Beau's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning after I had apologized to Zaria and I wasn't at home. Some how I ended up at Mavericks, most likely that last place I should be. I got off his couch and looked around the house for him. "Yo mave?" I hollered through the house. "Around the corner my man." He responded. I turned the corner to see maverick getting a few lap dances. "Oh I see you busy. I'll be at Zaria's if you need me." I said rushing to the door. "Alright man see ya around dawg" he remained before carrying on with his girls. I walked to Zaria's and once I got there I knocked on the door. No surprise she opened the door. We exchanged smiles. "Hello beautiful." I chimed walking inside. "Well hello there cutie." She responded happily. It was rare to see her this chipper. "You feeling okay?" I asked. "Yeah actually amazing since your here and Cameron gave me his old camera." She said snapping a picture of me with flash. "Agh!" I said been blinded from the flash. "oOps still have to figure that one out." She said stumbling over the couch and landing directly on top of me. "Oh hey." I said smoothly. "Sorry babe." She said softly kissing me and then getting up. We sat down and she wrapped her legs around me and cuddled into my neck. The most comfortable feeling every, no lie. I rested my head on hers and we talked for a while. Then she mentioned my worst weakness. Weed. "Beau I'm being serious, I'm scared that you might not be here one day because of it. I can't live without you, please beau think about it. Would you rather smoke and get high for a night or be truly happy." She begged. She had a really good point. I agreed to quite smoking if she stopped cutting. We made our deal and I flushed her blades and she smashed my bong. We are a team. We do things as a team. Even if it means sacrificing things that kept our memories close. I know self harm would be way more difficult then my challenge. She had so many terrifying life problems. She resulted in almost bleeding out but I was so glad she agreed to our deal. It was almost around sesh time and I had to leave but it was my last smoke but I wasn't going to tell Zaria because I didn't want to hurt her. "I got to go baby, my brother asked me to help him with some chores." I lied and with guilt on my back I let it happen. She believed it. "Sounds fun, well I'll see you around g." She jumped off the couch and jumped into my arms and kissed me goodbye. Although I made it into a mini makeout session oOps(;. I left and headed for Mavericks. Emerson was sick and Zachary was with his girlfriend for the night, which I should have done. Maverick and I got high and he had the 'bright' idea to drive while we were ripped. He backed out of the driveway and headed to the highway. Maverick speed up and I got a little nervous. "man slow your shit down!" I demanded. He didn't stop. Next thing I know big bright truck lights and then darkness.

Zaria's P.O.V

I started flipping through channels after beau left I saw the news. Cameron asked me to keep it on so I did. Then "breaking news" came on and the flashbacks began. But this time the breaking news was not just bone breaking ️but heart breaking. "Breaking news, two extremely either high or intoxicated make teenagers have been in a deadly car accident. The two young boys are "maverick trakyard" and "beau milvard" beau seems to be stable and alive but maverick has not been responding to any tests more information will be provided later on." And it cut back to the news. I rushed to get my coat and I slipped my shows on. I put my hair in a ponytail and I rushed out the door. Cameron wasn't far behind me. Cameron liked beau unlike chad he was close with cam. We drove straight to the hospital. I ran to beau's room. "BEAU!" I screamed running to him and making sure he was okay. "I'm so sorry, Zaria." He said right away tearing up again. "Nonono it's okay it's okay." I said in a hushed tone to keep him calm. "This was my last time, I didn't mean for this to happen. I'm so sorry. I can't lose you!" He screamed. "Baby it's okay. I forgive you I understand I just want to make sure your okay." I replied running my fingers through his hair. He closed his eyes and fell asleep not long after that. I rushed to Mavericks room. "Mave?!" I exclaimed walking into his hospital room. He was awake. He had no broken bones. He wasn't responding to their tests. I panicked and looked for his doctor. His doctor was treating him and I saw him pull the covers over his face. That was the last time I saw maverick alive. I dropped to the ground. Not even one tear could fall to my cheeks. I was in complete shock. I couldn't stay in that room. I walked back to beau's room silently. Beau was awake again. "How's my homie?" He asked. I was silent for a while and I sat down beside him and I looked at him. "I'm so sorry beau." I said softly. He looked at me worried. "Why, what's to be sorry for? He's fine right? He's fine." He panicked. "He's, he's gone." I whispered resting my head on his chest hiding my tears. He teared up and balled up his fists. "GET THE FUCK OFF ME! HE IS ALIVE DONT LIE TO ME!" He screamed jumping from his bed and running down the hall to see maverick. I sat in silence. I couldn't process any of this. Maverick was gone, beau was pissed off, and frankly I didn't have a clue on what to do. I walked out of beau's room and sat on the floor outside of Mavericks room. I sat in silence just crying. No noise and just tears. I thought about everything. Chad, cheating, Emerson, cameron, beau. Thoughts raced through my mind. I sat in complete silence. Nurses ran into his room and grabbed beau. They brought him back to his room as he kicked and screamed. I watched teary eyed as he was forced into his room. I got up and walked out of the hospital. Thoughts shot through my mind. I got in Cameron's car and with no hesitation shoved the car keys in the key placement to start the car. I wasn't under age but I didn't have a licence. I called cameron before I left. He told me I could leave without him and mom would pick him up. He understood that I needed to get away. I backed up perfectly and drove out of the parking lot. All those years of sitting in the passengers seat can teach you a lot. I finally arrived back at my house. I parked the car and locked it. I unlocked the door and closed it. I ran to the couch and fell into the cushions. I sighed and looked at the ceiling. I finally let my thoughts travel through my head without care. I collected my thoughts after a while and I drove back to the hospital. I sat in the waiting room alone. Cameron was with beau and my mom was on her way. None of them knew I came back. Beau was able to leave and he came around the corner with cameron. Beau stopped and stared at me and his jaw dropped. He saw my tear stained cheeks and one small cut on my wrist. He dropped his jacket and ran to me. He picked me up and held me tight. I held him like he was the last thing I had. He stepped back to search my face for a reason. He realized why. He remembered yelling at me. "I'm a real douche, I'm sorry z." He whispered in my ear. "Accepted. But it's okay. I just worried about you. I know losing maverick is..." I was cut off by doctors running past the three of us. The cover wasn't covering Mavericks face anymore. He was rushed down to the emergency room. We raced over there hand in hand while cameron followed closely behind. "What's going on?" I questioned catching my breath. "He has a pulse." The doctor said attaching a tube to Mavericks arm. And almost an hour later maverick woke up. Beau was crying, well I'll be honest we were all emotional. All that mattered was maverick was alive and once again in good heath. 5 days after the miracle, he was allowed to leave. They all promised to stop their habits of smoking because of what happened. And we all joined in for a huge group hug as a team again. We found our way back and with our dear member maverick.
