"Lucas, you had way too much to drink last night!" Maya and Lucas were at it again. All of their friends and Josh were sitting in the living room playing a game of 'Never Have I Ever' when the subject about drinking came up and Maya got mad.
"I was freaking mad okay, I had to get rid of my anger some how." Lucas said . They were sitting across from each other and then Maya stood up and started walking to Riley's room but Lucas got up and stopped her before she could get past the couch. "You can't just walk away from your problems."
"What're you going to do everytime you get mad? Drink? Because if that's the case then I can't be with you." Maya said crossing her arms. Riley then gasped. Riley and Lucas dated before but they were nothing like Maya and Lucas. Maya and Lucas are in love and everyone loves them together, even Josh.
"You're really saying that?" Lucas asked surprised by what his girlfriend of a year and a half had just said.
"Yes, if you can't find any other way of handling your anger then I can't be with someone like that." Maya said. This hurt Lucas a lot. He couldn't lose Maya, if anything she helps him more than the alcolhol.
"Maya," Lucas began but couldn't find the words to finish. Maya then pushed past him and left him there speechless.
"Lucas, are you okay?" Riley asked.
"No, I can't lose her. She's the best thing that has ever happened to me. If I lose her then I will be lost myself." Lucas said.
"Well then go talk to her, tell her that." Riley said.
"I can't, she needs time to herself." He said sitting down at the window seat.
"Lucas you need to tell her." Riley said then walking into her room to go get her.
"Riley don't." Lucas said running it after her.
"Maya, Lucas needs to tell you something." Riley said crossing her arms. Maya was laying down on the bed and then propped herself up on her hand.
"Go ahead." Maya said and then everyone from the living room came running in.
"Riley, I told you I can't tell her. I can't express my feelings." Lucas said trying to walk out when Josh stopped him and turned him around.
"Lucas, talk to me." Maya said sitting up and taking his hands into hers.
"It's too hard for me when it's just the two of us, now we have an audience." Lucas said looking around.
"Then don't look at them, don't even think about them. It's just me and you." Maya said now standing up. "Tell me."
"Maya you have no idea how I will be if I lost you. My life is already broken enough, if I lost you then I would be shattered. If I lose you then I would be lost myself. You keep me together, you're my better half, you know me better than I know myself, you can fix my problem without even knowing what it is by just being there. I can't lose you. You saying that I could possibly lose you if I kept drinking broke me. I've never felt like that before in my life. I will stop drinking, I will start coming to you, you need to understand that." Lucas said.
"You're not going to lose me, I love you way too much." Maya responded putting his face into her hands. She stood on her tippy toes and then kissed him. "I'm here and I'm not going anywhere." He smiled and picked her up and spinned her around.
"I never want to get that close to losing you again." Maya put her forehead against his and then just smiled at the sight of his smile. "Never." She said.
