I stared at the door wondering who that could be, I slowly walked over and opened it, right in front of my eyes was Luke! What was he doing here?. "Hey Maya" Luke smiled. My parents looked at him with disgrace on there faces, I could tell they didn't like his outfit, "you know him Maya?" My mother asked worried, shit shit shit.. What do I even say to that?. "Eh no, I don't" I said shakily, I felt so claustrophobic. "But Maya, we met.." Luke began to talk with a confused expression on his face, does he not get that my parents are strict and would kill me if I was even to talk to someone like him? "Look I don't know you, I don't know your name and I don't know why you're here" I said slamming the door shut in his confused face, omg I did not just say that.
I started to walk back towards my parents when the door bell rang again, I swear if this is him again, I would be so annoyed. "I'll get it" mum said with an annoyed tone to her voice. I look past my mothers straight brown hair and see Luke. "Hey I didn't get the chance to say it before but I'm Luke, your new neighbour" he said with a cheesy grin on his face, I rolled my eyes. After all I just slammed a door in his face. "Great" my mother said, I knew she wasn't pleased with the new neighbours overall and now seeing what he looks like she's probably even more concerned. "I better get going now" Luke said directly staring into my eyes.
My parents still wanted to talk to me about running away but I'm just not in the mood, "Maya, while you were gone we agreed we will let you study art at Balcatta as long as you promise to not get involved with those boys next door, they're nothing but trouble" my mum said sternly but understanding at the same time. Wait what I can study art! I started crying and jumping up and down, my heart was pounding and all I could think about is how my parents are actually letting my dream come true, I squealed in excitement and sprinted up to my parents hugging them both together, for once in my life this hug actually felt warm and loving. It really did mean a lot to me. After all how hard could it be to stay away from those boys.
It was the morning, and today felt different, the air was pure and the sun was peeping through my silk curtains, for once I woke up feeling happy and refreshed. I ran down stairs feeling free and happy, something made me stop though, I heard my parents talking to someone, "well thankyou so much for finding it, she'll be happy to have it back" my father said politely, I wonder who he's talking to and who will be happy? "No problem sir, tell her to be more carful" he laughed, wait what? Luke, again? Seriously... I walked to the door "Thanks so much Luke" I said sarcastically. "Honey, he's just returned your phone, you shouldn't be so careless" My dad said softly but disappointed, Luke started walking away and I ran towards him, "Luke, my parents are strict and judgmental. Do your self a favour and stay at your house, okay?" I starred at him sternly. "If that's what you want" Luke said walking away.
I grabbed my phone out my fathers hands and ran upstairs into my bedroom, I sat on my bed and saw a text from Ashley -We gotta hangout asap- I texted her back inviting her over, she probably wants a excuse to see 'The four next door' as for me I am not going anywhere near them. I decided it would be a good idea to text Caleb and let him know 'I found my phone' but he didn't reply so I called his phone, it went straight to message bank that's strange normally he's on his phone 24/7, oh well he's probably just busy.
Ashley arrived at my house, looking perfect as usual, as for me I probably looked like a drowned rat. I welcomed her with a big hug and smile, "let's go for a walk" Ashley pleaded, I knew it she's here to see 'the four next door'. "Fine" I sighed as she grabbed my wrist and walked out the door, within 15 seconds of leaving the house we where approached by Michael, "hey Ashley" he blushed, you could see Ashley was over joyed but she's a very confident girl so she went straight to trading numbers, Ashley doesn't normally go for the shy guys but I guess she is this time. "Anyways Michael, Ashley and I have to leave now" I said smiling, I need to get away from this house before Luke comes outside, I can't be bothered seeing him.
Ashley looked at me in concern, "Maya, isn't that Calebs car?" My heart stopped and I sprinted over screaming for help, all I could see was Calebs car crashed into a pole and Caleb lying unconscious, I screamed as loud as I could for help and with in seconds I heard sirens. I started feeling hazy and fuzzy, I felt as if I was on a roller coaster ride, feeling dizzy, tender and nauseous, I knew I was about to pass out. I looked back at Ashleys stressed face and that's when my body gave up, it started crumbling and then I felt myself hit the floor, everything went black.
I opened my eyes and looked around the room, the walls were blue and The floor was wood, I was in someones bed, but I didn't know whose, what am I doing here anyways, what kind of hospital room is this? I heard the door next to me start creeping open, I looked up to see Luke.
