AFTER SEEING DEAN SALVATORE, MAEVE SLOAN APOLOGIZED TO nova, after spending a few minutes with dean, he helped her realize that despite nova inviting the dealer, nova wouldn't have ever wished death upon dean

after everyone ended up leaving, lily salvatore was the only ones who stayed with dean. charlie had driven maeve back. the car ride was awkward to say the least, the two didn't bother to talk about the elephant in the room. as soon as they got to her apartment, they ended up going to bed, seeing as in just a few hours charlie had to catch his flight to los angeles

as the time came, charlie told maeve that he would just grab an uber to drive him to the airport. maeve insisted on taking him, but charlie decline her offer. their goodbye only consisted of a hug and a "text me once you land, so i know you got their safely"

MAEVE SLOAN FOUND HERSELF AT SEATTLE GRACE MERCY WEST hospital, right next to dean salvatore's hospital bed. today was her last day in seattle, washington. she actually had her flight to boston, massachusetts in about two hours. on tuesday, december seventeenth is the day they start shooting knives out

a part of maeve was hurting, she didn't want to leave dean's side until he was discharged. but work calls, which is why she was here to say goodbye to the blue eyed blonde. his hand squeezed hers softly as she sat on his bed "can i tell you something?" he spoke up. as maeve nodded, he continued "the day i surprised you in vancouver with sofia. as you were filming, i noticed the way he looked at you" he admitted "and seeing you two together at the wedding, he still looked at you the same exact way, like if you were the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on. i don't blame him" he chuckled softly "but um, i can tell that he really likes you, like it's literally written all over his face" he jokes making maeve snicker as tears welled up in her eyes "and i see the way you look at him, a part of you won't admit it, but you feel something for him. yet the other part of you, is holding back" dean salvatore was the one person who knew maeve better than she did herself, and it was the one thing maeve always liked and disliked about him "getting shot made me realize that life is too short, don't live your life being afraid to take risks" he noticed that she was holding back a few of her tears, he gave her hand a squeeze "what i'm trying to say is... you, maeve carolyn sloan, deserve to be happy"

there was only one word to describe what the two were feeling...closure. not only did dean know maeve, but maeve knew him. on that night, she watched as dean and monica danced and laughed. she knew a part of him was happy and really liked her, and it made maeve happy "you do too, dean salvatore" she replied with a smile that dean always loved to see. she squeezed his hand, signaling that she was about to leave "don't do anything stupid until i get back" she teased with a grin

dean grins, her and her marvel references he thought to himself "how can i? you're taking all the stupid with you"

neither of them heard lily enter, so when she gasped the two turned to look at her "dean salvatore, i know you did not just call maeve, stupid" she scolds her son "i raised you better than this!"

TODAY WAS MAEVE'S FIRST DAY SHOOTING KNIVES OUT. JUST yesterday she met the whole cast at the table read, everyone was so nice and humble. her seat at the table read just happened to be next to chris evans, which when the two met they instantly clicked. just like she did with everyone else. truth be told, maeve sloan was this bubbly girl who anyone would kill to have as a friend

BACK IN LOS ANGELES, CHARLIE GILLESPIE WAS ON FACETIME with owen joyner "dude why didn't you tell her! you even got her dad's approval!" owen basically yelled in frustration

charlie sighs "it didn't feel right! we had literally just gotten back from the hospital, i couldn't just drop the bomb"

owen sighs, forgetting the part where dean salvatore was shot "well are you guys still talking?" he asks

charlie nods "kinda. she's just been focused on filming, so there really isn't much time to talk"

"have you guys at least talked about how you admitted that you liked her?" owen asked

charlie shook his head "no, we haven't talked about it"

"mark sloan said, and i quote 'don't waste a single second' what are you waiting on? book a flight to massachusetts and go get your girl!"

"hey, you okay?" chris spoke up as maeve was seated at a table under the crafty's tent, a pen in her hand as she tapped against her journal

at his voice, maeve glanced up. she shook her head, getting rid of her thoughts "y-yeah"

chris didn't seem convinced, so he pulled out the seat across from her table, taking a seat right in front of her "hmm, let me guess" he places a finger against his chin, tapping it slightly "boy trouble?" he asked

maeve looked up at him with raised brows "how d-did you know?" she questions

"i have two sisters, i've seen them go through this stage a few times" he shrugs slightly "so, if you wanna talk about it, i'm all ears" he sent her a reassuring smile

maeve couldn't help but smile. the captain america was willing to help out a girl he just met four days ago. she took his offer, immediately telling him everything that's happened with charlie gillespie. from the moments he's been there for her, to the night he admitted that he liked her

chris had raised brows, as he propped his chin in the palm of his left hand "wow" he sighs "you really let him leave, with that elephant in the room?" maeve gave him a stern look "sorry sorry" he sighs "look i get it. the ex situation. typically, if i see a ex, i give her a big hug, and it's wonderful to catch up. you were fortunate enough to love someone and have them love you back, and it's worth protecting that. because it's rare that someone can truly know you. and if you've broken through that kind of wall, i would say that it's important to value that" he admitted "but from what you've told me, charlie's been listening to you since the beginning. unlike dean who only ever tried to impress you. and i know that it can be scary to trust and love someone again, but maybe the thing you're most scared of is exactly what you should do. so my advice is to give it a go. you've known this kid for a few months now, and he's been their for you since the very beginning. instead of wondering what it could be, why not see where this could lead?"

OWEN JOYNER'S WORDS HAVE BEEN ECHOING IN CHARLIE GILLESPIE'S mind for the past three days. "what are you waiting on? book a flight to massachusetts and go get your girl!"

no matter how long it's been, since charlie last saw maeve, she's all he's been thinking about. which is why he was sat in front of his piano, just spitting out how he felt, but what he didn't know was that he was writing his upcoming single that was about maeve sloan

Right before I close my eyes

The only thing that's on my mind

Been dreamin' that you feel it too

I wonder what it's like to be loved by you, yeah

And I wonder if someday you'll be by my side

And tell me that the world will end up alright

I wonder, I wonder

I wonder what it's like to be my friends

Hope that they don't think I'll forget about them

I wonder, I wonder

"I wonder what it's like to be loved by you, yeah" as his voice just kept singing this lyric, it made him realize that he didn't want to just keep wondering what it's like to be loved by her, he wanted to know. which is why he suddenly felt himself pull out his phone and do exactly what owen advice him to do: book a flight to massachusetts and go get your girl! but instead of the flight being to massachusetts, it was to seattle, knowing that she told him, she was going to be spending christmas with her family
