Broken Hearted

Chapter 8

Maya's POV

When Riley and I got to the streets of New York, I took out my phone to see what time it was.

6:56

"Riles, what time does the subway leave? I can't remember." I said.

"Uh, I think 7:05." Riley answers slightly looking at me.

"Shit." I said under my breath.

"What was that Maya?" Riley said stopping.

I stop too. "Um, nothing. We have to get going." I said quickly. "We have less than 10 minutes to get to the subway and I don't feel like walking to school."

"Okay. Let's go" Riley said and before I know it we're running past men with brief cases and women with purses to get to the subway on time.

Riley's POV

We're a few minutes away from the subway but I keep thinking why Maya didn't come clean about saying shit in front of me. I think she said shit, I'm not really sure.

..I should really let it go. Maybe she doesn't want me to know that she cusses. I have no idea.. 

Once we finally get to the subway, Maya takes out her phone (to check the time I'm guessing) and I look over her shoulder to look at the time.

7:07

"Where's the subway?" I ask.

"Okay, either we missed the subway or the subway doesn't come at 7:05." Maya said.

I walk to where there's a list that shows what time the subway comes.

"Well maybe the subway we have to get on doesn't come until 7:15." I said pointing at the time on the list.

"What?" Maya said walking over to me.

"I'm sorry! I haven't been on the subway for a while." I say looking down at my black boots.

Maya sighs and lifts my head up. "It's okay sweetie." Maya said with a small smile.

I smile back and walk to a nearby bench. "Hey at least we have a few minutes to talk. We don't talk to each other as much as we used to." I said as my smile fades away.

"Yeah." Maya said as she takes a seat next to me. " We don't talk as much as we used to, do we. "

We sit in silence for what feels like hours. Finally, I speak up and said "Maya, why are we taking the subway."

Maya gives another sigh and said "We never get to talk to each other. I mean we do talk, but not as much as we used to, like you said. I just figured we can talk a little. Get to know what's happening in each other's lives. That's what best friends do. They sit and talk for hours. But we only have a few minutes."

..Get to know what's happening in each other's lives. Oh no. It just hit me. Should I tell Maya that I've cut myself? If I do, will she make me tell my parents? Great, I'm over thinking again..

"Um, nothing important has happened in Riley Town." I said with nervous smile. "Anything important happen in Maya Ville?"

"Just the usual." Maya simply answers.

"Hey Maya?" I said without thinking first.

"Yes?"

..Great there's no going back now..

"Why are you starving yourself?" I ask.
