Author's Note: Hello readers. My computer is broken and I am writing this from my phone so I am sorry if the font or size looks weird I cannot really tell but I wanted to update for you guys so here I am. Just a little recap from the last chapter. Cam and Maya were both at the principal's office, but for different reasons. If you were confused on who smashed the trophy case it was Brook... that is why she asked for Cam's hockey stick from Maya. This chapter is still the same day as the school day. (Friday) And it focuses on the movies. There will be a little run in *hint hint* ;) Other than that it's pretty low key not too much drama. Read, review, and enjoy! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns be sure to PM me. Requests are always taken. Read away! :)

Chapter 13

Maya's P.O.V.

. After detention I rushed home and was glad that the day was over. My homework was sitting in my lap and papers were scattered all over the coffee table. If it wasn't for my plans that night I would be asleep in bed by now. The tip of my pencil was being tapped against the paper and I tried concentrating but it was no use. All that was on my mind was Cam and why he was in the office. After a few more minutes of silence the front door was being opened. The jangle of keys could be heard but I didn't bother looking up from my spot just yet. "There you are. I have been looking for you everywhere." It was Katie. Finally meeting her eyes I spoke up. "Here I am. Doing homework." I said going back to my work and not paying much attention to my sister who began tapping her foot. "Can I help you?" I questioningly asked as she placed her arms on her hips. "Yes actually. You could start by telling me why you were called to the office this morning." Oh not this again. It was enough talking about it once with Simpson. Now Katie too? Sheesh. "Can't you leave me alone? I'm clearly busy doing homework." Going back to what I was doing she snatched my folder and put it on the table. "Hey! Give it back." She put her hands on it to prevent me from getting it. "No. We have to talk, like now." I stood up and waved my hands in the air. "Alright let's talk. Don't waste my time." She proceeded with what she was going to say. "I'm just trying to look out for you. Are you in some kind of trouble?" Shaking my head I said, "No. It was because I got detention for something stupid and forgot to go to it is all. Mr. Simpson just wanted to ask why I wasn't there and I went to it today after school. Not a big deal." Katie blankly looked at me. "Oh." was a she said. "So that is why you texted me, to cover for you?" Not sounding totally convinced I just kept with my story. "Yeah. He wouldn't accept I forgot as a reason. Sorry I just panicked. Did he call you up about it?" Her eyes wandered around the room for a while before she answered. "Uh yeah. I stuck to your story but you owe me big time!" I was willing to do anything to get her to stay quiet. "Okay okay. We can figure that out later." But I could tell she wasn't done just yet. "Maya I know you are hiding something." And there she goes. "No I'm not." I said. Was it really that obvious? "I know you're scared and it's okay. You know you can tell me anything." Sighing I didn't say anything to her that would arouse her suspicions further. "Like I already told you, I have nothing to hide." And that was when she cracked. "STOP LYING! TO YOURSELF AND ME MAYA." Wow I did not know how to react. The words came out of my mouth before I could think. "I HATE it when you nose around in my damn business. Just stay away from me!" I yelled with the same amount of anger. I ran up the stairs with my things, Katie following close behind. We turned towards each other and we glared without saying anything. Soon I spoke up and said, "I hate you right now!" In that moment my parents walked in through the front door and yelled "We're home!" But we ignored them. "Back at ya SIS." Katie emphasized on the word sister. We went to our rooms and slammed the doors leaving our bewildered parents in the hallway.

Tristan's P.O.V.

