Maya's POV:

Tuesday morning I was happy to be heading to school. I felt great, maybe It had something to do with how well rested my body was. I just hoped that today would be a little better than yesterday, with Shay hassling me and shit. Since Mel would be at school today, I figured she would at least be able to occupy Shay taking her mind off of the whole dating thing. I rolled my eyes just thinking about it, she is so stubborn.

After my quick shower I went downstairs with enough time to spare.  Settling down at the table I took my sweet time to eat my cereal. My phone started to ring, seeing the caller ID I answered it quickly.

"Hey stranger, why are you just now calling me?" 

"Sorry kid, I've been a little preoccupied with things down here. I miss you though," my brother said.

"I know you miss me. So what are you doing down there anyways?" I asked, he had just gone and left without telling me anything. I figured it had something to do with the shop. After the little brake in everything has been pretty good, and I hope it stays like that. Don't like seeing my brother worried like that.

"I got a call from Jason. You remember him, we use to work at the shop together. Well he heard about the brake in and wanted me come down here so we can sort some stuff out regarding the shop." Richard replied.

I do remember Jason. He and my brother was real close when he lived here in Houston.  I remember how I would always try to  tag along with Rich just to see him, at the time I had the hugest crush on Jason. They were the best of friends. They use to do everything together, the two were inseparable but for some reason he had moved down to Dallas and they lost contact. So I was rather confused as to why he had called him all out of the blue. 

"Yeah I do," I replied glancing at the clock, noticing  it will soon be time for me to pick Shay up.

"So he asked if he could help out. He wants to come down there and lend a extra hand, just in case. I know the shop hasn't gotten any attention so far but just to be on the safe side."

I could hear the joy in his voice. Clearly my brother still misses his best friend and haven't giving up on their relationship. Maybe having Jason come down here would be a really good thing.

"So by the sound of your voice I'm guessing you're more than ok with the idea?" I asked him.

It was a really good that he had his mind on something else.

"Yeah I am. So we will be coming back probably on Friday. Jason has to take care of somethings first," he responded.

"Why so long though?" I asked whining a little,making me feel a little selfish for wanting him all to myself

He started chuckling, "Maya, its just a few days. I want us to catch up while I'm here, that's all."

"Yeah ok. Have fun and I'll be expecting you on Friday no later got that?" I said using my strict no nonsense tone which got me another chuckle from him.

"Yes ma'am. Have a good day at school kiddo, and tell mom I'll call her later. Love you both, bye," he replied. After hanging up the phone I took my bowl to the sink and headed out the door.

When we got to the school I didn't even cut the engine yet and  Melanie was already running towards the car with a wide grin on her face. She looked the same except for the red streaks of highlights in her hair.
