Ch.9 maya. Harden up

I woke up squished. Literally squished. Luke on top and cal, Michael and Ashton beside be on both sides. It felt like I was in the army again. But this didn't really feel like the army at the same time. Everyone was cuddling up to me. I looked up at Luke. I'm not going to lie, I kinda like Luke laying like this. Him on top of me, his arms wrapped around me. Nothing sexual, just normal in a way. But it's policy to not get attached. After the attacker is caught or dead they're leaving. We can keep in touch but I doubt with our busy schedules we'd be able to maintain contact. Can't believe I'm saying this but I'll miss them. It's been two weeks and I'm already getting attached. I've gone soft.

"Guys wake up." I say pushing them roughly. Time to harden up.

"Hey. You almost pushed me off." Ashton whined.

"You're lucky I didn't now everyone up. We have stuff to do today." I bark. I mentally curse myself for being so mean but this has to be done.

"What's gotten into you?" Calum asked suspicion prominent in his voice.

"Nothing. Now get up and get dressed. Be back down for breakfast when I yell at you." I commanded.

"Yes ma'am" Michael said they all got up and left. Except Luke.

"Lucas hey up and go." I commanded.

"No. I don't wanna. Why are you so mean?" Like questioned

"Do you remember what you got for talking back? I said get up and go." I barked pushing him. He got up and looked at me so sad and confused. That's it I officially hate myself. He walked out and shut the door meekly. Calm down maya. It's your Job. You're doing what you have to. I got up and changed into black jeans and my army green shirt. I put my leather jacket over it. I came downstairs and began cooking.

"boys! food!" I yelled up the stairs. They came down and sat at the table. I gave them their food. I told them I had work and went to my room. The truth is I don't want to face them anymore than absolutely necessary. I don't like being mean to them. I went to the living room a bit later to tell the boys we have to leave. The car ride to headquarters was silent. I turned up the radio so it was less awkward.

"Remember address me as agent maya and if anyone asks why you're here you're with agent 121 maya lyntowski. Do what I say when I say it. Clear?" I barked.

"Crystal" Calum gulped. He sounded sad. I felt so bad. Suck it up maya! We left the car and I went into the building. We went to the conference room. I told the boys to wait outside. I entered the conference room and sat down.

"Ah agent lyntowski. Take a seat." Agent carthan said. I did as I was told and waited for the meeting was over. It took only about thirty minutes. He told me that he was going to wait to see if I had caught the attacker or the accomplice. The boys would be out of my protective custody in a week if I caught the attacker. If not my mission would continue until I caught them. I walk out the door and tell the boys to follow me. We stop at the bathrooms. They don't have to go but I do. I left to splash water on my face. I hear them talking to someone and I peek outside to see who it is. Mitchell. I decided to listen in.

"She's acting so weird. She was so sweet and nice up until this morning. She's rude and cold now." Michael said sadly.

"Wait is she bossier and more demanding?" Mitchell asked.

"Yeah." Calum confirmed. Mitchell starts laughing

"Oh my god I can't believe you've done it!" Mitchell laughed.

"Done what?" Luke asked obviously confused.

"You've gotten into her heart. She sees you as friends. She remembers the situation you're in and is trying to get you out of her heart so you can't attach to her anymore. She knows she's going to miss you after the missions over so she's disconnecting herself from you. If you want old maya back, latch onto her like a fucking koala. Tell her how her actions make you feel straight from your heart. You'll break her in a few days." Mitchell explained. The boys nodded.

"Oh I have to run. Do not tell maya what you know. If she finds out what I told you she'll go haywire. She'll say stuff she doesn't mean. If she says something overly mean, she doesn't mean it at all. She's just trying to get you to hate her so she can get you guys out of her head. I promise. Bye boys" I heard Mitchell say. He walked off Well my plan is fucking foiled. I'll still try just incase they end up forgetting.

"Boys." I say walking past them. They follow. The drive home was quite funny because every time someone tried talking to me I turned the radio up louder. I had to suppress giggles the whole way home. We got there and I went straight to my room. I put on my exercise clothes and ran down to the training room and began working out. I was punching the punching bag extremely hard. I was so angry at everything. I heard footsteps and saw Michael peer at me from the doorway. I stopped my actions.

"H-hey maya." Michael faltered

"What do you need?" I asked coldly. Michael and Calum stepped in the room. This was going to be tough. Not going to lie. They were my favorites. Me and them were basically best friends. We had nicknames for each other.

"We wanted to know if you want anything to eat. You didn't eat breakfast." Calum asked gently. I wasn't hungry. I was starving. I hadn't eaten dinner last night or breakfast this morning.

"No, thank you. I'll eat dinner in about an hour or two. I'm making chicken." I said without emotion. It was like I was at work again.

"M-maya. You're acting weird. What's wrong?" Michael stuttered. He was scared of me. I'm so stupid.

"Nothing is wrong. Go back to the others. I'll be there later." I said trying my hardest to keep up the "I'm an agent and you're just a job" act.

"May, you've acted so different since this morning. Please tell us what's wrong. It hurts us." Calum said. My damn nickname is what got me. How sad he looked and how he said it. I'd really gotten attached to them. They were like my brothers. I always trust too easily. But only if I know 100% their not a threat at all.

"Goddamnit." I huff. I threw my boxing gloves to the ground and rush over to them, I enclosed them into a hug. "I am so sorry about how I was acting. I'm such a stupid bitch."

"Hey hey hey! You're not a stupid bitch. We know why you acted that way. Mitchell told us. We wanted to break you. We missed the nice you and wanted you back." Michael explained.

"Yeah I overheard you and Mitch talking. I tried so hard but you two really got me." I said.

"So you do think of us as friends?" Calum smirked.

"Yes. Michael were you really scared of me? You acted terrified." I asked sadly. Michael nodded sadly.

"Yeah. I don't know why I was just scared." He explained.

"Oh my god I am so sorry. I am a terrible person. I'm so sorry." I apologized wrapping him tightly in a hug.

"It's okay. You aren't a terrible person." He said.

"I don't know about you but I'm hungry. Can we have dinner?" Calum asked.

"Yes we can." I said. I walked out them following me "just let me talk to Ashton and Luke." Went over to them and hugged the giants. I apologized.

"Boys I need one of you to get your mattress and all of you to get your blankets and pillow." I said.

"I'll get my mattress." Ashton says.

"Cal will you help him please? Mikey go get your blanket and pillow please. Luke help me please." I said.

"Got it." Michael said

"Will do." Calum responded. Luke followed me to my room.

"We need to move my mattress to the living room." I said. Luke nodded and we moved the mattress. We got everything done and we laid down like we did last Night. We all fell asleep.
