[To all of you who want Lucaya happening, it is going to happen, just other things are going to be happening too.]

Maya's POV-

I still continued to laugh with Charlie, although, I had barely spent any time with Lucas, spending time with Riley and Charlie made it up.

Charlie was telling me jokes, talking about his favourite films, and other stuff too.
He was interesting to talk too, I enjoyed it.

Throughout us both walking Charlie went silent for a while, I glanced over at him as he was walking, this odd silence was nothing like him.

"Hey, uh Charlie?" I asked him, as I stopped walking all of the sudden. "Are you okay, you uh... seem kinda down."

Charlie looked at me and shrugged. "I'm just thinking, what people always have they never seem to appreciate."

I was confused by this, what on earth did he mean?I appreciated stuff..

"What do you mean, Charlie?" I asked him.

"You know what, Maya?It doesn't matter." Charlie said, his tone sounding a bit off with me. "Forget what I said, let's just get you home and forget all of this happened."

"Charlie, what the heck is wrong with you?" Out of nowhere I began frowning a little, I didn't want to lose Charlie at the moment. He was important to me.

"What's wrong with me? I'm a mess at the moment."

"Mess?Have I missed something out or-?" I asked him.

"I'm a mess because sure, I had a chance with a really great girl tonight but I keep thinking of someone I shouldn't, someone who has been really good to me." Charlie said, Sighing.

"Lucas?"

Of course it wouldn't be Lucas... Charlie wasn't gay, but it could be him, I guess?but I highly doubt it.. I just thought this way since I hoped it wasn't me.

Charlie shook his head, looking at me. "Someone close to Lucas, very close, sadly."

"Oh.."

Charlie looked at me, his face was tear stained. "Maya, I'm sorry for yelling at you."

"It's fine, Gardner." I said, walking up to him to give him a hug, he hugged me back.

We stayed like this for a couple of minutes, strangely enough.

Charlie looked up at me during the hug, staring at me. I stared back and I couldn't help but wonder why he was staring, There was nothing special about me. Soon enough I felt Charlie's head come closer to mine, I didn't move, stupidly enough... I knew Lucas was going to be mad..
I felt tear stained lips go against my own, for a second I kissed back but then remembered Lucas..

God, why was this so confusing?

I couldn't possibly like both Lucas and Charlie at the same time... could I?

It simply was not possible.

Me and Charlie quickly pulled away from each other, both of us realising what we did. I felt a bit shaken as I couldn't help but be scared of what was going to happen next, I quickly ran off.

I heard Charlie yelling from behind of me, he seemed as upset as I did..

All I could do now is hope that nothing more was going to happen..

Lucas's POV-

Today had been a long day, it was a failed date and just spending time with Charlie only.

Nothing was the way it had used to be, everything had changed because of Texas.

I couldn't help but wonder if that I hadn't dated Riley would everything be okay with me and Maya now, or maybe it would be a little less awkward.
She had been really distant from me lately, which I guess concerned me.

I tried thinking nothing of it, right now all I was currently was just glad to be home.
I had barely spent anytime with my mom, maybe now would be a good time to spend time with her.

"Hey, mom." I said, walking over to her and sitting down next to her on the sofa. "What are you watching?"

"Oh, just some old film." She said, laughing a little. "It's not like you to spend time with your old mom, what happened?"

"Nothing, mom. Honestly!" I said, laughing. "I just wanted to spend time with you, is that so bad?"

"Of course not, sweetie." Said my mom, kissing the top of my head.

I smiled and looked at the television, I didn't understand why she thought something was wrong.

My life was going good .... I guess, everything seemed okay, nothing seemed to be that odd, my life was okay I guess. Okay. I wasn't sure how to describe all of my current life situations.

Times like this with my mum ... I felt young again, which was a nice feeling, I hadn't felt like this in a long time, the feeling was amazing.

"We can switch over if you want, Lucas." Said my mom, smiling at me. "I know you find my type of movies slightly boring."

I shrugged. "It's fine by me, if we were to put something else on what would you want to put on?"

"The longest ride, the maze runner, now you see me, whatever you are into these days, I can barely catch up with the amount of films that come out a lot these days." My mom said, laughing.

I laughed too. "Which movie do you want to watch?"
