Always Be Mine Chapter 19
Maya's P.O.VSlowly and reluctantly, I blink my eyes and uncover my face to the streaks of sunlight that penetrated through the window. As the sun rises and casts warm tones into my room, I feel something new. It's as if all the negative emotions have fleeted away, and there isn't a single reason to feel despair anymore.After all the restless nights, I finally had a full day of sleep. My eyes were no longer tired, and my dark circles were fading away.All the thoughts from yesterday played in my mind, and without noticing, a broad smile grew on my face. Never did I think I was going to wake up with an automatic smile plastered on my face. I wouldn't even be surprised if I slept with this smile. Last night was one of the best nights of my life, and I owed it all to Ethan.7My finger tapped on the screen, ready to send Ethan a message. Although I had nothing important to say, I couldn't wait any longer to see him.My first thought was to send him a text asking him to hang out, but the

Maya's P.O.VThe elevator door finally flung open, and Ethan stood there, his daws bristly and jutting. He glanced at me without the slightest flicker or awareness whatsoever, which shows me that our separation didn't affect him as much as it did to me.Of course, why would he remember someone that he barely dated for a few weeks?Unlike me, he had thousands of girls lined up and waiting to be his next interest, so why would he be upset about losing someone as insignificant as me?I didn't know why, but I suddenly felt the urge to cry. I bit down on my lips to stop any tears that were about to come out. Maybe I was just overwhelmed with everything and exhausted from traveling. All I wanted was to go back, sit on my table, finish assignments, and drink a warm cup of milk tea - what I've been doing my whole life.As Ms. Wilson did a final count and made us do our final reflections of the trip, she reminded us that our final exam would be about this trip and a Movable Feast.If it were a

Maya's P.O.VThere were moments in life where I suddenly felt as if the world was slowly disappearing right in front of my eyes. Or was it just me that was fading away. All I wanted to do was just run away from everyone and be by myself.For weeks on end, I try to bury myself in endless amounts of work and assignments to forget the pain, but it wasn't easy. No matter how many million times I try not to remind myself, the pain was real.Apart from going to school, I try to leave my room as much as possible when needed for tasks such as getting groceries, dry cleaning, and gas station. I spent most of my time in school hidden in the library. With the semester coming to an end, I threw myself entirely into finals. With myself in complete shut down from the world, I rarely thought about Ethan when I was studying.Even if I were at home, I'd still viciously study to keep my mind away from him. But then when it was time for me to sleep, no matter how hard I refused to think about him, whene

Maya's P.O.VAs everyone tried to make it into class before the teacher noticed that they were late, I watched as Ethan took a seat at the table next to mine.He was merely five feet away and facing my direction."We have a new student today," our teacher introduced, "come in, Celine."In walked a beautiful girl, probably Latin, with high cheekbones and an admirable shyness to her. She had the right physique and hair to have guys waiting in line for her, which only made me even more insecure. Not only did I have Leighton to worry about, but now I had Celine to look out for."Nice to meet you," she said and waved at the class, her perfect crimson hair resting right above her shoulder.I could see a few guys whispering amongst each other, most likely discussing who was going to call dibs on her. Swallowing the lump rising in my throat, I looked over to see if Ethan was one of those guys.Ethan sat quietly for a brief moment appearing unaffected by the goddess that just walked into the r

Ethan's P.O.VWe spend the next few days talking on the phone, texting and seeing each other at school whenever we can. Between football practice, studying, and spending time with Maya, you could say that my schedule was full to the maximum.During the week, I'd focus on football practice and she'd study her cute ass off for finals, and during the weekend, we'd come together and talk about our week.My only motivation to get through the week was because, during the weekends, I could spend the whole day with Maya instead of seeing her for only a few hours. It was like our weekly routine.It was currently Saturday and the first thing I do when I wake up is dial Maya's phone, eager to see her."Good morning," a cute sleepy voice croaks out."Come over with me," I asked her through the phone."To do what?""We can do anything," I said, "as long as it includes a bed.""What can we do that requires a bed?" She asked."For starters, we can watch a movie together.""I like the sound of that,"

Maya's P.O.VI woke up to the sound of my alarm, ready to start another week of school. I take a second to shed the sleep from my brain, my eyes greeted by the sunlight.Not wanting to wake up, I decided to burrow myself into the soft sheets for a little longer.Along with going to school, attempting to keep up with my social life, and spending time with Ethan, it was safe to say I felt as if my life was starting to come together - which nonetheless, was a good thing.The alarm rings, telling me to get my lazy bum off the bed and ready for school. Apart from not wanting to be late, my other motivation to get out of bed was the fact that I could see Ethan at school.From upstairs, I could hear the metallic clatter of pots and pans, indicating that Mom was making breakfast. Another fifteen minutes or so of getting ready, I take a final check of approval by looking at myself in the mirror and head downstairs for breakfast."Orange juice, milk, or water?" My dad asked, his head peering ou

