Conflicting feelings

{This chapter might be a bit boring and quite illogical....but I just try my best to write things...so sorry in advance 🙏 😞}

(After they had their breakfast)

Aline stands up and takes their plates to the sink to wash them.... Maya stands up almost instinctively....." I can do the dishes"....she says in a hurry almost forgetting that she is at Aline's house not her own where she is treated like a maid...no worse than a maid. Aline shakes her head...."u don't need to ok....you're my friend not a maid"....feels anger towards Maya's parents for treating their own daughter like shit.

" Friends...?" the concept of being friends seemed foreign to Maya....no one has ever insisted on being her friend let alone acknowledge her unless they wanted something.

"Of course we are friends now....so... let's treat each other like friends ok ...not strangers" says with a soft smile. Maya smiled back.... "right....we are friends... it' just i have never had....real friends and-"... Aline says in a gentle tone...."hush now... let's not bring the past memories between us forget about them for now"

Maya felt reluctant cause a part of her still wishes her family well...."u know they used to be kind to me...years ago.... I was like their everything" Maya stares at the floor..... I see...."let me tell u something Maya".... Aline grabs a knife from the kitchen counter and points it at Maya..... Maya's eyes widened with shock...."hey, hey w-what are u-".... Aline says in cold voice..." Tell me Maya just because I treated u nicely in the past doesn't mean I can't hurt u right here right now "..... Maya hesitantly said..."i-i guess u can...".... Aline was trying to teach her to resist to fight back..."you are not supposed to accept it....u have to fight back....will u take my pain just cause u think you're weak" "U let your parents and classmates walk all over u…...tell me what makes u think u deserve to be treated so horribly".... Aline walks towards Maya with the knife firmly held in the hands...." I-i i don't know.... I guess I am just not doing enough".... Maya backs away in fear and conflicting emotions in her heart..... Aline pins Maya to the wall gently as to not hurt her for real...." Maya you're a strong and kind-hearted girl u deserve love and care....but u have to be a bit stone hearted at times.... especially if someone is trying to hurt u physically or mentally"

Maya stares at Aline... contemplating her words.... She thinks to herself....(even tho Aline is not great at making people understand things she is still trying her hardest to make me understand)....." Aline-".... Aline lowers the knife and turns around...." Maya I know I am not the best at these kinds of things....but.... I hope u understand that I care for u....and I hate to see people treat u do badly....last night when I was changing u.... I saw it I saw all the bruises all the marks of abuse....".... Maya stares at seemingly nothing and feels these thud at her heart....this girl...."how can an angel like her exist....?" She questioned herself.

"I-i am sorry....I just....-" .... Maya didn't know what to say.... They both say there in silence....not being able to handle everything at once said...." I think I need some time to process everything.... I am sorry"...walks to the front door...." I will try to keep your words on my mind"... Aline said in a low voice almost like a whisper....."Oh, Maya..."

Maya walks out of the house her chest feels heavy, Aline's words and her love for the family that once cherish...was crushing her, she didn't know what to do and Headed to her house.

Meanwhile, Aline just stood sat on the couch in her living room murmuring to herself...."no pls god.... I can't lose her....not again...."
