Games gone wrong

"maybe we can have a private game of truth or dare later".

"How about we start off with never have I ever as a warm-up to get the drinks down us" Ryan suggested. Everyone nodded their heads and got their drinks ready.

"Okay, never have I ever had sex in a public place" Vic said. Carina and Maya both took a sip of their drinks and gave each other a look.

"I don't even want to know" Andy said laughing.

"Never have I ever faked an orgasm" Theo asked. All of the girls took a sip except Carina, who looked at Maya raising her eyebrows. "It better not of been with me". "Definitely not gorgeous" Maya replied, pecking Carina's lips.

"Never have I ever hooked up with two or more people on one night" Dean asked. Jack, Theo and Maya all took a sip, Maya a little reluctant to, but wanted to play fair. She noticed a little change in Carina, and she had a pretty good idea why. Maya hooked up with two different people one night at a congratulations party that was thrown for her when her career was taking off. She was on top of the world that night, and it was just the way it was. It's not an excuse to do something like that because she is famous, but it wasn't that big of a deal.

"Never have I ever had sex with someone, having previously slept with their relative" Jack asked. Theo sipped his beer, "I'm sorry guys" he laughed. "Come on Bishop, drink up" Jack encouraged. Maya just sat there and could feel Carina now glaring at her. "Ah shit yeah I remember, the two sisters!" Vic laughed. Everyone was moderately drunk by now and were not particularly thinking about what they were saying. "Yes! How could I forget" Andy laughed, "and if I remember correctly, you had a favourite, no?". Jack piped up, "yeah but she also said Amelia was much better than both of them".

By now Maya was silent, not sure what to say. "Come on guys cut it out" Amelia said, trying to stop this going any further. Carina shifted away from Maya a little before excusing herself to go to the bathroom.

"What the actual fuck guys? Why would you say all of that? You've just painted the completely wrong picture of me to her. Yes, I was reckless then but it's not like that now. She's going to think I'm fucking other people as well as her" Maya silently shouted before storming out to find Carina.

Carina wasn't in the downstairs bathroom, so Maya went up to check in their bedroom. She found Carina packing up her stuff.

"Hey, hey what are you doing?" Maya asked. "I'm leaving Maya. I can't be part of this. I can't be part of your popstar life that you lead. Working with so many people like that created a perception of you all, and I thought you were different. But unfortunately, you're not. So, I am going to go, and get out of your space, so you can go back to fucking multiple people in a night. To be fair for all I know you've been doing that anyway. I guess I should go and get myself tested, no?" Carina ranted.

"No baby listen" Maya tried to grab Carina's hand, but she stepped away.

"Don't call me that, I'm not your baby. And I very much doubt that it'll take you long to replace me. I don't want to be second guessing about what you're doing and who you're doing when you're not with me. It's a shame my brother isn't single, I am sorry to disappoint you".

Maya sat on the end of the bed and began to sob. Carina was angry yes but seeing this really pulled on her heartstrings. She tried to remain composed and walked towards the door, but as she reached for the handle, she heard Maya speak up quietly, "Carina, please let me explain" she said through sobs, "if you still want to leave after that, that is ok".

Carina sat down next to Maya, but not too close.

Maya began to speak, "everything they said out there is true. It is not something I am proud of, and there is no excuse for it. It all happened when I became more successful in my career, I had moved to LA and it was all getting to my head and I made some bad decisions. Awful decisions. As time went on, I realised that wasn't me. I wasn't doing it on a regular basis. I slept with two different guys at a party that my management threw for me as a congratulations gesture. And the sisters, well they always came to the club events I was at. But apart from that, I never did anything like that. I am certainly not seeing anyone else right now, I don't want to see anyone else"
