PAUL' S P.O.V
Maggie hasn't been quite the same since Luna left for America. She wasn't as loud, as excited, or even enthusiastic. She kept to herself, which hurt my little babby heart to see her heartbroken. Some of the other Yogs had noticed it too, that Maggie's little spirit had slowly diminished. And so, after one long day at the office, we all gathered 'round in the common room, well, Hat Film's office.
The meeting consisted of several people. Lewis, Hannah, myself, Kim, Duncan, and even Sparkles* all came to make our plan of action. We all had decided to call it 'Project Mags'. It wasn't that original, but at least it was better than 'The Project', which was Duncan's idea.
"We need to figure out how to bring Maggie back." I stated, looking at everyone seriously. I missed my Maggie. She just seemed like a shell of her former self.
"Any ideas?" Duncan asked, looking around.
There was silence as everyone look at each other, all sharing nervous glances. Someone then spoke up.
"What if..." Kim said, speaking up, "What if we all went on a little vacation to America for a bit?"
"Luna moved to America, so it might just make things worse..." I said, unsure about this idea.
Lewis piped in as well. "Kim's idea might be good. We could plan a visit to the next show of her new-found father and then have them meet up afterwards."
Everyone started listing all the pros and cons of the idea, but then eventually Lewis cut in.
"I say, this is a pretty good idea. The only problem, however, is the cost. We simply can't afford it at the moment." Lewis explains.
One of us suggests a fundraiser on a live stream, much like the Christmas Live-streams. After all, many of our Yognau(gh)ts in America would most likely donate, hopefully. We all agreed on the idea, and we all returned home.
Once I returned home, Maggie was sitting in the living room, writing something in a journal. I shut the door, and at that noise she flinched and quickly hid her journal from my sight. I decide not to mention it, thinking it's nothing.
"Evening Mags, how was your day today?" I ask, walking into the kitchen.
"Okay, I guess..." she replied half-heartedly. This is how she's been since her friend's departure.
"What do ya want for dinner? Hot dogs, pizza, mac n' cheese?" I say, looking through the fridge to see what we had.
"I'm not really that hungry right now....I'll eat later." She's said that for the past week now. I've barely managed to get her to eat.
"You've got to eat something, Mags!" I partially yell, slightly upset. She winces, probably at the tone of my voice, and I immediatly feel guilty. She storms off into her room and I immediatly feel guilty about what I have done. What did I think I was doing?!
The next day, Stephanie had requested Maggie to come over for something, so I dropped Maggie off at Stephanie's and Martyn's place before work.
After a day of 'hard' work
Maggie had been visiting Stephanie and Martyn for the whole day, so I had to go over to their flat to pick her up. As soon as I rang the doorbell, the door had opened and I was pulled inside by a worried-looking Stephanie. Martyn seemed to look troubled as well when I glanced over at him. I gave him an inquiring look, and all he had to say were a few simple words that dropped my heart into my stomach.
"It's Maggie..."
(I am so very sorry for the long wait, and short chapter. I've been really busy and stuff and have been neglecting book I have been involved in, including this one. -SSSsssBOOM)
