Maybelle's to the side, or top depending on where you're reading this.

Chapter 14

"We're here," Levi announced, parking the car. I looked out the window and smiled at how cute the place was. 

I turned to the side and saw a now wide awake Jason looking out excitedly. "Braska, it like our own adventure!" he said, throwing his fists up in the air. I chuckled at him and nodded. One of the perks of bringing Jason was not only to keep an eye on him, but also because I know it's his dream to explore the world.

"The Welcome Diner?" I asked, getting out of the car. Jason walked over to my side and held my hand as I followed the two inside.

I saw a couple sitting in one of the tables outside with the red umbrella's over them. Levi and Layton turned towards them and started making their way towards the couple. Those must be Maybelle and...I've really got to learn the other one's names.

They were too busy looking at the menu so they didn't notice we were sneaking up on them. But the good thing about that was that I got to hear a little bit of their conversations and I can say that they were pretty interesting people.

"I want a Spring Salad," someone who I considered to be Maybelle said.

The other guy rolled his eyes. "You're just saying that cause of that one girl who called you fat," the guy said.

Maybelle scoffed. "I'm not affected by her at all. I'm just thinking that I really should just get a salad."

"Hm yeah sure. Anyways so that's three champion burgers and an ice tea for you right?"

Maybelle hit him upside the head. "Why three burgers?"

"Cause you eat like a pig," he mumbled back, making the girl hit him a gain. "Okay woman now that's just abuse."

"Yeah May, I need him alive cause he owes me money," Levi butted in, squeezing himself between the two. The guy looked annoyed to see him but Maybelle looked excited. 

"Levi! So glad to see you!" she said, wrapping one arm around him. She saw Layton standing nearby and ran over and jumped into his arms. "Brother! Haven't seen you in so long! I was worried you've forgotten about your big sister," she teased, removing herself from his arms.

Layton smiled and ruffled her hair. "Now why would I forget someone who used to dress up as Dracula just to get me to play doll with her?" he said, sitting down in one of the empty seats. 

I was standing behind Layton so when he moved, I was completely visible to Maybelle. When she noticed me, her eyes grew wide and I was immediately engulfed into a hug. 

"Oh my god you must be his soulmate! Hi it's so nice to meet you! I've been dying to see the pretty girl that Layton was dreaming and whining and fantasizing over!" she squealed, not once loosening her hug.

I gave her an awkward pat back while the guy tugged on the back of Maybelle's shirt to get her to let go of me. I tried not to blush when she mentioned Layton and I could tell he was trying not to lash out at his sister for telling me that.

That only confirmed my thoughts that those two were very close to each other. For some reason, them being close together as siblings warmed my heart. Maybe it was because I was so close to my brother, it was nice to see someone else have that sort of bond with their siblings.

Maybelle took notice of Jason, who was clinging into my leg, and bent down to his level. "Aww...he's so cute!" she cooed, comfortingly rubbing Jason's arm. Jason smiled back at her shyly. "Is this your son with her?" she asked, turning towards Layton.
