ZIGS POV:
What am i going to wear tonight? I feel i shouldn't even be asking myself this question because i know I'm going to be somehow wearing all black. There is nothing wrong with black either, so screw anyone else's opinion on it. This party is suppose to be this huge ragerr that the majority of the school is going to. I normally wouldn't be that into it but Maya seemed to really want to go and i don't see why not. I don't plan on staying that long because i know i have to meet up with Vince later to do some jobs for him. I really hope Maya doesn't figure out why I'm leaving or somehow ends up following me because she knows I'm up to no good. Sometimes i do like that about her, how she just pushes the limits to things but other times i just wish she would not get so involved all the time. I wonder what happened at her meeting or if she actually went to a meeting that is.
Mayas POV:
Okay so i lied about this meeting i was going to earlier. The truth is i found out about Zig being involved with the gang again. I somehow managed to keep things in a calm matter because i didn't have a choice but to be completely mutual about it because if Zig found out what happened.. he would completely lose it. I already had a feeling something was going on so the other day i met up with Vince and he promised me that Zig would be out if idid some things for him.. Not for him but just some drugs and a "fun night out" type of thing. I got dressed up today because i was suppose to go out but this huge party tonight happened and I'm also so scared. Maybe this is a set up but i swear whatever happens tonight.. I can't lose Zig. I just can't.
[At the Matlins house]
"Hey.. how did that meeting go earlier today?" Zig asks Maya
Maya is fumbling around with her purse trying to avoid answering this question somehow. She can't even look at him because she feels so guilty as it is. Flipping her hair over her shoulder and biting on her lip, she manages to get something out.
"Oh it was great, thanks. I'm just going to get ready for tonight, i need to freshen up." Maya responds too quickly.
"Don't be too long because Grace should be here any minute." Zig yells up the stairs.
He is suspicious of how she is acting but doesn't look too much into it because Grace is outside already.
Maya comes downstairs looking even better than she did before. Her confidence is showing strong but deep down she's a nervous wreck because anything can happen tonight.
They both proceed outside to Grace's car.
"Woah blondie.. lets talk about dressing up." Grace turns around staring at Mayas ensemble
Zig stares over trying to not make a comment about it because he's been trying to not drool over her for another second. Their eyes glance over at each other once and Zig can feel his hands getting clammy as he rubs them on his black jeans. Maya gives a warm smile and turns her head away staring at the window.
They arrive at the place and its absolutely gorgeous., The house has 3 stories and a huge backyard with a hot tub, a pool and awesome twinkly lights hanging on the back porch. Everyone from school is here, having drinking games in one corner and girls taking shots with randoms. Then you have the smokers hot boxing the basement. Yes, even the basement is awesome because its a black light room. The dancing is so contagious, the music is flowing through everyones veins. Some girl pulls out paint and is squirting the bottles all over the place. She is laughing and pulls Zig over to her as she begins to dance with him. He is a little taken a back from the impulsive gesture but he goes along with it. Grace goes over to the kids lighting up bongs and taking out glass mirrors on the table in front of them. Maya is standing in her place with her arms crossed taking in everything. She is staring at Zig dancing with that short brunette with theses high waisted shorts that are nearly riding up her ass. Maya starts to become flustered but doesn't understand why so she decides to go upstairs to the bar on the patio.
The guy behind the bar is some senior who looks jacked up on all sorts of things. Maya goes around back of the bar to take a bottle of flavored vodka. Usually she wouldn't be getting drunk like this but after all the stress with Zig and the gang she needed a little something extra. Her attention is drawn back to the gang. What if Vince shows up here? how is she going to get away with meeting up with him when Zig is going to wonder where she is. Maya cracks open the bottle and is looking around for some shot glasses but doesn't stress it because she is taking it straight from the bottle.
"Maya Matlin.." a voice from across the room nearly yells
She turns around and sees Miles waving her down. Maya walks over with her bottle in one hand and carrying her bag in the other.
"Drinking tonight?" Miles asks with a smile.
"Yeah i mean i guess it doesn't hurt to have a little fun." she replies shrugging her shoulders.
Maya is staring at the ground thinking about the past few years and how so much has changed. She tries to shake her thoughts because she wants to forget everything and not feel so much. Plus Miles is staring at her so hard that she can feel it.
"Do you want to play beer pong? Im pretty sure you would be good on my team." Miles asks
"Ugh yeah sure why not." Maya replies
They go into the other room where kids are surrounded by tables of different games of beer pong going on. There are so many sloppy drunks and make outs sessions going on in almost every corner of this room. Its like one those crazy parties that you only see on tv. Maya starts to feel lonely and traces along the rim of her solo cup sitting on the table as she spaces out.
