~timeskip to when Maeve recovered since ran out of ideas~

Ever since that night... I made my promise to myself to focus on my mental health... Even though I was limited to do anything, didn't mean I couldn't stop my YouTube videos.

...Yes. I still get the nasty comments about David and I dating and how he should be with Liza and not some random girl he met almost three months ago.

But it didn't make me weak, it only made me stronger. Shortly I recovered, I started to go to the gym with Trish.

As for Kelsea? She and I still see each other but she's still working at the thrift store. And of course, Alex and Dom are fighting over who gets to be her boyfriend like she's the last cookie in the jar.

Me and Trish were just finishing up our crunches and we were both sweating.

"So, you doing anything with David tonight if you know what I mean?" Trish asked with a wink.

"TRISHA PAYTAS!" I screamed in an embarrassed voice.

"And FYI I'm not even sure what David has planned," I asked since we noticed David acting real shady earlier.

I thought about what Trish meant and an idea popped into mind.

"Hey Trish, two things."

"What's up?"

"1. Come take a selfie with me and," I whispered in her ear.

Her eyes widen and she had a Grinch-like grin.

"Yaaaaaas let's do this shit." She said as we left.

We went back to her place so she can get her clothes and went to David's place. Before me and Trish were gonna go up the stairs, David and Jason appear out of nowhere.

"Hey, beautiful," David said towards me as Jason kissed Trish on the cheek.

"We gotta go."

"We got some girl business to do," Trish said.

Me and Trish tried to escape.

"What are you two planning?" Jason asked.

"Nothing." Me and Trish lied in synch.

"I know when my Maeve is up to something."

I winked towards Trish and she winked back.

"Oh I'm definitely planning something for you, Dave~ you gotta wait," I said in a flirtatious voice.

Just flirting with him made him speechless.

"I-... Okay." He spat out before we finally went to my room.

Trish waits for me there while I jump in the shower.

Before you're wondering...

I had the idea to go clubbing with Trish and with the girls. Just having a Girls Night Out.

Natalie was on vacation so only me, Corrina, Kelsea.. etc. are going.

I had made it quick and immediately put on the clothes I pulled out. David's probably gonna kill me.. or probably kill to see me in this. I then made a group chat with the girls and sent out the text.

Let's go.

I was just about to leave and David was waiting outside.

"Just what are you REALLY planning, Maeve?" He was about to say before he looked at my outfit.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the club with the girls... we deserve some time to pamper and have fun," I said as he shook his head.

"No way, not in that revealing outfit." He said.

"Come on, David. You know I'm only yours." I said pleadingly as he took his hoodie off and put it on me.

"No." He said as I rolled my eyes.

"Anyways I do have something else planned for not only you but for everyone."

"And?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"We're going to Beverly Hills."

*•*•*

We now arrived at the hotel that was in Beverly Hills.

Beforehand, David forced me to change into something else and not so revealing. I just chose my bedroom and I plopped on the bed. This was definitely a well-deserved break.

"Why did you do this, Dave?"

"Everyone looked like they were having Cabin Fever and I wanted to celebrate your recovery." He said with a small smile.

Right... it's almost a week since I had recovered from my physical injuries... including my mental.

"Come on." He said as he held my hand and walked to the kitchen.

"There was a wine bottle and some of the guys were drinking it."

"Congrats on the recovery!" Scotty said as he raised the wine glass.

"Excuse me," I said to Dave quietly as I went to the balcony.

To be honest, even though I've been battling my depression and taking pills for it...

I still miss Addie.

That song is still ringing in my ears.

And for the first time, the message is clear.

"I'm with you in the dark," I repeat to myself.

Meaning she's always there for me including my darkest times. I thought as I fought back the tears.

"Come on, Mae.. you promised yourself and to Eden.," I whispered to myself trying to fight the waterworks.

I hear the door opening.

"Figure you would be here."

"What's wrong?"

I take a deep breath...

"Nothing... Just I've was thinking about Addie.. and.."

"You miss her?"

I made a small nod before he approached me.

"I know I made a promise not to think negative about myself but... I think I know the reason why I did the accident... I was so shocked and upset with her death and that one little tune she sang and-" My voice stopped as he pulled me into a hug.

"Shush. I know how you feel, losing someone you love is tough... But I'm here for you." He said as I closed my eyes, embracing the hug.

"David, what did I deserve a lucky guy like you?" I finally asked him as I can tell he probably smiled at my question.

"It was fate, babe." He replied before we made a small kiss.

"David..." I said his name before taking another deep breath.

"I need to show you something," I said as I grabbed his hand and taken him to the hotel room.

"Oh that reminds me," he said before we walked in.

"So I might.... have to share the same bed with you." He said with a blush expecting me to freak out.

Even though this isn't the first time I had slept in the same bed with him, I wasn't surprised.

"Eh... I mean, this isn't the first time we slept together..." I said as I went to my bag and pulled out my old elementary school yearbook.

I know David and I are together... I always want to find the kid that was new and was picked on. He was nice and shy but was also adorable.

"Wait this yearbook..." he said as he grabbed it and flipped the pages to the class I was in and saw me and the younger kid I knew...

"That's.. me." He said flabbergasted pointing at the same exact boy.

My eyes widen.

"You're..." my voice trembled.

"Apple Slices?" He said my nickname. That NICKNAME.

"...Fruit Cup...?" I said as he got excited.

"Yeah yeah! That's me!" He said in an excited voice before we took a deep breath.

"Oh my god..." we said in synch as our hands touched as if we have never done it before.

We were eyeing each other, and didn't move until I lung and hugged him tightly.

"Why am I such an idiot to not recognize you?"

"Hey." He said resting his hand on my cheek.

"I was an idiot to not recognize you too. Don't ever talk negatively about yourself."

"I.. I'm just the fact shocked you're the one I've been dating and been with the whole time..." I said speechless before he smiled.

"And I agree. You can say I'm an idiot too."

I laughed before resting my hand on his that was still on my cheek. We stared at each other again before we kissed.

Trish

I was about to go inside and find Maeve because I was gonna say me and the girls are gonna still have a girls night and hang in the jacuzzi.

I had my hand on the doorknob and I can hear someone moaning and bed creaking.

Well looks like the both of them finally lost their V card to each other. I thought, grinning.

"Corrina looks like it's just without Maeve," I said.

"Why?"

"She's obviously losing the card tonight."

"Really?"

"Yeah but don't go spy on them and ruin it for the two."

"Yeah, I'm not a pervert," Corrina said.

"Hey, where's David?" Jason asked.

"Fucking Maeve," I said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. And no you can't ruin their sex. It's their first time."

"Fuck you," Jason said jokingly before I laughed and left.
