Chapter Three

GERMANY: NO MORE LIES

Soon after Mellony left Maya and Hendrick alone. They left on a search for food in the city.

***

In an abandoned house.

"Hey, I got soup over here." shouted Hendrick clearly excited.

"Hey, you don't have to shout!" Maya shouted back laughing at Hendrick's excitement.

"I know." said Hendrick walking into the kitchen. And turned to the pantry. Where Maya was.

Hendrick slowly walked into the pantry hoping to surprise Maya.

Creak... Maya turned around and jumped at the sight of Hendrick standing in front of her.

"Oh my freaking god....... you scared the living crap out out of me." said Maya angrily.

"I'm so sorry." said Hendrick wrapping his arms tightly around her. "I didn't mean to scare so badly." he whispered softly in her ear, he could now feel Maya's rapid heartbeat slowing down as he held her.

"Don't ever do that again." she threatened but was still smiling that crooked smile of hers that Hendrick had learned to love.

"I wont." He said crossing an x over his heart " and hope to die."

Maya Just smiled up at him "Let's get back to work."

"Okay." he said as his smile widened showing off his dimples. Maya just shook her head and went back to work, but this time her smile grew even bigger reaching to her dark green eyes and making her blush deepen.

***

"Hello." said a low smokey voice from behind Maya.

"Hendrick, really?" said Maya turning around to see a blond haired boy about her age standing alarmingly close to her. Her heart almost leaped out of her chest.

"Sorry to have startled you ma'am, but this is not your house therefore I would like you to leave, before the owners or someone not so kind starts wondering why your here." said the boy.

"We're looking for food." said Hendrick walking into the kitchen having heard what the blond haired boy said from another room.

"Take it." said the boy "But in return I know someone who would like to meet you."

"Who me?" asked Hendrick pointing at himself.

"No the girl." answered the boy pointing at Maya.

"No." said Hendrick not even thinking about it.

"Yes. I'll go with you to meet this person, but I have to bring him with me." said Maya pointing at Hendrick.

"Alright then I will see you both in a few hours. Stay in this area so that I know where to find you." said the blond haired boy walking away without another word.

* * *

" I need to tell you something." said Hendrick***

breaking the silence that had once filled in the areas, lose of words was part of it but the other was Maya thinking about this 'person who wanted to meet her' she was racking her mind. When suddenly Hendrick started talking."Yeah, what is it?" asked Maya only half wanting an answer and half thinking of this person wanting to meet her.

"My name isn't Hendrick." he said all of a sudden.

"Then, what is your name?" asked Maya confused.

"Max. Hendrick is my surname." he said searching Maya's face, he could clearly see she was hurt."I'm so sorry, Maya."

"Why did you lie?" she asked needing to know why he would do something like this, after all she did to help him... she trusted him and he lied to her.

"I wanted to tell you Maya swear I did, but I couldn't."  he said feeling his heart slowly breaking from the angry and sad look on Maya's face.

"Why couldn't you tell me?" asked Maya looking at Hendrick as if he hit her. But he hadn't moved an inch since he started talking.

"Because I didn't want to lose you." he said quietly.

"What do you mean lose me?" asked Maya

'I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid of losing you, I'm afraid of losing you because..... I love you." said Hendrick walking toward Maya. Pleading with his eyes that she understands.

But all she did was stand very still. Afraid she might break if she moves. But Hendrick was suddenly standing in front of her with his arms wrapped around her small shoulders. And she hugged him back until the blond haired boy showed up again.

"Sorry to intrude again but may I ask your name?"

"No." said Hendrick

"The girl." said the boy clearly annoyed at Hendrick.

"My name's Maya." she said.

"Hello Maya. My name's Liuo." the blond haired boy who now had a name said.
