That's Not Her

25. Time to panic

Maia's point of view.

I don't know why I did that. I banged my head on steering wheel again and again waiting outside of my house. Why did I said all those thing in front of those cheerleader. Maybe it was due to the dreamy look Natasha was giving Alec or maybe it was because he called me liar. Perhaps it was a combination of both factors

 I can only imagine how mad Alec would be right now. I didn't even wanted to know reaction of my friends once the rumors start. They probably won't even believe if I told them it wasn't true.They will Believe Alec at least. Mark will also believe Alec  as I was under no illusion this rumor won't get to him, if it already hasn't.

I quickly removed the duck tape on Jace's car. this  was something I didn't feel like explaining to him. Last night was so confusing, it was the longest Alec and I went without flinging insults and accusations at each other. I lied to him when I said Jace was the one who massaged my shoulders to help me sleep. It was Mark who did it for the first time, and then every time after that. Jace probably doesn't even know about this problem. This was the reason I woke up thinking I was with Mark because I slept think I was with him.

I went inside to see clean crew was already half done. I went up to my room and showered quickly so I could find my brother and my best friend. I put on a sun dress and saw Andrew sitting on my bed. 

"Maia! Where have you been? I couldn't find you anywhere last night." He jumped on me to hug me tight.

"Someone's really happy. Did you got lucky last night?" I asked laughing.

"No but I did meet the concert guy again. That's why I came late to your party. I was out with him."

"Thats so great. I am so happy for you Drew."

"It's because of you I was brave enough to tell everyone the truth. Brave enough to call him and ask him out."

"It was all you Drew. Remember that. And I am sorry for yelling at you that day."

"I am way to happy to care about that."

"Woah. Looks like I have to meet him and ask him his intentions towards you."

"Don't you dare scare him. I did being him here last night so he could meet you guys only to find Jace tucking in a drunk Livia into bed and you and Alec were AWOL. And since parkedidnt come I decided to just dance and enjoy. I can't believe you left your own party."

Parker. His name hit me like a truck.

"Sorry. Had something to take care of. How is Parker? Have you talked to him?"

"I did. It's not every day you find out your best friend is gay. He was shocked. More upset that I didn't tell him before."

"I can understand how he feels. Friends shouldn't hide such thing from each other." I said thinking about Liv and her secret.

"I don't think he is ready to forgive you yet." Drew answered my unasked question.

"I know. I don't think I will forgive myself for what I did to him."

"Why did you sleep with Shane?"

"He. He helped my forget. But I knew that whenever any of us wanted to walk awya there will be no hard feeling. He was kind of like me. but Because Parker got dragged into this he is hurt  too." Andrew looked at me with pity. I couldn't stand this look on his face. I wasn't the victim here.

"Anyways that's all in past now. Something bigger is about to happen." I smiled wickedly thinking about the volcano that was about to erupt due to things I said to Alec in front of the gym.
