A/N: I'm sorry I haven't posted in forever. Ive had wisdom teeth surgery and family problems that I don't even want to deal with. Ive also been procrastinating badly very badly on my summer homework and I start school in two weeks hahaha anyways here is chapter five. Two more chapters! But I will post more matlingsworth because my friends told me too and I have more story ideas!
Chapter 5:
"MILES! What the hell are you doing home so late?!" His father screamed. "Father listen…" Miles was cut off. By the end of that Miles had a black eye and a bloody nose. Of course, his dad wouldn't listen to him. Typical dad. Miles was having a great night until that.
Miles tried to avoid everyone the next morning but Chewy. Chewy knew Miles better than anyone else. He grabbed Chewy by the arm and led him into an abandon classroom.
"Oh god, Miles it's so bad this time." Chewy gasped. He had seen all the other times. All the cuts and bruises, the scars were relentless. "Maya was upset last night and I comforted her. We hung out and I broke curfew by an hour. My mom knew where I was at. I texted her but of course deadbeat dad didn't/" Miles explained. Winston sighed. Miles got so down whenever his dad pulled shit like that."She will never date a guy who gets beaten by her father." Miles phone went off. It was a text from Maya: Hey haven't you around today. Had fun last night.
"I can't face her after that text." Miles said. He showed Chewy the text. Winston brainstormed for a minute. "I'll distract Maya, skip any class you have with her." Chewy told him. "Just French that will be easy. Thanks Chewy." Miles said. Miles put his cover on and went to class.
"I don't get how we almost kiss then I don't see him the next day!" Maya said frustrated. She really liked Miles. She wanted to spend time with him and get to know him more. "He's probably sorting out his feelings." Tristan said. Maya sighed. "I'm gonna go look for Winston he would know where Miles is." Maya said running off.
Maya stopped him and actually tripped and fell into sunglasses. Maya picked them up and realized they were Miles's sunglasses. "I know these are Miles's sunglasses and I didn't tackle you by the way but where is he?" Maya asked holding the sunglasses up. "Give them up Matlin" Winston said glaring at her. "Not until you tell me where Miles is and will return them to him myself." Maya stated. She wouldn't give this up. She was a very stubborn person.
Winston sighed. "I don't know why in this world why he likes you." Winston said. "Tell me!" Maya shrieked. "Okay okay Matlin. Second door on the left." Winston finally gave up. He was nervous for Maya to see what was going on.
Maya ran down the hallway. "Matlin!" Mr. Simpson called after her. "Sir, I can explain." Maya tried. "First warning. No running." Mr. Simpson warned. "Gotcha. No running." Maya said. She walked slowly to her locker which was nearby. It was the perfect cover for her. She could also easily spot the classroom Miles was in. Maya was really confused about Miles. She wanted answers. It also wasn't like him to just run off without saying something especially to her.
Maya turned around at her locker and saw Simpson wasn't there and bolted. She found the classroom easily. No other teachers caught running ether which was a good thing. Maya walked into the classroom slowly. Her stomach was doing flips at a hundred miles an hour. "Chewy?" Miles asked. "No it's Maya actually." Maya said nervous.
The room was dark so Maya put on the light. Maya was very surprised when she saw Miles. She went up to him and touched the bruise on his eye. Miles flinched in pain. "Who did this to you Miles?" Maya asked very concerned. Maya wanted to break out crying. Her heart broke at the sight of him like this. Miles seemed to be in so much pain.
"I fell…"Miles tried. He didn't want her to know he was beaten especially by his father. Miles thought she would never look at him the same. "Is that why you've been avoiding me since last night" Maya asked him. Miles walked to the nearby window. Miles sighed. He just starred at the window. Maya stood beside him and took his hand and started caressing it.
"My father…" Miles started. He tried to speak more but he couldn't. Maya just looked at him. "It's okay. I promise. " Maya reassured him. Miles sat Maya down. He took her hand and held it. "Listen he hits me and it's why I've done so much stuff." Miles started saying. Maya went up and just wrapped her arms around him as he went on explaining.
