A Maybank and A Cameron? It's almost like a modern Romeo and Juliet. It's forbidden for them to be together. Could be the end of the world.
The stolen glances, the hidden feelings, the unspoken words, the secret meetings and the obvious hatred towar...

MALIA NOTICED JJ EMERGING FROM HIS ROOM with his day attire still on, suggesting an intention to leave. She paused her reading, placing the book on her lap before addressing him.
"Where are you going, Jay?" She asked.
JJ jumped at the sudden voice from her "Geez, Lia!" a hand flew right to his chest with his eyes blared right on her who was sitting on the couch "You're scaring me, sis"
She shrugged her shoulders "I was just asking" She said innocently.
"A little warning before you start talking would be nice" JJ responded, his tone indicating he wasn't too shocked but rather annoyed.
"I'm just speaking in a normal voice," Malia retorted, a hint of defensiveness in her tone "It's not like I'm yelling at your face or anything."
"You're still scaring me. I can get a heart attack, you know?"
Malia rolled her eyes at his dramatic response "You're being dramatic" she stated "Where are you going? It's dark now outside" she continued to ask when she didn't get her answer before.
JJ's lips curved into a thin line as he approached his sister gradually. His mind raced, trying to formulate a response that wouldn't raise suspicion. He was determined to keep his plans hidden from her, not wanting to share his whereabouts.
"Just um... hang out" JJ feigned a nonchalant answer, trying to remain as calm as he could because Malia could detect a slight suspicion from him if he started to get nervous.
"Hang out?" She asked back, raising her brows.
"Yeah, hang out. You know, just the usual shit"
"Where? The Chateau?"
"Maybe, I don't know. They might change the location later, you know them"
She didn't know why but she could feel something wasn't right with him. It wasn't unusual for them to hang out at this time but she could feel he was hiding something. She had the feeling ever since he picked her up from Tanneyhill. JJ was being, extremely quiet.
He was never quiet. Never.
"You're not gonna invite me to tag along? You usually would drag me out with you" She asked, trying to fish his reactions.
JJ swallowed hard at the question. Shit.
"I mean, if you want to join us we can make a room for you" He said casually "You know you're free to join us anytime, right?"
He prayed for whoever was up there for Malia to not accept the invitation because if she did, they were gonna tell her the truth or...he needed to come up with another plan. He was trying to keep her out of this.
"I know, I'm just asking" She stated.
"Well, are you gonna join us? Because I need to go now or else they would be bitching at me for being late" JJ mentally scolded himself for even asking her again, he should have just dropped it and walked out the door.
