"What?" i said backing away

"You heard me Hart! I want your jacket...now give it to me." Marie said with a smile, stepping closer to me.

"You dont wanna mess with me right now Marie." I said staring her dead in her eyes.

Lucas POV

I left my phone at the park like a dumb person. As i was walking i saw Maya and two girls i didnt really recognize. One of the girls got in Maya's face, then pushed her.

Ughh i got mad, i had to protect her but before i even got close Maya started punching the girl.

Wow i knew Maya was a fighter but i never expected this.

"Maya! STOP!" i yelled i dont know why i just knew she wasnt acting like herself.

She let them go but not before giving them a cold stare.

She turned to me and said, "What do you want Friar."

"Why are you acting like this! This isnt you!"

She laughed, "You dont know anything about me Lucas! At least not anymore.." She said backing away.

"Maya!" i yelled but she kept walking. I ran after her and grabbed her arm.

She screamed in pain.

"Maya?" i said letting go of her arm, realizing i hurt her.

She stared at me blankly almost coldly. "Leave me alone huckeberry.." she was holding on to her arm.

Did i really hurt her?

"Im sorry Maya i didnt mean to-"

"Its wasnt you.." she was looking  at her feet.

"What?"

"Never mind! Listen i gotta go see you at school." and then she was gone. She ran off into the night and i  didnt follow her because i was so confused.

I went home that night and i couldn't sleep because i was worried about her. What was going on? My thoughts haunted me that night.

Maya POV

why didnt i just tell him maybe he could've helped me? He wouldnt care! He would just pity me and i dont need that.

It was getting pretty late but luckily my step dad was on a business trip or whatever so i was clear of being beaten another few days.

Im going to school tomorrow, visible scars are healed alittle and i could just cover it up with makeup.

I dont wanna see Lucas after what happened earlier.

I went home and i was alone.

My mom was at work so i had to make my own food but im used to it.

At first i couldnt sleep but i was in so much pain but i ended up crying myself to sleep.

Next day
