I'm back. Couldn't take forever to update. Thanks for reviews, peeps.
And no, my computer is NOT fixed.
It was a good kiss until someone cleared their throat, firmly.
Tori.
"Maya. Shouldn't you be in class?" Tori asks her.
"Shouldn't you?" Maya snaps. Cam gives Maya a wave and walks off.
"I need to talk to you, actually. And Cam can't hear it." Tori says.
"What is it?" asks Maya.
"Zig." Tori whispers.
"Why are you whispering?" Maya asks and gives a small laugh.
Tori scoffs and sits down.
"What I wanted to say is...ever since you...told me about Cam's suicide and...everything. I've had these feelings and..." Tori began in a soft voice.
"What does this have to do with Zig?" Maya asks, impatiently.
"You need to be with him." Tori answers.
"Why?!" Maya exclaims.
"Because I like Cam!" Tori shouts back.
Maya looks down at the floor.
"Cam? You want me to be with Zig just because you want Cam? I don't think I like Zig." Maya says.
"Come on, Maya. You know you love Zig. Admit it."
"I don't."
"You do."
"Okay. The truth is...I love Zig with all my heart...in that way. But Cam...I love him...maybe more." Maya admits.
Tori bites her lip to keep from crying.
"Cam has always looked at me weird and I've been thinking he's cute." Tori says.
"Tori!" Maya yells.
"Sorry. But...you don't love Cam. You just wanted to see him since he was dead. Pity, that's all." Tori says.
"I can't believe you would say that! I love Cam! I need him! Not Zig!" Maya shouts, tearfully.
Tori sighs.
"Face it. You don't love him! He died and you couldn't move on, so you made some retarded wish and we both know it's true!" Tori exclaimed and shut her eyes tightly so she didn't cry.
Maya knew it was true. She did love Cam, but she didn't know what that love was now. All she did was make a wish. Tori was right. Maya couldn't move on and get over Cam's death. So she wished to go back to the last time she saw him.
Tori was right, but Maya wouldn't let her have the last word.
"I'm breaking up with Cam, anyway. He's not stable. It's only a matter of time before he freaks and hurts somebody. Or himself. I called his parents and they're flying out in, like, two weeks. Until then, I need to break up with him and help him out." Maya explains.
Tori stays silent.
"It really sucks, though." Maya begins, "I thought we could finally be friends. And what goes around comes around. I wanted your boyfriend...and now you want my boyfriend."
"Maya, it's not that I don't want to be your friend. I just like Cam and I want you to admit that you don't love him like I do." Tori says.
"Like you do?! I'd rather die than not be with Cam!"
"Then why are you breaking up with him?!"
"To help him! I'm waiting for him!" Maya yells and then bursts into tears.
"Detention." a voice says.
They look up to see Principal Simpson.
"Sir, Maya dragged me here to..." Tori began to lie.
"I don't care. One week of detention, Tori. Maya, I'm calling your parents. You have one month of detention." Simpson pronounces.
Maya storms off instead of arguing. She finds Zig, sitting by a tree and sits next to him.
"I'm text-dumping Cam. I can't do it face to face." Maya says, typing away on her phone.
Zig yanks the phone.
"He'll just kill himself. You need to consider his feelings." Zig says.
Maya kisses Zig. That's all she needed to do. Kiss him and everything goes away. Cam. Being grounded. Tori being impossible to reason with.
It's easy with Zig.
When Zig pulls away, he takes time to think.
"You need to plan out everything before you try to be with me. Dump Cam, get him help, and then we can be together." Zig says.
"Okay. I'm breaking up with him later. My parents won't be home and it'll just be Katie and I."
"You'll thank me later. Sometime life gives you lemons and you can't make lemonade." Katie says as she and Maya do the dishes.
"Yeah, yeah. I hear you." Maya mumbles.
"Good. When Cam comes, you have ten minutes. I'll be downstairs." Katie says and dries the last dish. Then skips downstairs.
There's a knock on the window. Maya opens it and Zig falls in the house and onto the floor.
"Get out. Cam's going to be here in like five..." Maya began, but was cut off by a knock on the door.
"Hide." Maya whisper-shouts. Zig runs and hides behind the couch as Maya answers the door.
