The 14th Floor

Stay

Jonah grabbed Maliá while the others weren't looking, and they ran behind the shed.
"Maliá we need to complete our song by tomorrow,"Jonah said.
"I know, but we can't leave without them freaking out on us,"Maliá said.
Jonah looks down "I think we should tell them we're dating."
"Really?"Maliá asked getting excited.
"I mean it's either that or they find out about our YouTube channel together,"Jonah said.
"I mean I guess.....But I didn't wanna have to announce because we have no choice,"Maliá said sadly. "I know you're embarrassed to tell everyone that you're dating...Me."
"I love you Maliá. I'm not embarrassed, I promise you. I'm embarrassed about the way they'll react, I don't want you to have to deal with them, didn't you see how they were this morning all Judgy and rude. But I love you so much, so you know what I don't care if they approve or not, all I care is that I'm with you and I don't have to worry about them anymore,"Jonah said hugging her.
"I love you too, I guess if you're ready to tell them I am too,"Maliá said.
"We'll do it together, are you ready,"Jonah asked holding her hand.
"Yeah....Let's go,"Maliá said taking a deep breath.
They run back over to their friends who gives them weird looks.
"Where were you guys,"Brett asked?
"No the real question is, why do you guys keep running off together,"Klaine said folding her arms.
"Yeah what she said,"Brett said glaring at them.
"Guys why does it matter,"Jac said.
"Yeah why is it such a big deal,"Hadlee said.
"Because it'll screw up our channel,"Brett said.
"So you can ask Klaine out, but when somebody else wants to be together they're not allowed,"Jonah said.
"No....Well we aren't together, so you can't use that,"Brett said.
"Yes I can, because if I love Maliá I should have the right to be able to say that to her, without you guys having tantrums, yes we are dating! What's it to you?! I'll shout it to the whole world, and if you are worried about us ruining your precious channel that is so important to you, fine I'll quit, and it's up to Maliá what she wants to do,"Jonah said.
"You are dating! Maliá he is so much older than you! That's gross,"Klaine said.
Maliá walked over to Klaine getting angry "You know what Klaine, we are 4 years apart! You were fine with me liking him when you didn't think we were dating! I don't even care for your opinion at this point. I'll be with who I wanna be with, if I love Jonah I'll be with him, the people I date is my concern not yours! And if it bothers you so much, leave me alone, and don't ever talk to me again."
"Fine see if I care, Just get out already, and stop being so dramatic, we don't need you to ruin our channel anyways,"Klaine said.
Maliá walked away from Klaine mad, and ran up to their room in the house to pack her things, and leave. She grabbed her stuff, and walked down the stairs to be stopped by Gregor.
"What are you doing,"Gregor asked with concern on his face?
"I'm leaving,"Maliá said. "I've had just about enough of this place."
Gregor looked at her dead serious "I can't let you do that."
"Why not,"Maliá asked worried?
"I'm sorry to have to do this,"Gregor said. "But it's not a choice."
"Do what,"Maliá asked backing away from him.
"This,"Gregor said putting a cloth over her mouth.
Maliá passed out, and he tied her up in the basement of the mansion.
