Not gonna even try to explain why I haven't updated... But here I am again! The weird, crazy Puerto Rican has risen again! Anywayyysss! ON with the story!


Hiro chuckled lowly at her, looking down at her longingly. "Missed me?" He purred disgustingly. Maka closed her eyes and shook her head angrily. "Ho-How did you find me!" She yelled, but then the male clapped a hand over her mouth, making her eyes shot open. "Need to be quiet like a mouse..." He whispered and in the distance, she heard Kid and Soul yelled her name. "And it was easy. All I had to do was watch the music news weekly..." He played with a lock of her hair. She shuddered and sniffled. That's when Soul's and Kid's voices could be heard closer. "You will text me when you get back to your hotel, and not tell anyone that we met up again, or else you'll be sorry..." He said in a ruthless tone as he ran off. Maka knew better than to tell anyone, especially since Hiro beat her and threatened to kill her friends after he found out that she told Liz about how he cheated on her.

Maka wiped her eyes and dusted off her jeans and shirt, fixing her hair as well. Soul was the one that found her first, panting and wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Wh-pant-y you ran..?" He couldn't even speak without heaving like a dog walking through Arizona in the middle of Summer. Kid appeared next to him not too long after. "Nothing... I thought I saw a bunny..." Maka expertly lied, and she smiled. Soul and Kid looked at each other, eyebrows furrowed. "Bunnies...in this part of Texas...?" Kid asked. Maka bit her tongue before pretending to fall over, feeling sick. Soul caught her. "Maka...?" He asked. She whined and lolled her head slowly. "I'm tired.. and I think I partied too hard..." She said groggily. Kid knew something was up but decided not to bring it up as he texted the others about returning back to the hotel.

Soul carried Maka to the girl's room, laying her on the bed. She sighed and rubbed her head. Kid retreated to the boy's room, confused and now thinking about what could've made her act so weirdly. As they waited for the others, Soul brought a cold water bottle from the mini-fridge, handing it to Maka. "So...You and Kid are together..?" He asked, sitting on the bed not too far besides the one Maka was on. Maka's cheeks tinted a dusty pink. "No...Yes...? I don't know... I think it was all just for show.." She looked away from Soul's lazy gaze. Soul smirked and made a humming sound of approval.

"Why would you care anyway? You have Blair.." Maka said sternly, as she looked at him again. Soul rubbed his neck, an act of shame that Maka caught along the road trip to Texas. Right when he was going to reply, Blair, Patty, Tsubaki and Liz came in, Blair being a drunk mess and ended up passing out on top of Soul. The three girls hurriedly made their way to Maka, who smiled smugly at them. They started questioning the girl's actions, while Soul sighed and dragged Blair to the bed, putting her there, not bothering to tuck her in or put the blanket over her, as he walked out into his and the guy's own hotel room.

Time Skip To The Next Day...

Liz woke up to the ruckus of early morning Texas outside the hotel. She stretched and ended up kicking Patty off the bed, who stayed asleep, snoring loudly and hugging her teddy bear close. Liz smiled and walked to the bathroom, but stopped realizing Maka wasn't in the bed with Tsubaki. She looked at the table near the door and saw that Maka's key card was gone. Liz thought nothing of it, as she went into the bathroom, and turned on the shower water. She closed the door -not locking it- and began stripping, sighing happily as she discarded her clothes.

As she climbed into the shower, the air grew thicker with the steam, and she began thinking of how Patty and herself met with this musical fate.

FlashBack:

Liz shook under the bus stop hut, hugging her younger sister tightly to her. She watched as numerous people passed them with their umbrellas, looking their way, but not wanting to get involved. Tears streamed down both the girl's faces, the wind and rain slapping both of their bodies. A young woman walked but caught the girls, and before she knew it, she was walking to them, kneeling down to look closely at the two girls. She had black hair and golden eyes, her complexion quite pale, and her lips a bright red. Liz opened her eyes and squeaked at the sight of the female staring at the two. She pulled her sister back, not wanting her to harm her sibling. The lady smiled slightly and got closer. Liz closed her eyes, awaiting a slap or punch to herself. But, when the lady laid her hand on the brunette haired girl, she couldn't help but smirk. Liz grabbed the female's necklace and pushed her down, letting Patty run away. The fell on her bottom, confused yet still feeling a need to help them. Liz didn't know of the female and didn't care as she kicked her stomach, running away. The female yelped behind her, and Liz heard her sobbing through the raindrops. She made her way to the abandoned house that she and her sister occupied, quickly wrapping her in a blanket. Patty smiled. "We got her good right Sis!" She chirped, and Liz nodded, smiling even though she regretted doing this. But, it was the only way for her and her sister to survive. Their mother had abandoned them about a year ago, and they never met their father. Both were in their early teen ages, but can easily look like younger children. "Tomorrow I'll go to Mifune and ask him to turn it in for cash.." Liz wrapped herself in a blanket as well. Both went to sleep, listening to the rhythm of the mice scattering and the rain pouring.

Liz walked through the streets in her somewhat decent clothes. She had a cap on, her hair hidden and face as well. She was looking down when she walked into someone, her cap coming off and arm scraping on the sidewalk as she looked at the person she bumped in to. "I am so sorry!" A female with black hair that was tied tightly and odd violet eyes apologized, helping her up. Liz snatched her hand away and picked her cap up. The female bowed her head sadly, and right then, Liz saw the hair clip she had on. It was in a shape of an unrecognizable flower, with diamonds engraved in it. "Not your fault..." Liz said in the sweetest tone she can muster. The female looked up and smiled, and Liz's heart twisted so hard, she winced. Never in her life did she felt so much guilt and sadness. But she pushed it aside, and quickly grabbed the female's arm, falling down as if to look like she was about to faint. The female didn't really have a problem with her weight, as she held her up. "You okay...?" The female asked, a glint of worry being caught in her eyes. Liz whined and slowly got up, shaking her legs purposely. "I don't feel well..." Liz said slowly, before collapsing, swiftly grabbing the female's clip and putting it in her bra, lying on her side. "Oh!" The female helped her up, not knowing her clip was gone. Liz shook her head and slowly backed up. "I think...I'm much better now..." Liz said smiling and thanking the female. The girl nodded and as Liz began walking away, she spoke up.

"Is it because you took my hair pin..?"


Terrible right? Ehh... Hope its passable! Love you guys!
