They were quiet…

As the maids helped keep their luggages in their closet, they just walked on till they sat beside each other at the bottom of the bed. 

Once the maids were out, the girls still wouldn't talk to one another. Their faces defined a hidden pain so well.

"Could we survive this?"

Ava broke the silence. Her eyes were sore.

"Back where it all started"

April replied , heaving a sigh as she looked around their room.

.." if I'm being honest, it would be hard , but we'll survive"

April added with a forced smile.

Just then, the door opened and Mrs Smith stepped in.

"Just wanted to check in on you two"

She said, walking towards them . Her heels clicked on the tiled floor rhythmically.

The girls looked up to her and she could see just how broken they were. She spread her arms apart as she knelt down to embrace them once she was close enough to the bed .
