What Is Love

Chapter eighteen

Chance's pov

I was walking to Maya's house when I see Konner yelling at his friends and I stop to listen.

"I know I screwed up but honestly guys she won't like me if she finds out about Tracy paying me" Konner yells about to punch a tree but Ryder stops him.

"Not a good idea man" Ryder responds patting his fist and letting go.

"Look dude all you have to do is tell Maya, she will understand" Carson tries to compromise but Konner shakes his head running a hand through his hair.

"You don't know Maya like I do, she will yell at me then leave to sit by herself and be sad and she will push people away right when she is starting to open up and yeah maybe I don't know what happened to her in the past but I know whatever it was, it's not something she could just forget and-and I don't want to be the reason she is sad but I-I don't want to tell her because I don't want her to leave because she means the world to me and I don't want to lose the world because she gives me a reason to wake up in the morning, I havn't slept with someone since I have really gotten to know her and as I was starting to get to know her I realised how much I really know her, and I don't know if that even makes sense but-but I do know that SHE IS RUINING MY LIFE!" Konner yells at Carson and Ryder start to laugh.

"Now i'm just offended, did I not give you a reason to wake up in the morning?" Ryder asked making Konner and Carson slap him in the back of the head.

"Konner do you like Maya like as more than a friend?" Carson asked and I clenched my fist, Maya is mine, I love her.

"What heck no she is ruining my life" Konner responds and Carson arches an eyebrow.

"So if I were to maybe take a tiny interest in her" Carson says and Konners eyes darken and his fist clench.

"I wouldn't care" Konner mumbles making Carson smirk.

"So you wouldn't care if I took her on a date, and played with her long wavy brown hair and stared into her beautiful blue eyes and told her I love you" Konner frowns and his fist clenched tighter.

"Nope, all that stuff I said earlier as a friendly thing" Konner says shrugging and now Carson frowns realising he isn't getting to him.

"What if I called her right now" Carson tested and Konner shrugged.

Carson pulled out his phone and started to call Maya, the call just went to voicemail and Konner smirked triumphantly.

"Hey Maya it's Carson I was wondering if you wou-" Carson starts but doesn't finish because Konner snatches the phone out of Carson's hands.

"Would not talk to me for a couple of weeks" Konner finishes and Carson's jaw drops as he frowns, Konner hangs up with a proud smirk. Ryder Chuckles while Carson looks back and forth from Konner to his phone.

"What the heck, you couldn't come up with something better than not talk to me" Carson says arching an eyebrow while Konner just shrugs.

"Seemed like the best way to keep you away from her" Konner snaps.

"I don't like Maya like that, I was just trying to get you to admit that you did but I guess you don't have to now because you made it pretty clear that you like her" Carson says a little annoyed that Konner told Maya to stay away from him for a couple of weeks.

Ryder chuckles louder and both of them look at Ryder with a 'this isn't the right time' kind  of look but that just makes Ryder laugh harder.

"Can.....You guys....do that again" Ryder says in between laughter receiving a glare from both of them making him stop laughing and put on a serious face. "Fine not the time, I get it......Maybe later yeah" Ryder offers they both look at him like i'm going to slap you.

"Well Ryder and I have to go, we got a job as babysitters" Carson says and Konner laughs.

"God bless them" Konner says looking up to the sky.

"Thanks man but they are like si-" Carson starts but gets cut off by Konner.

"Not you two, I meant whoever you're babysitting"  Konner chuckles.

"Ha ha" Carson says sarcastically taking his keys out. "We'll talk to you later dude, at least consider telling her before it's too late" Carson adds and Ryder frowns.

"But if he tells her now then she won't like him anymore" Ryder says and Carson kicks him. "Ya'know if you guys keep abusing me like this I might just have to divorce you too" Ryder adds

"Tell her" Carson says dragging Ryder to his car.

When the leave I walk over to Konner who has mixed emotions about everything.

"You're just using Maya?" I ask and Konner jumps not knowing I was there.

"You were listening to my conversation" Konner growls angrily and I put my hands up defensively.

"I'm telling Maya" I say because it's the right thing to do.

"No you're not, she won't like me when all this is over so.." Konner trails "You can have her" Konner says and I can see his eyes turning red.

"I will have her because someone is going to need to be there when she falls" I respond.

"I know that, if I didn't know that I wouldn't have given you an option on whether or not you could date her, because you wouldn't be here to decide" Konner smirks at the end and I scowl.

"Is that a threat" I question annoyed with him, what could Maya possibly see in him.

"It's a promise" Konner says getting on his motorcycle not even giving me time to respond.
