MINE

Chapter 8: Im not good enough for you am i?

Maeve's POV:

I laid back down after catching a breath to be met with Jeremiah stood over me, and Louis to the side. "Are you okay?" Louis said which made me lose eye contact with Jeremiah.

"Yes I'm fine" I said standing up, I looked to Jeremiah and to my surprise he was walking away. I ran over to follow him and by now the sun was starting to set as we all wanted to stay for the evening.

"Jeremiah what's going on with you!" I said grabbing his arm which made him turn to me. "Maeve go back to the group" he said dropping from my grip and carrying on walking.

"Do you regret saving me?" I said with watery eyes while he turned to face me with a look of confusion on his face. "Do I regret saving you? Really Maeve that's what you think of me?!" Jeremiah said like he was losing hope.

"I get it, you don't regret saving me you regret being with me" I said swallowing the tears back. Jeremiah faced me with a face of guilt. "Maeve your not good for me" "not good enough" I said as I brushed past him starting to walk off.

"Maeve!" Jeremiah shouted while running up and grabbing my arm. "Come back to the group" he said turning me around. "Do you want me?" I said to Jeremiah making his face turn guiltful.

There was a long silence before I decided to speak up. "Okay" I said. "Don't see it like that!" He said holding me. "How else am I suppose to see it, I thought we were supposed to be together but you've decided to leave me" I said turning around and walking fast.

I could hear Jeremiah shouting my name but I just wanted to be alone, I just wanted it to stop. It's weird how fast you can feel wanted and it be switched off by one person.

I kept walking until I saw a place that I could leave the beach, I gave one glance back to the group in the distance meaning they couldn't see me and watched how Jeremiah got angry as everyone stood up heading in different directions.

I walked down the street that was connected to the beach. I just kept going, knowing that I would probably be found as I mean their the mafia but I didn't care I just kept walking, wanting to get away.

I saw an alley way so I walked down their and sat on the floor finally letting my emotions over come me, tears pooled out of my eyes as I sat in silence but could hear calls of my name further away.

I tilted my head so my eyes were facing the sky while still crying until I saw Louis run round the corner and over to me. "Maeve there you are" Louis said as he got closer noticing the tears streaming down my face as I pushed my face into my knees.

"Maeve it's going to be okay"he said trying to reassure me as I still cried. "You don't know that" I said not wanting to look up to face him. "I know but whatever the problem is we can make it go away" Louis said. I chuckled while crying.

"You can't really get rid of this problem" I said as Louis pulled me to stand. "Listen Jeremiah will-" "No he won't, he never does he just fucks everything up!" I shouted as I hit his chest until he cradled me head into his chest.

"Shh" Louis said as I continuously cried. I felt tried and I think Louis knew that as he picked me up bridal style so I could lay my head on his chest.

I felt tiredness over come me however I soon woke up when I heard Hailey scream my name which jolted me awake. "She's tired" Louis said which made Hailey calm down. I didn't want to see anyone's face as they would know I have been crying so I just kept it into Louis's face until he placed me at the right back of the car where their was enough space for me to lay down.

Everyone got into the car but I still didn't make eye contact with anyone, so I just laid on the seat as we drive home, eventually falling asleep.

Louis's POV:

I knew on the ride back Maeve crying had something to do with Jeremiah which angered me. I saw her as a little sister, I know I've not known her long but it is that.

When we arrived back at the house everyone got out the car and Jeremiah headed to pick Maeve out the car and take her to her room but I stopped him. "I think you've done enough for one day" I said expecting him to shout at me but he just sighed in despair and walked into the house.

I picked Maeve up and carried her sleeping self into the house and up the stairs. "Can you take me to my room" she said with a sleepy voice. "Sure" I said as I headed for her room.

I placed her down on the bed making sure she was tucked in and kissed for forehead. "Goodnight" I said quietly. "Thanks" Maeve replied. I just smiled and walked out of her room.

As I was walking past one of Jeremiah's offices I heard glass break and a shout which I assume was Jeremiah so I left him to sort it out. Whatever went on between them was their business but I hope he fixes it.

Maeve's POV:

I woke up feeling worse than the day before. I think I was falling for Jeremiah and he just went and basically said he didn't want or like me.

I don't know how this happened, one minute we were bathing together and kissing and the next he's shutting me out.

I laid in bed letting a few tears escape, as Hailey walked in.

"Morning" she said in a caring manor however I didn't turn to face her I just stayed laying down. "I brought you some breakfast" Hailey said placing the toast on my night stand and kneeling down to me. "What's wrong?" She said to me.

"I need time" I said making her lol down, I know I'm being horrible but I just want to be alone.

"Are you sure" she said. "Please leave" I said as she stood up and walked out closing the door making me shed another few tears until I just let them go.

I spent the whole day just sat in my room and sitting on my balcony, the day seemed quieter than usual, I just hoped no one knew what happened between me and Jeremiah.

The door opened while I was sat on my balcony, the figure walked towards where I was sat and placed next to me. "Maeve" they said letting me know it was Louis. "Yes" I said not turning around.

"I brought you some dinner" this happened earlier as the maid brought me lunch. "Thanks" I said hoping he would leave soon. Louis sighed "Maeve you need to start talking to us otherwise you'll end up losing the people you love, Hailey came down crying earlier and I have a feeling it's to do with what was said in here" instantly when Louis said this I felt the tears building up however I decided not to let them flow.

There was a long silence as I think Louis expected me to reply but I didn't. He put the tray down and walked out without saying goodbye which is ridiculous I know but it hurt a little.

The same thing happened for the next week however it was only maids bringing breakfast, lunch and dinner in which meant I didn't end up speaking to anyone, to be honest I didn't mind though as it gave me time to be alone.

I remember Hailey saying about the trip away with everyone which was on Friday and it was now Tuesday. When I was in my room I wasn't really a problem as I was out of the way but if I stay home from this trip then that means the people who have been looking forward to it will have to stay home, which i didn't want.

I didn't want to be the crying girl that always had some problem so over the time of being in my room alone I decided I was going to be different colder.

I do want to be friends with Hailey and Louis but I've hurt them which would mean I would have to apologise and everything but I just want to block myself out from everyone else without being physically away. But I didn't want that to last just for now, until I can figure it out.

It still hurts when I think about him, I may seem dramatic but that's just my nature. Anyway it wouldn't seem like that to them anyway. I was going bad.
