Ares' Pov
I spent a while trying to make sense of the situation. Monica left her son with me and claimed it to be mine. I left my family because of my past. I left the girl of my dreams in another country. I can afford to see her, but the other money will have to come later.
I pack my bags and buy a plane ticket. As I head to the airport, Monica calls me.
"Hello?"
"I'm coming over to talk things out."
"I'm not home."
"Where are you going?"
I debate on lying. "The store."
"When will you be back?"
"Hmmm...I don't know."
"Are you lying to me?"
I hang up.
As I board the plane, I think about everything in action. I sit near the window and throw on headphones. I turn up the Kanye West album, nodding off in the seat.
When the plane lands, I hop in a cab, ready to talk things over with Adonis.
Zeus' Pov
After finding out I had three months to live, I decided to hang out with Adam while we can.
We sit in his room , eating.
"That's so funny, Zeus," Adam said, laughing at my joke.
"Thanks."
"What's it like in America? Your friends and family?"
"It's ... it can be nice at times. My friends Xavier and C are dope, man. They're the greatest. My family is too."
"Seems like you really like your friends, " Maya says.
"They've been around since I was like eight. They give great advice and have always had my back," I notice Adam's expression darken so I switch topics. "What's this country like for you , Maya?"
"Actually, I'm Moroccan. It's a beautiful country. I just ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time ..." she looks away.
I nod. This is going to be a long three months.
