Maeve heard a loud knock on the door.
She opened the door to see Luke.
"What the hell do you want?" Maeve asked.
"Just wanted to stop by and see how you were. How's your little boyfriend?" Luke asked.
"What boyfriend?" Maeve furrowed her eyebrows.
"The one you were macking on at the party a few weeks ago." Luke said.
"He's not my boyfriend." Maeve shook her head.
"So that was all just for show? To get back at me?" Luke asked.
"No. It's cause i wanted to kiss him." Maeve said.
"Mhm. right. So you two aren't together?" Luke asked.
"No. Not yet." Maeve said.
"Not yet? So you like him?" Luke asked.
"You know what, it's non of your business. Your a fucking asshole." Maeve pushed him.
"I just thought before you made it official that you should see this." Luke took out his phone, showing Maeve the photo.
"Guess he's not who you thought he was."
It was a photo of Chris and another girl, kissing.
"Who is that?" Maeve asked, taking the phone.
"That's Ally Crozier. She's new and looks like she struck the interest of your darling Chris." Luke smirked.
"Well it's a good thing me and Chris aren't even official. Have a nice day, Luke." Maeve handed the phone back, slamming the door in Luke's face.
Later that day, Chris knocked on the door.
Maeve answered.
"Hey Maeve!" Chris smiled.
"Do you know Ally Crozier?" Maeve asked.
"Yeah, she's new, right? I've seen her around." Chris shrugged.
"Oh it seemed like you've done much more than just see her around." Maeve laughed.
"What?" Chris furrowed his eye brows.
"The picture, Chris!" Maeve shouted.
"What picture?" Chris asked.
"The picture of you and her. You were kissing her!" Maeve said.
"No that- that never happened. I've never talked to her before." Chris shook his head.
"I saw the photo Chris! You don't have to lie!" Maeve said.
"What photo, Maeve? I don't understand." Chris looked hurt that Maeve didn't believe him.
"You guys were kissing. You and her! Her as in someone that's not me!" Maeve shouted.
"I don't know why i even care so much. It's not like we're together." Maeve shook her head.
"Maeve, you gotta believe me. I didn't kiss anyone." Chris pleaded.
"I don't believe you, Chris. I thought you liked me." Maeve looked down at her feet.
"I do like you, Maeve! I'm in love with you!" Chris shouted.
Maeve felt tears fill her eyes.
"I need time, Chris." Maeve looked up at him. Her heart broke into a million pieces seeing how hurt he looked.
"Ok. Whatever you need but just know that i never kissed anyone. I like you. And only you." Chris sighed, opening the door and walking out.
Maeve wiped her tears quickly. She started to second guess herself. Maybe Chris was telling the truth.
"I just don't know who to believe." Maeve cried. She had her head in Hanna's lap as Rory braided Maeve's hair.
"Well, Chris is a really nice guy and he does like you a lot. I don't think he would do that." Hanna said.
"Yeah, plus, your really gonna believe a cheater over the boy that's been there for you through a really hard time?" Rory said.
"I don't know. There's a photo." Maeve stood up.
"I think you should go and talk it out with Chris." Hanna said.
"Yeah, me too. You guys are meant to be!" Rory agreed.
"I just need time to think. Not just about this whole situation, me and Chris have just been moving so fast. I need to find out if i truly wanna be with him." Maeve said.
"Yeah. I understand babes." Hanna nodded.
"It's ok to be scared. Especially how your last relationship went and i'm sure Chris will understand." Rory said.
"Now stop moping around. Let's go do something fun!" Hanna said, wiping Maeve's tears.
"Like what?" Maeve asked.
"We can watch a movie!" Rory suggested.
"I was thinking more sneaking out and crashing a party!" Hanna said.
"Oh i'm so in." Rory nodded.
"I don't know..." Maeve said.
"Come on!" Hanna grabbed her hand, pulling Maeve out of bed.
"Whoa!" The three girls said in unison as they walked in.
"This place is popping!" Rory said.
"I think we should just go home and eat ice cream. I'm still heart broken!" Maeve said.
"Come on! Get loose! Think of anything else but Chris for once!" Hanna demanded.
The three girls ran further into the house, getting drinks and then started to talk to random people. They all acted like they were 19 and in college. Hanna even told a girl that she was from England and she fully believed her.
The three spent the night partying and singing along to songs, talking to strangers and Hanna even made out with one.
Maeve was having a ton of fun but she still thought about if Chris were here.
"Here Maevey!" Hanna ran over, handing her yet another drink.
"I'm good." Maeve shook her head.
"Come on!" Hanna said.
"Fine." Maeve grabbed the drink, chugging it down.
"That a girl! I'll get you another one! Whoa! Party on!" Hanna shouted, walking back over to the drink station.
Right next to Maeve, Rory made out with a random college boy. Tonge and all.
"How are we gonna get home?" Hanna slurred. The three drunk girls sat on the side of the street as Rory pulled out her phone.
"I'll call Matt." She said, dialing his number.
Later, Matt's minivan pulled over and the three sturniolo boys got out of the car.
"Are you guys drunk?" Matt asked.
"No shit, Dummy!" Hanna laughed.
"She's loaded." Chris spoke.
"I'll get Rory. Nick get Hanna. Chris get Maeve." Matt instructed.
"Since when we're you in charge?" Nick asked.
"Since i got woken up in the middle of the night but this girl." Matt said.
Chris grabbed Maeve's hands and pulled her up, picking her up bridal style.
"You know, Chris. Your such a dick." Maeve said, resting her head on his chest.
"Yeah. Sure." Chris nodded.
Chris walked into Maeve's home, still carrying the girl all the way up to her room.
He laid her down on the bed and was about to leave when she grabbed his arm.
"Stay. Please." Maeve spoke.
Chris sighed. He knew he couldn't resist her. He slipped off his Birkenstocks and crawled next to her.
"I still don't believe you and i need time to figure it out. But i still like you even tho i don't want to." Maeve turned to him.
"I accept it." Chris spoke softly, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"You make it so hard to hate you."
