Maya pov:

I couldn't take my mind off the conversation which happened yesterday night. But for a weird reason, the thought of me marrying Brian made my stomach all giddy.

"Are you back from wonderland May?" Sammy asked and I snapped back to reality.

"Huh... shut up" I grumbled. He raised his hands in surrender. We were on our way towards our lockers. We dropped in early today for no reason. So there weren't as many students.

"May, can I ask you something?" Sam rubbed the back of his neck.Was he nervous?

"Yeah sure. Anything." I placed my arm on his shoulder.

"Have you....like you know.....felt a kind of attraction towards the same gender although your not gay or bisexual?" He speed talked. His face grew flushed and ran a hand over his hair.

"Uh......no not really. Why are you asking this?" I shrugged.

"M-my friend is facing this situation and I just was thinking about it." He brushed me off. I internally smirked because I knew the actual reason behind his questions. I wasn't a fool.

I had noticed the way he would steal few glances every now and then at Willy. Honestly speaking, I'm rooting for those two rather my brother and some manipulative bitch.

"Well it should probably be love at first sight or something." I shrugged and his eyes widened.

"What?!" He exclaimed and I raised an eyebrow at him

"I mean oh okay." He regained his posture. I smirked. 

I heard a voice behind me and my smirk deepened. I felt Sam tense beside me. I turned around and gave Willy the biggest smile ever.

"Willy!" I grinned and he grinned back.

"May!!" Willy retorted as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

Willy looked at Sam and his expression changed. 

"Oh hey Sam." Willy waved and Sam just nodded without looking.

"kay' May I have to go. I'll see you later." Sam informed and I nodded.

"Uh bye William." Sam gave him a smile before rushing out.

"Is it only me or does your brother always act like this?" Willy pointed and I shrugged.

"Eh just you I guess. He gets nervous when he is around you." His expression changed into a shocked one with a coat of blush covering his cheeks.

"Oh"

"Aw.. someone is blushing." I gushed and he became redder. I laughed when he slightly shoved me.

 I opened my locker and grabbed my books and shut it. As I shut it I jumped when I saw Brian leaning against the one next to mine.

"You scared me." I breathed.

"Sorry, How are your bruises?" Brian asked as he scanned my face. He cupped my face in one of his hands and I leaned in while closing my eyes.

"They are going. No pain, just numbness." I answered and he nodded before pulling away.

"So May, shall I go or..?" Willy stood awkwardly and I chuckled.

"Carry on Willy, I'll be there."  I assured while Brian nodded. Willy walked off and I put on an annoying expression.

He stared at me for sometime until I decided to break the silence.

"Did you need anything?" I asked, annoyed.

"Did I piss you off?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Then what's with the cold attitude?" Brian raised an eyebrow.

"What cold attitude? I'm just asking Pumpkin." I told, softly.

"Your mom and dad are back?" He asked and I eagerly nodded.

"Let's meet today after school? I need help in math." Brian asked and I sighed yet nodded.

"Okay" I turned but was pulled back into his embrace. He wrapped his arms around me and I relaxed. I inhaled his scent and was introduced with a lavender one. I scrunch my face before pulling away immediately.

"What's wrong?" Brian looked at me with hurt in his eyes.

"Wh-Who's smell is that?" I shakily pointed at his body. He looked down and looked up and his eyes held one thing the strongest.

Guilt.

"Maya, I can explain..." Brian started.

"No, Why should you? You can be with whom ever you want and why should I question you? I have no right." I told with my face void of any emotion.

"Dimple, you don't know what you are saying...." He tried explaining but I cut him off.

"I know what I am saying, Brian." I smiled softly.

"I think it's best if we don't interact much. It is not your fault but it's giving me the wrong ideas." I gave a heart broken smile and walked away.

He never thought of me in that way. He never liked me more than just friends . I speed walked to the classroom and sat next to Willy. As soon as I sat, he gave me a look of concern. I assured him with a weak smile but he didn't seem convinced. 

**********************************************************************************************

I was heading towards Sam's car when I saw Damon and Dylan walking over towards me. My mood still hadn't been lifted and I wasn't in a mood to talk to them either.

"Hey Maya" Dylan greeted and I gave a small smile.

"Hi" I told weakly.

