"Say it again." He said lying besides his gorgeous girlfriend.

"You're talented, creative, capable of changing the directing…" she was interrupted.

"Then why has it been a three weeks with no news?" Josh exhaled.

"Because these things take time. You said there were at least fifty more people to enter the interview, it's not a decision they make quickly, babe."

"You're right, you're always right …and it's weird. Normally, I'm the voice of reason, being the oldest and all." He chuckled. "I don't get how you're so calm." Josh said referring to another hard topic.

"I'm not. I'm sadder each day passing but I know it's for a good thing." She nodded trying to let it sink in once more.

"We'll see each other even if I'm all the way to California." Josh hugged her closer.

"I know, it's just a big deal since we see each other every day all day. It'll pass, I'll get used to it."

He pressed his lips to hers giving all his love. "Just don't forget me." He whispered.

"How could I?" her eyes moved from his lips to his eyes. "You're all that's been in my mind since I was fourteen."

"Let's go, I'll take you to your dorm. My roommate had a fight with his psycho girlfriend."

"She's not psycho! She's really nice and trying to take care of what she has." Maya argued. "I should be more like that."

"No!" Josh laughed. "I love you but forty-seven text messages in fewer than ten minutes are too much."

They joked until they finally parted ways.

For the first time in three weeks he fell into a deep slumber and dreamed of what Maya would look like as a psychopath girlfriend and not on how he is rejected by Warner Bros.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When he woke up the first thing he did was check his cellphone just as he did every morning hoping to hear from the people at Warner. The difference today though was that instead of throwing his phone back in to his drawer after noticing there was nothing of his interest, he stared nervously at the one unopened e-mail message.

Josh's POV

Should I open it?

No. what if it says that load of crap they say every time you fail. A nice thing to not say what they actually mean: You suck.

What if it's an acceptance?

Maybe… not so sure, though.

Okay… I'll open it with Maya, then. Yeah…

No one's POV

He bathed and dressed as fast as he could though his real intention was to stall the moment he knew the decision that had been made. Though he seemed to be a charismatic and secure person, deep down he was just as insecure as anyone else.

Opening the message along with Maya would make things not so bad if he was rejected, or so he told himself. It would also let her know of his failure. He was in such a difficult situation but it was best to let her read it herself instead of having to tell her on his own right?

There was nothing left for him to do, he bathed, dressed, did his bed, picked up the dirty clothes that were sprawled all over the floor, he fixed his drawers and even had the time to carefully fold his clothes just how his mother had taught him. Man, was he nervous.

He saw the love of his life walk up to meet him halfway in the lounge, her beautiful blonde hair in a braid, her make up neutral as always and most importantly her bright wide smile present as always. Talk about pressure, he could just picture that smile he loves so much fade and turn in to a tight lip and frown with a slow disappointing shake of the head.

"Good morning," she took a sip of her coffee and handed him his. "I was just coming to look for you, what took you so long?"

He thought about stalling a bit more but figured if he'd disappoint her, it be best if it was now.

"I was making time,"

"Why?" she was confused. Did he not want to see me yet? She thought.

"I have this… message from Warner Bros." he showed her his phone and she beamed.

"So? Why haven't you opened it?" she was ecstatic.

"I'm a bit nervous, Maya. It's a huge thing."

"Okay… what if I read it and tell you what it says?" she suggested.

"That's what I had in mind."

"Good, let's see…"

He stood there, waiting for what seemed like hours. He just stared at her read the message, watching her moving lips, not understanding what they were saying. His heart stopped when she sighed.

"Is that a… a good sigh or a bad sigh?" he was about to have an anxiety attack.

"Both." She smiled at him. "Congratulations, love." Maya hugged him tight.

It wasn't that she was not happy, she was. She was proud and a thousand percent happy. The thing is, it means he would have to go, but she had to get used to that. It was bound to happen.

"Oh my God." He was speechless. "Let me see, I have to see it."

It was true. He had been accepted.

"You should tell everyone this Sunday, we could throw you a big dinner and all that." Maya smiled at the vision of this.

"Yeah, God… this is great!"

"It is! And as much as I would like to celebrate with you," she winked. "I have to go to class and so do you so… meet me at lunch." She kissed him.

"Okay, love you."

