I rushed to put back on my clothes before I left Michaels house. He was dash asleep as I checked the mirror in the bathroom before I left. I noticed I had a hicky, I couldn't go home like this. I called Mark although it was 6:03 in the morning hopefully he was awake or would wake up.

*phone picks up*

"H-hello?" Mark said in a tired tone

"Mark?! Hey can you please pick me up at the corner of Woodside I'm at Michaels house and I don't have a ride back home"

"Yea I'm on my way"

"Oh my gosh thank you"

"No problem"

Phone hangs up

"Shit my phone died" I squealed

It was dark out and I was in an unfamiliar neighborhood hopefully Mark gets here soon.

30 minutes later

I saw Mark's car by the corner street. I waved my hands so he would see me and stop. He did. I got into the car thanking him for picking me and begged him to tell my parents I stayed over his house.

"What were you doing over Michaels, Maya?"

"Nothing Mark"

"Really? That hicky says other wise"

"Fuck..."

"I'll tell your parents you slept over if they ask but how would I cover for the hicky"

Stressfully I said
"I don't know Mark but what if I tell them it was you they would probably never let me talk to you again and I can't risk that even for a lie"

"You can stay over til the hicky goes away and then we'll figure something out "

"Thanks Mark I love you so much thanks"

"Always maya"

Marks pov
Maya had made a mistake sleeping over Michaels last night. She woke me up so early in the morning to come pick her up. She looked a mess. Luckily I love her enough to even come for her and her mistakes. She was gonna sleep over for a while, it wouldn't be the first time so her parents should be okay with it. Afterall, I'm practically their next child. Maya hasn't answered my calls last night but neither of us were in the mood to have another conversation, we were too tired.

Maya's pov

We had reached Mark's place when we went inside I was so tired I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up the next morning in a bed somewhere in marks house. He made me feel safe.

"Good morning Maya, sleep well?" he asked smiling while standing at the door.

"Ha ha Mark" I said in a mocking tone

He walked over to me kissed my forehead and asked if I wanted anything to eat.

"Sure" I said barley able to open my eyes.

He left the room to go make breakfast but befoe I knew it I feel back asleep.

2 weeks later

I went to school with mark as usual routne nothing new has happend in the past few weeks except I havent talked to michael since that night. Mark thinks it was all a setup since he hasnt called or texted me in a while. I call it bullshit. I tried to talk to him but wouldnt pick up or reply. Maybe Mark was right...what if he played me this whole time.

I didnt even atempt to talk to him, i thought that if he wanted to talk to me he would have already.
But it seemed like he wasnt ever going to. I was scared. The bell rang and I saw Michael in the hallway so I decided to go up to him and ask why he hasnt talked to me sinced that night. He was with a group of his friends but I didnt mind. I started to approach him and I saw one of his friends whisper in his ear while he looked at me.

"Hey Michael"

"Its her again" I heard him mumble to someone

"What?" I asked slightly surprised
Why was he acting like a fuckboy

"What do you want Maya" he said annoyed

"Whats with the fucking attitude. You fucked me and havent called me since and you expect me not to say shit?!"

He stayed silent

"Hello? Are you gonna fucking give me an explanation Micheal?!"

"It didnt mean anything get over it. I havent talked to you because I dont care about you Maya" he spitted at me

I felt something brake inside of me. I was silent for a few seconds. I couldnt believe what he was saying to me it had left me in shock.

"B-but you s-said you loved me and you missed me" I said as if I was about to cry

"Dont act like you've never been lied to"

"You know what Michael? Fuck you and your bullshit" I said storming off

After school

I didnt bother to wait for Mark like usual. I felt awful after the whole insident with Michael earlier. I put my headphones in and started to walk home. How could I be so stupid.

When I got home I threw my stuff down on the floor and rushed to my room. The flashbacks kept coming back to me his voice saying 'I love you' and my eyes started to water. I bashed my head into the pillow as tears started to run down my face. I felt scared and hurt. I couldnt control myself. I felt like just throwing everything everywhere. I was so damaged I couldnt even feel my heart anymore. My parents heard the noise and decided to come to my room asking whats wrong. I told them I just want to be alone as my eyes looked cold. They accepted my wish but a while later my mom had brought me some tea. I just sat at the corner of my bed. My phone was on silent I didnt want to see any messages or calls.

There was a knock on my door.

"Maya open the door its me" Mark said

I didnt budge to get the door.

"Maya!" he kept screaming.

"Go away Mark!" I shouted

"I wont leave til you let me see you"

I didnt feel like talking anymore or even arguing with him. I just unlocked the door for him to open it himself. He opened the door seeing me not even crying but just sitting there with a blank stare at the wall.

"Whats wrong Maya you haven't replied to any of my calls or messages did something happen talk to me" he insisted.

I didnt reply. I just sat there, it was as if I couldnt even hear him anymore. I felt dead, like I had nothing to live for. I was so hurt, so damaged I couldnt even move. Mark came over to me knowing I wouldnt answer him he just sat next to me and hugged me. I felt like a statue.