. Since I was disappointed from learning nothing about what was going on with Maya I decided that this was my second chance. On the way there I would ask her. Maybe she would crack? I could only hope. Nonetheless I hurried in finishing my homework and packed my things for the sleepover at Maya's house. Owen would be taking us there tonight. "Hey Owen." I yelled across the hall. "Yeah?" He asked coming out of his room. "Do you have any ideas about Maya?" I had told him of my theories, well the impotent ones. "No. But..." His voice trailed off and I was curious now. What did he have in mind? "But what?" I asked, trying to encourage him to continue. "Do you know how she got that black eye? I'm not buying her story about tripping over her freaking cello. It just doesn't add up." Abruptly thinking about it I soon agreed. "I was thinking the same thing. She isn't telling us something. And I'm going to try and found out tonight just what it is." Owen looked at me like I grew three heads. "Um Tris, haven't you already tried that? It did not go over so well did it now?" He did have a point. "I have new tactics and sources." He gave me the 'oh really' look. "Okay, tell me about it then." Shaking my head I said, "No you might jinx it or something. But let me ask you this. Haven't you noticed lately that Maya has been avoiding us? And not saying anything about Brook?" Thinking for a while Owen finally replied. "Yes and it is pretty obvious that she still had control over Maya. Tris please find out anything and everything you can from her. This is getting out of hand." Oh I knew that. "Sounds like a plan. See you later." I said going back in my room. "Be ready by 6:30." Owen said. Nodding I went back to my packing and sat down by my mirror and practiced what I could possibly say. Looking back over to the clock I noticed it was already 6:15. Better get ready I told myself and put the outfit that was carefully laid on the bed. Once that was done I put the finishing touches to my outfit and got my stuff in the car, speeding off in the direction of Maya's house.

Cam's P.O.V.

. And there go my plans for tonight. Practice was canceled and the guys were going to some party. But I wasn't one for those scenes. We were supposed to hangout after and grab a bite to eat, and now I was forced to make last minute plans if I didn't want to sit around all alone at home on a Friday night. 'Hey man, want to go to the movies?' I tried texting all the decent members of my team but all of them shot me down because they were already busy or at that stupid party. Ever since the one at Maya's house I agreed it would be a good idea not to go to anymore anytime soon. Once everyone I knew had turned me down I pulled up my contacts list and thought did I really want to do this? It was my last resort, I really didn't want to spend my night doing homework or sitting with the Carson's playing board games and solving thousand piece puzzles. I would normally be spending time with Maya and her friends but that was out of the question. She wouldn't even spare me a passing glance but that was understandable after the way we yelled at each other. It had been four long miserable days since we had broken up and already I missed her. But I knew I blew it with her so all I could do now was wallow away in my own self-pity. Lying down on my bed I looked up at the creamy colored ceiling and made out random shapes and patterns. Taking my phone out of my back pocket for the third time in the last two minutes I quickly scrolled through and clicked on a random name before I could change my mind again. I was calling one of the many puck bunnies number's I had saved in my phone. On the first ring as if on cue an obnoxiously high-pitched voice yelled into the phone and squealed in excitement. It belonged to a girl in my English class, her name was Cinnamon and the only thing she knew was how to pick up guys. "I knew you would call!" She told me. "Yeah, I did. So hey, listen, want to go to the movies tonight?" and without any time to think she answered me right away. "Um yes, I thought you would never ask!" she laughed and I put the phone a few inches away from my ear. Man, what have I gotten myself into? I just wish Maya and I hadn't broken up. Things would be so much different, it would be us going on this date, but instead I was taking some slutty puck bunny. I knew she only wanted to get in my pants and I was in a vulnerable state at the moment and didn't really care. If Maya wasn't mine then what did it matter? Sighing I got up off the bed and threw something on and ran out of the house. Little did I know there was going to be a huge surprise waiting for me at the movies.

Maya's P.O.V.

