Broken Connection

I'm Selfish And You're a Freak

Mike: Are you sure you’re gonna be fine?
Maya: Yeeeeheees. I’ve told you a million times, Mike. I’ll be alright. I just need to remember to eat next time :P

Mom: Maya, are you alright? Are you sure I don’t have to come and visit?
Maya: No mom, it’s okay. I’m out of the hospital any time now anyway. I just fainted that’s all.

Tony: Omg Maya, how are you? Are you going to die? :O
Maya: Nope. I’m here to annoy you for a little longer. Wahahaha >:)

Vic: I’m so sorry, Maya, I only saw Mike’s message now. I was at Naira’s school for the career day thing. Are you okay? Do you need anything?
Maya: haha it’s okay, Vic. I just fainted. I’m released in a few minutes. How was career day?
Vic: It was nice! It was actually a lot of fun :)
Maya: How much fun? ;) are you having a little crush on my best friend, Mr. Fuentes?
Vic: Please don’t call me that. Isn’t it enough to joke around about my height? :’D

Maya’s POV
“Here, let me help you.” Jaime said and he threw my right arm around my shoulder so I was leaning on him. He gently helped me of the hospital bed, but kept holding me after I got of the bed.
I softly chuckled and pressed a kiss on his cheek. “I’m okay, Jaime. There’s a reason they let me go.” I said, but he didn’t stop supporting me.
“I know. Just grant me the satisfaction of thinking I’m a gentleman.” he said grinning as we walked out of the hospital and out of the parking lot.
I had only been in the hospital for a day, but I was happy Jaime was there with me. He actually made me feel a little bit better about myself for a while. I was also glad him and Mike both believed my excuse. I would rather die than have them find out.
Jaime helped me in the passenger side of his car and gently closes the door. He walks around the front of the car and steps in his side of the car. On the way home I couldn’t help but stare at him from time to time. I was so lucky to have him. I was so sure that this was going to work out, that I would probably give up on love if it didn’t. You know you’ve found the right one when he is a gentleman to you without a reason.
“We should make it official.” I suddenly said, the words accidently falling out of my mouth. I had been waiting for him to ask me, but I just wanted everyone to know. I just wanted him to be my boyfriend.
Jaime took his eyes of the road for a while to shoot me a confused expression. “Make what official?” he asked and his voice was a bit higher than usual. A sign of lying. Was he acting like he didn’t know what I meant? Oh well, he was probably just nervous because he knew what I meant.
I smiled at him and took his hand that was on the switch. “We should make us official. You know what I mean: the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thingie.” I said and I heard that I was getting a bit nervous myself.
“Maybe not…” he said and that hurt a little. Why was he picking me up from the hospital if he didn’t want a relationship? Was I just a fuckbuddy to him?
“Why not?” I began a little unsure. “We’re doing quite good. I like being around you, last time I checked you liked being around me too. We already know everything about each other, so it doesn’t make sense to go on another date...unless if you want to break things off with me?”
“No!” he quickly said and that gave me a little hope. He let out a sigh and explained: “I just wanted to ask you in a special way. I kind of planned it out.” I saw him blushing a little and I giggled.
I was about to tell him that he didn’t need to do that, that I wasn’t the type of girl to need big romantic gestures. But he had actually spend time on this. I just couldn’t crush his spirit.
“Okay, then I’ll just patiently wait for you to ask me.” I said, squeezed his hand and let it go.
We arrived at my house and before Jaime could open the door for me, I quickly got out of the car. Jaime shot me a look, but I just responded by putting out my tongue to him.
We walked towards the door and I unlocked it with my key. Naira was probably not home yet. I opened the door, but kept standing on the threshold. I looked over to Jaime, who was smirking at me and I smiled back. “Thank you for being there for me, Jaime. I know that nothing was seriously wrong with me, but this just confirms that I can always count on you.” I said.
To my surprise his smile faded a little, like he felt guilty. Why was he guilty? He had done everything right! “It’s nothing, Maya. You might also be more now, but you’re still my friend and our friendship is worth a lot to me. Can you please promise me that whatever will happen to us, we will still remain friends?” he said and he looked up to me with begging eyes.
“I promise we will always be friends.” I said even though I knew I couldn’t promise that. I would do anything to make the promise come true.
The smile reappeared on Jaime’s face and he slowly walked up to me, putting his hand on my face and placing a soft kiss on my lips. I gently kissed him back and smiled against his lips while pulling back. “Good bye.” I softly said.
“Good bye.” Jaime said as he pulled back and winked at me before walking away.
I went inside the house with the feeling of his lips still on mine. This was what it was supposed to be feeling and nothing could stop it.
I stood in the hallway for a while, taking in the moment and stupidly grinning at myself in the process. What I didn’t expect at all was what ruined my little moment.
Naira came rushing through the front door and stopped in front of me. Her face gave away pure anger and hurt. I had honestly never seen her like this. “What the fuck!” she screamed at me and I felt all the blood move away from my face. What did I do wrong?
Then I remembered. I had borrowed her shoes without asking this morning. My face cleared up again. “I’m sorry, Naira. I should’ve asked you if I could borrow your shoes.” I said and I walked into the living room like nothing had happened.
Naira followed me, marching into the living room. It didn’t seem like she was satisfied with my apology. “Why would you think I would be mad about those fucking shoes?! You know exactly what this is about!” She yelled.
I crashed down on the couch and looked up at the angry girl in front of me. She had her hands on her sides and her eyes almost spit fire. This was about something serious. But I had no idea what it was and that bothered me. “No I don’t, Naira. Why don’t you tell me what’s wrong?” I said as calm as I could. It was an attempt to calm her down too.
Naira let her hands fall down and shook her head. “I can’t believe you would do this to me. I thought you were my friend.” she said and I heard a soft crack in her voice.
