When Zoey and Maya got downstairs, they were greeted by Maya's Mother.
"Hello you two!" Misses Matlin said happily, as Mr. Matlin walked up beside her.
"Mom, Dad!" The Blue-Eyed Girl replied cheerfully, before talking some more.
"I thought you weren't gonna be home until tonight?" Maya added, looking at her father.
"Well I decided to leave the fishing trip early... Because my friends were getting a bit crazy. Apparently one of our buddies, Alex invited some women over for a party last night, so I got my stuff left and got home a few minutes before your Mom woke up this morning," The Man explained.
"And it was such a nice surprise! Dancing with my friends really made me miss you!" The Woman said lovingly to her husband.
"Well I'm here now, Darling," Mr. Matlin purred at his wife.
"Awww!" Maya squealed as Zoey tried her hardest to keep her cool.
Dealing with having feelings for someone was one thing, but being right next to that person while watching others be romantic was another.
"So, Zoey! Are you been having fun?" Misses Matlin asked, putting a plate of waffles in front of the dark haired girl.
"Yes I am, Misses Matlin," The Brown-Eyed Girl responded, while trying to feel like she was lying... But sadly knew that what came out was the truth.
"Good! Just making sure oh and just call me, Margaret," The Blonde-Haired Lady replied kindly, before she walked away.
"Why is your Mom using crutches? Did she break something?" Zoey questioned.
"No she's got multiple sclerosis, and most of the time she uses a wheelchair to get around," The Older Girl answered.
Then it hit her: Zoey realized something... Maya had problems too! Now she felt even more for the girl she 'hated'
"Oh, Maya Matlin... Why must you do this to me?" Zoe mumbled under her breath, before giving her friend a comforting hug.