. I was so thankful that Tristan came to my house shortly after the big blowout between me and my sister. The tension was high and I really needed to get out of that house. Sure I felt bad for leaving my parents who had just came home and were probably confused out of their minds on what just happened. That could be saved for later, right now my mission was to have fun. I was in my room when I heard the honk of a horn. Grabbing my jacket and purse I bolted down the stairs and nearly made it to the front door without seeing anyone that was until my dad came into the hallway. "Hey My, where are you going?" His voice was calm and patient, something I was not feeling at the moment. "To the movies. Didn't I tell you?" I snapped back and instantly felt bad. "No I don't recall. Do you need any money?" he asked me taking out his wallet. "I'm good, I have my own money." I said waving it in front of his face. "Are you sure you have enough for you and all your friends… I could give you at least a 20-" and that was when I cut him off. "NO I said I'm good dad. I have to get going they're here and they are sleeping over after." Without as much as a good-bye or a chance to even reply I slammed the door in my dad's face and walked down the stone path leading out onto the driveway. Everyone seemed happy to see me and I kept silent in the car until we got to the movies. "You okay M? You seem a little off." I shook my head and put on a forced smile. "I'm great. Let's go inside, don't want to be late." I said and everyone exchanged looks between each other but let it go and followed behind me. "Owen will be here to pick us up. Our stuff is already in the back of my mom's van. So we are all set to go. Shall we?" laughing at Tristan's humor I took my arm in his and started walking. "We shall." Everything was going great up until I saw Cam with some other girl at the concession stand. My hands were shaking with rage, and I swear if we were in a cartoon right now you could see the steam coming out of my ears. This was not okay, him dating another girl like 4 days after we broke up. I didn't think he would move on from me that fast. Or was I the only one hurting? As soon as the others notice him too Tori tried pulling me away from there. "It's okay we don't need snacks anyway." Zig spoke up shortly after. "Um speak for yourself I need food." Tori elbowed him hard and the ribs and he yelped out in pain grabbing at them and bent over in pain. "Okay I'll shut up now." I appreciated what they were doing for me but they didn't need to stop on my account. "No it's okay, you don't have to stop because of me. We were bound to run into each other sometime soon. I'll be okay I promise I am so over him anyway." As if that wasn't convincing enough the guys bought it but Tori was right through me. "Are you sure?" with her hands crossed over her chest she looked hard at my face to read my facial expression. "Yes I swear." Nodding her head we made our way in the back of the line and began talking amongst each other. When I felt someone tap me on the shoulder I turned around and was disappointed to see Cam and his puck bunny date. "Hey Maya can we talk?" Tori pushed past me before I had any time to react. "If you think you can just come here and talk to Maya you are wrong, you hurt her once, I'm not going to let you do it again." By the end of her little threat she was not even two inches away from his face. "Calm down Tori." I said trying to hold her back. "And you…" she began saying to the strawberry blonde. "Okay that's enough." I said knowing she might do something she would regret later on. "Let me handle this." Shaking her head she stepped forward. "Maya no!" her eyes grew wide but I ignored her. "I said I can handle it. You guys can go ahead and buy snacks, I'll meet you in the theater." I could tell Tori wanted to protest but didn't bother. "Fine. But I am watching you, like a hawk Saunders." With that Zig and Tristan grabbed a hold of each of her arms and dragged her away. "Let's go." I heard Zig saying behind my shoulder as he tried keeping his girlfriend under control without much success. "Sure we can talk as long as you get rid of that thing." I said pointing to the girl who was clinging onto his arm for dear life. "Let go of my arm." Cam all but begged and he pried her off of him after a minute or so. She took a few steps back and put a hand through her hair trying to be smooth and cool, which wasn't really working out for her. "Hey." He said once we were alone. Turning around I got straight to the point. "What do you want from me?" I asked feeling angry. So all of a sudden he wanted to talk to me and make things right? He was not going to get off that easily. "I just wish you would tell me what's really going on with you. Like why are you cutting? I saw you in the bathroom today at school. Can you explain that?" For once I was at a loss for words. "That is none of your damn business anymore. I don't need to tell you anything." Cam was clearly shocked by my response. His eyes held desperation and hurt but I was too irritated