(MILES)

Miles heard Maya's voice slightly, but the world was still foggy. They'd both fallen asleep on Maya's bed. Maya was whispering something. What was it...? Wait, why was he sleeping on Maya's bed? Miles' eyes shot open, and he immediately looked at the clock on his phone. It was almost 4 in the morning! He wasn't sure when Maya's family woke up, but he'd have to try his luck. He got up and ran his fingers through his hair, trying to formulate a plan...

He looked at Maya once more, and heard what she was whispering. "Cam, don't." followed by "Why?" He furrowed his brow. Was Cam the guy in the picture? He'd have to bring it up later. Now he just needed to get out of Maya's home before anyone caught him.

He felt bad leaving Maya without any warning, so, he grabbed her phone and turned on the camera and pressed record. "Good Morning, beautiful. We kind of fell asleep last night. It's now about 4 in the morning, so I must leave you. But, you look cute when you sleep. Oh, and you snore. Now, I gotta go, but...you're amazing. Thank you for making my night better. It was the best night I'd had in a long time. Sweet dreams and text me when you stop being sleeping beauty!" He smiled, and turned the camera to Maya, and filmed himself giving her a kiss on the cheek, then waved the camera goodbye and set the phone down. That should be a nice thing to wake up to.

He pushed the door open slightly, and it creaked. His heart jumped, but, nobody was awake to notice. He snuck to the kitchen and saw a yellow sticky note on the table. There was neat black ink on it, and it said "Maya, Mom, and Dad, I went out to run, then to Marisol's. Text me if you need me. -Katie"

What kind of girl goes out and runs before 4 in the morning? Something was suspicious, but Miles didn't have time to figure it out. Anyway, maybe this girl was just crazy about running. Whatever it was, still weird. Miles was glad he'd fallen for the (seemingly) more sane sister.

Luckily the back door was still unlocked because of Maya letting Miles in, so he just slipped out. Once he was clear of Maya's house, he pulled out his phone and went to dial his father's number, but realized that he probably wasn't available. So, Miles called a cab and asked for a ride to the hospital.

(MAYA)

Maya woke up panicking. Miles and her had fallen asleep kissing at about 1am. She shot up out of bed, expecting to see Miles fast asleep, but he was gone. Or had he been there at all? No, she couldn't have dreamt a more perfect first kiss. Or first make-out session. Kiss sounds more romantic.

Maya checked the time. 8 am. She unlocked her phone and saw that it was open to a video. That didn't make sense... The only video she had on her phone was the one of CamHis last real words to her. But, now, there's a video with a thumbnail of Miles... She pressed play.

It was a video of Miles whispering to her phone, saying that she was cute and that she snored...Cam had included that too. It was him saying that they'd fallen asleep and that she made his night the best it'd been in a long time. Familiar, again. The last shot was of him kissing her cheek, then waving to the camera. She felt hot tears run down her face, going into her mouth.

She was smiling, but...still, it was...fresh. She swiped the screen to the right and it showed a thumbnail of Cam... She didn't have the strength to watch the video, so...she just opened a text to Miles.

"Good morning." She typed, as she wiped her face with her blanket.

Miles got to the hospital quickly. He hadn't been paying attention last night, but apparently Maya doesn't live far from the hospital. He gave the cab driver a very small amount of money for the short ride, and a decent tip.

He walked into the hospital, and it smelled disinfected. He guessed that at night, it's less clean than in the morning, because, last night it didn't smell this sickeningly clean. He walked up to a woman who was at a desk. She seemed busy, so he stood there until she noticed him. "Can I help you, young man?" There was an edge in her voice. It was only about 4:30 am, so he guessed she'd been there all night.

"Yeah, um, can I see my father? Miles Hollingsworth?" The woman took a moment. She seemed to be looking through files or something... Then she shook her head. "He's not allowed visitors right now. He has surgery soon and we're prepping him.

Miles raised his eyebrows. Surgery?

The woman, Miles read her name tag and saw her name was Pauline, stood there, as if to wonder if Miles was going to leave or not. "Um, okay... When can I visit him?" Pauline thought for a minute. "In his condition, it could be until at least tonight or tomorrow. And even then, the police have say in when he can be visited, and by who..." She almost looked suspicious, as if to wonder if Miles was the suspect in his father's crime.

"I've been interrogated, lady. I'm innocent." Miles spoke a little too loudly.

"Okay, calm down sir. If you don't, we'll have to escort you out. There are patients here who cannot be stressed out."

Miles rolled his eyes and turned on his heels. "Whatever." He grumbled, stomping out as dramatically as possible. He walked home. It was 5am before he got home, and when he did, his house was taped off with yellow tape. Great. He rolled his eyes and wished it was later so he could go to Maya's, but since he couldn't, he called Chewie.

The phone rang and a tired voice answered. "What is it? It's Sunday. My parents will wake me up for church in like, two hours. I need my sleep." "Well, I need to come over and shower. My house is unavailable for a reason I'll explain when I get there and you're my best friend. Come on.." Miles heard Chewie get up and stretch. "Fine, I'll tell my parents. You better have a damn good reason."

Miles smiled. "Thanks bro."

And, he called another cab. This time he barely had enough money for the ride, since Chewie's house was a little farther distance. He only tipped a dollar, and the cab driver mumbled something that Miles couldn't understand. He came and knocked on Chewie's door, and Chewie appeared almost immediately, with a red robe on and messy hair. "Really, robe? You're cool." Miles stated sarcastically. Chewie punched Miles' shoulder. "Shut up. Now, explain."

"And, that's why I'm here.." Miles finished, taking a breath. He'd just told Chewie everything that had happened, including Maya.

"Dude, who's the girl?"

"Really, Chewie? My dad gets stabbed and thats your first question?"

"Well, you included her, so, I figured it's important."

"Not right now."

Chewie's mom came into the kitchen yawning. "What is Miles doing here? It's only 6..Are you going to church with us?"

Miles shook his head. "I need to shower, Mrs. Chu. Winston, will you explain why I need to be here this morning and maybe tonight?"

Chewie nodded, wincing obviously at Miles calling him Winston. The last time Miles had did that was...well, never.

Miles patted Chewie's shoulder, and thanked Mrs. Chu. He made his way to the Chu's bathroom, stripped off his dirty clothes, and took a long, hot shower.

Writer's note: Any ideas for the next chapter? Cause I have no idea. I think I might include Tristan and Owen cause that's been asked of me, but I'm not sure how to do that quite yet! Also, if I make any mistakes, please point them out to me. I don't know everything about the criminal justice system, no matter how many episodes of Law and Order I've watched, and I also avoid hospitals at any cost. So, all the details may not be right. I try my best. Google can only help so much. R&R! Thanks sweethearts. I love you all with my heart and soul! Also, my Owen + Tristan story will be up maybe tonight or tomorrow. Not sure yet.
