Today's the day she's been waiting for all week. the day where Stiles promised to take her out on a date since for the past few months, both of them were very busy with the classes and all the 'supernatural' things that's been happening.
Right after finishing her economic class with coach, Mae basically ran to her house to get ready.
"you're home early." said her sister, Jane. "well, stiles promised to take me out on a date tonight. he'll pick me up at 6." Mae's giddy reaction makes her sister happy.
For the past few months Jane noticed that Mae's behaviour has changed. She didn't smile often as before. And one thing that Jane also noticed, that her little sister changed since she and that Stilinski boy get together. But alas, it feels good to see her little sister smiling ear to ear again.
Mae wears her favourite green floral blouse and pairs it with off white pants and. She style her hair in a half braid french braid and curl the ends to make it more presentable.
Now, the clock shows 5:57 p.m. and there is still no signs of Stiles. Mae sits on the couch fidgeting with the hem of her blouse, scared that Stiles would stood her up after promising to take her out that night.
6:10 p.m. still no Stiles.
6:46 p.m. nope.
7:24 p.m. not yet.
8:56 p.m.
looking at the clock, Mae finally gets up and changes into her pajamas and watched a movie by herself. since Jane went out to her friends, it's just her and the tv. eventually, she falls asleep on the couch with he tv playing in the background.
The next day, she goes to school feeling enraged. She feels like if she sees Stiles' face she would slap the shit out of him.
She gets to school, goes to her locker and hopes that she doesn't have to look at Stiles' stupid face.
But, right before the bell rings, Mae could see Stiles skipping happily towards her. Afraid that she would actually slap him, she starts to walk away, saving him from the pain he would receive.
Stiles feeling confused, chases after his somehow angry girlfriend. "Mae, wait! What's wrong?" he asks. "What's wrong is your face." Mae whisper to him. "what? What's wrong with my face?" "go away stilinski." The mention of his last name shock him. he grabs her arm lightly and turn her to face him. "hey.. what's up with you maisy? what's with the cold shoulder?"
"God, i can't believe you sometimes! " she yell, her face red from anger, teeth seething with rage. all she could think now is to punch his sorry little face until he pass out. Before things get heated, Stiles pulls her to the locker room.
after making sure that the locker room is empty, he pulls her in and make sure that the doors are locked. "explain. what's wrong?"
"what's wrong is you stood me up! again!! I'm your girlfriend Stiles! Why would you treat me like I'm not?!" her hand pushes stiles making him stumble on his feet.
"Look, Mae. I'm sorry, okay? I like you. but to be honest, I'm not ready for a serious relationship yet." he tries to persuade his angry girlfriend.
"you should've said that before!" Mae throws her hands in the air, shows that she is very frustrated. "you shouldn't have agreed to be with me if you know that you're not ready for a relationship! all you do is ignore my needs! you don't even answer my calls most of the time! and to begin with I don't even call you that often! when we pass each other on the hallway, you won't even greet me sometimes! it's like I'm invisible!" Mae let out a huff and brought her hand to her face trying to calm herself.
"I'm a girl, stiles." her voice softened as she continued her sentence. "i want attention. i need attention from my boyfriend." emphasising on the word 'need' to tell her boyfriend what she wants all this time. her eyes now stings from the tears that is flowing down her face like river.
seeing his first ever girlfriend crying like this, it makes Stiles feel guilty. "i know, im such a bad boyfriend. I'm sorry Maisy." he slowly walks towards Mae and reaching out for her hand. Her hands tremble from the rage boiling inside her.
After a few minutes of painful silence, Mae speak up, throwing her word like tiny swords into Stiles' heart. "i dont think this could work out. I've tried my best for the past 5 months to fix this relationship. i just couldn't continue anymore." she slowly let go of his hand making him jolt his head up to look her in the eyes just to make sure she's serious.
He searches her eyes for any signs of lie. but, he couldn't. "Mae, I-" his words were cut off by Mae, "maybe it's not the right time yet. you said it yourself, that you're not ready. so, let's just pray that maybe we would cross path again? maybe by that time, both of us will be prepared." a single tear roll down her delicate cheek again.
"Mae, im sorry. im sorry for the way i treated you for the past 5 months we're together." Stiles reach out to her face and wipe away the stray tears on the cheek. "i li..." Stiles hesitates to say those 3 words out loud. after all the things he did to her?
"it's fine. i am sorry too if i did anything to hurt you or make you uncomfortable." her gaze stays on the ground as she start to walk away from her now ex-boyfriend.
"i'll miss you. see you next time Mae." Stiles whisper, but loud enough for her to hear.
She continues to walk while wiping away her flowing tears.