After a few rounds, Maya is feeling pretty drunk but she is coherent enough to know whats going on. She's laughing and twirling around as she dances around the room.
She feels a tug on her skirt and turns around to see Zoe annoyed and frustrated.
"Have you seen Zig? I have been looking for him and i can't find anyone here.. We need to talk." Zoe says with a sour expression on her face.
Maya looks a little confused because she doesn't know what Zoe is talking about and figures there is trouble in paradise.
"No.. i mean the last time i saw him he was with this girl but i mean.. i-i think that was awhile ago." Maya just barely gets the words out of her mouth.
"Your no help.. this party is going to get busted for sure, we need to get out of here." Zoe responds nervously.
"Don't even sweat it Zo.. just let loose a little." Maya laughs
"The last time i let loose.. i ended up getting raped remember.. " Zoe answers annoyed.
"Fine.. i'll go find Zig." Maya finally says.
Maya gets out of the room and is passing by a bunch of random strangers at his point. She can't tell whether the music got louder or if the alcohol is kicking in ten times more than it was before. Not sure of where to look first, she figures her best bet is to go back down the basement. On her way down, the music is turned off and its pretty silent. The bathroom door is flung wide open and the room reeks of smoke. Slowly approaching the door, she finds Zig in the bathtub leaned over the sides. He seems wasted out of his mind but once he sees Maya hovering over him he starts to rub his eyes.
"Oh.. hey there." Zig pulls Maya into the bathtub.
"Oh my gosh are you serious? what the hell are you doing in a bathtub." Maya laughs so hard she almost can feel tears coming out of her eyes.
"Honestly.. i don't even remember how i got here but id say it was a bunch of us filling the bathtub and having a mini hot tub party." Zig responds.
There is a moment of silence as they stare blankly at the window in front of them. Maya goes to lay her head on his shoulders and starts to sigh heavily.
"Is there something wrong?" Zig asks.
"Zig.. Why do things have to be so confusing. I mean just life. Why can't everything make sense." Maya quietly says.
He feels this warmth in his chest and he wants to lean in a little closer but knows that won't do anything.
"I wish it was Maya.. but thats just the way it is, but i do need to tell you something." Zig says
"Zig i know your in the gang again." Maya blurts out.
"What.. What do you mean, how did you find out and why didn't you say anything, aren't you mad." Zig's face turns red and starts to get nervous.
"I kinda met up with him." Maya turns her head away and feels tears starting to form.
"Maya why would you ever meet up with Vince? How is more of the question." Zig starts to raise his voice he feels anger building up.
"Zig.. i don't want you to get hurt… I needed to meet up with to see what can be done." Maya softly says
"Nothing can be done.. and i don't want you getting involved .Maya you could get hurt.." Zig yells
No one says anything for awhile and you can hear a soft cry coming from Maya. She slowly starts to get up but Zig pulls her back down. He turns to her and leans in to kiss her but she resist at first.
" I can't lose you, don't you see that." Maya says with anger.
Zig is slightly confused because he doesn't know why she cares this much. He knows that they are best friends but he's starting to think that there might be some feelings that have been repressed. There just has to be because he doesn't buy for a second that Maya doesn't feel anything more than friends at this point. He just knows that something is there, that thing that has always been there. If she would just let it happen instead of resisting and playing these games.
He takes his hands and wraps them around her waist pulling her in closer to him. Maya is so exhausted that she doesn't have the urge to fight anything so she sinks in. That's when she has this urge to tell Zig how she feels but she can't explain how she feels because her feelings are never certain. At this very moment she can't help but feel comfort. Why does she feel like she is on a high that cannot be contained? Thats when Maya decides to do something bold. She gets out of the tub and drags Zig behind her. There was a room in the basement that was somewhat secluded from the rest of the place. It had a huge bed with tapestries along the walls and a bunch of candles with blue colored lights dangling along the bed.
"Why are we in here?" Zig asks with a smirk.
Maya pulls Zig in and starts to kiss him. He doesn't hesitate to kiss back not one bit. The kiss becomes deeper when she nearly pushes him on the bed. His hands are traveling along her thighs as she sits on top of him.
The breathing is so heavy between them that they nearly can hold themselves back. They break apart for a second and Zig has his eyes locked on Mayas. He wants to say something but instead he pulls her back in and starts to kiss her neck slowly going further down. Maya goes to unsnap her bra and feels a rush of blood going to her head. His mouth nearly drops and he takes a gulp trying to not make himself look like a amateur. She presses against him and looks him dead on in the eyes.
"Remember when you said you'd wait for me?" Maya softly speaks
Zig feels his heart pounding and can nearly contain himself because he wants Maya so badly.
"Well.. I'm yours." She finally says
