Chapter 6

Vic's POV
"Hey Jaime, have you seen the duct tape anywhere?" Mike screamed as he walked into the living room.

"No, I haven't. Why?" He responded.

Mike eyeballed me before responding, "I'm kidnapping A girl and I need something to shut her up."

I rolled my eyes.

"I actually need it for a special project---before you ask it's none of your business. I'll go look in the garage." Then Mike went downstairs.

I resumed watching tv until Maya came down, dressed in black skinnies, boots and a BMTH Tshirt.

I frowned. "You like us better than them right?"

She seemed confused at first, so I pointed to her shirt. She laughed and kissed me on the cheek. "Of course I do," she said, before grabbing her purse and headed to the door.

"Woah, where ya going?" I asked.

"Oh, just to go hang out with a friend."

"Who?" I asked.

"Does it matter? Anyways, his name is Ashton. We're gonna go grab some lunch and skateboard in the park. See you guys later!" And with that, she opened the door and left.

I turned back around.

A guy... What if this hang out leads to something else...

Stop, Vic, you're being paranoid.

"Bro, you look kinda weird." Jaime said. "what's the problem?"

"It's uhh--nothing, I'm good."

"You're not... Jealous, are you?" He said with a grin.

"I am not."

"Mhm, whatever you say, Victor."

I glared at him and went back to the television.

Maya's POV

I approached Ashton, and got off my skateboard.

I gave him a quick hug and we started walking downtown.

"How's it been? You know, with the band and all?" He asked me.

"Oh it's been great! The guys are so nice... I'll really have to let you meet them."

"You do," he laughed.

"Hmm, how about... There." I pointed to a Taco Bell.

"You know me so well," Ashton said.

We laughed and headed in.

We got a big box of tacos and sat down.

"You and Vic holding up well?" Ashton asked.

"Yeah... We actually had our first kiss the other day," I said proudly.

"Was it magical??" He batted his eyelashes.

"That's an understatement, but it was pretty good."

We laughed as we finished our food and headed out.

"Last one to the skate park is a rotten egg!" I yelled, hopping on my board and pushing myself ahead.

"Hey, no fair!!!" He yelled, coming up behind me.

Later

As we were skating, it started to rain.

"My house is really close if you wanna chill for a bit there." He said.

"Sounds better than standing out here, let's go!" We raced our boards to his house.

Vic's POV

It was getting late, and Maya still wasn't back yet.

It had been about two hours past when she said she was going to be home, and it was pouring rain outside. I started getting worried and paced back and forth in the living room.

Jaime put a hand on my shoulder. "Chill dude, I'm sure she's fine."

I brushed his hand off.

The door opened and a slightly wet Maya came in, taking her coat off.

I ran up to her, furious. "Where have you been? I was worried sick!"

"Chill, it started raining so we just stayed at Ashton's since it was closer for a bit."

"For a bit? You mean two hours?!"

"Vic, calm down, your kinda scaring me." She chuckled and put her skateboard down.

"You should've been home hours ago!" I yelled.

"Vic--"

"SHUT UP!" Before I knew what I was doing I slapped her right across the face.

The room went silent.

I stood there, staring at my hand, Maya's face looking down. The rest of the guys staring at me in horror.

"Maya... I..." I started, not knowing what to say.

She looked up. A giant red hand mark across her cheek, tears streaming down her face. She picked up her skateboard, opened the door and left, slamming it behind her.
