"What do you think they're talking about?" Black Star asked as he was slouched in his seat peeking out the window.
"Who knows…? Black Star we shouldn't get into his business anymore. He's… changed since we last saw him. He's not the same." Kid rested his hands on the wheel.
"What are you saying Kid? He's our best friend." Black Star turned to him and snapped.
"Look at him Black Star." Soul smiled and looked down at the ground.
"I'm sorry Maka."
"Don't go running off again without me please. I'm afraid you'll leave me here." Maka giggled. He shook his head and walked over to the car tapping on Black Stars window. Black Star jumped and screamed at the top of his lungs hugging Kids arm.
"Star', open up." Black star relaxed and opened the door.
"What's up Soul? Are you in trouble with your girl friend?" Soul sighed and leaned against the door.
"First: she's not my girl friend. And no I'm not in 'trouble'. She not my mom. We leave in a couple hours. Maka said we should get some sleep though."
"Soul? I'm gonna go… call my mom. Tell her I'm alright." Maka pointed back to the hotel.
"Kay." Kid turned off the car and stepped out. Black Star pushed Soul out of the way and jumped out at Souls feet.
"You sure she's not your girl friend?" Soul looked at him and closed the car door.
"Yes I'm sure." Soul walked off and into the building. Black Star looked across the hood of the car at Kid. Kid just shrugged his shoulders and followed Soul.
"Mama? No I'm just calling to tell you- no!" Maka sighed and sat down on the bed. Soul walked in and closed the door quietly behind his back. Maka shifted her eyes to him and back at her hand in her lap. Soul tried his best to be quiet as he slipped off his shoes and walked over to the bed next her. Maka furred her eye brows and watched him.
"No Mama! I don't think he would- I know, but- okay… were in Pennsylvania mom. I know that's far but tomorrow we'll be at his mom's house." Maka twirled her hair in her other hand and watched her feet. Soul held out his hand for the phone and mouthed 'let me talk to her.' Maka shook her head no and Soul tried grabbing the phone out of her hand and they both ended up falling onto the floor.
"Soul! Hang on mom- what is wrong with you?" Maka cover the phone with her hand.
"Let me talk to her for a sec." he held out his hand and Maka sighed handing it over.
"Good morning miss Albarn. Yeah, I know… what? I won't. You know me. Well- you don't, but I won't do that. Hey, okay, well I'm gonna give Maka back the phone cause it looks like she's about to murder me with her hands." Maka snatched the phone back and slapped Soul on the back of his head.
"I'll call you later mama okay. Bye." She hung up the phone and set it down on the bed. Soul stared at her and started backing away like he knows what's next.
"Soul! You idiot!" Maka shouted as he hopped on the bed laughing.
"Oh man, Maka. Your moms so paranoid! Why would she think I would do that? I'm 15. I don't do that unlike most guys!" Maka threw the pillow at him and sat down on the bed.
"Yeah, but after my father, I wouldn't blame her for being like that." Souls smiled slowly left his face and he dropped the pillow on the bed.
"Maka…"
"What?"
"Your father…? Did he-,"
"I don't want to talk about him okay? I don't even want to call him my father anymore…" Soul crawled next to Maka on the bed and sat cross legged, taking a deep breath.
"That should make two of us then." Maka looked over her shoulder at him and smiled sadly.
"Where Black Star and Kid?" Maka asked breaking the awkward silence between the two of them.
"Kid said something about it not being 'healthy' sleeping in the same room with four people, so he got an extra room for him and Black Star."
"Your friends are weird…"
"Yeah, I know…" Maka moved back so she was next to Soul and turned to face him, "What about you? You said you were from-,"
"Washington. Not the capitol, just… Washington."
"Right, isn't it always raining there?" Maka shook her head and bit her lip. Soul chuckled and fiddled with his socks on his feet. Maka looked around the room for something to distract herself as the silence took over again. 'Why was it so awkward now? It wasn't like this the rest of the trip so… why now?'
"Maka," Soul whispered, "I-uh-," Maka turned her attention to Soul. He leaned forward and quickly closed the gap between them before Maka could protest.
