I glanced into Adrienne's room from my desk; that dog had been her best friend, it had been two months, yet Adrienne still was hurting over Samaria, I was tempted to take her to the pound and get her a new dog, but that was a possible mistake. I wouldn't get her another dog unless she asked for one. The young teen sat on her bed, hugging her knees, gazing out the window opposing her bed with a glassy haze. Seeing the young girl in so much pain, it hurt me to even look at her. I sighed as I heard a knock at the front door. Gazing at Adrienne for one last moment I went to answer the door. I was surprised to see Maybelle. I cleared my throat nervously.
"Is Adrienne here?" She asked, her blue eyes wide.
"Adrienne hasn't let since we got back from the vet." I told her, stepping back to let her in.
"We were all worried about her, she always talked about Samaria like he was a person." Maybelle told me, smiling wearily. I nodded.
"Samaria was all she had for a while until I took her in myself." I told Maybelle.
"Really? What about her parents?" Maybelle asked. I looked at her.
"They hadn't cared since her sisters were killed." I whispered quietly. Glancing towards the direction of Adrienne's room.
"Oh, can I go see her?" Maybelle asked. I nodded leading her to Adrienne's room. I stood there for a moment, thinking that the teen would notice us. When she didn't I grew worried, knocking.
"Maybelle's here to see you." I told her. Adrienne didn't even acknowledge me. So I just stepped back and let Maybelle enter the room. I left the two women to be alone with each other, Maybelle knowing Adrienne far longer than I, after I left the doorway; Maybelle closed the door behind her.
Adrienne
Erik told me Maybelle was here to see me, I didn't care right now who came to see me. I just wanted Samaria back I couldn't help but think I'd never see him again, that dog was my best friend. Then I just wanted to curl up in a ball and be left alone. Maybelle closed the door as Erik left the doorway. I huffed looking at her.
"Have you eaten?" Maybelle asked me. I shook my head. Maybelle sat down on the bed beside me, wrapping her arm around my shoulder, she brought me closer to her, kissing the top of my head motherly.
"Baby, you need to eat." She told me gently. I didn't reply.
"You don't want Erik to be alone if you get sick, Adrienne, I know you cared a lot about Samaria, but you can't just mope around, you're the prima ballerina, we need you at the Opera House." Maybelle told me. I sighed, looking at her.
"I know, I need to get back to work, do you know what Opera we're working on?' I asked her. She smiled.
"Erik will walk you through it Honey, but I need to go, I have a babysitting job down the road and decided to come and check on you." Maybelle hugged me and kissed my cheek lovingly, getting up, she left my room, I watched her go. Erik stood to bid her farewell, I smiled as I noticed he watched her go with a soft, lovey dovey look on his face. At least I was finding Erik closer when it came to love. He looked to me from the living room. He walked across the hall and leaned against my doorway.
"Do you want to go anywhere for dinner." He asked me, I shrugged, unfolding my legs, a swung them over the bed.
"I guess we could ride around." I told him, Erik smiled. He left my doorway and got the keys to the Skyline, me following checking myself in the mirror briefly before going out to meet him.
