Finding Maze

Chapter 30

Miley pov.

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Stop. It hurts " I said, removing Mikey's hands.

"Well that's what you get if you get into fighting with bad kids " he retorted. I glared at him and clutched his bed tightly as he dabbed the cotton over jaw and all over my cheek.

"You are gonna have a bruise, apart from that, no need for any stitches " he said, as he threw the cotton into the dustbin.

"Thanks " I mumbled.

I sighed and placed my head on the pillow. How did a simple conversation turn into a fight. I was telling him the truth and the next minute we were fighting. I don't even understand why he wants to know about my past, although his doubt of me being an insider is genuine, he needs to fucking believe when I tell him I am not one.

"Miley?"

" yeah? " I asked, looking at him.

"Mac and cheese? " He asked holding a bowl.

"you eat food at two in the morning?" I asked, with a raised eyebrow.

"You barge into other people's home at two in the morning?" He retorted.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head and said" I am a through and through vegan, so I will eat based on the cheese you have used "

"Welcome to the club" he said and handed me the bowl of Mac and cheese.

We both sat in front of his small TV and started watching the Sin City while taking an alternate spoons of the Mac and cheese. Well it's good to say that I didn't pay a single ounce of attention to a movie that I have watched more than hundred times.

My mind was fully and thoroughly occupied by the mess I have to clear, I need to make sure Haze trusts me, I need to make sure Haze doesn't hurt Jenna, I need to make Haze believe me. I need to make sure he doesn't get to know about my past, that he stays way away from my past life.

And to make sure that all my needs are attended, I need to tell him an epic lie story.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Tuesday and Wednesday passed away like clouds during spring. I haven't spoken to Haze or any of the gang members during those two days and today being a school day, I had no other choice than going to school. I used extra makeup products to cover up my bruise and wore matching clothes to make sure Jenna doesn't find it suspicious. Jenna maybe be dumb but she has a brain of a lawyer, runs in genes I guess.

I took out my English books from my locker and slammed it shut and noticed Mikey looking at me. I waved at him as he walked towards me. He stood in front of me, he stroked my cheek checking my bruise.

"It will be gone, I had a good nurse " I said, grinning.

He rolled his eyes and pecked my lips. He held out his hand which I gladly took it and we both started walking towards our English class .We got inside and sat next to Rhodes and William.

"Hey, Rhodes. When is your father coming?" I asked placing my chin on my palm.

He hesitated and looked around the class and then replied "in three weeks. The party is in my house, it's small so the invitation is open for only our group. And since Mikey and you are dating, you are invited too "

"If Mikey and I weren't dating you would not call me? " I asked, with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey, no its not like that. I just wanted to confirm to see if you two are actually dating " Rhodes said chuckling.
