"What's going on Maverick?" she asked through gloss covered eyes. I huffed. I hated the position I was in. I would have to force her to take the oath of Omertà because that's the only way I'd be able to tell her everything.
"You are sworn by Omertà...
I was in the shower thinking about what had happened in the past hour.
1. I woke up alone. 2. I walked downstairs. 3. I saw Mrs. Allegretti getting chocked. 4. We ran away.
The sequence of events was on a loop in my mind. I couldn't not think about it. I finally got out the shower and walked over to my closet deciding what to wear. "You should wear something green," I heard from behind me. I turned around to see Mrs. Allegretti. She gave me a small smile. "His favorite color is green."
I returned her small smile before grabbing the top and thinking of a cute outfit to match. Once I was done, I closed the closet door and started getting dressed. I put on a matching lace green bra and underwear set before I put on a dark green shirt and ripped dark wash shorts. I put on matching green Nike Air Vapormax's.

After I was done getting dressed, I walked out of my room to find Mrs. Allegretti was gone. Probably went back to her room. I walked over to my vanity and started doing my hair. I parted it into two sections and sleeked them back with gel into two sleek puffs. I then did my lashes and put some lipgloss on. My busted lip hadn't gone down and I don't know how I was going to explain it.
Once I was done, I got my mini Jansport and put my wallet, my lipgloss, a charger, and some gum into it. I closed it up and sling it on my shoulder before walking to the guest room. I had told her she could stay in this room and get ready for the game. I gave her some of Chloe's clothes that she leaves over here when she stays over. I knocked on the door. "Come in," she said softly.
I walked in and saw she had changed into Chloe's clothes. She was wearing a green shirt like me with light wash jeans and green vans. She dressed fairly young for a mom. I smiled and said, "You look great." She smiled. "Thank you, Alayah...for everything."
I gave her a small smile. "Of course. Now let's get out of here before Maverick has a heart attack," I said. We laughed and walked downstairs when I heard voices coming from the living room. We turned the corner and saw it was my Uncle Isaiah and Jacoby laughing and watching the game.
