Maya was happy that she could give Zig a place to stay but she didn't realize that living with him would bring up feelings she had thought were dead and buried.

I hope you like this. This is my first Zaya fanfiction so leave reviews but please no fire. I do not own Degrassi just the idea for the story :D

Chapter 1

"You still haven't told Miles that Zig lives with you?" Tristan asked as he, Zoe, and I walked to our lockers at the end of the day.

"I just haven't found the right time to tell him." I explained as we reached our destination.

"It's been a week." Zoe commented rolling her eyes.

"I just don't want him to overreact and get jealous," I sighed, "I don't want him to get the wrong idea."

"And what idea would that be Maya?" Tristan asked giving me a knowing look.

"I don't want him to think I like Zig." I stated closing my locker. I know how Miles feels about Zig and I didn't want him to think that him living with me meant I was going to dump him for Zig.

"Don't you?" Zoe chuckled, "why else would you invite him to move in with you?"

"He's my friend," I argued, "and it was my fault he almost got sent to a group home."

"Whatever the case, you're still going to have to tell Miles that your almost boyfriend is living with you." Tristan stated the obvious.

"I know I just need to find the right moment."

"Right moment for what?" Miles asked joining us at the front doors of the school.

"We're going to go." Zoe awkwardly said grabbing Tristan as the two of them walked away leaving me alone with Miles.

"So, right time for what?" Miles reiterated smiling widely.

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you." I whispered suddenly getting really nervous about telling him.

"What?"

"Um…Miss Grell said that if Zig could find a safe place she wouldn't call Child's Aid…" I trailed off trying to build my nerve up to finish what I was going to say.

"And…"

"Since Katie's in college there's an empty room at my house…" I mumbled still internally freaking out about telling Miles.

"You're not going to ask him to move in are you?" Miles asked his eyes getting wide.

"I knida already did." I stated looking at the ground.

"What?!" Miles screamed causing me to snap my head up to look him in the eyes.

"They would send him to a group home!" I exclaimed back.

"That's not your problem." He pointed out raising his voice even more.

"He's my friend and I wasn't going to abandon him again." I argued before storming off. I couldn't believe that Miles was being so heartless about this. I was still fuming at Miles by the time I got home. I stormed into the house slamming the door behind me.

"Damn, someone's mad." Zig commented from the couch.

"How did you get home before me?" I asked shocked by his presence considering I was always home from school before him.

"I didn't stop to have an argument with your boyfriend." Zig smirked while still having his eyes glued to the TV.

"It wasn't an argument." I argued joining Zig on the couch.

"Look like one to me." He commented still with a smirk planted on his face.

"He was just overreacting." I sighed leaning her head on the sofa.

"About what?"

"You living here." I answered closing her eyes knowing how he was going to respond.

"You just told him today?" Zig asked shocked.

"I didn't want him to overreact so I was trying to find the right time to tell him." I defended her decision.

"Are you sure that is the only reason?" Zig smirked looking over at her.

"Shut up." I replied shoving Zig before making my way up to my room. It was actually not the worst thing in the world having him here and I couldn't believe that Miles didn't understand that she loved him not Zig and nothing would change that.
