"What are you doing here?" I questioned placing my hands on my hip. This was a bad idea; such a bad idea. I can't do this. I held our gaze. I furrowed my eyebrows slightly as I tried to figure out his expression. Yep, same as usual; not a care in the world. Only cares about himself.

"Maya, hey" he sighed in relief smiling at me. "You look... nice" he smiled as his eyes lingered on my boobs a little too long. But hey, at least my efforts were appreciated.

"Eyes up here" I snarled pointing to my eyes.

"And they're very gorgeous" he smirked.

"What? The eyes or the boobs?" I sighed crossing my arms.

"Well the eyes are gorgeous... the boobs I'd call something else" he sleazed as he began to walk over to me.

"I'm sure you would" I grumbled glaring at the floor. "I think it's best you leave Lucas" I sighed gesturing towards the door.

"Yes Lucas, Maya's had a long flight and she doesn't need any hassle from you right now" Riley piped up placing a hand on his arm. "It was nice seeing you again Lucas" Riley smiled cheerful. That always bewildered me; the cheerfulness. She was always so happy. I mean I know some people put on a front and don't let their true emotions escape, I mean out of all people I should know the most about that. But, she was genuinely happy; ALL THE TIME! I used to think it was a phase, we were; she was so naive when we were twelve. I always figured that she would grow up and realise that not everything was fluffy unicorns and rainbows. She did, but she always has another perspective; always believes in a silver lining. I used to think that was stupid; but really I admire that. My problem is that I'm not open minded, you hurt me, that's it; never fully trusted again. Even if I was to get back with Lucas, I wouldn't know what to do. I'd always question whether it was the truth or not.

"If that's what you really want Maya?" Lucas questioned turning his gaze back to me. His eyes seemed to be almost hopeful.

"Yes, Lucas. That's what I want" sighing I turned around and began to walk away. I could just feel his eyes burning holes into the back of my head. It's hard to believe that someone who once made me feel so comfortable, can make me feel so hurt and vulnerable. Abruptly, I turned around "Not that you ever cared about what I wanted" I mumbled before leaving the room.

"Uh can I help you?" Auggie questioned as I collapsed on his bed.

"Why can't all guys be as sweet as you?" I sighed closing my eyes. Auggie closed his laptop and stood up from his desk.

"They didn't have a good trainer like I had" he laughed as he sat at the end of his bed.

"That's true. Mrs Maya Hart was always made sure you treated a girl with respect but was never a pushover. Then you had Mrs Riley Mathews, teaching you all the trades of romance" I smiled turning my head in his direction.

"I wish you taught me all those things when I was five" Auggie laughed shaking his head.

"Ahh that's right, Little Miss Ava" I giggled. "If she didn't move to a different town she would still be bleeding you dry, but this time not with chocolate money" I said with a huge grin on my face.

"Nah I don't think my mum would have let her stick around this long" he laughed moving over to sit beside me.

"Remember their game?" I questioned crossing my arms over me.

"Oh when mum would pick up her up and put her out on the door step while Ava screamed weee" Auggie laughed.

"You know, thinking back I'm surprised your mum never did that to me" I sighed smiling at my 12 year old rebellious ways.

"As if she would have ever done that, you're family Maya" Auggie smiled. "Well it was that or you were just too heavy to lift" he joked throwing a blanket over me.

"Very funny. What's this for?" I asked.

"Well I assumed your pretty cold since you're wearing, whatever that is" he sniggered.

"Laugh all you want, but it did the trick" I smirked wrapping the blanket around me a little tighter.

"How did it go?" Auggie asked as he walked over to his bookshelf. He grabbed an English textbook and walked back over to his desk.

"I don't even know" I sighed.

"Lucas was always the good guy" Auggie stated shuffling through his messy stacks of paper on his desk.

"I take it that Riley hasn't been in here yet?" I asked curiously as I stood up and began to walk across the room.

"No, why?" he questioned in confusion.

"Because one look at that desk, and Riley would have a panic attack and cover this entire room of disinfectant" I giggled walking out the door.

"Ha very funny" muffled through the walls as I ventured further away from his room.

"How you holdin' up?" Riley asked softly as she patted a seat on the couch.

"Better knowing how good the kiddo turned out" I smiled dropping down on the seat next to her.

"I'm sorry I let him come round when you were here" Riley sighed placing her head of my shoulder.

"Oh it's fine, when have I never been able to handle anything?" I smiled sadly resting my head against hers. I missed this. I missed this family. When I was with Lucas, I thought he made me feel amazing, special, wanted. But the truth was he never truly made me feel any of that. He never truly cared. This family, this family has always treated me as one of their own. Auggie has been the best possible brother I could ever ask for. He's nothing like my half brothers. They're just slimy rich kids who get special treatment from their number one daddy. Auggie's a hard working nice guy. But I guess in this family that hard working trait was kind of a given. They're all dorks. My dorks. I don't even know what would have happened to me without them. I probably would have ended on a street somewhere; wouldn't be surprised.

"It's all my fault" I sighed closing my eyes.

Riley shot up "Maya, don't say that" she said in alarm.

"Ouch" I groaned grabbing my head.

"Riley, he went off to another country and didn't even miss me. He did drugs, he drank; he did all the things he promised he would never do. That wasn't even what hurt me the most, it was the fact that he didn't even care about me while it was gone. I was really sick; did he give that one thought? No. I've always felt that I've never been good enough him. I mean you saw it yourself; he always had all the girls after him, you included. I always felt so worthless compared to them. I have no money, never been good at school; never been good at anything really. I mean who knows how many girls he stared at when he was away with his friends. Even if we did get back together again... how could I ever trust him? I always felt like he never made as much as an effort as me. I just want someone to treat me special. And I don't mean I want romantic gestures, I mean they would be nice, but all I want is to have a boyfriend to text occasionally and it not feel like it's a chore for them to text me back. When I was with him I thought I was the best girlfriend ever. But I obviously wasn't."

"Yes you were Maya" Riley sighed turning to face me. "You were the best thing that ever happened to him" She said wrapping her arms around me.

"Then why did I deserve to be lied to? Before he left I kept pleading that he didn't do anything stupid, he did; and he lied about it. The one thing he knew that was a deal braker for me; lying. I hate liars" I sighed.

"I know, and you have a right to hate them." Riley said. "How about we watch a movie, take your mind off of things a little?" Riley smiled happily.

"Definitely, but no rom coms" I warned pointing my finger at her.

"Understood" riley smiled.

"Oh and Riles?" I smirked.

"Don't go in Auggie's room" I snickered.

"Why?" She asked curiously stopping dead in her tracks.

"No reason" I smirked as I grabbed the TV remote.

"Auggie!" Riley screeched storming away. In the background I could hear gasps and the rustling of papers mixing with the sound of Riley hyperventilating.

"Thanks a lot" Auggie groaned plopping down beside me. Something tells me this movie isn't going to start for a while.
