MAXINE'S POV
"Shit." I said out loud, forgetting that Eric was still within hearing distance.
"What? What is it?"
"Amy called, Sean called, they know something is up……Eric, I'm not going to lie to them once they ask me where I really was…"
I saw the hurt in his eyes but I had to do the right thing if they had asked.
"Although," I went on, "I could just avoid their phone calls……And I don't have to call them back until I feel as if I'm ready."
"Yeah, but wont that put pressure on you? Wont that make you nervous KNOWING that when you get home, Amy will question you about it?"
I thought about this for a moment, not realizing that he had a point and then I did start to feel a little nervous.
"Now that you put it in those terms, I should probably call them now."
"NO! Please…Don't."
My cell phone rang and it was Sean calling for the sixth time in two hours.
I sighed and said to Eric, "It's Sean…I should answer."
I didn't want to upset Eric but I felt even worse lying to my boss and daughter.
"Hello?" I finally answered.
"Maxine! Where the hell have you been all day? I called Amy and I KNOW you didn't go shopping for dresses because she TOLD me! Why would you lie like that?"
I didn't know what to do, I panicked and started to have a craving for a cigarette. This was a big deal. If Eric was tested negative for HIV, then there was no need to tell Sean anything. But we haven't even gotten the results back yet so there is no way of knowing for maybe another week or two.
"Hold on Sean."
I covered the mouth piece with my hand and whispered to Eric, "What should I tell him?"
"Um, tell him that…You are with a foster mother who called you at the last minute."
"Sorry Sean, I'm with a foster mother right now so I cannot talk at the moment. May I call you back?"
"Maxine, what the hell is going on?"
I panicked even more.
"Sean, I will call you back! For heaven's sake, stop pestering me!"
I hung up. I picked up my purse and pulled out a cigarette.
"I didn't know you smoked."
"In this case, it's worth it."
AMY'S POVI got home in a terrible mood as it was. I don't know what my mother was hiding from Sean and I but whatever it was, it better be a good reason.
"MOM! I'm home!"
No answer and then finally, I saw her coming down the stairs.
"Where were you? Why did you lie to Sean? Why did you have to bring me into your stories? What were you lying about in the first place!"
"Amy, someone spent the night last night and I didn't tell you about it. I should have, but I didn't."
"I don't want to hear about your sex encounters with Ignacio…"
"On the contrary Amy, it wasn't Ignacio."
"Then who was it? Whoever it was better have a damn good reason for convincing you to lie to Sean and me! And let me tell you something—Oh my god. Eric, what-what are you doing here?"
It's been so long that I had completely forgotten about him…Now it was my turn to feel bad.
"Hello Amy." He said, sounding nervous and happy at the same time.
I couldn't find the words to say to him. I wanted to say so much but not all of them could come out at once so I just stayed quiet not knowing what to say to him first. Then I started asking him questions as if there was NO tomorrow.
"I—You—Hello. Were you the one that spent the night last night? Where did you go? Who were you with? Why are you back?"
"Yes, I spent the night. I went with Mark and Maxine told you that, I came back because I was having some issues with Mark."
I was appalled! "So…You decided to use…pretty much as a safety net in case anything happened to you and Mark?"
"No! It's not that it's just…" but I interrupted him.
"I thought you actually cared about us and I'm sure you did at one point but what are we now Eric?"
"Amy…Can I see you in the kitchen for a moment please?" My mother sounded serious. I wanted to know what was going on.
"Maxine, don't! Please. Don't."
"Don't what?" Now I was definitely curious, I was so distracted by the situation that I hadn't realized that I'd left the front door cracked open…
My mother sighed before saying, "Eric, it'll only be Amy and I who know. Okay?"
He nodded and finally gave in.
"Who's going to tell me what?"
"Amy, Mark has tested positive for HIV and I took off work to take Eric to get tested. Don't tell Sean until we get the results next week. If they are positive, then we just wont say anything. Sean wouldn't be smart enough to figure out that Eric is back anyway."
"Oh, mom, Sean may not be the smartest one in the group but he's not stupid. Sooner or later, he'll figure out that Eric was here."
"SEAN!" My mother yelled out and made me jump. I ran out in front of Eric and Sean didn't even realize that he was standing right behind me.
"What's going on? I heard voices and I heard Eric's name…Is he here?"
He stepped out from behind me.
"Hi Sean…"
"Maxine…Even I thought you would tell me what was going on. I guess we aren't as good of friends as I thought we were. Amy, I am appalled that a judge would hide something like this from me and Eric, I thought you would have come to me instead of Maxine but apparently, you don't care about me enough to tell me what's going on."
"Sean…" my mother began.
"Have a nice life. Really, I mean that."
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED IT!