Ethan's P.O.VOnce the bell rang, the first thing that came to my mind was seeing Maya after school. It has turned into a sort of routine that we've created. It didn't matter if we were hanging out or not, a minute of seeing her face and a goodbye was all I need before I had to endure half a day without her.The principal's assistant knocks on the door. "Ethan Morrison to the principal's office please."My friends all laughed at me. I repetitively cussed them out and didn't care what they thought about it. Great, now I was going to be late to see Maya.Pushing through the crowds of people, I try to get there as fast as I could so I could leave quickly. Once I entered the room, I see our principal resting his elbows against the desk, eyebrows raised at my appearance.He takes out a piece of paper from under his desk.ATTENDANCE RECORD"It's come to my attention that you've missed quite a lot of classes," Mr. Hendrickson said.He was our school principal, which meant that when there was

Ethan's P.O.VThe excitement was written all over her eyes as I cup her jaw, brushing her soft skin with my thumb.My chest tightens at her expression and every part of me is aching for her. I leaned in close, leaving a trail of kisses on her neck. Her eyes hesitantly rake over me as I press up against her.She turns over to face me. "God, I'm so wet."Dragging my shirt off my body and dropping it on the floor, I hungrily reconnect my mouth with hers, her hand gliding over my chest. I can't waste a single second.The heat, hunger, and horniness in her eyes make my heart pound. Instead of moving closer to me as I had expected, she stood up and faces me."I want to please you," she whispers.I let out a heavy breath — almost a grunt — and my parts ache with anticipation as she starts touching me.She goes on her knees and opens my leg apart, sliding in between them. She places her mouth dangerously close to me and then opens in pleasure.Keeping eye contact, I look at her and pure ecsta

Ethan's P.O.VIf someone told me years ago that I'd find the love of my life and get married on the beach, I'd think you were crazy. But now that it was becoming a reality, I felt the hairs on the back of my neck lift in excitement as the limo pulls up to the resort where our wedding is being held.Maya has always dreamed of having her wedding on the beach and who was I to protest against it?The driver walks around and opens the door for me. "I wish you all the best on your special day."I sent him a nervous smile and tipped him. "Thank you. Have a great day!"The warm glow of sunlight rested upon my shoulders. Today, Maya was going to become my wife. God, I don't think I'll ever get tired of thinking her that way.Upon entering the room, the atmosphere was buzzing with excited chatter as children ran around between the tables. Since our wedding was on the beach, there was a pleasant breeze that rustled in the surrounding trees. Sweet strains of classical music drifted through the cr
Always Be Mine Chapter 53 epilogue
Dear Ethan,I suppose that since you're reading this letter, it means that I've decided to come to the airport to send you off. If I'm going to be completely honest, I didn't think I was going to go. Not because I hate you, but because I didn't know how I'd react seeing you leave. I have so many mixed feelings that I can hardly wonder where to start when it comes to saying goodbye.Being a hopeless romantic, I believe that everyone deserves a chance at love. It might sound silly, but after the countless romance novels and movies that I've watched, how can I not?My whole life, I believed the definition of love was two people being romantically attracted to each other and living happily ever after.Oh, how wrong I was.Ever since I could remember, I was known as the girl with very good grades, and I can't deny the fact that it was in fact true. I absorbed every material teacher taught with ease and excelled in tests. I know how to describe the process of protein synthesis in detail and

Ethan's P.O.VI gaze at my reflection in the mirror, taking in that this was going to be one of the very last times I get to do this. Was it weird to say that I'm going to miss this mirror?Or this bedroom.Or my everyday routine.My friends.My life here.My shoulders tighten when I hear a knock on my door, yet I felt relieved as the knock probably spared me from what would have been hours of overthinking.Hurrying over, I opened the door to see my dad standing in front of me. I was sủprised, to say the least. The last time he knocked on my door was when mom was still alive, which was years ago. And for the first time, he doesn't reek of alcohol and cigarettes."So, your flight to London is today?" he asked, still standing outside.I nodded. "At one.""You packed everything?"He sounded like he actually cared, which worries me."Yeah, I'm done packing.""That's good."A heavy silence fell and we stood there facing each other for what seemed like an eternity.His voice came out in a h

