MAYA - The Wallflower

THE KISS OF LIFE

Maya's pov.

I trudged down dark alleyways with neon club lights blinding my eyes.

I turned the other way watching girls be relentless towards their own schoolmates knocking bodies against the crumbling inferior of abandoned shops, the council glass vibrating with every sound of twisted pleasure.

I dragged my withering feet against the cobbled roads immersed in dust, grime and vomit. I could feel my shoe suctioned to the floor,chewingum peeling away at the bottom. I'm exhausted.

Remembering Jin's words before i left.The shock

Flashback.

"Maya, kirencho" he breathed his eyes darting from me to his pockets. "No wonder he paid me so much." you could just about listen to a pin drop and roll across the riiged flooring as i stared into the face of a liar. "What do you mean PAY?" I yelled.

Jin's eye's were glased in self guilt and fear. "L-Lev rescued- you -and um-paid.Paid me to keep-you safe, and uh- paid- paid me extra to not let you know , cause he was concerned you would, be-be er mad?" He stuttered.

My eyes gaped at this loser. Lev saved me. i'm the idiot.

And with that i ran. tears streaming down,

i wouldn't be mad at you , you big dummy

End of Flashback.

"Baby girl, why don't u come with us." Someone dressed in black cloth covered with brown tattoos and yellow punk hair jumped in front of me. He smelled like death.
"She looks like she could do with a bit of fun." Someone chimmed in from behind me. A skinny frail guy who looked just over 20.

"Go away, i'm not in the mood" I sigh

"don't make me kick your ass."The man smiles at me.
"Speaking of asses" Before i can pull away he grabs my arms twisting them down to the wet pavement. I held my breath in disgust. The floor smelled just like piss. "What a fine specimen these are."

He admired my behind before twisting me round to my front. "gorgeous" He exhaled his friend nodding in agreement."She's quite the looker, well for a mixed girl at least.
"you despicable trash" i snarled footing him hard in the groins.
"OW!" "  My heel slams against his arm drawing bruise. "get off me!"

i whipped underneath him his arm cracking it with my fists. He growled as i kicked his head into the pavement watching his little sidekick speed away. Some friend. "Don't be racist honey, hate everyone equally." I laugh back

-

I slowly walk towards the train station, its dim yellow lights signalling it's still open. Lightbulb.
My purse explodes onto the diner table, makeup and spair phones flying. Where is my pass??

The faint disco lighting wasn't helpfull either.
Concealers, money, lipsticks rolled around like spinning tops. My head swirled faster in confusion.
"NO!" I can't go back to jin's. I can't walk to Ayato's spair property. Kisuna and Haruh are away.

If i call my sister she'll tell dad and mum my whereabouts. If i use my golden cards for money then they can track my whereabouts. And lev. "You ok love?" Some cleaner at the opposite table ask with pitiful eyes. I close my own to stop the tears rolling down. "i'm fine miss." That idiot's got in my head again.

Maybe it's for a reason?

silent sobs came in vain. No answer. No reply. No response
