Emily POV

We approached my front door and Maya stopped. "Is something wrong?" I asked concerned. "I'm just preparing myself for your mom. She clearly hates me and I have to make a good impression so I have to plan what I'm going to say."

"Maya, she's away with work" I replied smiling.  "Oh." She said clearly relieved. I turned around and I could tell she wasn't following. "What's wrong now?" I asked. "I was just thinking...we have the whole house to ourselves."

"Yeah, I know, but we also have a calculus test tomorrow and we really have to study"

The smirk on her face disappeared as she came up really close to me. "Okay, fine. But just one thing..." She leaned in close and kissed me passionately. Then she pulled away and walked towards my door, "we can study now" she said with a smirk on her face.

We lay on my bed reading the text book that was in front of us. We'd been studying for about 20 minutes and I couldn't handle the silence any longer. I grabbed the book and threw it across my room, "who cares about calculus anyways" I said whilst pulling her closer to me. She smiled and whispered, "I knew I'd break you" as she kissed me. That moment everything was perfect. All my worries and problems just disappeared and didn't bother me. I couldn't think of any place I'd rather be or any person I'd rather be with. We lay together on my bed for ages until the door opened down stairs. I quickly rearranged the covers and pillows as I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. We sat casually as if nothing had been happening when my mom opened the door. "Hey Emily...and hello Maya."

"Hi Mom! I wasn't expecting you to home this early."

"Yeah well, I'm here"

"Em, I'll just leave you two to catch up" Maya said whilst walking towards my bedroom door. "I'll walk you out" I replied following her.

"I'm sorry about my Mom. I know she'll eventually come around"

"It's okay Em. I call you later" she said as she climbed into her car.

"Maya, I love you" I said through the open window.

"I love you to Em" she said back to me whilst kissing me.

She drove off and I walked back to my house. I got back up to my room and noticed shed left her bag on the floor. I took it downstairs and put it at the front door so I wouldn't forget to drop it off at her house before I went to Spencer's. I went back upstairs, and did actually studied for a few hours before getting ready to go to Spencer's. I went down the stairs and noticed Mayas bag had gone, and my mom was sat just staring into space at the table. "Mom, is everything okay?" I asked wondering. "No it's not okay Emily. Are you on drugs?" She screamed at me whilst grabbing my arm. "NO" I screamed back whilst pulling my arm away.

"Why would you even think that?" I asked.

"There was pot in Mayas bag"

"You went through her bag. Mom you had no right to do that"

"I had every right Emily. Is this why you like her, because she giving you drugs?"

"I can't believe you"

"Emily all I want to know is the truth. I want you to know this has nothing to do with Maya being a girl"

"Yes it does. If she was a boy you wouldn't have gone through his things?"

"Well, I returned her bag to her parents and spoke to them about this"

At tear rolled down my eye as I shook with anger. "Are you trying to ruin her life? Don't punish her because she is with me! Dont punish her because you think what we are is wrong! This is not Mayas fault and it's not mine either. Whatever you do, you can't change the way I feel about her! Don't you get that? Mom this is not some experiment or some stupid fling. I love her. I love Maya. And not you or her parents or whatever you have done is going to change that." I stormed out and slammed the door and walked to my car. I climbed inside and cried like I've never cried before. What was going to happen to Maya now? I called her and called her and called her agin but she didn't answer. I text her many times and she didn't reply. I drove round town looking around to see if I could find her anywhere, but it was no use. I checked my phone and it was 9:15, the girls were starting to call me as I was supposed to be at Spencer's an hour ago. I searched a little more and than decided to go to Spencer's and ask them to help me.

I arrived at Spencer's and walked in. The girls were sat at the kitchen bench and Ian's boxes were scattered all across the room. I saw a reflection of myself in the mirror and I looked a mess. "Have you seen her? Have you seen Maya?" I said with a panicked tone in my voice. The girls just looked at me as I stood begging for them to help me find her. I was just about to leave when Spencer spoke. "Em, we can help you find her. Just go upstairs first"

"Spencer why on earth would I go upstairs?"

S:"Em, just go"

"Wait" Hanna said coming over to me. She wiped the running mascara off my cheeks, sorted my hair and unbuttoned the top bottom of my shirt. "Now you can go?" I had an idea of what was happening but I didn't want to admit it to myself in case it wasn't what I thought. I turned around to look at the girls and they all shouted GO in unison towards me. I walked up the stairs and opened Spencer's door and there she was, sat on Spencer's bed, gleaming with beauty. I could tell she had been crying. "Maya, I thought you were gone, you wouldn't answer any of my calls! I thought I was never going to see you again" I said as I walked over and hugged her. "My parents blocked my phone. There sending me off to some rehab camp called true north. I leave in the morning"

"I'm so sorry Maya! Your being punished because of me, because of my mom"

She grabbed my hands and looked deep into my eyes. "It's not your fault okay? It's not. It's okay Emily, I promise."

"I love you so much"

"I love you too"

We stood hugging each other for ages, just appreciating each other. I couldn't believe what was happening. I cried, quietly as she hugged me and every second that passed made me feel more and more upset. I tried to forget about it and I broke away from our hug. I put my hand on her check and just looked at her for a few seconds before kissing her. I was so happy to be with her in that moment, but I knew that it was going to last very long.
