revenge ✔

29

MAYA POV

Over the next few days, I had heard nothing from either Lucas or any of his friends. Not even Missy and Jamie. It feels like ages since I last saw them and I should really start my revenge on them too. But it is too dangerous right now to talk to them. Lucas has probably told them everything that happened meaning they probably want me dead too.

In this time I have managed to grow a lot closer to Riley. I have learnt that she has some sort of an eating disorder but that’s all she says and it is so frustrating. I mean she has been through a lot but so have I and I still eat like a pig. I feel like everytime she talks about her personal life, she is lying to me and I have no idea why.

But anyway, we have still managed to grow really close, up to the point where I am actually debating whether or whether not to tell her about my revenge. Should I? She has the same feelings towards Lucas and his friends as I do and she does look like she wants revenge on them but I feel like there is something holding her back.

We were both currently sitting on my bed in my room just talking about random shit. It turns out she is quite funny to hang out with once you get to know her a little more.

“So then I kneed him in the balls and ran away! Oh my gosh you should have seen his face!” she was explaining a story to me about when she found her ex-boyfriend cheating on her. I burst out laughing and she joined along with me. This laugh didn’t feel strained. It felt free and I liked it. I hadn’t laughed in a while and it felt good.

Once we both recovered from our little laughing fit, we both fell down onto our backs onto the bed and looked up at the ceiling. It went quiet and it was a good quiet. I felt relaxed after a long time. I had always been tense as I was always alert to see when Lucas would strike next but nothing ever came.

Why was this boy constantly on my mind? He fucking abused me in high school and he is still the same prick now. Why am I so fucked up? I wish my feelings for him could just magically disappear but sadly they won’t. My work here would be so much easier if I had no feelings for him.

I am snapped out of my trance with vibrating coming from my butt. I sigh as I reach down and grasp at my small phone out of the pocket.
A new text message.

I open it up and look at who sent it to me and my heart starts beating a little faster. I don’t know if it was fear or something else.

Lucas.

What did he want?

I scrolled down and read the message.

Need to talk to you alone. Meet me in the alleyway in 20 mins. – L

I can practically hear him saying this in his husky ordering voice. I’m so weird. Why am I thinking these things?

There is no fucking way I am going because he will probably kill me, literally. But I don’t want to piss him off. FUCKING HELL!

Riley turns her head at me and shoots me a confused look. I sigh.

“Lucas wants me to meet him alone. He says he wants to talk.” I reply bluntly before heaving myself off of the comfy bed.

I SWEAR to you that I saw guilt in her eyes for a moment before her face turns into horror. Why would she be guilty? She’s hiding something from me and it’s starting to piss me off now.

“Riley? Are you hiding something from me?” I ask he directly but gently. She looks at me directly in the eyes before replying.

“No why would you ask?” she asks confused. I almost believe her. ALMOST. I shake my head.
