MAYA POV

I groaned and squeezed my eyes together as I woke up. Where am I? I slowly heave my eyelids open and blink a few times to get used to the bright light. I was outside? I soft breeze passed through causing goosebumps to rise on my bare arms. I lifted myself off of the rocky pavement to find I was in a small alleyway hidden away from sight not far from my house.

Yesterday’s memories came flooding back to me. Lucas and Zay in my house. The finding out of Zay's true identity. I slapped him and left. I had walked for ages until I found this small alleyway to sleep in until morning. I was scared I had angered Zay so I wanted to hide away from him.

And Lucas.

I love him. I will happily admit it now. But he’s not right for me. We just won’t work. He’s lied to me and abused me so much and hasn’t even said he was sorry. And it hurts. A lot.

I sigh as I lift myself up off of the ground and brush off the dirt that had gathered on my clothes. Now that I know about Zay and what he is capable of, I know that he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And what he wants is me.

He has already started to try to break Lucas and I up by saying how Lucas hasn’t even apologised yet. I need to stay as far away from Zay as possible but I don’t know how…

He lives right opposite me. I wouldn’t be surprised if he watched me through his window every day. The thought sends shivers down my body. Creepy stalker.

I start to shuffle out towards the end of the alley. My legs feel like jelly probably because I slept in a really awkward position last night. Once I reach the end of the alley, I turn my head left and right to familiarise myself of where I was. I nod to myself before turning left and following the road back to my house.

So I have two options. I stay here and be under the constant threat of Zay. Or I can leave and move back to sunny California and forget about him and Lucas. I can easily forget about Zay but Lucas….

The thought of leaving Lucas sends an achy feeling in my chest. I can’t leave him just because of Zay can I?

Two choices.

California or Lucas?

LUCAS POV

I woke up to the most horrible headache in the history of headaches. Geez. What the fuck happened? I slowly opened my eyes and lifted myself off of my bed a little too quickly. A feeling of dizziness overcame me causing my headache to worsen. I press the palms of my hands to my throbbing forehead trying to relieve some of the pain.

I release out a deep breath when the dizziness finally stops. I yank the covers off of my body and trudge over to my bathroom. I groan when I see my reflection in the bathroom mirror. I huge purple bruise had formed on my forehead overnight. I slowly lift my finger and prod at it causing me to hiss in pain.

The events of yesterday came flooding back to me. After Maya left, I released all of my anger I had for Zay. Saying his name disgusts me. I punched and kicked him so hard I don’t think he will even remember what happened yesterday. He did manage to get a few good hits hence why I have this bruise.

I sigh as I leave the bathroom and go downstairs to grab some Advil.

Maya. The look of pure sadness on her face before she left made me feel awful. How could I not have apologised to her?! Now I don’t even know where she has gone! She just left and told nobody where she had gone. I need to find her. I can’t lose her now. I may have been the biggest dick to her, but I have strong feelings for her that I can’t even deny anymore. I had found out the moment I had told her I liked her too yesterday.
