38 - CALM DOWN GUYS

>Maya's POV<

"Sorry, I didn't see you," I shyly brush my hair out of my eyes, but it just fell back in place.

"It's alright."

"I'm sorry for freaking out on you. I guess I was being over dramatic."

"It's fine Maya. I didn't need to get so upset about it..."

"I do care," I look into his eyes, "about your dreams."

"I know you do," he rests his head against mine, "I know."

I smile, "I can be so stupid sometimes."

He laughs, "That makes two of us."

I laugh as I grab his hands, walking out of the washroom.

"Where are we going?"

I smile, "Wherever you want to go."

"Food," he nods. "Yep. Food."

I pull him into the kitchen, "What do you want?"

"I don't know."

I'm pretty sure Calum and Dahlia went outside. They probably thought me and Luke were gonna fight again.

"We could make something."

"Like?"

"Uhm." I open the fridge, "Spaghetti, grilled cheese, pancakes..."

"Let's do something fancy. Kinda... Stir fry is quick?"

"Sure," Suddenly, Luke puts one of his hands on my hip and the other reaches past me to get the ingredients. I smile, "Want rice with it?"

"Sure, why not?"

I grab the rice and put it on the counter, "I can start the rice and cut up the vegetables, if you want."

"Um, like in tiny pieces?"

"Well, yeah. I have made stir fry before."

"I have not."

I laugh, "Okay, I'll teach you."

He nods in response.

Michael and Ashton decided to come over. I was texting them just after me fight with Luke. I'm sure they've been worrying all day.

"Maya! What happened? Are you okay?" Aston runs inside.

"I'm fine. We had a fight, we made up."

"Are you sure?"

I look at Luke sitting on the couch, "I'm sure."

"What about the yelling thing?"

"Dahlia got attacked."

"Where?"

"At school. She has a big gash in her neck."

Michael walks in, "IS EVERYTHING OKAY?" He looks behind me at the couch, "Oh never mind."

I smile, "But yeah. Dahlia is hurt. I can't say anything. You have to ask her yourself. But it's all good."

"Okay. Well I'm gonna talk to her," Ashton says worriedly while walking past me.

"You sure you're okay Maya? Because you can tell me," Michael whispers.

"Hey, you're my best friend. I'd tell you if I wasn't alright."

Luke looks over at me. We're in my backyard. Everyone else is inside the house watching a movie, "You were like really strong today."
