreed and we both began to eat but.. I couldnt helpt but feel sick, I tried to focus on my salad but the smell of the meat all around me was making me too sick to my stomach.
"Are you ok? You look like you're about to-"
I stood up and ran to the bathroom, where I threw up what little food I had eaten that day. After 10 minutes or so I came out to see Wes leaning against the wall waiting for me.
"Maka are you ok?"
"I-I'm fine.. Ive been sick all morning.. and I don't feel like myself..."
"Do you want to go home?"
"I actually do feel really tired.."
"Ok c'mon, I'll take you home."
We got in Wes's car and he took me home and escorted me to my bed where I laid down. We said our goodbyes and Wes left.
I toss and turned in bed thinking. "What day is it?" I asked myself.
My eyes widened. I jumped out of bed and ran down stairs to the store and bought some things. When I got home I went straight to the bathroom.
Around 15 minutes later I walking back and forth anxiously waiting for results.
"Come on..." I said as I looked at the little stick resting on the bathroom counter.
"3 more minutes..."
The long three minutes had passed. My stomach started to tighten up again.. but this time it was fear. I slowly walked up to the bathroom counter and grabbed the little stick that laid there and what appeared was a pink cross.
I gasped and dropped it on the floor. "D-does the pink plus sign mean.. I'm pregnant?" I ran into the bedroom and grabbed the box laying on the bed, I picked it up and read the back only to discover that the pink cross did in fact mean I was pregnant.
My heart began beating fast and I had a funny feeling in my stomach. I couldnt tell if I was happy, sad, angry or excited. I think I was all of those at once.
"I've gotta tell Soul!" I yelled as I jumped off my bed, I ran to my closet and grabbed a change of clothes and just as I was walking into the living room, Soul was walking in.
"Soul!"
"Maka, you're home? I thought you were out with Wes?"
"Well yeah I did go to eat lunch with him but all we talked about was you.. a-and then I thre up and he brought me home.."
Soul took off his cloak and tossed it on the ground. "You guys talked about me?"
I nodded.
"What did he say?"
"He just told me about how you're filthy rich! And you get your good looks from your dad!"
"Good looks huh?" Soul said smiling as he walked closer to me.
"Don't let it go to your head."
"Is that all you talked about?"
"Uhm no."
"What else?" Soul said suddenly.
"Well Wes told me that you have an older brother named.. Akita?"
"Akito.." I Soul corrected me.
"Yeah... Well.. no he also told me about your family business... both of them.."
Soul looked at me shocked a little.
"H-he told you?"
I gave him a confused look. "Yeah? He told me about your music company..but he wouldn't tell me alot about the other business.. just that you were supposed to run it, that you are the only person in the family who can run it."
"Oh.. yeah.. well I'm glad I don't have to. I'm happy just being your partner."
I smiled then frowned.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"Well.. I just.. I just want to apologize for how I acted this morning.. I didn't know why I was so moody."
"Oh... It's nothing to worry about, but... you didn't know? Do you know now?" Soul asked curiously.
I smiled brightly. "Yes I do actually!"
I took a few steps away from Soul and placed my hands on my hips pulling on my shirt making causing it to fit tigtly around my stomach. I know I wasn't showing at all but I was hoping Soul would take the hint.
Soul stared at me for a good 3 minutes before speaking. "Uh-D-dont tell me! You lost weight?!" He said excitedly as if he had guessed itt correctly.
"...no..." I stopped posing and walked up to Soul and grabbed his hand.
I held onto his hand for a minute before placing it underneath my shirt onto my stomach. I looked up from my stomach at Soul who was still looking at our hands. He finally looked up with a shocked expression.
"M-Maka you're?"
I nodded and smiled. Soul did not speak for a minute I thought he was mad or upset until he lifted me up and spun me around, I started to laugh.
"Thats amazing news!" Soul yelled to me happily. He set me back down and then kissed me.
"I'm glad you're happy Soul..." I hugged him.
"Of course I am.. why wouldn't I be?" He asked.
"I don't know... I was thinking that maybe you didn't want a baby.."
"Well this was really unexpected but that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna be there. I'm actually really excited."
I pulled away and looked at Soul. "You are?"
"Yes! Why wouldn't I want to start a family with the woman I love?!"
I we smiled at each other until I heard a knocking on my front door.
"Who is it?" I yelled.
"It's Kid! Shall I return some other time?" We heard Kid ask.
"Hurry, hide!" I told Soul quietly.
Soul quickly ran and hid in the closet in the hallway. I walked up to the door and opened it, Kid smiled at me.
"Hello Maka."
"Hi Kid." I moved to the side gesturing for Kid to come inside.
"What are you here for?"
"Oh, I was making sure you were alright, you are sick arent you?"
My eyes widened a little. Oh shit I forgot...
"Y-yeah I am!" I coughed a little. Kid gave me an unbelieving stare.
"Maka you can't fool me, I'm a reaper."
I sighed in defeat. "Ok you cought me, but just because you're a reaper doesnt mean that I can't fool you." I joked around.
Kid smiled. "Maka.. May I ask you something?"
"S-sure?"
"Why did you lie and say you were sick? Did you just not feel like going out today? If that's the case then you can just tell me, I'll understand."
"N-no thats not it its just." I glanced over at the closet Soul was in without Kid noticing.
"Does it have to do with a man?"
I began to blush. "Man?! What man?!"
"This morning a man answered your phone. And I saw man entering your apartment eralier today."
I tilted my head. "How'd you know that?"
"N-I-I just know!" Kid argued.
I looked at the closet again. "Well I'm not seeing a guy really." I looked at Kid. "But I've been talking to Soul's older brother Wes."
"Soul has a brother?"
"Yes 2 actually. Soul was the youngest."
Kid nodded. "That explains why the man looked just like Soul." Kid stated as he looked at the clock.
"Well I've found out all I need to know for now! Thank you Maka and we must meet up some time so we can talk more, ok?"
I nodded. Why was he leaving so soon?
"Bye!" He said as he walked out the door.
"B-bye?"
"Damn it!" I heard Soul say as he fell out of the closet. "I thought he'd never leave!"
