Failure

Chapter 86

Moana's POV

Time Skip... A month later...

  Between my work study job, my job at Dairy Queen, and a few contributions from close friends and family, Maui and I officially have enough money for our wedding. I did the math last night when he was asleep because I wanted to surprise him with this amazing news. He's going to be so happy! Right now him and Jack are hanging out in their dorm. Neither of them knows I'm planning on stopping by but I figured my presence would be appreciated nonetheless. I grab my phone, charger, and a couple other essentials to take with me upstairs in case I don't come back to my dorm right away, which I usually don't whenever Maui and I see one another. I take the elevator up and get to his dorm in no time. I knock on the door and wait patiently for him or Jack to open it. Jack's the one who opens it, though as he does, he looks at me in confusion. "Mo, what are you doing here?" 

  I look at him in confusion. "I'm looking for Maui, though based on your reaction he doesn't seem to be here. Where is he?" Jack's confused expression turns into a softer and slightly sad one. He's been struggling with Psychology this semester. You know that exam he took online when you two had your study date last night?" I nod my head in understanding and he grimaces. "Maui failed the exam and is now failing the class. He's really bummed out about it. He left about an hour ago to go to the place he often goes to think." A moment of silence passes before the both of us conclude that he's at the lake. I give Jack a quick hug. "Thanks for telling me Jack. I'll go to him." He hugs me back and gives me a sad smile before closing the door. 

   I head back to my dorm quick to grab my car keys and drive down to the lake. When I get there, I park it and spot Maui immediately. He's sitting on a really big rock with his back facing me. I can practically feel the sadness radiating off of him, breaking my heart. My poor Maui. I don't want him beating himself up too much for this. "Maui?" At the mention of his name, he tenses and sits up straight, bracing himself for impact. Hesitantly, he whips his head around to look at me. "Jack told you I was here didn't I?" I look at him sadly. "Not directly but he hinted at it and I was able to pick up on it given that I'm practically a genius." He chuckles sadly. "Yeah that among many other amazing things." 

   I slowly head over to Maui and sit down next to him on the rock, wrapping my arms around him. "Maui, I'm really sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?" Maui looks at me in surprise. "You know all about my failure on that stupid exam don't you?" I sigh and nod. "I know you were going to probably tell me about it but Jack beat you to the punch. He's worried about you Maui and so am I. It's very rare that we see you sad. It's makes us sad when you're sad." Maui sighs and wraps his arms around me. "I hate when people worry about me. It makes me feel like crap knowing that they're dwelling on me so much. I'm not worth worrying about." I gasp. "Maui, yes you are." Maui tears up and looks away for a moment. "Mo, I'm an idiot. I'm feeling one of the easiest classes college has to offer. It's ruining my G.P.A. I can't lose my scholarships. I only have a couple more exams to take before the semester ends. If I don't pass those, it's over for me." 

  "Maui, I'll help you study for the next two exams. I took Psychology last year and did okay." He sighs. "Mo, baby girl, I love you so much, but you helping me study for a class you did well in but I flunked puts a dent in my ego." I sigh. "Well Maui, tell me this, do you want to pass or fail?" He looks taken aback by my blunt question. I love Maui so much but sometimes as much as you love someone, you have to give them tough love from time to time. "I want to pass." I look at him seriously but lovingly. "Then let me help you?" I stroke his cheek gently and kiss it. "Please?" He takes my hands and kisses them. "I'll let you help me. I'm sorry for overreacting like that. I just hate feeling stupid." 

   "Maui, you're not stupid. Everyone has that one class they struggle with. For me, it's Calculus (Part 2). " Maui pulls me in for a hug and a kiss. "How did I ever become so blessed to have the best girl in the world as my lover?" I smile at him lovingly. "That's a good question, but an ever better one is how did I become so blessed to have the best guy in the world as my lover?" Neither of us answer each other's question because our lips are crashed against each other instantly. We kiss like it's the last day of our lives, tuning out the rest of the world in this moment. It's just us.
