Maia P.O.V.
"What the fuck," I whispered to myself. I let a small tear slide down my cheek. I let out a small sob as I collapsed onto the pavement outside. "Maia," I heard his soft voice say. "Uh, yes Ross, it's me." He reached for my hand, helping me up. I felt dizzy, I started to wobble. He put his hand on my lower back, steadying me.
"I'm sorry Maia." I wiped my tears before he could see. "For what babe?" He looked uncomfortable after I said babe. "For everything, I just wanted to forget about Laura, but I can't. I'm sorry for leading you on. You were right, I'm in love with Laura and I always will be, even if she doesn't love me back." I knew it, I shouldn't have come here tonight, I shouldn't have gotten involved with him in the first place.
"Whatever Ross, just leave me alone," I said pushing him away from me. "So this is my fault now?" I nodded. "You're the one who started it and you're saying this is my fault," His voice was getting louder each time he spoke. "Ross, you're the one who let me stay there," I said turning to walk away. "I didn't think it would come to all of this," He said grabbing my wrist.
"You need to tell Laura the truth, you need to tell her that you kissed me." By this time, he was enraged. "You can tell her yourself, pretty sure the only reason she would wanna see me is to punch me in the face again." Ross looked puzzled. "That's where you got the bloody lip from?" I nodded, "She's a bitch."
"YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT HER THAT WAY," Ross screamed. I had to admit, I was pretty scared, but I wasn't backing down. "What about those long phone conversations we had? What about all those times you told me you loved me and not her? Is that all gone now? Or do you just string girls along and then break their hearts when they're most vulnerable?" Ross was enraged, yet speechless at the same time. His angry expression changed into a sympathetic look. "I didn't realize-" I cut him off.
"You can't just throw around the word love. It's meant for someone that you truly care about, someone you truly love. Just spare me the pain, don't tell me you love me if you don't really mean it," I wiped the tears that were quickly falling down onto my cheeks. "Ross, I've been through a lot. I just can't deal with this anymore, I just can't deal with you anymore."
"Maia.. I-" I put my hand up. "Ross.. don't," I yelled. "After everything I've been through, you were the one thing that remained constant in my life. Ross, I'm all alone here in LA. You have a beautiful family, amazing girlfriend, you have it all. I just wanted to be friends, why did you have to complicate the situation by making me feel something for you, by lying to me about your feelings!" Ross wrapped his arms around me. "Maia, I want us to be friends, I do." I pushed away from him.
"You just don't get it do you. I've given up on you, I've given up on us, but it still hurts to know you're not alone, it hurts to know you're with her."
