I lay on my bed, looking up at my ceiling. When did life get so complicated? My life was okay before I arrived in California!

I can't possibly like 2 boys at once, that's just sick. My minds playing tricks on me because I don't want to like them. The sad part is, Nether of the boys know I've made out with the other.

I roll onto my face and groan. I hear the door creek open and when I turn to see who it was, Liam stood by the door frame. I offer him a small smile before placing my head back onto the beds pillow.

"Are you... okay?" Liam ask's as if it's not obvious enough

"Yep I'm great" I say with so much sarcasm

I feel Liam sit on the bed next to my body. I sit up to be polite but I would much rather continue laying down. I know Liam is looking at me with worry so I look back at him, but I just stare blankly at the wall over his shoulder.

"You've been up here for 2 hours straight" Liam points out

"It's been 2 hours?" I'm shocked that the time has pasted so quickly

"Yeah, we were worried something happened" He states

"I'm fine" I assure him

Liam looks around, trying to look at anything but me. I realise he's trying to say something but I honestly don't know what at this point.

"What's up?" I ask

"Huh?" Liam looks startled

"You need to say something so just say it" I state

He stands up and sighs. Is he going to tell me or not? I don't think I've ever seen Liam this nervous. This is definitely something important because he wouldn't be making such a big deal on telling me.

"Just say it Liam!" I shout

"Are you and Walker a thing?" Liam blurts out

My eyes widen as if I've just seen a ghost, I feel the colour wash out of me and I'm left speechless. Why would he make such a big deal over that? Am I not supposed to be friends with him or something?

"Maddie?" Liam sits back down and stares at me. He waits for a reaction or a reply but I have nothing.

"Maddie answer me!" He repeats

I think I've gone into shock. My minds racing 100 miles per second and I don't know what I'm supposed to do or say. I don't even know the answer myself so I can't exactly answer, and how would he know about me being around Walker? Have they been spying on me!

"N- No" I stutter, trying to get words to come out of my mouth. "Why would you think that?" I manage to say a proper sentence

"I saw you" Liam admits

How could he see us? We were under the window, away from the door and he was inside! This is which craft I swear. There is no way on earth he could of seen us. Unless he's got Z-Ray vision I never knew about!

"What did you see?" I question, narrowing my eyes onto him

"You and Walker making out by the window" Liam claims, "Zack didn't see anything but I saw you just as we were heading out" He continues

I have no way out of this, I have to come clean

"We were making out, but only because...." I stop mid sentence. I have no excuse for kissing him back, I just did. Nothing more. I kissed him and I liked it. Sue me!

"Because what?" Liam tries to get the answer but I don't have one. He takes a deep breath and continues, "Your lucky I didn't tell your brother"

"It won't happen again I swear" I can't promise though

"I'm glad to hear it, Walker is... was in Harry's gang and he can't be trusted. Do you hear me?" Liam's voice deepens to a bossy tone

I nod my head in agreement, but Liam shakes his head with disapproval.

"I need to hear you say it" Liam marks

"I hear you, I won't go near walker again" I repeat his words

"Good" Liam stands up and walks towards the door. He turns around at the last second and stares at me, "Come downstairs when you want food, Payton going to attempt cooking so we will probably go out for food"

His statement makes me laugh and he joins in. Liam waves goodbye as he closes the door, now what? I'm left in my room as usual. Or maybe not? I smirk to myself before standing up and leaving my room, returning to the familiar hallway of upstairs.

I wander down the hallway to the room I remember surprisingly well. The last door at the end of the hallway, Zed's room. I slowly open the door, hearing it creek on the wood floor. Zed's laying on top of his covers with a book at hand. Aww the big tuff gang member reads. I giggle to myself before gazing upon an angry Zed. I stop and stare at him as he moves off the bed and closes he gap between us.

"Why are you in my room?" Zed ask's, gazing down into my eyes

"I wanted to see you" I admit

His tense body relaxes, our eyes lock and I have no way of unlocking them. I'm stuck. He places the book onto the side of a dresser near the door, not breaking our eye contact. He places one hand on my shoulder and slides it slowly down my arm, stopping at my wrist. He moves his head to my ear and whispers softly,

"Nobody's allowed in my room" Zed states

He moves back slowly and my eyes watch every movement he makes, I don't take my eyes off of his. I realise I shouldn't of just showed up at his room like this but something was telling me, through all the mess, I needed to see Zed.

"Sorry" I apologise in a quiet voice

He shakes his head and chuckles. His arms snake around my waist and I'm pulled into his chest, I rest my hands on the nape of his neck while our lips move closer together. Slowly, our lips touch and start to merge. Zed closes his door and starts walking backwards. He spins me around so I'm the one moving backwards until I feel myself lift off the ground. I wrap my legs around his waist, not breaking the kiss. But just as we were going deeper into the kiss, a stone was thrown at the window.

"What was that?" Zed sharply asks, breathing heavily as he breaks the kiss

Zed keeps me held in his arms but walks towards the window, I place my head on his shoulder. He looks out the window and I honestly don't know what he sees. I hear him swear under his breath and the next thing i know, he places me on his bed and runs to the door.

"Zed? What's going on?" I hesitantly question

"Just stay there, don't move" Zed orders before running out of the room

I walk over to the window and spot chase, standing with a smirk on his face and a gun at hand. He's come for me. I run out of the room and down the stairs, all the boys are now in the living room. What a surprise. Hear the sarcasm?

"I told you to stay upstairs!" Zed sounds annoyed and worried all at once

"I don't take orders off you" I snap

"Somebody explain before I walk out that door and find out for myself!" Max shouts

The entire room turns to silence and all eyes are on me and Zed, both of us are still breathing heavily but Zed seems to be controlling it better than me. His chest still heaves up and down at a fast pace but not as fast as mine anymore.

"Chase threw a stone at my window" Zed starts, he takes a deep breath to slow his breathing again "he's outside" he continues

Max and Zed have this weird eye look thing before both of them sprint to the front door and outside before I blink. We all run after them but they are already out the front of the house sprinting towards Chase. Chase holds his gun up to Zed and Max and smirks, Zed and Max stay rooted to the ground as we all run up behind them.

"You idiots" I snap at them

"Maddie, nice to see you again" Chase greets me with the stupid smirk on his face. I roll my eyes before responding.

"I would say the same for you, but I'd hoped the next time I saw you you'd be dead" I admit

"Maddie go back inside" Max orders

Why does everyone treat me like a little girl! I can handle myself and my battles. Who do they think I am! While I'm lost in my own thoughts, I'm snacked from the curb and gently seated into a black van. I struggle to get out of the unknown grip I'm suddenly in but it's no use...

I should of listened!