What the fuck was this about? I didn’t have the feeling like I did a major thing wrong. I didn’t react right to her tourettes attack, but she wouldn’t be mad at me for that.
I walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. She immediately hit it away. Which shocked me. We had fights before, but eventually we would always get over it by talking. “Naira, whatever this is, we can talk about it.” I said trying to hide my own nerves now.
She shot me a sarcastic look. “You’re such a big hypocrite. You always act like the big helper, like you care, but you screw people over behind their backs!” she said.
“Naira…” I started, but she kept ranting.
“I’m glad I’ve met you in real life, so I know now that you can’t be trusted.” she spit at me.
I felt my patience shrink with every second. “Naira, just calm down. Whatever I did wrong, I’m happy to change it.” I said.
“Oh well, maybe you can stop kissing my boyfriend?” she said and her voice echoed through the room. That one shocked me. I knew Naira was seeing someone, but I hadn’t even met the guy. I didn’t even know the guy’s name. How could I be kissing someone I don’t know?
“I’ve never kissed your boyfriend. Where the actual fuck is this coming from?” I didn’t even sound mad, I was that confused. The wheels in my head started to spin and I tried to come up with an explanation.
A tear rolled over Naira’s cheek. It was probably the anger that set it off. “You just did! Right in front of my eyes. You were letting him out I guess. Did you also sleep with him?” she asked and she used big arms gestures to make her words even stronger.
And then it hit me. She was talking about Jaime. My Jaime. I thought she didn’t like him. But now she acted like he was her boyfriend? This all got me more confused.
But when I looked inside her eyes, I saw real pain. She wasn’t lying about this. “You are dating Jaime? But you didn’t like him flirting with you! And most importantly: he is with me!” I said and my voice started to become louder too.
“What?! You knew he liked me and you still flirted with him?” she asked and I saw her confusion too. I knew that if we continued to yell at each other, we wouldn’t ever understand the situation, but I just couldn’t help it. This actually made me mad.
“Who is the hypocrite now, huh? You first tell me that you’re annoyed by his flirting, but at soon as he is taken you suddenly show interest?!” I yelled. By now I had completely neglected the rational side of me.
“He wasn’t taken! He asked me out and I said yes!” She said. “We’ve been on multiple dates and we’re doing good. How dare you to get between us! Between two of your best friends for fuck sake!”
“Naira, you weren’t interested. So he moved on to me, get over it. He asked me out, so I went out with him. If you’d be so polite, please get the fuck out of our life!” I shouted. Deep inside my head was a voice that regretted what I said, but it was too far away.
“Just because I moved here, doesn’t mean that I have to fuck off. I just caught you kissing my boyfriend and you just ask me to go away? Did you just forget that I’m your best friend? You suddenly don’t act like it.” she said.
“I’m not a bad friend!” I said defending myself.
“Maya, you only help people when you feel like it, not because they need it. And still you act like you’re some saint for helping them!” she said and that stabbed me in the heart. She didn’t know it, but she had hit me at exactly the right spot.
All that rested me to do was to hit her in exactly the same way. “You don’t know it, Naira, but everyone thinks you’re a freak since that attack. Even Jaime and Vic. and I do too” I said hissing at her.
I saw her eyes become big and then I saw them blinking away tears. Within a few seconds she had left the room and ran up the stairs.
The weight of reality suddenly crushed down on me. I didn’t mean what I said, but she hurt me and I wanted to do it back. She wasn’t a friend now, she was just a bitch that took the guy I liked from me.
I sat back on the couch and put my knees up. I swung my arms around my legs and put my face in between my knees. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. You promised you wouldn’t do that anymore.
I tried to repress the thought of Jaime, but it kept coming back at me. He must’ve known what was going on if Naira didn’t lie about all of this...He must’ve dated us at the same time...and he must’ve been aware of it.
It was hard to believe for me. I had dated a lot of assholes and bitches, but the last person I had ever expected to cheat was Jaime. Literally one of the few people I trusted. The guy I had had a crush on for years.
I could almost feel my heart break. Every piece slowly fading away and leaving a big hole.
Deep inside me, I knew that Naira was most likely also a victim. That she didn’t know what was going on, just like me. But even if that was true, she had hurt me deeply. She hadn’t even asked me anything about the hospital. Not that I wanted her to know, but at least it would show that she cared about me.
But in reality, people didn’t care. Everyone just saved their own asses. Naira probably just used me as an excuse to come work here. Only a few weeks had past since she had moved her and we were already growing apart before this fight. This only proved my theory.
Why would anyone want to be friends with a failure at life anyway? My parents had always prefered Tyler over me because I always made the wrong decisions. They had never said it to my face, but I recognized the face of disappointed even when I was eight. Tyler was everything I wasn’t. He had a successful career, a good marriage, he looked decent and he was straight.
Why couldn’t I just for once make the people around me proud? Why did I fuck everything up?
And most importantly, why did I still trust people?
I had lost my boyfriend and best friend in one day. I should never trust anyone again. But still I already felt myself make the same mistake again.
The point was just: I needed someone right now.
I stood up from the couch and rushed out of the door, on my way to what I hoped to be the only person in the world who wouldn’t screw me over. I didn’t know if I could trust him anymore after this, I mean he could’ve known about this. After all Jaime was his best friend.
But still I was going to do what I never did with anyone. I was going to ask for help.
I got inside me car and immediately took out my phone. I ignored the messages from Jaime and hit the call button from a different contact.
“Hello?” he answered and his voice already soothed me. I needed this. Within seconds I felt tears roll over my cheeks.
“I need you, Mike. Can I come over?” I asked and my voice was shaking from the sobs I was trying to suppress.
