Chapter 7: We're Done!


Maya's POV:

After a week of rehearsals, we're finally going to play at the Mall Show and I'm kind of nervous. Not because of singing in front of a large crowd, but singing in front of everyone with the song I wrote from my emotions. We're in the backstage at the Mall and I'm pacing, while the guys check on their instruments.

"Maya, are you okay?" Zoe asked

I shook my head, "I'm nervous Zoe..." I replied

She hold my shoulders, "There no reason to get nervous...just sing your heart out." Zoe smiled, "I believe in you..."

I hug her, "Thanks Zoe!" I smiled as she and I stared at each other for a moment.

Tristan called us, "Come on guys, we're next!" He said

"Come on let's go!" Zoe said as she hold my hand and I followed behind her.

We're behind the curtains, and we're waiting until we're being called out.


Third Person POV:

The Host came to the stage, "Okay our next performance are kids from Degrassi...give it up for 'The New Beginners'!" The Host announced as the crowd clapped and cheered.

'The New Beginners' came out from the stage and went to their places, "Hello, we're The New Beginners and we'll be singing a song called, 'We're Done!' and I hope you guys like it!" Maya said in the microphone as the crowd cheered. When the band was ready, the music started playing.

Maya: "It started with a kiss,
Then the hug and touch that we miss.
I thought we're gonna make it,
But you end up breaking it."

"I guess that we are over!
And I'm hurting down inside,
But I will feel better,
'Cause I'm stronger!"

Zoe/Tristan: "Just go! We're done!"
Maya: "I hate the way you cause my pain!"
Zoe/Tristan: "Back off! Get out!"
Maya: "I need a lot of strength to gain!"
Zoe/Tristan: "That's right! Move on!"
Maya: "Don't need you running back to me!"
Zoe/Tristan: "Be gone! We're done!"
Maya: "It's time to go our separate ways!"

Zoe/Tristan: "Yeah! That's right!"
Maya: "Don't need you running back to me!"
Zoe/Tristan: "Yeah! Come on!"
Maya: "It's time to go our separate ways!"
Zoe/Tristan: "Yeah!"

Maya: "Why you're still here?"
Zoe: "(Why the hell she's still here!?)"
Maya: "Why you keep on coming back?"
Tristan: "(Get out of here!)"
Maya: "Quit messing my head! Don't explain, just go instead!"
Zoe/Tristan: "(Just go!)"

Maya: "'Cause I'm really getting tired, with all the hurt, the fight and hate!
You said that we belong together, but it's too late!"
Zoe/Tristan: "(You cheater!)"

Zoe/Tristan: "Just go! We're done!"
Maya: "I hate the way you cause my pain!"
Zoe/Tristan: "Back off! Get out!"
Maya: "I need a lot of strength to gain!"
Zoe/Tristan: "That's right! Move on!"
Maya: "Don't need you running back to me!"
Zoe/Tristan: "Be gone! We're done!"
Maya: "It's time to go our separate ways!"

Zoe/Tristan: "Just go away!"
Maya: "Until my pain is gone,"
Zoe/Tristan: "Please stay away!"
Maya: "So I can settle this,"
Zoe/Tristan: "But someday?"
Maya: "I'm hoping that, we can be good friends...!"

(Musical Break)

(Rap)
Miles/Chewy: "The New Beginners in the house!"

Zig: "Because we're done! And I'm movin' on,
'Cause remember that you dump me, you crush me, and then you cheated too!
I could I be, so blind with this!?
When you said you really love me, but it all came down to this!
You're such a witch! A liar! A cheater!
So I'm gonna take, a big fresh breather! WOO!
And now you said you want me back!?
For everything you damaged and the heart attacks!?
I'm sorry Babe, but it's too late!
'Cause we're done! We're done!
There's no turning back, yeah!"
(End of Rap)

Zoe/Tristan: "Just go! We're done!"
Maya: "I hate the way you cause my pain!"
Zoe/Tristan: "Back off! Get out!"
Maya: "I need a lot of strength to gain!"
Zoe/Tristan: "That's right! Move on!"
Maya: "Don't need you running back to me!"
Zoe/Tristan: "Be gone! We're done!"
Maya: "It's time to go our separate ways!"

