#Chapter81
JESS POV
Why did I still feel bad that I was the reason that forced Brent to get into an altercation then storm away in a rage? I wanted to thank him and also apologize for him being put into the situation but of course, he never returned to the ballroom.
/"You okay?/" Maya asked.
/"Im fine./" I took another sip of the spiked up punch. I really didn't want to go into full detail of how I felt because she may think Im crazy. Besides, she seemed a little unfocused herself so I didn't want her to add another concern to her plate. /"How are you?/"
/"Just...trying to get through the night./" She smirked.
/"Me and you both./" We laughed.
/"Maya?/" A girl's squeal caught our attention. She walked up to Maya and wrapped her arms around her.
A friend?
By Maya's wry smile, I didn't think so. As much as I wanted to stick around and pry in on this mysterious greeting, the little girl's room was calling name.
