“That was fast,” I said, as soon as we were out of earshot and making our way back down the hill.

“Yeah, I know, I just wanna go check on things by the food truck,” Ben dismissed it.

I sighed, glancing over at him out of the corner of my eye, starting to get a feeling that Ben tended to avoid his family on a regular basis. I guess Angela had been right.

“Well, thanks for not deserting me over there, I appreciate it.”

Ben gave me a little sideways glance. “You’re welcome,” he said, in all seriousness.

I laughed. “That was a joke. Your family’s awesome. Your sister…your step-mom…she seems really nice, by the way…”

Ben smiled. “She is,” he agreed. “She’s great…she’s my white mother,” he joked, laughing softly.

I smiled at that. “I can’t believe you never told me about her – or your step-sisters either!”

“Really? Why is that?”

“What do you mean, ‘why is that’? I mean, from what Sally was saying they are a big part of your life…” My voice trailed off as I thought of my mother. I thought of how I had to take care of my mother, and how Sally would most likely need to take care of Aliyah her entire life. “I don’t know, I guess I just thought with everything I was going through with my mom that maybe…I don’t know…you would have told me about Aliyah. I mean, it’s not the same thing, but…” I paused and glanced over at Ben.

“Well…” He looked to be thinking as well. “You’re right. Maybe that’s why…because it’s not the same thing. Ali isn’t sick, Ali’s just…she’s just different, that’s all…I mean, she has a job and she lives on her own…she has a transit pass – the girl’s actually got it under control, y’know, she’s pretty independent, so…I guess I didn’t see the comparison.” He thought for a moment. “I worry about you, though.”

I nodded slowly. “I know.”

Ben was quiet for a moment. The music from the mainstage started up again and Morgan Heritage’s ‘Down by the River’ started up to some loud cheers.

“You figure out what you need to talk about once your brother gets here?” Ben asked then, pulling my thoughts from the music.

“That is – if he comes,” I reminded him. “But no, not really.”

Ben sighed. I took a lot of comfort in how much he seemed to care about me. I just wasn’t sure if it would last…if it could ever be enough...

“Well, you gotta figure that shit out, Gabriela,” he said seriously. “‘Cause your place ain’t got no ramp, and you know what the doctors told you, so…”

I nodded again, remembering. With a broken hip, my mother would never walk again. When she finally was released from the hospital, she’d be in a wheelchair on a permanent basis.

“You’re gonna have to move.” Now he was just stating the obvious to me.

“I know, I know…” My mind was racing. “Ben?” I looked at him. “I don’t want to talk about this right now.”

Ben narrowed his eyes at me, watching me, studying me.
