Sorry for the slight delay, a certain Canadian has had all my attention. I wanted to finish this by Saturday but that probably won't happen. But I'm going to try. This chapter is to all you wonderful Emayans. Enjoy R&R

Emily POV

'I can't do this' I thought to myself as I paced the hallway of Maya's apartment building. What would I think if I came home and Maya was in my house? This is insane, I started to walk back outside but stopped. I have to tell Maya the truth and I have to do it now. She deserved to hear it from me. Before I could give it a second thought I went back and opened her door. Here goes nothing, I stepped in. Her apartment was so Maya, if that makes sense. Their was all these crazy colors but somehow it all came together. She had beautiful paintings hanging all over the place, which I am sure she painted. Sitting on a table by her television was a range of pictures. I picked up one where Maya was standing outside of nightclub in a tight black dress giving her best kiss face. Based on her pictures she had a good group of friends, a lot of the pictures were of the same people. I saw one picture and my face immediately dropped its smile, It was of her and Jenna at a restaurant maybe and Jenna had her arm around Maya smiling. I rolled my eyes and put but the picture in the very back, facing it towards the wall. I decided to be a even more nosy and opened her bedroom door. I peeped in and looked around, It was done in a sexy red, with a gold trim. Across the hall was her art studio. Their was open cans of paint everywhere with a range of paintings on the floor against the wall. I heard the sound of keys in the door and quickly walked out shutting the door.

Maya POV

"Hello" I answered my phone while walking up the steps.

"My where are you" My mom said basically yelling in the phone.

"Well hey, I'm just getting home. Why?" I said trying to steady the bag of plain canvas in one hand, I had to drive all the way to Philly to get.

"Ok good, their is something waiting on you in your apartment" She said hanging up.

Lord, I should have never gave that women a key to my place. She popped up all the time with no kind of warning. I hope she didn't rearrange the place like she did last time. I secretly wished she left me some food, I wasn't the best cook. I opened the door throwing my bag on the couch and shut the door with my foot. I walked further into my place trying to find the damage. That's when I saw the one person who took my heart and never gave it back.

Emily POV

I watched Maya walk into the apartment and I couldn't say a word. She turned finally noticing me, her face paled and her keys hit the floor staring at me with wide eyes. How you ever missed somebody so much that you thought you couldn't possible miss them anymore? Until you see them and then you realize that you missed them way more then you ever thought you did. That is exactly what I felt when I saw her! Maya had aged beautifully. She had put a little weight in all the right places, she wasn't as fragile looking as she was in high school. Her hair had grown a couple of inches, where she usually wore it in soft waves when we were teenagers, she now had it pin straight. I wanted nothing more than to run over and kiss Maya to show her how much I really missed her.

"Hello Maya" I chocked out after a minute of silence.

"Hello Emily" she said smirking after the look of surprise left her face. I couldn't help but smile back, I felt like I was in high school all over again.

"I stopped by your old house and your Mom gave me the key. I didn't want to pop up but she can be-"

"pushy" Maya finished for me smiling. "She always loved you, I'm not surprised. But come sit down, Can I get you anything to drink" She said walking to her kitchen.

"Water is fine" I needed something to calm my nerves, I was pretty much shaking.

"So.." Maya said walking back into the room handing me my water and sitting down next to me on the couch. "How was Danby?"

"It was great, I had a lot of fun" It wasn't a total lie. "I decided to major in English, I got a job offer at Rosewood to teach and coach swimming. I think I might take it. What about LA?"

"It was wonderful, I had the time of my life" her eyes were beaming. "I love it there, but I got a place here too because I get more stuff done here. It's always something to do in LA, it can be distracting"

"You painted all these" I asked looking around the room.

"Yes I did. I sold some of my painting to Spencer and her family last week actually. It was good seeing her. Are all you still close?"

"Yeah, Aria is still in Rosewood she lives with Ezra now and Hanna is mostly stays in New York but we still talk"

"Are her and Caleb still together?"

"Yes he recently just moved up there to be with her"

"That's great."

There was a awkward silence. Tell her now I thought to myself. "Are you still with Jenna?" I blurted out.

Maya looked up at me a little surprised "No we never really together. It was just a fling" I let out a sigh of relief and Maya heard it and smiled, I felt the blush rise on my cheeks. "She wanted to be together, but I couldn't"

"Why not?" I asked, already knowing the answer, hoping I did.

"Because I wasn't over you yet" she said while looking me deep in the eyes. I unknowingly moved closer to her "I'm not sure if I ever did get over you" she said smiling sadly.

"I didn't, I haven't" I said quickly before I could change my mind. "You were my first love, I don't think I can ever get over that you" Maya looked slightly surprised at what I said. She reached over and grabbed my hand looking up at me smiling. I gripped her hand tightly, never wanting to let it go. She looked down at our hands, all of sudden she stiffened. I looked down to see what she was staring at, then reality hit. She looked back at me with sad eyes. "Maya I'm engaged" I chocked out.

Review! Be gentle :)