Cam walks in.
"You wanted to talk?" Cam asks and sits down. Maya sighs and sits next to him.
"Yeah. Listen. I just...I need space. I can't be with you and try to pretend I'm happy. And I am happy. I just don't think you're in a good state of stability." Maya explains.
"I'm stable! Are you dumping me for Zig?" Cam asks.
"No, well, yes, but...yes. In a way. You'd call me crazy if I told you." Maya says.
"I need you. You're the only person..." Cam begins.
"Zig...is...it's not hard with him. I have feelings for him no more than I have feelings for you. You need to get better. You are sick." Maya addresses.
Cam is silent.
Zig coughs.
"Idiot!" Maya laughs. Zig gets out of his hiding spot and laughs with Maya.
Cam clears his throat and Maya gets back into reality.
"It's over, Cam. For a little. I don't choose Zig over you. I do, but...if you got help, you'd be a ten. Zig would still be an eight." says Maya.
"What am I now?" asks Cam.
"A ranking? On a 1 to 10 scale?" Maya asks.
"Yes." Cam answers.
"Four. As far as stability. If you got that together, then you know you'd be a ten." Maya says.
"I don't care. Tell me what I'd call you crazy for." Cam says.
"No. I can't." Maya says.
"It's over, dude. Just drop dead." Zig says.
Cam starts shaking and his eyes look unfocused.
"Zig. Must you upset him?" Maya asks.
"What the hell?!" Zig asks, as he watches Cam fall to the floor.
"He's having a freaking seizure! Do something!" Maya shouts.
"Call the police!" Zig shouts.
Maya turns her phone on.
"Loading." she mutters.
"I'm sorry." Zig says.
"About what?" Maya asks.
"Saying Cam should drop dead." Zig says.
"It's true. If he were dead, we wouldn't be going through this right now. But Zig...I still love him." Maya says.
"More than me?" Zig asks.
"Equally. Maybe more with Cam. Or more with you. I don't know." Maya says.
"Maya." Zig says.
"Yeah?" Maya answers.
"Call 911."
"Oh yeah, right." Maya says and dials it. But she hesitates to hit 'Call'.
"Call!" Zig shouts.
"I...I can't. It's better if he's dead. I don't have to deal with any of this anymore!" Maya shouts and starts crying.
"Maya. He'll get the help he needs if you just call." Zig says.
He hugs her and then kisses her. Zig pulls away and Maya watches as Cam still shakes.
"Press it." Zig demands.
"I can't! I can't do it! I'm torn between everything!" Maya yells.
"Maya! Press it!" Zig shouts.
"No! No! I wanna be with you!" Maya exclaims at the top of her lungs, accidentally pressing "Call".
"911, what's your emergency?" the operator asks.
"I choose you. I can't answer." Maya says, softly. Katie comes up the stairs.
"What's all the ruckus?" she asks.
"Nothing." Maya says to Katie. To Zig. "I choose you. I love you and I made a mistake with that wish. I miss Kat...and Jaxon. I miss us. The older us. Who were happy with each other. I don't feel like going to college again."
"Just stop lying to yourself. You choose Cam." Zig says.
"I kind of do. I don't know." whispers Maya.
Zig shakes his head.
"Answer. Do the right thing." says Zig.
"I choose Cam." Maya mumbles, out of anger.
"Do what makes you happy." Zig says.
It makes Maya think twice about who she chooses to be with.
"911, what's your emergency?" the operator asks again.
"My boyfriend...ex-boyfriend...is...he's dying. He's sick! Just get a mental hospital or something. Help! He's having a seizure! Hurry!" Maya shouts in tears.
Zig walks over to her and hugs her as she drops the phone and tightens the hug.
Hold on, Maya tells herself. Hold on and never let go of what's in front of you.
Then Maya looks at Cam.
I need you more than I want you, Maya tells herself.
Love triangles are the worst.
Yep. Chapter 3. I hope it's not confusing. This is mainly about Maya, so it's confusing for me to know when to say 'Maya' or say 'she' or 'her'. Don't know where to put the pronoun.
Update later today maybe? I don't know. I need those reviews to really know how to make my story and if I should continue.
Not taking requests, I just enjoy the input! :)
