Chapter seven: Excuses
There was silence as everyone looked at each other. Joey was blushing, turning his cheeks red, while Mai was frantically thinking of an excuse. "I. we. were just." Mai stuttered. Tristan smirked "I think we know what you were doing" he said smugly. Mai flushed "It was a mistake, we are not back together!!!" She looked at Joey for agreement "Yeah Tristan, We're not back together, I was just giving her a goodbye kiss." to all but Mai, It seemed True, But when Joey looked at her, she saw the disappointment in his eyes, also something else. "okay, well, we were just wondering if you guys want to go to the park later" "no thanks" Joey said "Later" and they all left, leaving Joey and Mai alone. The moment they left Joey's smile disappeared, "go away" he said dangerously and walked down the hall to his room. Mai didn't listen to the hollow threat and followed him down the hall to his room. She walked in and he glared at her "Joey tell me what's wrong!!!" "My life" was his reply, he picked up a picture of them off his desk and dropped it on the floor causing the glass to shatter "and us, now leave me alone" she didn't leave " Joey, you deserve better than me" "Yeah." he said almost hysterically "This is better" he said indicating his hand "and that" he said pointing to the broken frame on the floor "Why did you have to take away the only thing I loved." he said quietly. "Joey. If there is anything I can do. call me" and with that she left.