Zoe/Tristan: "Yeah! That's right!"
Maya: "Don't need you running back to me!"
Zoe/Tristan: "Yeah! Come on!"
Maya: "It's time to go our separate ways!"

Maya: "Oh! Oh! We're done!"

As 'The New Beginners' ended the song, the crowd clapped and cheered their names, "Thank you so much!" Maya grinned as she and the rest of the band went backstage.

"Give it up for 'The New Beginners!'" The Host yelled as the crowd cheered harder.


Zoe's POV:

Wow, the crowd loves us! Even the judges! We're so great that we finally made it in to compete for the Battle of the Bands! As the Mall show is over, we pack up our instruments and Miles' guards grab our instruments to put it in the van. The six of us decided to hang around the Mall for a while.

"I'm hungry, you guys want to go to the Food Court?" Tristan suggested as the four of us shook our heads.

"Well, I'm hungry too!" Chewy spoke up and he look at Tristan, "Tris, I can treat you, if you want?"

Tristan blushed, "Aw! Thanks Chewy!" He grabbed Chewy and both of them just ran to the Food Court without saying anything to us.

"Um...have fun!" Zig said sarcastically, "And now I'm bored!"

Miles looked at Zig, "Dude, you want to go to the arcade? It's on me?" He suggested

Zig wrap his arms around Miles, "You're a life saver! Thanks man!" Zig smiled as he Miles just leave me and Maya alone.

"Wow, they're rude!" Maya commented as we continued walking.

"Eh, let them have their Bromance, and it's only us girls now!" I winked

Maya nodded, "You're right! Us girls time!" She said as she wrap her arms around my waist, "And Zoe?"

We walk to the corner and stop, "Yeah?" I asked as she surprisingly kiss me on the cheek, "What was that for?" I asked with a grin.

"I just want to say thank you again. Ever since the break up, you were the one that's been really supportive to me! You make me feel very special!" She said

"It's because you are..." I said as I hold both Maya's hands, "Maya, there's something I want to tell you for a while now..."

Maya tilt her head, "What is it?" She asked

I took deep breath, "Maya, you're a really special girl, and I wanted to tell you that I..." I was about to tell her how I feel about her until someone interrupted me.

"Maya?..." Someone said as Maya and I turned and we were both shock at the person who is standing across from us.

Maya spoke up, "Tori?" She said with surprise.

I almost didn't recognize Tori, she looks messed up! Her hair looks like it just woke up, her eyes looked puffy, I guess she was crying earlier, and her outfit...she was wearing a grey sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and rubber slippers.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" I yelled at her.

Tori looked at me, "I'm here to talk to Maya..." She said, "...just the two of us."

"Well I'm talking to her first! She MY lover and I won't allow you to hurt her again!" I yelled, standing in front of Maya.

"Yeah, you're just her LOVER! It doesn't mean you and Maya are official!" Tori barked

I was about to push that Bitch until Maya stop me, "Zoe don't...just let me talk to her." Maya said, "Just walk around to cool off."

"But Maya..." I started

"Just do it...please?" Maya said trying to calm me down, "I'll call you to meet me back in 10 minutes."

I gave in, "Okay..." I said as I glared at Tori, who also glared at me back and I started walking.


I continued walking around the Mall and did some window shopping and buy myself a soda. Yet, it still kills me with what Maya and Tori are talking about. It's been 11 minutes and Maya still hasn't called back.

I got myself another soda and drink it eagerly. It's now 13 minutes and still Maya didn't call. Oh gosh, all that drinking and thinking of Maya and Tori and waterfalls, makes me want to pee. So I quickly went to the little Girls' Room and do my business.

After my little business in the Restroom, I look at the time, "15 minutes!?" I said to myself. Maya didn't call me back!? What's going on?

