Mia paces her room, this was her 10th time calling Clay. Yes, that may have been a bit crazy, but you know what's also crazy? Running away from the cops when you're not guilty! Her door opens and Mia spins around. She looks at her mom and sighs. "Mia, it's time for school. You're gonna be late." She says.

Mia plasters a fake smile on and nods her head. "Okay, thanks mom." She says. Nora closes the door and Mia's smile falls. How could he just leave, after what they talked about yesterday? Did their conversation mean nothing?

Mia grabs her backpack and heads downstairs. She walks out of the house and sighs. She walks over to her car, but stops as soon as she sees Clay standing there.

Mia looks at around and walks over to him. "Mia--"

"Jesus Clay!Mia questions.

Clay inhales. "After What we just talked about yesterday?" Mia shakes her head. "So that whole. 'It's you and me thing'...was that just bullshit?" She questions, a lump forming in her throat.

Clay shakes his head. "Mia, I meant every word I said. Okay? I just...I have to go, they have too much evidence against me." Clay explains.

Mia presses her tongue against the back of her lower teeth. "I'll go with you." She says with tears in her eyes.

Clay shakes his head, but Mia nods hers. "Clay, we can go right now. Together." Mia states. She places her hands on his cheeks. Clay touches her wrists, "Mia..." Clay says quietly, his voice shaking.

Mia exhales softly, she inhales a shaky breath. "Guess there's no changing your mind." Mia bites the inside of her cheek. Clay leans down and kisses her. Mia inhales as she felt the soft yet passionate kiss overtake her. She kisses him back, and grips his shirt near his waist. They separate and place their foreheads against each other's. "This isn't over." Mia sniffles.

"Most definitely not." Clay whispers.

"I love you, Ocean Eyes." Mia whispers.

"I love you, Ocean Eyes 2.0." Clay chuckles. Clay interlocks their fingers, not wanting to let go.

"Clay...it's okay." Mia reassures him in a gentle voice. "I understand..." She gives him a reassuring nod and a sad smile.

Clay inhales, his hand slowly slipping from hers. He grabs his bag and walks away from her house.

Mia gets to school and sees Tyler on the phone. He didn't know Clay wasn't going to be here. She walks over to him. "Okay, but I mean, I was really hoping you and Mia would be here today." Tyler says.

Mia leans against the lockers. "Luckily for you, I am." She says with a smile. Tyler turns to her and smiles softly.

Mia sees his disappointed expression. "There's this assembly." Tyler says into the phone.