"Are you alright?" Damon placed a hand on my shoulder and I just nodded.

"Okay.. well..... Have you seen Brian. We haven't seen him since morning." Dylan asked and my eyebrows furrowed.

"I wasn't with him the whole day." I frowned and they looked confused.

"When you met him, was he pissed or something?" Damon asked this time. My mind went back to today mornings conversation and I drowned in my misery.

"I don't know. We didn't speak much." I muttered and their eyes widened.

"Did something happen between you two?" Damon looked at me with a curious face.

"Nothing ever happened with us, something would be too much." I scoffed not knowing what I was rambling. 

Just the I heard the voice of the person who would be the last one for me to look at right now.

"Dylan!" Erica's voice chimed in as she placed her hand on Dylan's shoulder.

Dylan groaned slightly before faking a smile and looking at her.

"Hey Erica, What are you doing here?" Dylan squeaked and she left a dramatic sigh.

"Well I was thinking of surprising Brian cause we had an amazing time yesterday. But I can't find him. Do you know where he is?" She squealed.

I felt my whole body filled with rage and jealousy. I had already planned her murder in my head 20 different ways.

Damon and Dylan gave me a look of sympathy while I shrugged it off.

"I'm sorry Erica but We haven't seen him either." Damon answered and she pouted.

"Okay well never mind." She frowned and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Erica, you haven't met Maya have you? Maya.. Erica." Damon cheered and I glared at him. He gulped.

"We had met day before yesterday. She was in Brian's office." She gave me a fake smile as she scanned me from top to toe.

I kept my face blank, void of any emotion before looking at her.

"Well, Mayla can I speak to you for a moment?" She gave me a bitter smile.

"No Erene you can't" I mocked her. Her eyes widened for a bit.

"It's Erica." She gritted.

"It's Maya." I glared at her and she took a step back. I looked over at Damn and Dylan who were very close to laughing at Erica's priceless reaction.

"Kay boys, I have to go. I'll see you later" I gave them a mock salute before heading back to Sam's car.  

***********************************************************************************************

It's been a week since the incident and there is still no sign of Brian. I can't help but think if I over reacted. I shouldn't have accused him. I acted like a clingy girlfriend. I cringe at the thought of him being in any danger.

"Should I call him or not." I whispered to myself.

I groaned and plopped on my bed. I just came back from school and my mind kept drifting to Brian the whole day.

Fucking hell!

Just then I heard a knock on my door and I mumble a 'come in'. Mel's head popped in and I smiled at her. I gestured for her to come in and patted on my bed.

She shyly walked in and closed the door behind her.

"I was thinking we could talk?" She asked as she made herself comfortable.

"Of course. What do you wanna talk about?" I ruffled her hair and she slapped my hand away while giving me a playful glare.

"You see.... tomorrow is my first day at school and I'm a bit late in joining" She started.

"Ah yes! That's okay. I know you will catch up." I assured her with a smile.

"What if they don't like me?" She frowned.

"Mel, you are a smart girl and you are brave. There's no way they won't not like you. If anything, they will love you. Besides, if you are having any trouble, Sam and I will also be there right? So don't worry." I placed my hand on her shoulder.

She smiled and hugged me.

"Thanks Maya." She grinned.

"Welcome." I gave a cheeky smile.

"I wanna show you the pictures from when I was in India. Will you come?" She gave me a puppy dog eyes and I gave a dramatic sigh.

"Duh, I will." I told in a 'duh' tone and she giggled before pulling me out of my room and heading towards her's.

**************************************************************************************

 I came back from Mel's room and glanced at the clock. it was 7:45 pm. I unlock my phone to find 4 missed calls. As I look at the caller id, my eyes widened at the name.

pumpkin.

I stared at my phone in shock. What if he called by mistake?

Sure Idiot! He called you four times. By mistake!

I rolled my eyes at myself. I bit my lip as my anxiety increased.

Just do it!!

"Fuck it." I called him back.

*ring* *ring* *ring*

He picked up the phone on the third ring.

"Dimple!!" His voice slurred and I cringed.

"Brian, what happened? Are you drunk?" I rushed him with questions.

"Nope! I'm not drunk. I am perfectly fine." He hiccuped and I rolled my eyes.

"Is anyone there with you?" I asked, concern laced in my voice.