It was impossible for him to concentrate. It was Warner Bros.! He couldn't stop reading the message he just couldn't wrap his head around it. They wanted him… HIM to work there. He sighed for what could be the thirtieth time. The feeling was overbearing and he didn't know how to react to it. This was the big chance he wanted. This was the big break he needed and he got it.

Lunch time came by and as always Maya was with him. He knew it was rude to not listen to what she was seeing but he was still psyched.

"Josh, did you hear me?" Maya asked impatiently.

"Huh? Oh yeah." He nodded.

"What did I say?"

"Uh…."

Maya sighed in frustration. "I said we should go out to dinner tonight, I'll make reservation for nine o'clock." she smiled proudly.

"Cool." He pecked her lips and suddenly someone called him.

"Josh!" said Garret.

"Garret my man!" he saluted him and the rest of his friends.

"What's up man? Long time no see, your girl has you hidden somewhere." Garret joked.

"Nah, man. We've just been very impatient but not anymore."

"Why is that?"

"I had an interview at Warner bros. a few weeks ago and I got my response today…. I was accepted."

The group jumped over Josh and hollered in celebration!"

"Congratulation bro!" he fist bumped. "That's amazing!"

"I know."

"Listen, we have to go but I'll see you in class yeah'" they left.

"You have great friends." Maya smiled lovingly.

"I also have the best girlfriend."

"Aw."

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Hey." Garret said.

"Sup man." Josh greeted.

"Me and the guys were talking, in celebration we wanted to take you, my man," he placed his hands on Josh shoulders. "To a club."

"Really?" Josh was excited it's been a while since he's been out without Maya.

"Tonight at eight my man."

"I wouldn't miss it."

8:00 p.m.

"Yo! You ready for a great night?!" Garret shouted, receiving a few whoos and yeahs from the rest. "Tonight is Josh's night ya'll so free drinks for him!"

Man, this is going to be great, Josh thought.

Meanwhile, Maya was getting ready for Josh's dinner celebration; not knowing he was out on another celebration having no idea he was going to miss their reservation.

8:30

The music was beating loud, hundreds of people pressed together dancing, others on tables taking drink after drink as Josh was doing. Just half an hour there and he'd already had 3 beers and he was starting to feel the great effect.

"How ya doin' man?" Garret asked.

"I'm great! I haven't had so much fun in a long time." He frowned at himself, if Maya heard him, she would freak and think she was sucking away his fun.

Maya on the other hand was on her way to the restaurant, present in hand. She knew she didn't have to but she felt the need for a gift.

9:00

Josh was having a blast, no idea he was forgetting something. Beer and piña coladas and more weren't helping his memory.

He was on the floor dancing with someone he could only make out as a girl because of the hair. Maya? Maybe, he couldn't really tell.

Speaking of Maya, she was sitting, waiting for him, hoping he'd get there soon for she was starving.

9:30

"Maya, I'm tired." Josh shouted in between the crowd.

"Maya? Oh, a game!" said the blond with a seductive smile. "Right, let's take a break." She held him by the hand.

Maya was pissed and somewhat worried. He was late and he wouldn't answer the phone. She decided to wait a bit more even if the waiter was looking funny at her.

10:00

He lost count of his drinks… he lost notion of everything, he simply enjoyed the moment and let his mind wander and body jump to the rhythm of the music with Maya pressed to him… or so the girl he thought was Maya.

Maya was nuts and her worries were soon replaced with more anger. How dare he?! She was beyond mad, apart from not getting there, it meant she had to walk back, IN HEELS! He was going to pay… big time.

11:00

He was still having a blast while Maya was barely making it to her dorm, her feet sore, sweat all over her body, who knew you could sweat in… certain areas?

12:00

1:00

Garret was aware of the blonde with Josh and he definitely knew what could happen so the moment he saw her take Josh by the hand out on to the street he stopped her.

"Sorry hottie, he's taken, he's practically married, go."

Josh was drunk as hell…

2:00

Two a.m. and she was still up waiting on his bed, ready to give him a piece of her mind.

Suddenly she heard the doorknob turn and she quickly stood and opened it causing Josh to fall to the floor and laugh.

"Ah, man!" Garret complained. "Sorry, Maya. He had a few … a lot of drinks… "

"Leave." She said tears in her eyes, her voice Stone cold.

"I'm sorry…"

"Go."

"Ok." He left. Josh was still laughing.

