Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault.

-Maya-

I walk into my class and sit next to Quinn and Daniel. "Hi stranger." Daniel says. "I'm sorry guys things have just been crazy." "Oh we saw." Quinn says in an annoyed voice. "What are you talking about?" Quinn takes out her phone and opens a news article.

Noah's limo explosion is the on top story. "It would've been nice to know you're still alive." Quinn says to me. "It was a long night." Daniel sends me a glare as Quinn takes her phone away.

The professor starts the lesson as I try to focus on what is being taught. My eyes seem to go places they shouldn't. I can feel Quinn and Daniels eyes piercing through me.

The lights come fully back on as everyone stood from their seats. "Maya, please see me after class." My professor asked. "You want us to save you a seat at lunch?" Daniel asks. "It's okay, I think I'm going to skip the rest of the day. Thanks anyways." Quinn tugs me into a strong hug. "Next time you're close to death, please call me so I know you're alive." "Okay I will."

Quinn and Daniel go off while I pack my last few things. I walk to my professors office. "You wanted to see me Mr. Smith?" I ask. "Yes, take a seat Maya." His hand gestures towards the chair in front of his desk.

"I saw the article." He says. "I think all of New York has." I say back. "Maya, are you sure you want to be associated with someone like Noah Slade?" My professor leans against his desk. "Noah is nothing like the city portrays him."

"Or maybe he wants you to think that." What the fuck is his problem?
"Listen Mr. Smith. I don't mean to be disrespectful but my private life and who I associate myself with is none of your business."

"Maya, you're a one of my prized students. I would hate to see you go down the wrong path." I stood from my chair. "I think I've heard enough." I said.

I walk to Mr. Smiths office door only to be stopped when his hand slams against the door. "Maya Castillo. Daughter of Carlos and Maria Castillo." He mocks my parents names. "How would your parents feel about you being around Mr. Slade?" I turn myself to face him, pushing my back against the door. "Leave my parents out of my choices." I scowl.

Mr. Smith grabs my chin and pushes me closer to the door. "Carlos would have a heart attack if he knew you were with Noah, including Santiago being friends with that snake." I try to fight his grip but he only tightens it the more I move.

"I suggest you think of your choices Ms. Castillo. Noah isn't someone who can help you." Mr. Smith uses his free hand to roam down my chest. "Don't touch me!" I yell. I try to kick him but he moves quicker than me.

His hand latches around my clothed sex. A unusual sound escapes my mouth. With Noah, I have no control what leaves my mouth, but it's always a pleasurable sound. With this bastard, I want to fall into the pits of hell than be here.

"Noah isn't me. I am enough. I can bring you more into this world than he can." Mr. Smith whispers into my ear. I feel a tear roll down my cheek.
I let the darkness close around me, but it's not enough to take me away. It's never enough.

"Leave me alone please." I beg. "Maya, when did we start to beg?" He says against my skin.

I take his hand off my chin and bite on his slimy skin. I quickly push him off and reach for my bag, pulling out the gun Noah gifted me.

"Don't ever come near me again." I say as I cock the gun in front of him. "You don't even know how to use a gun."
"Try me motherfucker. I fucking dare you."

Mr. Smith takes a step towards me and I shoot his knee. I watch as he falls to the ground, covering his wound. "You bitch!" He yells. I pick my bag up from the floor and run out of his office.

When I push the front doors open, I see Noah waiting by his car. I run quickly to him. "Maya, what's wrong?" He caught me as I almost tripped. "I want to leave, now." "What happened?" "Now Noah!" I say as I push past him.

Noah doesn't ask me anymore questions as we sit in his car and drive away from the university. I stare at my window and watch my 8 year old self flash before my eyes. Memories of my mami laying on the floor lifeless while my papi laid beside her made tiny tears escape my eyes.

Noah parks the car in a road I've never seen. "Maya, please talk to me love." Noah softly asks. I turn to face him, and his face drops as he sees my distressed state.
Noah reaches to my seatbelt and takes it off. He grabs my legs and lifts me off my seat, placing me on his lap and leaning my head against his chest.

"What happened?" He softly asks as his fingers run through my hair. "My professor touched me." I cried out. I heard Noah's heartbeat quicken in my ear. I didn't bother looking up, knowing I'll meet his hard gaze.

"Where Maya?" He roughly said. I place my hand above my jeans and I hear Noah take in a deep breath. "I'm gonna kill him." Noah says angrily. I am too. I want Mr. Smith to pay for what he did.

Noah fingers run in my hair as I calm myself down. The sound of Noah's heartbeat brought me ease. I close my eyes as I listen to the sound of his beating heart. The heart that I want to wrap myself around and call it home.