Maya's P.O.VThe exam week passed in a blur.My face was so deeply buried in textbooks that I had no recognition of what was going on around me. My friends would ask me to hang out, but I'd always end up declining. Time was precious, especially when exams were so close, which meant I couldn't let myself waste it.I could slightly recall the tingle I felt when I walked into the exam room. I hated being in exam conditions. It was suffocating.But I got over it anyways.Couldn't say the same about my break up with Ethan though.A few days later, we received our end of year school reports, which included the final exam grades that I studied so hard for. I let the happiness soak into my bones as I savored in my perfect final exam grades. All A's — except for that one A-minus — but I wasn't going to beat myself over it. For the first time in weeks, I finally felt relaxed. No more vigorous studying, no more deadlines, no more schedules to meet.Also no more relationship.After our exams, sen
Always Be Mine Chapter 50
Maya's P.O.VThe loneliness I felt was beyond anything I have ever felt. Before I knew it, my life changed significantly in very little ways, and in such a short period of time that it affected me more than I thought it would. Nobody brought up the conversation about Ethan again, nor dared to mention his name when I was around.Instead of spending all-day around people, I've become more introverted every since our breakup. I spend most of my days flipping through textbooks and rewriting my notes. One week prior to our exams, our teachers usually gave us free time in class to study, but everyone just procrastinated or talked amongst themselves. Nobody actually studied — except me.Being someone that couldn't study in a loud environment, I've asked the teachers to let me go to the library to study, so it's become a routine now. Just like every other day, I've headed to class for attendance before making my way to the library aka my second home."Look who's here," Jason said, approachi

Ethan's P.O.VI woke up the same way I had fallen asleep, tired, and emotionless. Rolling over to my nightstand, I removed the charging wire before checking my phone.Gabe: Wanna head to the gym today?It's not like I was going to do anything at home, so might as well.Ethan: Sounds good. Meet you there in an hour.Setting my phone to the side, I close my eyes. The moment I do, the image of Maya crawls into my head.It's been a week. One cold, lonely, and meaningless week of me avoiding her. I haven't replied to any of her texts, calls, and would head to the gym instead of eating lunch together at the cafeteria.This is what you have to do.As much as I don't want to, I have to.Grabbing whatever was closest to me, I buried my face deep into my pillow, screaming in the process. All this thinking was going to drive me crazy.I'm going to the gym. I'm going to gym out all my problems.Walking to my closet, I picked and changed into the first tank top and pair of shorts that I see. As I

Maya's P.O.VIt's been almost a week and not one single text from him.Even after a few days, I was still in a great deal of shock after my conversation with Ethan. In fact, it's eating me up so much that I couldn't even remember what I learned in class today. As much as I tried not to obsess over what he said, it seemed almost impossible considering I've sat on my table for thirty minutes and haven't started on any work yet."Honey, dinner's almost ready," my mom hollered from downstairs. Sucking up all the air in my lungs, I yelled back just as loud, if not louder. "Coming!"If I was going to be honest, I had no appetite whatsoever, but it would look suspicious if I didn't come down for dinner. My dad didn't even wait for my mom before stuffing his mouth with the cheese-filled lasagna. It was his all-time favorite so she would make them every Monday. Usually, families had their unhealthy cheat meals on Friday night, but not in this household. My mom believes that since Monday wa

Ethan's P.O.VI glanced around to see where they were sitting before easing my way towards them. From far away, I could already hear the guys talking about which girls they thought were hot, and what they did after prom (which I'd prefer not to say).Scanning the table, the moment I laid eyes on Maya, a part of me couldn't believe that this gorgeous girl was my girlfriend. She was wearing a light-colored floral top that complemented her figure well. My gaze slowly traveled down and I take in her tight skinny jeans. My god."I love your outfit today," I said, giving her a quick peck on the lips. Her cheeks flamed as she tried to hide her smile. "Hey."Maya stared up at me as I slide into the seat net to her. She shifted her eyes to me, and the worry plastered on her face didn't go unnoticed.She shoved a fry in her mouth. Why was she worried? "You okay?" I asked.Once I settled down, I squeezed her thigh for reassurance, but she didn't muster up a reply. I tried to let it go until th

Maya's P.O.VLeah and Connor dropped us off before heading to the back to park the car. Right away, I noticed that everyone was super dressed up As I stepped out of the door, I felt a rush of cool air hit my body. God, I should have brought a coat with me or something. While we waited for Leah and Connor, I tried hard not to shift around and I was pretty sure he noticed considering he put his arm around my shoulder. "You okay?" Ethan asked, "you look nervous.""Just a bit," I smiled, "I've never actually worn anything like this before, especially in front of so many people."His brow wrinkled as he shook his head. "That's crazy, there's nothing to worry about. You're the most beautiful girl here."I frown. "That's a lie.""Well, my eyes are only going to be on you tonight so technically, it's not a lie," he shrugs casually. I guess it makes sense..."Are you ready?" he asked.I smiled and nodded as he intertwined our hands together. The moment our hand makes contact, a wave of ha