Though she was mad, she couldn't leave him there. She helped him to the toilet just in time for him to puke then she bathed him, changed him and put him to bed. She layed by his side, even though she helped, he still wasn't free of any argument.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

His head was pounding, sweat on his forehead, mouth savoring like garbage… yeah, he was hung over. Vague memories came to him, he remembers some blond being all over him.

He opened his eyes slowly and saw a small hand on his waist, his mind imagining the worst.

Oh no. Oh, no, no, no, no, please, no. He was almost in tears. He slowly turned his head to see who the mysterious girl was.

He sighed in relief at the moment he saw it was Maya, but then his heart stopped.

Shit… dinner reservation. He had totally forgotten. He was so going to get it.

An hour later she woke up, he face giving him what he knew was coming. She was beyond pissed and he knew it.

"Maya…" he tries to initiate conversation.

"Save it." She held her hand up.

"But I-"

"You forgot, yeah. Maybe because you weren't even paying attention." She spat. "You forgot, went to a club and danced your butt off and got wasted. You get here drunk as fuck and I, rather than fucking screaming at you, I fucking bathe you, help you puke and put you to fucking bed!" she was yelling at the top of her lungs. "Talk about humiliation! I got a god damn dessert for free at the god damn restaurant! Where I waited TWO GOD DAMN HOURS!"

"I know I'm so so so sorry-"

"

"Don't sorry me! You could have at least told me you wouldn't make it."

"I know, babe-"

"Stop." She said. "I- I don't want to keep yelling. Just leave me alone for a few hours okay?" she couldn't even look at him.

He felt like an asshole, never had she been so upset with him, he didn't blame her in all honesty. So all he could do, to avoid making things worse, was to agree. "Okay…"

She opened the door revealing the rest of his friends eavesdropping.

"Show's over." She said before leaving.

"Wow…" Garret exhaled.

"I can't believe it, I'm such an ass." Josh said.

"And she didn't even know about that blonde you were pressing your junk on all night. "

"WHAT?!" Josh was in shock.

"You thought it was Maya but I saved you from doing anything stupid, don't worry."

"That doesn't make me feel better. Imagine if it was Maya doing that…"

"Just let her cool off man." Garret patted his arm. "Let's go to class."

Lunchtime was too soon apparently because the moment he made his way towards her and sat by her side she ignored him and left.

"Well, you screwed up" Farkle, Riley, Lucas and Zay said all together.

"I tried to apologize but she wouldn't have it."

"I'm surprised she didn't throat punch you." Lucas said.

"I'll try again at dinner." Was all Josh could say.

Dinner time was present and he caught up with her only for her to ignore him, he had enough.

"Maya, please, I know I screwed up okay? I'm sorry, please talk to me." Josh begged.

"No." She turned to leave but he grabbed her arm and took her to the dorm.

"Why are you so mad? It can't be only because of missing dinner."

"Did you- did anything happen?" she was direct.

"What?" he was confused.

"With a girl… did anything happen?" It was hard to repeat.

"No…" he thought of what Garret told him. "I mean… apparently there was this girl-"before he could finish Maya gasped and held her stomach.

"NO! No! Maya, nothing happened okay. I swear."

"You swear?" Maya was in tears.

"I swear, baby." He held her.

"Okay… I-I'll believe you." She said. "But I'm still worried. When you leave you're going to go out and get drunk and-"

"I would never-"He started.

"How would you know?" Maya was crying.

"I won't go out if I have to Maya. Even if I did, I would never do that to you okay? I swear on my life, babe." He kissed her lips. "I would never." He kissed her forhead. "Ever," he kissed her cheek. "Ever cheat on you." He kissed her fiercely, dropping her and himself on to the bed.

"Ever?" she whispered, her eyes pouring out her soul and it broke his heart to see such fear.

"Ever." They kissed and disposed of each other's clothes before giving in to the heat and passion.

Now done satisfying each other she broke the silence. "I'm sorry I got so mad."

"You had the right. I was an ass."

"You were." She giggled.

"I'll never do that again. I promise."

"Okay…" she sighed.

"I love you." He said for the millionth time.

"Me too." She answered, also for the millionth time.

They both slept feeling a bit more liberated. Josh knew there was more but as always she needed a little push. He only thanked it was now and not later when there was nothing he could do about it.
