CHAPTER 4: When No Means Yes
( Maya's POV )
I turn around to the sound of my own name and see a familiar face smiling back at me.
"Leaving so soon?" the person asks.
I blink.
Nick Turner?
.....
THE Nick Turner?
He casually strolls over and stands cross armed in front of the door, creating a barrier between me and my exit.
"What happened? Don't you like the party?"
"Um..."
"I mean did it get a bit too wild for you?"
Why is he talking to me...?
"Hello? Earth to Maya!" Nick bobs his head to the side and clicks his fingers in my face.
He knows my name.
"Sorry, I-I was just lost in thought."
He looks sad that I am leaving.
"And, I was just heading out to get some fresh air, the parties great honestly." I lie.
Nick's face light up.
"Great, I was gonna do the same. Let me accompany you!"
"Oh no that's-"
I am cut off by Nick slinging his arm across my shoulder. I struggle to get away but his grip just gets tighter.
Huh...Being so close to him would be every girls dream. Yet why do I feel so nauseous?
Well, the fact that he reeks of alcohol and vomit doesn't help.
He leads me to an isolated bench outside the house. The place seems like a whole 'nother world compared to the party going on inside.
"Feel better?" Nick says, relaxing his grip on me.
I edge away from him.
"Yeah, yeah..." I mumble.
....
"Look Maya, i haven't been completely honest with you" He says scratching his head.
"Huh?"
"Wellllll, for a long time now, you've been popping up in my mind. I can't seem to get you out!"
But you don't even know me...
"And I KNOW, I barely know you but you've always manage to catch my attention... Whether it's in school or at a party like this."
Nick takes my hand in his and tries his hardest to look me in the eye.
"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever met in my ENTIRE life..." He tells me.
What.

( Jimin's POV )
God I am so close to her right now...
I can practically see her surrendering down to me. Subjecting to me. Being MINE.
Just a little while longer...
Wait... But why is she so close to that guy?
She's supposed to be a pure one. Not be like all the filthy whores at this party. These girls would give up their bodies for a pack of cigarettes...
*sigh*
Just makes it easier to get her I guess...
Still...

( Lucy's POV )
Where the hell is Maya!?
After mingling with a few frat boys i come back to get "my friend". The beer has gotten to my head and I have to lean against the wall to regain balance.
I swear to God if she ditched me right now...
Ughhh! She's so fucking rude!
"Yo Lucy come back, we were just 'bout to play some beer pong! You're up first!" The boy I met on the dance floor screams out.
"Coming!" I yell back.
I CANNOT believe that bitch actually ditched me...
~~~~
( Maya's POV )
He thought I was beautiful? There's no way... This has to be a dream...
"Look, I've been a total wimp about it because you're not like the other girls okay? You're different..."
I am?
"You're special Maya."
Special...?
"Look I'll get us a few drinks and we can get back to the party, okay?" Nick says as he gets up from his seat.
I don't respond. I am still stuck on the word 'Special'.
Time passes slowly, and after what seems like hours he finally comes back. Not empty handed either.
"Here have a sip, loosen up a bit" Nick says, thrusting a cup of something in my direction.
Unsure I take it. I don't drink.
My newly found admirer waits with his own cup in anticipation for me to drink mine. Seeing that I won't, he decides to take lead.
"Okay okay, bottoms up on 3?"
"Ummmm"
"1"
"I-"
"2"
"Nick-"
"3"
With that he starts chugging down on his share. Pressured, I decide to take a sip.
It can't be that bad...
I raise the glass to my mouth, feeling the keen burn on my tongue and throat - a burn that made me recoil in disgust. I never liked this taste as a child, I don't like it now.
I try to put the drink down, but invisible hands grab the cup and force the remaining of its content down the back of my throat.
I start choking. He doesn't care.
I don't bother with questions. As soon as I got my breath back, I jump up from my seat and create as much distance as I can from Nick.
There was a disgusting smile fixated on his face. His eyes turned evil. He turned evil.
"Ohhh camon! Are you mad at me now? I was just joking!" Nick says as he gets up to follow me.
"No. NO, it wasn't funny. If you'll excuse me, I'll be going now..." I say, moving backwards and pushing my hand out for protection.
"Fine with me sweetheart... If you can make it back on both two feet that is..."
Was that a threat?
I didn't wait around to find out. I make a hasty retreat to the nearest entrance of the house.
Half-way through though, I start stumbling....
That's weird. I usually don't get drunk this quick.
Then I stumble some more and my vision clouds over. My breathing suddenly becomes more heavy and i feel lightheaded.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?
~~~~
Maya loses sensation on one leg and drops to the ground. Her arms shake and fall under the pressure of her body, as she tries getting back up.
She starts panicking.
That's when she feels two hands grab her from behind and lift her up. Maya turns around to see Nick looking down on her.
"What did I tell ya Sweetheart? You should REALLY learn to trust people more..."
