The Right One (Josh and Maya (rewrite)

2. Lucas and Liz

Wait, you actually read that whole chapter and want more? Can we be soulmates🥺? I literally love you. Thank you!

I'm so sorry that I make Lucas sound so weird in this chapter I'm just exaggerating everything. But tell me why I get Finn Hudson vibes from him... um...

And I just reread the chapter and what the actual fuck was I thinking. I suggest you do not read that shit, my God I must've been the scariest innocent child. Anyways, this is going to be different anyway because just yikes.

⚠TW: ABUSIVE ACTIONS⚠

Lucas's POV

Totally not my mom calling. Or else what I'm about to do is really gross.

"Hey, babe," I yell out. Then I take the key she gave me out of my wallet and slip it into the keyhole.

It may be weird that I'm dating more than one girl at one time but it doesn't really count! Especially since we've been together for, like, only 2 weeks. Liz has less than 5 letters in her name—Maya does too. Liz has dirty blonde hair—I don't see anyone denying that as Maya's hair color... on certain days. Liz has pale skin—they're basically twins. There's nothing wrong with that! 

She comes down the stairs looking fine as hell in her short shorts, crop top, and flannel. She was fully dressed looking ready to leave with red sandals and a purse and everything. I'm getting total blonde Beca Mitchell vibes from her and it's hot. 

"Woah, you just walked right into my house," she said getting nearer. I can smell her perfume, the type she always uses. She placed her arms along my shoulders to pull me in closer. "I was just getting ready to leave but I guess I'll stay for you," she whispered intoxicatingly. She showed off her white teeth in a dazzling smile. I grinned down at her. "Come upstairs?" she suggested, and I nodded immediately.

She bunched up the fabric on my chest, pulling me forward by the collar of my shirt. It felt like just mere seconds before I was pulled into her room, shutting the door with my foot despite being in an otherwise empty house, and being pushed onto a messy bed.

Liz's POV

Lucas was asleep next to me, we had just finished watching a few episodes of some Texas rom-com/action movie. It was long and boring, to me at least, so I wonder why he's the one asleep and I'm staring at the credits, even when he's the one who suggested we watch it. 

I reach over him, he stirs quietly, and find my phone on the nightstand. I unlock my phone, going over to Instagram, and finding the add post button. I press on it, finding a picture of the two of us in the camera roll. I tag "lu_tha1cas" and add the caption "I really love bae. Come by again 😉". But I do decide that I don't particularly like this photo since it makes my butt look too big. So instead I take a picture of the two of us, the clicking sound rings loudly, doing the duck face even though it's been dead for like three years. Lucas stirs some more, but I ignore it and post the photo. 

Then I see his eyes open up, and he actually shoots up into a sitting position. "What is it?" I ask with wide eyes, I quickly get up as well.

"What did you just do?!" He asks angrily.

"What are you talking about?" I ask, voice calm. "I just posted a photo of the two of us. I know you don't want me to but we've been together for some time no-"

"Delete it." He orders, looking steely into my eyes. 

"What the fuck? No," I grimace at him. Then suddenly he's grabbing onto my phone, but his eyes widen. "What?" I ask confusedly.

"There's already five comments and twenty-five likes!" He shakes his hand with the phone in it and looks around, jumping to his feet.

"Lucas calm down. You're not the Freeway Phantom, you're acting like you're on the run from the police."

"Just shut... Ugh," he groans and I can hear the Instagram notifications continuing to pop up. 

"Give me back my phone, don't be an asshole," I get up too and rush towards him. I push him back and pull my phone into my chest.

"It's too late." I raise an eyebrow at his words. Rolls his eyes angrily, already grabbing up his wallet from the nightstand. He comes back to me with a pointed finger, and I flinch, but it never makes contact. He jabs his finger at a comment, putting my attention on it. "She's already seen it." It simply read "what the fuck" and "peaches.hart" above it. My friend Maya commented it. 

"What about it? And why do you care that she's seen it, what's wrong with you?"

He shook his head and stormed out of the room. I throw my phone to the bed and jog after him. 

"Lucas!" I yell. But the front door has already slammed shut.

I'm not sure if this is more or less cringy than the original chapter. But it's better.
