Room 217: Looking around

Maia stepped into the room, it was cold and had a shut in feeling to it. It was like she remembered it. Maia glanced at [livejournal.com profile] river_dancing 's bed. As unused as usual. Maybe be got eaten by the locker? Maia frowned. She walked over to the desk and saw the cards where she had left them the night it happened. She looked at herself in the mirror, the bruises were almost totally gone and the day out in the sun had added a little color to her face. She sat on the bed and shivered. I don't think I can stay here anymore

Lana tentatively knocks on Maia's door. "Anyone home?"

"Hey, just wanted to see how you were settling in."

"Oh no, I'm good. Just wanted to make sure you were doing okay - see if you needed anything."

Lana beamed, "Archie's great. But who is this Shawn guy?"

"Really? That's great that he's coming for parent's weekend then." Lana smiled at Maia. "My partner - or well, kind of *former* partner, Lex Luthor, is coming. It will be nice to see him again, though I'm sure he's going to ever so subtlely try to convince me to move back to Smallville."

"Oh gosh," Lana can't stop herself from blushing. "Business partner, business. Not that he isn't incredibly handsome. And one of the richest men in the world. Or that the thought hasn't crossed my mind from time to time, but..."

"I'd thought about it. Why? Is there something you'd like me to pick up for you?"

"Lemon bars and a salad. Sure thing." Lana smiled at Maia then hesitated and looked down at the floor. "Maia, can I tell you something?"

"Um... I really feel like an idiot, right now. You know yesterday when you were asking me about Archie? Well... I haven't seen him since Thursday night - at Hockey practice. He was supposed to come by later and he just... didn't. I looked everywhere for him, but he was gone. And now I'm afraid that maybe once he got what he wanted from me..." She started to cry. "I don't know why I didn't just tell you yesterday and I'm sorry about that."

"Maia, everyone I care about,everyone I love, either leaves me or dies. I thought things were good with Archie, I really did, but now... He's gone and I don't know what to do."

"I wish I could believe that," Lana managed through her tears, "But why wouldn't he tell me, leave a note - *something*... I'm so scared, Maia. What does it say about me, that I thought maybe he might be the one, the real thing, and two days after we sleep together he disappears?"

Lana fought to get her composure back. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have dumped this on you. I just... I just..." She shook her head helplessly. "Maybe you're right. He got called away and didn't have time to tell me. And he's not so good with modern technology, so..."

She nodded firmly as if trying to convince herself, "Yes, that's what I'm going to hang onto." Her face didn't look very convinced though.

Lana shakes her head. "Find Archie for me?" she gives a short humorless laugh. "Other than that, just... be my friend. And don't think too badly of me if I'm all teary once in a while?"

Lana's eyes fill again. "Thank you, Maia. That means an awful lot." She took a deep breath and pulled herself together. "OKay, lemon bars and salad. I can do that." She hugs Maia. "I'll be back soon."
