Maya's Hart

Chapter 34

Riley's POV:

My family all went last minute Christmas shopping. As we hopped onto the car, I texted Maya telling her to come over in about 2 hours.

I hated shopping with my parents. They took forever and had to look through every single aisle (yes, EVERY aisle). So as they went looking through the aisles, I walked to the art section, knowing I'll be able to find something for Maya.
--------------------------------------------
Shawn's POV:

She's been gone for an hour. I was extremely worried. She was probably just over at Riley's house, right? I should've just quit my damn job. Then none of this would've happened. I didn't know she would take it so horribly. I didn't mean to hurt her. I just wanted what was best for her.
----

5 hours have passed by. This was bad. Really bad. I called Cory to see if Maya was over at their apartment.
---------------------------------------------
Riley's POV:

I waited patiently for Maya to text back. But I texted her 6 hours ago. She still hasn't came over or texted back. That was unlike her.
----

I waited all day for her to come over or at least text back. Nothing. Maybe she was just busy with Shawn? But no. She made a promise that'd she'd come over every single day no matter what. Maya Hart never breaks her promises.

I laid down on my bed. Still not ready to go to sleep just incase Maya showed up. I heard a knock on my door.

"Maya?" I ask.

"No, it's me." My dad sighs. It was unlike him to sigh unless something was up.

"Come in."

He opens the door and sits on my bed. "I've got some news for you."

"What is it?"

"It's about Maya."

"What happened? Is she ok? Is that why she didn't come over today?"

"I don't know. Shawn called me and asked if she was over here. I told him no and he started freaking out. Maya ran away."

"WHAT? WHY?" I shook.

"Shawn told her he couldn't spend Christmas this year with her because he had a project."

"Why would he-"

"He had no other choice. His boss forced him. Look, if Maya shows up, please tell me." And with that my dad left my room.

I hated this habit of Maya's. Running away from anything when it goes wrong. She's better than that. I know.

I tried going to sleep. But how could I? My girlfriend was out there in the freezing cold night of New York City. I know Maya hated being alone, so there was one thing to do. I decided to go after her. I got off my bed and dressed in something warm. I put on my jacket and pulled out a second jacket, knowing Maya was probably only wearing pajamas.

I climbed down the fire escape and began my journey to find Maya Hart.
