10 Ways To Get Over Your Ex

A/N: This is my first attempt at a multi chapter story. I'd love to hear your comments/criticism etc. So please R&R! Thankyou, I hope you enjoy reading it! This first chapter is introducing the characters and the situation, I'll post the second chapter as soon as possible.

A small note - I'm British so I spell "rumour," like that, and not, "rumor." Just so you know. :]

Chapter One - Heartbreak

Maya Fey knocked on the wooden door, her heart racing. If the rumours were to turn out to be true, then she was sure her heart would explode. But, then again, that would be impossible, she thought to herself. But wait...the Steel Samurai said in Episode 21, Series 6 that, "If you care so much about someone, then the impossible will happen."

Wait...so maybe her heart WOULD explode? Would Adam, the man who'd caused this combustion of the heart have to clean it up? She didn't want to make a mess on his door.

"Hello...? Maya EARTH TO MAYA!" Adam waved his hands in front of the spaced out spirit medium and laughed quietly. This was one of the reasons why he'd liked her, her ability to switch off from the hustle and bustle of the world and fantasize about...well, anything.

Maya shook her head, and her eyes hit the warm, gentle face of her boyfriend Adam. She instantly smiled, apologized, and let herself in. She breathed in the familiar smell of Adam's aftershave, which was a mixture of...lemon...and wood. An odd combination, but somehow it worked. Very well.

After being handed the cup of tea (with cream and 3 sugars) and after a somewhat awkward conversation on life in general, such as how was Pearl doing, how she was coping with being the Master of Kurain, and whether Adam had decided to study Pharmacology or Health Sciences at Ivy University, Maya remembered begrudgingly why she was here. The rumour she'd been trying to avoid, to block out, but after hearing it so many times she'd decided to tackle it, the one way she knew how to. Confrontation.

"Adam, I've been hearing people gossip about you and Kristina Gavin. If...if...if they are true, please tell me." Maya's eyes glazed over as she desperately tried to hide the tears that were building up in her wide brown eyes. She desperately wanted to hear him say that it was all lies, that he didn't like Miss Gavin, a German woman who had recently moved to California to study Forensic Science and eventually become a forensic scientist, at all, after all, he had her! Surely the unconditional love that he received from Maya was enough. It was enough for her, so why wasn't it the same for him?

Adam sighed deeply and avoided Maya's piercing gaze. He knew the truth would eventually come out. There was no point in lying to her. After all, Maya assisted one of the best defense attorneys in California! She'd picked up Phoenix Wright's way of working his way through testimonies and exposing the truth. He might as well tell her now and get it over with..

He looked up to see Maya with a determined look on her face. Whispering, he said,"I-I'm sorry Maya...you know I love you...it's just Kristina...sh-she's...perfect!"

Maya couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Perfect, huh. That's just perfect. Was she some kind of robot?

Adam continued to babble on about how sorry he was, but he couldn't help it, and that he was so, so, so, SO sorry. However much he emphasized his remorse over it, Maya didn't care. Whoever this Kristina Gavin was, whether she was a robot or not, she could have him.

Maya sweetly smiled at Adam, and stood up to leave for the door. Adam also got up, and ran for the door.

"Where...where are you going? You're-you're not going to leave me, are you?" His face was a mixture between anger and shock.

"Adam, you and Kristina...you'll be good together. I'm sure. She...she's lucky to have you," she murmured, "as I am not lucky enough to be perfect, unlike her."

"Maya! Kristina...she's not who I want! It's YOU I want!" he yelled, panic painfully obvious in his voice.

"What a shame, isn't it Adam, that you're not who I want, and with that, I bid you goodbye. It..it's been fun, Adam. Goodbye..."

And then, without another word, she left, tears streaming down her eyes.

She knew she should call someone. What about Pearly? ...Nah, she never really got over Nick not being her "Special Someone."

Penny? The girl from the Will Powers case who winded up becoming great friends with Maya afterwards through their love of the Steel Samurai? ...Oh, she was away on holiday.

Mia? Except, Maya was too emotionally drained at that time to call her. Maybe later.

Maggey? Maggey was understanding and knew about losing people she loved...except for her he was gone forever. Maya decided to pass Maggey.

Franziska von Karma? Maya shuddered at the thought of even thinking of consulting Franziska about her love life.

Ema Skye was still in Europe until the end of next week, so Maya had to think of someone else.

Then, it hit her like a flash. Nick! Nick lost Dahlia, the woman he truly loved, despite Dahlia not reciprocating his feelings, after that incident at Ivy University and the following court case, where he rather foolishly ate that necklace. She knew he could help her on how to get over Adam. She rushed over almost immediately (of course she needed some burgers to ease the pain of her broken heart) in the hope he'd help her.

So, Maya's newly single! How will she cope? Will Adam try and woo her back? Can Phoenix help her?
