Maya's Promise

Chapter 4

It's been two weeks since the bank robbery and I have been pretending to be okay by going to school and acting as normal as possible I even got a new object.
John has been in a coma since the tragic event. I visit him every other day with his twin brother Jonathan. Yes john has a twin brother, it surprised me too. Jonathan and I have gotten close, he's nice , funny and the complete opposite of his brother. After that day I began going to a therapist to work out my 'problems'. The therapist I should have been going to from the day my mother died. Today is August 30th and my day is jam packed. I have school then a therapy session then I'm meeting up with Jonathan then I have a 'date' with object number two, James.
My thoughts were broken by my dad knocking on my door.
"Maya!! Jonathan is here"
Since me and Jonathan started hanging out he has been carrying me to school , oh I forgot to mention he goes there too but we don't have any classes together.
I say my goodbyes to my dad and went into Jonathan's black Honda civic.
"Hey Maya, ready for school?" He asked
"Nope but I'm going anyways" he smirked then started the car and we were then on our way.
When we arrived at school I went to find Ashley and Patrick, the three of us had a free period.
"Hey Maya" Patrick said.
"Hey Patrick, where's Ashley?" this is the first time I have seen Patrick and Ashley apart since they started dating or whatever they call it other than when they have classes.
"She's sick so she won't be coming to school."
"Oh, so we have a free period what do you want to do?" He then thinks about it then gives me this look like he has an idea,
"What?" I asked,
"Well we haven't hung out just two of us in a while so I was thinking we would take a break from school today"
"You mean skip it?"
"Yeah, come on just one day" he said while giving me his best puppy dog face,
"Sure, but let me call Jonathan and tell him " Jonathan was suppose to drop me home but since I'm going to be out all day I can tell him never mind . Patrick then gave me a look of disapproval.

" I don't like that dude he seems kinda sketchy"

" That's because you don't know him" I said defending Jonathan
" Ok but either way you can text him later, we're leaving now" I nod my head and follow him. We head to his car and go to my favorite gaming lounge call Teresa's Place. We played a few games and before we knew it was lunch time and we were officially skipping school so we went to get lunch from Taco Bell.
" So Maya how has it been since the bank thing?" it had been two weeks since the hostage situation and its the first time patrick has asked about it right as im starting to forget.
"Why do you ask that now?" I asked.
"It's just that I don't see you talking to anyone else about it and I know how it feels to feel like you have no one to talk to " Patrick was a chill guy most of the time but he wasn't always like that. When he was younger he was being molested by his babysitter for years before his parents who didn't give a crap about him found out. He was put into foster care because the courts deemed his parents to be "unfit". We actually met at a therapy session for damaged kids but I stopped going because I told myself I could handle everything on my own. But Patrick and I stayed in touch and have been close ever since.
" To tell the truth I don't know how I feel. I don't think it has made a major impact on my life, i'm just trying to forget it" he then took my hand and said
" That's good" after a couple of silent seconds I then removed my hand because it started feeling weird. After I did that it got awkward for a while until he asked another question,
"How's John doing?"
"He's still not responding, but Jonathan and i have been visiting him often " I said.
"Don't you think its weird that he drops you to school every morning and carries you home?" Said patrick.
"No, he is just being nice since we go to the same school and he lives close "
Patrick then gave me a look that I couldn't read, until he spoke,
"But he doesn't"
"Yes he does, I've been to his house before"
"No Maya, he doesn't go to our school" he then began to look worried
" Yes we just don't have any classes together"
"Maya think about it, every lunch time you guys go somewhere off campus and have you ever seen him enter a classroom?" I then started thinking about the possibility that he might have been lying to me all this time, but why would he, I really don't get it.
"Why would he lie about something like that?"
" I don't know but you should stay away from him"
"Maybe there's a reasonable explanation for him lying to me "

"Maybe, or he could be a serial killer or a nut job or maybe if your lucky he could have just escaped from a mental institution" he was exaggerating, Jonathan doesn't seem like any of those stuff.
"Can you take me somewhere?" I asked.
"Where?" I know he isn't going to like what I was going say but I said it anyways,
" I'm going to Jonathan's parents house so I can hear it from him"
"Maya you have no idea who this kid is, you can't trust him!" Patrick is so overprotective, but I know it's because he cares about me but for the past two weeks the only person I really talked to about anything was Jonathan, he was there for me and he listened to me and even though I had just met him I have never been that close to someone in awhile.
I looked up and saw the worried expression on Patrick's face so I walked toward him and took his hands into mine,
"Please" and with that one word he paid the bill and were on our way.
The car ride was silent for we both were anticipating what would happen when I go to Jonathan's house. An hour later we arrived at the house and I went and knocked the door and Patrick decided to stay in the car. The door was opened by i assumed was John and Jonathon's mother. Although I have been here before I have never met his parents,
"Good afternoon Mrs. Williams"

"Good afternoon"

"I was wondering if Johnathon is home" She seemed taken back by that question.

"Excuse me? How do you know my son?"
" He's a friend, we met when I was visiting John" she seemed surprised, very surprised.
"My son is suppose to be in a mental facility, I'm sorry but if it is truly my son you have met then you should stay away and if you see him again call the police and run " she looked so worried, but not just for me but also for herself, I stood in shock as she closed the door. I then go to the car and Patrick drove off, a few minutes later I felt the tears falling from my eyes, I tried to conceal them but it seemed impossible. When Patrick realized he stopped at the side of road.
"Whats wrong?" He asked
" You were right, he is crazy"

" So why are you crying? You didn't even know him for that long"

"Since you and Ashley started dating I've had no one to talk to. When Jonathon came around he listened to me, he helped me to get rid of all that I have been holding inside" the words I said caused more tears to come to my eyes. Patrick then wrapped his arm around me and whispered in my ear saying, "I'll be here for you, just let me be" he then lifts my head and wipes the tears from my eyes and then he said softly "I will always be there for you" our eyes met and then his lips were pressed against mine and our lips move in perfect harmony until Ashley comes to my mind and I break the kiss.
" I can't do this to Ashley and neither can you"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yassss!! So Jonathon's crazy and Patrick and Maya kissed.
Tell me what you think should happen next.
