revenge ✔

MAYA POV

I sigh as I finally pack the last remaining item into my suitcase. Thank god I didn’t buy lots of stuff here or else packing would be a nightmare.

This is it. My last night here. And probably my last night ever seeing Lucas ever again. I have been trying to keep myself busy over the last 2 days and I have ignored him as well. I wanted to make this quick and leave without saying goodbye. And besides, this was my original revenge plan. To leave him unexpectedly to his heartbreak. At least I would be accomplishing something.

I get up off of my knees and wipe my sweaty palms on my thighs. It feels like only yesterday I had newly moved in. I turned my head to look at the time on my clock. 1:30am. Wow it’s that late already?! I need to get to sleep if I want to catch my flight on time….

But do you really want to catch your flight?

I groaned and pressed my finger to my temple. I don’t know if I want to go now but it’s a bit late now seeing as I have packed everything up now.

I wonder if anyone actually does know that I’m leaving. I mean I know I haven’t told anyone but Zay lives right opposite me and is apparently a stalker so I wouldn’t be surprised. What if he figures out I’m moving back to Cali?! He might follow me!

I’m getting paranoid. I just need to sleep. I’m tired and I have a long day ahead of me. I shuffle over to the side of my bed and flop onto it without bothering to get changed. I close my eyes and try to ignore the achy feeling in my chest.

I was leaving him….

I look around my house for the last time. This was it.

I can’t believe that one house could hold so many memories. I shake my head trying to hold back my tears. I need to stay strong and stop being such a pussy. He’s just a guy that’s in a gang. Not to mention he seriously hurt me. He’s no good for me. I need to think of this as revenge.

I reach down to pick up my suitcase off of the floor and take one last glance at my house before leaving and shutting the door behind me.

I hobble over to the edge of the pathway and wait patiently for the taxi to come and pick me up. It should be here any minute now. My eyes trail to the house in front of me. I wonder if Zay can see me right now. Probably. I can see faint shadows from inside the house as I look closer. Yep he’s in there.

As if reading my mind, the door instantly swings open to reveal a rather pale looking Zay storing out of the house in my direction. Shit….

I try to look anywhere else but him but I fail miserably. What if he tries to hurt me? I have nothing with me to protect myself. I had to leave the gun in the house otherwise I would be caught in the airport with it.

“Maya?! Where are you going?!” He shouts at me while walking. I snap my gaze to him and I see him not that far away now. Where the hell is that damn taxi?!

“Nowhere.” I say looking around the road trying to distract myself.

“Don’t lie to me damnnit!” he says frustrated motioning to my suitcase. Wow he sounds a lot like Lucas. Lucas….

Actually, I wonder if Lucas kicked him out of the gang. I wouldn’t be surprised.

“You need to leave me alone Zay.” I say emotionlessly. I was sick of him. Clearly he has been watching over me and it’s extremely creepy.

“No. Now tell me where you’re going.” He says bluntly. I hear the faint sound of screeching tyres from down the road. I quickly flick my gaze down the road to find my ride. Thank god! I smile to myself as I turn my gaze back to him.

“I don’t think you need my help with figuring it out. You’ve had no trouble so far.” I spat at him as I turn on my heel and walk towards the taxi. I feel his presence close behind me as I walk. Fucking hell! Leave me alone!

The taxi stops a few short metres in front of me and I speed walk over towards it. I need to get away from Zay now!

As soon as I reach the taxi I open the door and shove my suitcase in but just as I was about to jump in myself, I felt him grasp my wrist. I spins me around so I am facing him.

“What do you want?!” I snap at him. He sighs frustrated before replying.

“Please don’t go.” He whispers but I see a glint of mischievousness in his eyes?

“And what? Leave you to stalk me for the rest of my life? No thanks!” I hiss at him before yanking my wrist out of his grasp and quickly hopping into the taxi and shutting the door before Zay could try anything else. He stares blankly at the taxi as the driver drives off down the road.

“Where to Miss?” he asks focusing on the road ahead.

“Heathrow airport please.”

I quickly pay the driver and get out of the taxi with my suitcase. It was 12:30 so I had an hour to check, get through security and get on the plane. 1 hour left until I leave this place. I feel a tear slide down my cheek and I angrily wipe it away. I’ve been so good so far, I can’t let my guard down now!

I walk over to the entrance and head over to the check in desks. I fiddle around for my ticket and passport as I walk towards the small number of people queued up.

After a few minutes I found I was in the front of the line. I let out a deep breath as I make my way over to the woman at the desk.

“Hi. I have a flight booked for California at 1:30” I say showing her my ticket. She nods her head.
“Passport please.” She orders. “And please leave your baggage on the conveyer belt.” She adds. I nod and oblige.

After that I walked into security and they did their thing. Before I knew it, I was fully inside the airport with no way out. Shops surrounded me but I was in no mood for shopping. I still had half an hour left until my flight so I decided to head down the airport and try to find a quiet place to sit.

I notice a small bench hidden away in the far corner so I decide to go there.

I plop myself down and that is where I let all of my emotions run free. I begin to cry quietly to myself.

Goodbye Lucas…..

LUCAS POV

“What do you mean she’s gone?!” I snap at Zay.

“I swear man. She just got in a taxi and did not let me speak to her.” He says. Why was he telling me this anyway? I thought he wanted her to himself? I still don’t trust him but I manage to find some truth in his statement.

“No. Maya can’t be gone!” I hiss at him while waving my arms frantically in the air. “Why are you telling me this anyway?!” I add angrily.

He merely shrugs his shoulders.

“I thought I owed you one.” He replies simply. OWE me one?!

“Yeah. Well it’s a little too late for that!” I snap at him before pushing passed him and out through his front door.

I need to stop her before she leaves.