"There are lots of people here." He told and I slapped my hand to my forehead.

"Brian? Is anyone you know over there?" I gritted.

"Nope, but why didn't you pick up my call before?" He slurred.

"I was busy." I told.

"Busy with what? Were you with someone? Was it a guy?" His voice slightly raised.

"That's none of your business." I stated.

"Everything you do is my business!!" He yelled through the phone and I cringed hard.

I heard some other voices too.

"Sir, please calm down." 

"Brian where are you?" I asked.

"Who were you with?" he asked back.

"Brian answer my question dammit!" I snapped

"No, you answer!" He whined like a kid.

"Fine I was with my sister." I huffed.

"No lying?" He mumbled.

"No lying." I assured in a soft tone.

"okay." He calmed.

"Now tell me where are you?" I asked.

"I don't know. I think the name was something with Red......vet?" He asked more like told.

I recognized the place. It was a bar and it was called red velvet.

"Okay pumpkin. Stay there. I'm coming." I told as I wore my shoes.

"Okay bye sweetheart." He hung up and I stilled.

Sweet heart?

Not the time Maya!

I ran into Maria as I exited my room.

"Whoa whoa what's the hurry?" She stopped me.

"Brian..... drunk......I need your car." I exhaled and she gasped.

"he is drunk?" I nodded.

"You need to cover up for me." I grabbed both her arms.

"Please?" I begged.

"Well... calm down, woman. Here, take my car keys. No scratches on my baby." She warned and I nodded in agreement.

"Go fast before anyone sees you." She pushed me further and I sprinted out of the huge house.

"The one time I had to get out fast!" I breathed as I unlocked Mar's car and got inside before speeding off.

After 15 minutes I called Brian's phone and this time he picked it up in one ring.

"D-dimp-ple!" He slurred and hiccuped.

"Did you drink more?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"N-nop-pe" he hiccuped again and I clenched my fists on the steering wheel.

"I don't want you to have one more drink. Understood." I gritted out.

"Okay." He told in a baby voice.

"I'll be reaching in 5 minutes, so come out of the bar and stand near the entrance." I informed and I could only hear another slur in response.

I hung up and increased the speed.

"I just hope there aren't any cops right now."I mumbled as I drove.

I reached in two minutes. I turned the engine of before getting out of the car and scanning the entrance only to find Brian angrily talking with someone. Two people were also holding him to stand properly on the ground. I muttered a curse before rushing towards them.  

I'm almost 10 feet away when Brian's head snapped towards mine. His face was in a scowl but when he saw me he softened and stumbled out of the other two people's grip.

"Dimple!" He grinned as he stumbled in my direction. I immediately rush towards him. He stumbles upon me making me take few steps back but I regain my balance and hold him. I grab hold of his bicep to lift him up and make him stand properly. He leaned down and places his head in the crook of my neck. I blushed and looked up to find the people staring at me.

"I'm sorry, you had to deal with him." I smiled as I tried to keep Brian from falling.

"It's alright. I'm glad he is quite now. he kept screaming your name." He told nonchalantly. I blushed harder.

"Dimple..." He slurred again. The smell of alcohol coming strong from him. I cringed and looked back at them.

"Do you know how much he drank?" I asked.

"Oh he drank for the whole bar I think. He is going to have one hell of a hangover." The other guy smirked. I sighed and looked at Brian. He was staring at me with a pout on his face.

He looked at the other guys and scowled immediately.

"Take your eyes off my girl!" He scowled and I stiffened.

His girl

"Hey man, she is all yours." They held their hands up in mock surrender.

He wrapped his arms around me and looked at me in a weird way.

Possessiveness?

"Let's go" I told and he mumbled something while leaning on me for support. I grumbled and somehow reached the car with him literally on me. This guy is heavy.

He has muscles. What do you think?

I opened the passenger door but Brian closed it.

"Brian-" He cut me off by gently pushing me back. My back touched the car.

He leaned in and stared into my eyes. Only now I realized that they were blood shot red.

"So beautiful." He whispered and I gulped.

"Brian, you are drunk." I slowly told.

"In love." He slurred/ whispered.

He leaned in closer while his eyes flickered from my eyes to my....

lips?

"Fuck it." He muttered before crashing his lips down to mine.
