Maeve awoke with a jolt, sitting up straight feeling her head pound, and dizziness overcome her body.
"Can't fall asleep," Maeve mumbles getting off her bed and running towards her jacket and shoes.
Maeve distinctly remembers waking up and feeling a presence in her room and that's when it all comes back, a familiar face came into view before he had shoved a cloth over her mouth and whispered something she didn't hear.
With her shoes on, she rushes outside, scanning through her memories to try to remember where the big fight between Toman and Valhalla was going to go down.
Maeve stops in front of an abandoned place, ready to continue her search until she looks closer and sees Kazutora almost behind Baji, Chifuyu, and Takemichi in front of him, Mikey on the floor of a bunch of cars with a random person, and even worse Kisaki all on top of a mountain of cars.
"Kazutora!" Maeve yells when she sees a glint of metal in his hand pointed towards Baji and just her luck Kazutora turns around giving Baji enough time to turn around and see what his 'friend' was about to do.
Chifuyu had told her about his suspicions of Kisaki when they were hanging out which made her make a beeline to the asshole.
Maeve had never been so thankful for her friends who made her run all the time otherwise who knew how tired she would have been running up a mountain of cars.
"Kisaki you bitch!"
Before said person (rat) could react she had already raised her fist and punched him in the face.
Maeve smiles in satisfaction hearing a crack and then seeing the boy fall and tumble down the cars.
Maeve smirked and looked down at the other person who was unconscious next to Mikey and kicked him not so slightly to see if he was dead.
"Maeve!"
She hears somebody yell before she feels a knife fly at her and knick her cheek.
It was Baji who yelled and that split moment of distraction gave a random Valhalla member enough time to shove the knife in Kazutora's hand into Baji's stomach.
"Baji!"
Maeve had no idea who yelled, too distracted by her phone in her hand that was currently ringing.
"What's your emergency?" She hears a voice through her phone.
"My friend, he got stabbed," she whispers, looking down at where Baji staggered to the bottom of the hill.
Maeve nods her head at whatever the person was saying on the other side of the phone before hanging up and running down.
"Kazutora!" Mikey yells getting up and running towards the two-colored hair boy who was busy staring down at his bloodied hand, his whole body shaking.
Maeve groans grabbing Kazutora by his clean hand and pulling him behind her.
"Chifuyu, Michi keep Baji awake, Kenny make sure nobody touches Baji, Manjiro sit the fuck down and chill, and Kazutora take a chill pill," Maeve yells half hugging the shaking boy while looking for the ambulance which should be there in a couple of minutes due to its close proximity.
Just as Mikey is about to charge again she hears sirens, sees flashing lights, and then finally the ambulance.
Before the car can even park she sees people jump out and rush towards Baji, the rest being a blur.
***
The knife luckily hadn't gone too deep so after a couple of days Baji had been released from the hospital, the boy was currently in her car on their way to the Baji household.
"Maeve," Baji whispers, the first time initiating a conversation since he had beaten up Chifuyu.
"Maeve I'm sorry," Baji says getting out of the parked car and walking towards her.
"Whatever for Baji?" Maeve asks sarcastically, glancing up to the building.
"Everything," Baji says unsurely, glancing at Maeve who was texting on her phone, probably his mom, telling her that he had been picked up from the hospital and was now on the way home.
"Oh do you mean drugging me, hitting me, or lying to me- or is that not it, should I continue?" Maeve asks sarcastically her anger rising by the second, not even seeing the boy flinch calmed her down.
Baji opens his mouth to speak again but she shuts him up before he could say a thing, "Whatever Baji just go inside and please just please leave me alone for today at least and maybe tomorrow to oh and tell the rest of Toman to stay away from my house," Maeve whispers shutting her car door and driving away seeing the boy grab his phone and type away before walking into the apartment complex.
Maeve massages her temple with one hand wanting to go home and lay in bed for the rest of the day, she didn't understand how she freshly turned twenty-two but she already felt fifty with hundreds of kids and grandkids. Don't get her wrong she loved the hell out of the Toman members but sometimes she wanted to smack some sense into them.
"Fuck you Shinichiro, why would you make a gang," Maeve says to herself rolling her eyes at her friend's stupidity but she couldn't be too mad, after all, if Shinichiro wouldn't have made the gang she wouldn't have met any of her friends, "are we really friends anymore though?" her conscious asks and her conscious had a point, after all, they all left and never told her where they were, after Shinichiro's death she hadn't seen any of them. If her friends hadn't left without her who knows she might not have stayed with Mikey and befriended all his gremlin friends.
Maeve parks her car choosing to ignore the what if's and instead locks her car and unlocks the door to her house, twisting the knob, throwing her keys on the counter, and dropping herself on her couch, too lazy to climb the stairs up to her room and change. Instead choosing to peel off her glasses and leave them on the floor next to her phone, not even bothering to take off her shoes before she curls into herself and lets her eyes drift close.