by everything to really notice or care at the time. "Please Maya. I know this is eating away at you just as much as it is me. I want to help you." He took a hold of one of my hands but I yanked my hand away and took a step back. "You lost that right when we broke up, don't touch me. And I'm only saying this once again, nothing is wrong. So don't make me repeat myself." But he didn't stop, if anything it seemed to encourage him and he kept questioning me. "I know you're mad at me about our fight. I was too but can we just put it behind us and talk? Please, that's all I ask." It didn't seem like he was asking too much, yet what he wanted to know I couldn't tell him. "Sorry but my lips are sealed. I can't tell you anything." Cam stepped even closer to me, a little more than my liking, still I didn't push him away this time. "So there is more? I knew it! Come on just tell me." He didn't give up so easily. "I already told you I can't. If I could you would have known about it weeks ago. Now just leave it alone." Shaking his head he took another go at it. "But that's the thing, I can't. If you are in danger I have to protect you, it's my job." I scoffed at his remark. "No it's not your job, you aren't my boyfriend anymore." Looking away after I said that he whispered, "I wish I still was." And that is when I really lashed out at him. "Yeah well I don't! We all want things we can't have, don't we now?" My patience was running low and I just wanted to go and see the movie. "You don't mean that." He said. "Oh but I do." This was escalating to a new level of intense. Normally I would never say anything like this to Cam. Something had just gotten over me. "I just want things to go back to the way they used to be." In my head I said 'me too' but I didn't dare say that out loud, I didn't want to give him any ideas or hope. "Well I have to get going." I said awkwardly scratching the back of my head. "Does it have to be this way?" He asked but I could tell he already knew the answer to that. Without another word I just nodded my head and began walking away. A tear rolled down my cheek and I stopped to grab a tissue out of my bag and wiped it away. I felt his eyes on me the entire time but didn't stop and kept walking towards Tori. By the looks of it the guys went in to find us seats. When I reached her I still had some tears running down my cheeks and quickly wiped them away hoping she wouldn't say anything. "Did that ass hole make you cry? Because if he did I swear to god I will go over there and whoop his ass so hard he sees stars and yells for his mom!" and this was my best friend controlling her anger, you would never want to see her really mad at you, it just wasn't a pretty sight. "I'm fine." I said through gritted teeth and took a hold of her hand and ran into the dark theater before she could say anything else. We found our seats in the top middle row and sat down. "Hey you okay champ?" Tris asked and I nodded my head gladly taking the popcorn bucket from his hands and digging in. To no avail I saw Cam and his date walking in and they sat in the row above us. What a coincidence. It was like he was following me now. I tried my best to ignore him and paid attention solely to the movie. It was really interesting and from time to time I could feel his gaze land on me at funny or sad parts. Some of them were such a surprise I screamed and dug my nails into Tristan's arm who did the same with me, we held onto each other like our lives depended on it. Once the movie was over we got up taking our belongings with us and outside where we saw Tristan's mom's van parked waiting for us. One by one we piled inside the car and laughed about the night's events. The only thought I had was my conversation with Cam and how I said things I didn't mean. By the time we were at my house I was exhausted and just glad to be in the comfort of my pajamas. We didn't end up going to sleep for another few hours since it was still pretty early. When we did end up going to sleep my last thought was about what Cam said, about wanting things to go back to the way they were before. I wanted that too but wouldn't admit it out loud to anyone especially after the things I said and my friends hated his guts so they didn't want to hear it either. I was stuck on what to do and just let some of the tears I was holding back earlier out. The next morning I woke up my pillow would be tear stained and smudged make-up. So much for a night of forgetting things.

Author's Note: Hey guys I know that sucked and I'm sorry I will make up for it tomorrow. I am just really tired since I have been taking MCAS (some tests for those of you who don't know what that is) the last few days and I wrote this pretty quickly. It was more of a filler chapter then anything but I felt you waited long enough for something and this came to mind. I'm not very happy with the way it turned out but hey, at least I tried and managed to post something tonight. Hope you don't hate me for not updating in so long it's a long story. Anyway read, review, and enjoy! Goodnight. (;
