XXXIV. - Miss Moving On -

Song for this chapter:

 1. "Miss Moving on" by Fifth Harmony

---

Maine has finally reached rock bottom. The stron front she displayed for years ahs cracked all because of one single boy.  She spent the past few days letting her heart reigh over her decisions, and that caused everything she built to crumble down. Now, Maine feels like she's already  a million miles away from who she was before Alden stepped back in her life.

The young girl took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She started talking to herself, wondering how she's going to fix the war that is going on in her heart.

Alden took a deep breath before he and Andrew went inside his room. Hi best friend threw himself on the bed while Alden took his uniform off and changed to his usual white shirt and pajamas. He then sat on the side of the bed and turned on the T.V.

What Maine did earlier to him shocked everyone. For a moment, Alden thought they're already okay. But today, she showed something different. Maine was shaky, it's extremely obvious that she's bothered about something. And she exploded on him. He wanted to catch her but he was too later, she already fell from his arms.

"Dude, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Is Vanessa in your house?"

"Of course."

"Then I need you to accompany me tomorrow night. Everything between us has to end." Alden replied. He's serious this time, he will end everything. 

"Why?"

"I want to get Maine back. I will get her back."

---

Maine woke up the next day feeling good. She felt like her entire burden has been lifted off her shoulders. The young girl felt free and for once, she's certain everything will be okay again.

"You seem happy." Allison said.

"That's because I am." Maine answered with a huge smile on her face. After she ate her breakfast, the young girl quickly changed to her uniform and left their house. Something changed overnight, the pain that she felt has left her body. She's now okay, or at least as okay as she can be.

---

A few minutes after Alden reached the gym, he already saw Maine talking to their instructor.  He quickly knew the reason why, and that is to apologize for the scene she made yesterday.

"Hi, Maine."  Alden greeted after she got near him.

"Yesterday was a mistake." she answered.

 "So don't repeat it again." he replied

Suddenly, she reached for his hands. Maine held one up while the other found it's way on ehr hip. Alden gave her a look of confusion and asked what's happening.

"I'm holding your hands."

"Yeah why?" he asked. 

"We're going to dance ... remember?"

"Yeah ... right." Alden answered and continued to stare at her. Alden smiled and she smiled back. He can't help but feel a bit weird about her sudden change and so he asked her if she's alright.

"I'm okay. We're just dancing, two classmates dancing. Nothing more and nothing less."

---

For the first time in a long time, Maine is genuinelly proud of herself. She was able to resist Alden's charm and strengthen her own freedom. She felt liberated and free from all the pain he has caused her. And though she's at fauly as well, Maine had learned to forgive herself and just accept the fact that she's also human and that she has a heart that can love and break apart.

A few minutes after she stepped out of the book store, Maine looked up at the majestic orange sky that signals the dying day. She smiled and quickly used her phone to take a picture of the amazing sight. Maine checked the shot and started walking again, only to bump into someone.

"Oh sorry!" they said at the same time. Maine lifted her head and saw a familiar face. She can't figure out where his face popped up before but she's certain her eyes have already sighted him.

"You." she whispered.

"Me?" the young guy asked.

"I'm sorry ... uh, do I know you? Because you seem familiar ... you remind me fo someone." Maine said. The answer is already at the tip of her mouth, she just cna't say it.

"I don't think so, I'm just new here. Matthew's the name by the way." he said and flashed his cute dimple that quickly resembled Alden's.

"Nice name."

"Thanks, what's yours?"

"Maine." she replied and held out her hand. Matthew smiled her and they did a handshake.

 Matthew smiled and then they did a handshake.
