Diner Girl Meets Prince

LIES

MAYA'S POV

"Alex?" I say sobbing, while knocking on my cousin's front door. Alex was 22, I had always looked up to her when I was young, she always listened to me, and was so strong and independent. So why not drive an hour and a half farther up north to talk?

Ok I'm an emotional wreck, you can't really blame me dude. And if you do fuck off.

My cousin opened the door with a big smile, but it quickly faded when she saw the state I was in. She pulled me into a tight hug, and dragged us both inside. She sat me down on the couch still hugging me. She pulled out of the hug, wiping the hair away from my face.

"Hey Maya, what a pleasant and sad surprise. What's wrong honey? Are you ok?"

I nod my head and put a fake smile on my face but quickly break out of it and put my head to my knees sobbing. She hugged me again before running to grab tissues.

I told her my whole story.
"Honey, you fell in love in a matter of three days?" She asked stroking my back.

I lift my head from my knees, sniffling a lot.
"I-i don't love him. It just hurt when he told me things he didn't mean," I say softly.

Alex puts on an embarrassed look,
"Oh sorry, just the way you look when you talk about him. I thought it was something more."

I shake the thought of love out of my head. I didn't matter if I loved him or not because he doesn't love me. He doesn't even like me.
Lucas just wanted some fun.
He used me for fun.
Great.
Just great.

ZAY'S POV

"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?" I ask Anna pacing back and forth.

"Zay, calm down. It's only been a day. Maybe she went to Atlantic city, go gambling for fun or something." Anna says hopefully.

Her calmness makes me happy. I go over to her and kiss her forehead.
"Maybe you're right mayb-" I start but I'm interrupted by Anna's eyes widening.

"OHMYGOD I AM NOT RIGHT! SHE'S PROBABLY LAYING DEAD SOMEWHERE IN A DARK ALLEY WAY BY HERSELF. WHILE WE'RE JUST SITTING HERE LIKE A BUNCH OF MORONS!" Anna screams at me.

She starts to hyperventilate, I sit down next to her and hug her tightly as she rests her head in my chest crying.
"Shhh, it's gonna be okay. I overreacted she's probably fine."

As if on cue Maya walks through the door with takeout Chinese. Anna and I run to Maya making her drop her food as we tightly hug her.
"You guys are as quieting me too hard"

And as fate was have it, Farkle and Liv burst through the door and tell in unison,
"MAYA YOU'RE BACK!"

They jump into the group hug, making Maya's cheeks turn slightly purple.
"Can't. Breathe."

We all laugh and back away from the and sit on the couch. We eat the Chinese Maya brought, while watching the tv. Maya can't find a channel she likes so Liv steals the remote from her.
"We're watching cheesy celebrity gossip"

She changes the channel and a picture of Maya appears on the screen, with prince douchebag.
Liv turns up the volume, and we can hear the lady talking to Lucas over the phone.

"So Prince Lucas, who is this mystery girl we've been seeing with you so much? Is she a new girlfriend of your's or just a friend?"

Maya is intently waiting for Lucas's response and I wince as I hear his answer,
"That girl? I don't even know her. I may have taken a few photos with her, but, no. I really don't know her. I'm kind of sad i never got to meet her though, I love meeting followers."

Maya got up from the couch despite our protests, grabbed her backpack full of extra clothes and her sketchbook, then left. We look out the windows to see her not taking Bessy, but walking towards the docks.

Dammit, she's gonna take a bus out of town.
