Runaways - sequel to The Project - book 2

21

Lucas's POV:

"OPEN UP!"

I hear a loud bang on the door.

I look at Maya.. She looks about as scared as I was.

"W-who do you think that is..?" She asks.

"I...I dont know."

They bang on the door again.

"OPEN UP, OR ILL KNOCK THIS DOOR DOWN!"

Me and Maya jump off the couch.

"Maya, go to my room and shut the door. Im just gonna see who it is." I say quickly.

"No.. Lucas-"

"Maya I said go." I tell her.

She nods with tears in her eyes and runs to my room.

I walk to the door, once I make sure Maya is in my room.

I open it, only to find the cops at my door.

"Lucas Friar?" The man says.

"Yes. May I help you?"

"You're under arrest for the death of Bradley S. Perry." He states.

Maya's POV:

Lucas tells me to go to his room and I listen to him.

I crack the door open a bit.

I hear "You're under arrest".

I'm stunned.

I throw the door open and run to Lucas.

"NO, YOU CANT HAVE HIM!" I tear up.

Lucas looks at me, with a sad look.

"Maya..."

"Ma'am, I'm going to need you to step aside."

Tears pour down my face, and I sob.

"No no no...you cant...take...Lucas." I'm crying so much that I can barley talk.

"Maya. It'll be okay. Its time for me to go." Lucas starts crying too.

He gives me a tight hug, then the police pull him away from me.

They hand cuff him and push him outside.

"I love you Lucas!" I yell.

"I love you Maya!" He yells back.

The door slams shut and I'm left alone in Lucas's quiet hotel room.

I lay on his couch and sob.
