Chapter 8: barely breathing

The next day after the three of them had put Isobel into the hospital in the psychiatric ward under the pretence that she was a danger to herself and others shchi as it turns out wasn't that much of a lie considering recent developments about the past, the three remaining aliens tried to go about their lives as normally as they could which for Malia meant going to work in the local high school while Max decided to invite his adopted mother over for a visit and Michael went to work in the scrapyard. After school was over however Malia decided to go over to Isobel and Noah's house in order to pick up a few things for Isobel since she had given her a list before she left the hospital last night since she trusted her to get the right things compared to the boys as well as Noah had picked up everything belonging to her in the trailer last night. Malia wore a long grey sweater dress that had blue and white shirt trimmings on the bottom of it and the sleeves to make it look more professional that always showed off her growing baby bump, she also wore it with a pair of black combat boots. She wore her hair in two braids at either side of her head before placing the rest of it up into a bun, she also wore lightly smoked eye makeup and a dusty pink. Malia let herself into the house using the spare key that Isobel had given her years ago just in case as she walked into the bedroom Isobel shared with Noah as she began to grab a bag and pack everything Isobel had asked for

" I thought I heard a noise, I just figured I was hearing things then I remembered seeing Michael's truck outside" Noah said standing by the bedroom door as he watched Malia pack his wife's things away

" Noah... geez, you scared me!" Malia said thankful that her frightened state didn't come with an additional of her powers such as a random burst of flames or something blown up in the room

" I scared you? Imagine how I'm feeling... what are you doing here, Malia?" Noah said without his usual amount of warmth as Malia tried not to let her emotions take over her as she thought about the anger coming from him

" Isobel asked if I could swing by and grab her a few things like pyjamas, slippers, her makeup bag because despite whatever is going on with her is no excuse for looking bad" Malia said trying to lighten the mood

" whatever is going on with her? Come on, you're seriously going to stand there and tell me that you don't know what's going on with her?" Noah said thinking about how close the four of them were

" Noah, I'm art teacher not a doctor. I know as much as you do" Malia said trying to lie convincingly to a lawyer to dealt with liars everyday as she tried busy herself with the task at hand for Isobel

" bull! You know I was always okay with how the four of you all seem to be dependant on each other but now it's wrecking my marriage with Isobel" Noah said getting anger as he moved closer to her

" we're dependant with each other because we've been through things that no one else can understand and for the record, you kicking Isobel out definitely help your marriage and you can't blame us for that one" Malia said realising that not only could she feel his emotion but they were affecting her too
