Rewrite This Story: Tristan And Miles

Chapter Eleven: All These Things I've Done (Part One)

Maya's POV

It's been a few weeks since Miles and I had sex, and quite honestly I've been a wreck ever since.
Did I really think it was the best idea to have sex with my ex! Did I really think it was the best idea to lose my virginity to my ex? I don't know, maybe, maybe not. I just don't really care right now.

I really needed to talk to Grace about what happened, so I decided to invite her to a movie night at my house. I mean I don't know if she'd want to come, but it's the only idea I have.

"Movie hangout 2nite?"

I waited for a few minutes until she texted back

"Sorry, homework. Major chem test tomorrow. Rain check?"

I just didn't reply. I started crying on my couch when I heard Zig unlock the front door. It's been interesting having him live with my family and I. I mean sure we fight sometimes, but it's nice to have a shoulder to lean on.

As he came in, I made sure to wipe my tears away so he wouldn't know that I was crying. But that failed as soon as he said hi.

"Maya, what's wrong?"  Zig asked with great concern in his voice.

I started crying again as he then immediately rushed to my aide. I leaned my head on him and he pattee my shoulder.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," Zig added. "I can just be here for support."

"No," I said immediately. "I need to tell someone."

I them told him the whole story about how Tristan has been cheating on Miles with Mr. Yates and how Grace and I found our my eavesdropping, and how Miles heard the end of what Zoë was saying before I ended up telling him.

"Oh Maya," Zig replied with empathy for Miles. "As much as I don't like the guy, I'm sure it really hurt him hearing about it from you. No offense."

"No, I understand," I nodded in agreement. "But that's not even the worst part.."

I then went on to explain what happened when I went to check on him in the school parking lot.

"He told me that he was going to class, but I knew better. So I secretly followed him to the school parking lot and waited a bit before going up to him. Zig, he was devastated. I've never seen him so emotional in the time that I've known him. And on top of all his family drama, he just doesn't deserve any of this. And I think I just made it worse.."

"Why do you think that?" Zig said with suspension, expecting the worst.

I hesitates at first, but then told him about the events that happened after I got into his car to console him.

"I don't know, I guess I just wanted to make him feel better." I said unsure.

Zig looked absolutely baffled, and a little hurt. I know that he still feels something for me. And I know that I didn't give him a fair chance after everything with Cam happened, like I said I would. I just jumped into things with Miles, and everyone saw how bad that ended. But this? This was by far the most awful thing that I've ever done.

"I'm such a horrible person." I said to Zig as I started crying more.

Zig was speechless, but just knowing that he was here with me right now made me feel better than any words could. He did, however, attempt to make me feel better.

He tilted my chin up with his hand, like he was about to kiss me, and spoke.

"Ms. Matlin, you are the furthest thing from a horrible person," he started. "Now, what kind of horrible person would let a hoodlum like myself stay with them and their amazing family? You're fantastic Maya, please don't ever forget that."

He stared into my eyes as I stared into his. To break the tension, I started hitting him with one of the couch pillows. He looked very offended.

"My oh my, is this what the handsome gentleman gets for trying to make the princess feel better? You need to learn your manners miss." Zig said cracking a smile.

"Where's the handsome gentlemen? All I see is the wart covered toad!" I said while barely containing my laughter.

Zig had a big shocked expression on his face, and after uttering the phrase "It's on," began the most epic but short lived pillow fight in Matlin house history. After 10 seconds, I began feeling sick, and then ran to the bathroom and threw up. Zig came by after to make sure I was feeling okay.

"Maya, when exactly did you and Miles do it?" Zig asked awkwardly but also concerned.

"About three weeks ago. Why?"

He then looked at me with "that look", and I started freaking out in a minor manner.

"No, no, no. That's impossible. Right?" I asked Zig, so that he'd reassure me that it's not. But I already knew that it is indeed a possibility. More likely than I wish it was.

"Zig, could you do me a huge favor?" I asked with my begging puppy dog eyes.

I knew he'd have some reservations, but he ended up going to the drug store and got me a pregnancy test. I really wish it didn't have to come to this, and I wish that I didn't have Zig involved. His life has been hard enough already, he didn't need this stress.

"Maya, I'm here for you, whatever the outcome is." He said reassuringly.

"I just don't want to make your life harder than it already is," I said bluntly, but then backtracked and said "Not that it's really bad, I've just caused enough drama for everyone already."

Zig then kissed my head and reassured me again that everything will be okay. I went into the bathroom and took the test. When I got the results, I came back to the living room, where a nervous Zig awaited the news.

"Well, what happened?" Zig asked with some anxiety.

I took a breath and spoke.
