2021-10-03 20:07:18Maya didn't realize how much she had wanted to kiss Reid. But averting her eyes from his pouty pink lips she looked deeply into his brown orbs and whispered again "you won't" the look in her eyes was one of promise. She knew she shouldn't have made a promise like that but Reid looked like he was torturing himself. And the truth was she couldn't let him continue doing that to himself. Even after all the terrible things he had done to her and all the things he had put her through, she just didn't have the heart to let him be in that sort of pain. He had walked around with the guilt of his family for thirteen years and there was no way she was going to let him walk around with the guilt of her involvement.
"I think you should go" Reid whispered, looking away from her. His voice faltered for a moment but he had already chained himself to self pity and self loathing and he didn’t need Ma

What are you thinking about?" Maya asked, looking up at Reid. They were both snuggled together on Reid's bed. His eyes were closed and he had a small smile on his face. Maya had never seen him that relaxed and careless since she had met him, it was a really nice thing to see, especially with everything that's going on. His body was lying carelessly on the bed, with his one strong arm wrapped around Maya's frame and the other leisurely supporting his head. He looked 'chill' and that was definitely not a word used to describe Reid. "Nothing." He spoke barely above a whisper, making no move to open his eyes or change his position. "Don't lie" Maya pressed for more information, as much as she had been restraining herself in the past, when it came to Reid, she was now not worried about pretences. "I want to know what's goi

"Fucking shit man!" Maya cried out clutching her arm to her body "bloody fucking hell, are you fucking serious Reid?" Reid was conflicted, he didn't think his shoulder lock was on tight enough to actually dislocate her shoulder, he thought he could just hold it long enough for her to feel some pain and then give up. The outcome was completely opposite of what he intended. A part of him felt terrible for her and that he was the cause of it but another part of him – the scared part of him – was happy he did it cause at least now she'd never want to fight again. "I didn't think I was holding you tightly enough for that to happen." Reid explained "I am soo sorry"Riley, Joel and

There was something so freeing about having made Reid pass out. Maya felt like she was on cloud nine, conquering the big bad wolf. Effectively putting him in his place, it never got old. Once Reid came to, Maya was already in her room, getting ready for family lunch. It was currently Friday and in the short time that she had spent with the Dawson family the more she missed her own. "I want to go out tonight..." Riley thought out loud as Maya was putting on a different change of clothes. "Go out?" Hazel eyes lit up making them change to a green glow. Maya was very interested in that "out where?" "We can go to a club or something" Riley shrugged, not really sure of the hot spots around their area. To be honest, it has been a while since Riley and Joel

"Maya!" Reid yelled over the chaos, music was still pounding through the speakers and people were screaming for their lives. It was a gruesome scene, bodies laid all over the floor. Some people had died and others you could tell were pretending to be dead, trying their best not to make a move but anyone with eyes could see the heavy breathing and in some cases, bodies shaking out of fear. "You and Riley continue to look for Maya in here, Joel and I will look outside!" Jordan shouted at Reid "bring her back brother" With a nod and Riley following right behind him, Reid walked with sure steps and moved people out of his way trying to find his girl. They had had such a great night before all of this madness happened. But you see that's what Vermont does, that's what happened with Rosey. He waited till Reid was absolutely ena

Reid had gone to bed with the biggest smile on his face, it really did grow ear to ear. He couldn't stop it, he was smiling so big that his cheeks ached at the movement. But that ache was all forgotten the moment he thought about why he was smiling so much. Maya was tucked by his side, innocently sleeping and everything was okay. They weren't fighting each other, they weren't fighting anyone. For the first time in what felt like months - but was probably a couple of weeks - Reid felt hope that Maya felt every bit intoxicated with him as he felt with her.Stealing one more glance at the beauty beside him, he adjust the pillow and fell into a peaceful slumber. Eyes tightly closed and everything fading to black, this was going to be the best sleep of his life. If only it lasted longer than two minutes. Reid was jolted awake by Maya jumping on the bed.

