Who Owns My Heart

Lucas

Frustrated with myself and Maya I storm up to my room. Immediately, I grab my guitar and start playing. The lyrics from in my head and I start singing. 

"It almost feels like it was just a dream. All these memories of you and me blown away in the summer breeze. It almost feels like we just never were. All this time we spent was just a blur. Now it's just me and a melody. Now what am I supposed to do? Cause all these plans we made in the sand are through. Without you I'm on my own. Am I gonna be alone? And if its only me myself and I, will I be fine? So far from home. And I just don't know am I gonna make it? Brave enough to take this road? Out on my own. And maybe I'm falling on my face, or maybe I'm landing in my place. And maybe we're a million miles apart. Or maybe we're standing heart to heart. But no matter what I'm walking right off this stage and never looking back, looking back to yesterday. No way. No way. I'm on my own yeah yeah! As long as I got me myself and I. I'm doing fine. So far from home. But know I know that I'm gonna make it, brave enough to take this road. It almost feels like it was just a dream. All these memories of you and me.

It's been a week since Maya and I broke up. A week since I slept, eaten, or even got a drink. Since I left the room. Since I left my bed. I just keep thinking about her. But now I can never see her again. I don't notice when my mom came in, but now she's on me edge of my bed stroking my forehead.

 "Lucas, please talk to me."

 "About what?" I ask, no emotion in my voice. 

"About Maya. Honey I know breakups are hard, but you have to move on." 

"Mom, you don't get it. I love her. From the moment we met, I just knew. She was the one. But now I've lost her forever." I say. 

 I look out my window, at the overcast skies. Dark grey like my mood. 

"Then why don't you go talk to her? I'm sure she feels the same way." I look at her. I know Maya loves me. She felt it too. Of course she and I could still be together. "Okay mom. Thanks!" I say, and I hurry out the door. 

When I get to Maya's house, I knock on the door. To my surprise, Maya's mom answers. "Oh hello Lucas!" "Hi, is Maya here?" "No, she's at central park." "Okay thanks!" I say. I need to find her. Running as fast as I can, I reach the park and spot Maya instantly. But she's not alone. Sitting next to her is a boy, and he's flirting with her. Instantly, I feel jealous. How dare he move in on my girlfriend! Except she's not my girlfriend anymore. I'll just see what's going on. "Hey Maya." I say looking at her, then to the boy next to her. 

The boy looks at me with pure hatred, and he stands up. He's a lot taller than me. He's maybe six foot three. "What are you doing here?" He says, looking me squarely in the eye. "I'm here to talk to Maya if her bodyguard doesn't mind." He looks at Maya, and back to me. "Right. Because this is what people do when they never want to see someone ever again." "Look could I just speak to her?" "Why? So you can hurt her again? Trust me, she was really broken until I found her. You will never hurt her again." "Who are you to tell me if I can or can't talk to her?" Maya stands up and goes in between us. "Stop both of you! Josh I'll talk to Lucas okay?" Josh relaxes slightly and sits down. 

Maya turns to look at me. "What?" "Maya I am so sorry for what I did. I still love you. I'm yours... if you want me." She just looks at the ground. "Will you forgive me?"
