So Close But So Far

two could play at that game

Maya's P.O.V.

It was about half eight now. Adrian's house was absolutely packed with people.

Jayden had come with Ashely about an hour ago, I hadn't said hi to them yet.

I was talking to Lora Cohen, she was telling me about some apartments in London.

"There's a really good apartment in the same building I'm living in. I know you'll love it," she told me.

Lora really wanted me to move to London.

"I don't know," I hesitated.

"Come on, it's not like there's anything left for you here anyways," she persuaded me.

"You can start a new, fresh life. Doesn't that sound amazing to you?"

"I need to think about it," London didn't seem like a bad idea, but I needed some time to think about it.

"Of course! I'll be leaving next week so I'll be asking you then," she warned me.

"I'll have my answer ready by then," I assured her.

"Wait, what about my car?" I asked her. I needed my car.

"We'll go in your car instead of a train then," she shrugged. "We can take turns driving. London isn't too far."

"Okay," I nodded. "But let's forget about that. I'm not even sure that I want to go yet," I laughed.

Hudson's P.O.V.

Adrian had been bitching about Nick all night long, repeating the same story over and over again.

Amelia had been driving everyone nuts, like usual.

Ariana had been non stop drinking and arguing with Amelia every two minutes.

Nick had gone home, complaining that he had a migraine because of them.

Zack was upstairs taking a nap.

Holly was drunk, Jackson was tipsy.

Maya was busy chatting with Lora, I was curious to know what about.

And cap boy had also made his way to the party. But he was hanging around with a red head so my heart was kind of at peace.

Jackson was going to cut the cake but Holly began puking so he had to take her to the bathroom.

I was sat in the backyard, Maya would look at me every so often but she wouldn't make a move to come speak to me.

And then the worst idea ever came to mind. At the time I thought it was genius but then I realised how stupid it was.

Wanting to get a reaction out of Maya to see if she really did want to be just 'friends', I pulled a random girl who was walking by onto my lap.

"Hi, handsome," she said, her eyes were bloodshot, hair messy. She was definitely drunk, her breath smelt of alcohol.

Instead of replying, I quickly moved my head to see if Maya was looking.

She was.

But instead of coming up to me, like I wanted her to, she went inside.

I pushed the girl off my lap, going after her.

Maya's P.O.V.

What the hell was he playing at?

It was so obvious that he was trying to make me jealous.

He literally looked at me straight in the eye to see if I was watching.