"Two shots of tequila please" Maya asked the bartender."Black or silver?" He responded "Black" was her reply. She was sitting at the bar, watching as the scenery blurred by. The bartender placed two shot glasses on the counter separating them and skillfully flipped the tequila bottle only to tip its strong dark contents into the aforementioned glasses. Without saying a word, he placed the bottle on the shelf behind him and slid a shaker full of salt and a small plate filled with lemons. Maya briefly looked at him and gave a small smile. Returning the smile the bartender added a small wink and moved to serve another customer. From the opposite end of the cart that held the bar, the door slid open and Maya turned her focus to the sound. Reid walked in, in a

"So you've been lying to me?" The entire Dawson clan didn't know how to respond to that question. It wasn't that simple, it wasn't like they didn't want to share the information. They knew that they would get resistance. "This whole entire time! You've been lying to me? What the fuck happened to trust? Huh? What happened to it being a team effort?" Riley cringed as she was being yelled at, this wasn't supposed to happen. Timing wasn't on their side, fate had rolled the dice and this was the beginning of their end. "I can't believe you guys, you're supposed to be my family." Jordan was out of words. "Don't you dare say that!" Amelia reprimanded "we are your family." "Apparently not, if you're keeping secrets from me. Damn it! I'm so stupid." Jordan could not wrap his head around this level of betrayal. It was a concept so

Sometimes in life you have to choose between doing what’s best for everyone and doing what’s best for you. Those decisions are never easy especially if there’s a whole storm of emotions swirling around your head. It’s even harder to make the best moral decisions when everything inside you screams against it. Maya found herself having troubles sleeping, despite the fact that she told Jordan that she was tired. Sleep eluded her, but it gave her more time to think and really evaluate everything in her life, especially Reid and the whole Dawson clan. How could she continue this journey with them after having found out their true intentions? Wouldn’t that make her stupid and naive? How can she believe anything that comes out of their mouths. And how could her dad be connected. Growing up it never seemed like her dad was any of the things Jordan had said he was. Wh

Reid Dawson of The Dawson’s: The Man In Black XXIV
Sometimes when you care about someone, you tend to do things that are completely out of character for you. You say things, act a certain way, go a little extra - you know, put your best foot forward. Do all sorts of things to impress the person you care about simply because you want them to see you. Really, really see you. If they want soft, you give them soft. If they want to feel protected, you make sure to protect them. However, some people can’t go against their nature like that. As hard as they try, they are stuck in their ways and there’s not much you can do to sway them. Maya was the oxymoron that contained both these attributes. After having thought long and hard about her place in the Dawson family’s war, she wanted to be their protector, their savior and most importantly their freedom fighter. That being said, in true Maya fashion, she wanted to do i

The room was spinning. It was on an endless loop, going faster and faster at every turn. The ceiling soon meshed into the walls and the walls swirled into the floor, every element in the bathroom dancing and flowing into the next. One into the other, no lines or corners to show a separation of any kind. Maya leaned further into the toilet bowl heaving dry emptiness. Her body shook with the knowing fact that it was a matter of when instead of if - that she was going to die. Vermont had only seemed like a ghost of a rival just a few hours ago. A figment of the collective imagination but now with the hard facts of his rotting heart, inexcusable actions and limitless ideas of how far he was willing to go to inflict pain, she knew that he was very real. The poor family she had found herself attached to had survived horrors that no normal person would have gone through in a full life time. Or s

After what seemed like ages, the plane finally landed. Maya didn’t know where they were, not like it mattered anyway, her life was already flipped inside out. Everyone grabbed their bags and made their way to a lone black Range Rover and piled in. The air in the car was still, and extremely tense and no one said a thing to lessen it. As the car pulled off from the private airstrip, the scenery greeted the Dawson family with a warm embrace. Trees lined on either side of the road , stretching on for miles on end. The bright reds and yellows that bounced poignantly off the leaves brought color back into Maya’s life. The road was an intense charcoal grey color with contrasting yellow lines - that matched the autumn leaves - running in the middle and on either side of the road. The dark gloom hanging in the sky seemed to add to the beauty of the picturesque landscape laid before th

“Are you mental!?” Reid roared, rampaging through anything in his path. Once Jordan had agreed to Maya’s condition the air on the plane shifted and everyone had their own qualms with Jordan. They couldn’t fathom how he could agree to let Maya leave their life after she had become such a big part of it. Sending strong setted browed glares his way. “Don’t look at me like that” Jordan tutted back in a bitter tone “if you hadn’t lied to her” he spoke to his family -in a condescending tone - pointing at Maya as he addressed them “we wouldn’t be here. Frankly, your actions forced my hand.” And with that he left them gaping at the floor at his unruly tone and disappeared into one of the doors towards the back of the plane. Maya sat there perplexed, not