You know what, call or no call, I'm going back to Maya and find out what her and that Bitch is talking about! I just hope that Bitch didn't hurt Maya! I quickly went back to find two people making out in the same place. The two people really made me fantasize what it feels like to make out with Maya like that. It looks so passionate, powerful and it feels like you're in a beautiful moment. When I look at the two people for a while, I realized that it wasn't a beautiful moment for me...it was a nightmare.

I began breathing heavily and slowly walk backwards so they won't see me. As I'm far enough from them, I quickly turned run and kept running until I reach the basement parking lot. The basement parking lot was dim and there weren't much cars, but I don't see any signs of people. I felt tired of running so I fell on my knees between a random car and the wall, and let out a soft cry.

I cried, and cried, and cried until I ran out of tears, I don't think I want to be around anyone now, I don't want anyone to see me like this, so I decided to take the bus home myself. I'm done.


Maya's POV:

(Flashback: About 20 minutes ago...)

I look at Tori like I don't want to be around her, "You have about 10 minutes to talk about anything you want to say to me!" I barked, "And after that, just leave me alone!"

Tori started, "I'm sorry Maya! I shouldn't have cheated on you and I shouldn't have dump you like that...actually at all!" She continued, "Seeing you and Zoe kissed like that made me realized that...don't want to lose you! After that video chat incident, I ended things with Jade and realized I made a huge mistake!" She stopped for a while.

I folded my arms, "You're sorry!? That doesn't explain why you cheated on me!" She argued

"Maya, I'm so messed up! Everything is changing so fast! Moving to New York, going to a new school, being far away from my friends and you...it's hard!" Tori explained, "And ever since we moved...my parents started arguing and they've argued for a couple of months. I thought it was nothing and that they're just adjusting, until they told me that...they're getting a divorce..." She look down and started crying, "It shattered me! The move was a horrible nightmare for me...and my parents didn't pay attention to me while they were filing for divorce..."

I started feeling bad for her, she really look messed up, "Why didn't you tell me about this?" I asked

"I don't want you to see me like this and get involve with my drama." Tori replied, "Things are working better for you...starting a band, your family, getting along with Zoe...I don't want you to worry about me." She sighed and continued, "But I ended up hurting you and hurting myself...I started skipping all my classes, sneaking into clubs, drinking...and that's when I met Jade, she was there to give me 'things' that will make me feel better, then I got blind with Jade's 'affection' that she and I got more intimate and kept doing it, until you found out..." She started crying again, "I'm just...I'm sorry Maya...I'm so so sorry!" She cried

Now that I know, all my anger against her just went away, "Oh Tori..." I gently pull her into a hug as she kept crying, "I'm sorry if I wasn't there to comfort you..."

"Maya, don't say sorry, I made the mistake!" She slowly stopped crying and we let go. She spoke up, "Three days ago, my parents finally divorced and my Mom and I decided to go back to Toronto, while my Dad stays in New York." She explained, "I wanted to talk to you, but you didn't answer. So I noticed 'The New Beginners' are performing at the Mall Show today so I went and check it out...you guys were amazing...and I like the song..."

I sighed, "Um...Tori..." I started

Tori interjected, "I know Maya...the song is about me...is it?" She asked as I nodded, "It was still great and I couldn't blame you..."

Things started spiraling in my head, "Tori, I...I don't know what to say next?" I said

She hold my hands, "Say that you will take me back...I want us to start all over..." She hold my cheek, "I love you and I know you still love me too." She look into my eyes and the next thing I know, her lips were touching mines and she begin kissing me.

We kiss for while, then I snap out of it and let go, "Tori?..." I started then I got lost into her eyes and forgot what I want to say. So I put my lips on hers again and we started making out.

(End of Flashback)

Tori and I started walking together with our hand laced together, "So you forgive me?" Tori asked as we stop for a while.

"I forgive you...promise me you'll never hurt me like that again?" I said with hope.

She shook her head, "Never again, will I hurt you." She smiled as she give me a quick peck, "I love you, Maya."

"I..." I hug her, "I'm just glad we're back together again!" I said as we let go and started walking out of the Mall.
