Aside from the broken lamp lying on the floor flickering, Maya's room was completely dark. The room though it was hard to tell, was a mess; pictures that previously occupied the wall now lay shattered on the floor, though a certain hand made winter tree painting still clung for its life on that white cream wall. The bed no longer looked comfortable, for it had been tossed aside and was now on its side facing the wall. the carpet was bunched up in a corner, forgotten. the chair and desk that lived opposite the damaged window were now sharing the same fate as the bed, but the desk and chair legs were now fragmented. the orange comforter chair was leaning more towards the right for it rights side arm and legs were smashed. in the center of all this rubble lay something very old that was lost but returned only to to have its neck snapped, its body dented, and its strings astew, for May Clutterbucket's guitar could no longer make any sound. Then where a small trail of blood lead to the corner between the remains of the desk and bed lays the most broken thing of all in the room, Maya Hart. Huddled in the corner with her knees to her chest, slightly rocking back and forth. Her beautiful blonde hair was mess, her white skin was paler than usual, her clothes were ripped and stained with dark red, and her blue eyes were red from the tears that never seemed to cease. but you couldn't see her red eyes, all you could see on her beautiful face was the black eye upon her swollen left eye and the cut to her lip, the bleeding gash above her eyebrow over her black eye, her bruised cheeks, and the hand shaped bruises around her neck. that did not however complete her brokenness because our eyes were spared from seeing the nasty bruises all over her stomach and arms, the throbbing pain in her head, and the cuts that lay upon her. worst of all were the trails of bruises and cuts led to her inner thighs. but none could compare to what was broken inside her.
when Maya finally came back to herself her rocking slowed to a stop for she looked around for her clock to check the time, but her time was now lost and broken for the clock in the corner was shattered. very cold and empty was how she felt but also stupid, because all the petty little things she took as a big deal now seemed small and unimportant to her. faint came along quickly to the ever growing pile of things she felt physically, she could feel blood running down the side of her head and the left side of her forearm where there was another deep gash. having not much to eat lately plus bleeding profusely gave her sweet temptations to close her eyes and sleep. Maya started to rock back and forth again in her corner as if it was the solution to this pain.
"Maya? are you there?" maya's head shot straight up so fast that her faintness increased all the more. Riley knocked on the spot of the window that was not broken, maya knew that eventually riley would have come looking for her here, because she hasn't seen Riley since two days ago and kept missing mandatory baywindow talks.
"Maya, i know you're in there, come on open the window" Maya saw Riley's hand go right through the area that was once occupied by the shattered glass but was covered by a bed sheet as a curtian, as if Riley was trying to knock again.
"what the?" Riley muttered, first she stuck her whole arm through the hole then drew it back to replace with her head. it was like a silence in time when Maya saw Riley's beautiful smiling face slowly change into a face of shock and horror, this look though was just from seeing the room. Riley hadn't even notice maya yet because she was in a dark corner hidden from the world.
"Oh my gosh! Maya what hap…" but her words were cut off when the two girls made eye contact. Maya's fear came back to her along with a slight relief of comfort that washed over when she saw her favorite person in the world still intact. and her rocking deceased because a new solution came along.
"oh Maya." Riley said with gasp breath, she rushed through the window, jumped over the guitar remains, and passed everything that was scattered to get Maya. Riley kneeled infront to looked at her and her wounds but more to look at the broken girl herself.
Riley's butterfly like fingers traced lightly over her face to map out the injuries in the dark. Riley went to to touch Mayas shoulder but stopped when she saw Maya wince with pain harder than she had when she touched her face.
"Maya what happened?" her tone was sweet and soft but you could still hear the fear and concern in her voice.
Maya couldn't answer that even if she tried. because just thinking about a fraction of any it brought tears back to her eyes. she didn't want to tell riley, riley doesn't deserve such dark things in her life. all she wanted right now was to get out this hole she once dearly loved. but now it only held nightmares not dreams.
Riley slowly shifted herself so she was sitting next to maya and slowly moved the blonde so that she was leaning into her.
"I'm going to call my dad, Maya. what about your mom?" Her head shot up again and her faintness built up inside her. Her mom couldn't know, not yet. Katy was out at an very important audition that she had a very good shot at for the first time in a while. Maya couldn't let herself be the reason why her mom kept failing at her real dream.
Even in Maya's broken state she still cared about the ones she held dear. she would always protect them when she could. so maya shook her head "no" to Riley's question regarding her mother.
Riley gave a small nod in response but you could see the sense of disapproval in her face but she continued on and wiggled around a little to reach for her phone and began to call Cory and Topanga. Maya had to be honest with herself, Riley was be very calm for Riley. Maya expected her to freak out and start babbling and falling over the mess. but Riley's composer kept Maya calm which was probably why riley was being this way. it was a good solution
"Mom, Dad! i need you both to come to Maya's house, now. no time to explain, just that Mayas in trouble, so come right now it's an emergency." her voice was soft but urgent. all Maya heard next was a short muffled answer and the sound of a hang up.
"They'll be here soon, just hang tight, everything will be okay." Maya nodded in response and realised that she hasn't said anything in a long time, even before riley got here. Maya's last words from her voice were lost in tears because of the screams of pain that hurt her throat dearly.
Maya leaned into Riley while they waited for what felt like a lifetime even though she knew it didn't take that long to get from The Matthews house to her house. Riley grew silent which meant that that room was swept into dark silence again, and it was when it was quiet that maya remembered how much pain she was in. the brunette's entrance had made her forget about her damaged self. But the silence in waiting brought back the agony she was in.
Maya already knew Riley saw her injuries on her face, neck, and arms but it was the trauma that was hidden and on the inside that hurt the most. she could feel that her ribs her hurt badly. The shoulders on both sides were in such bad condition that if Maya tried to lift her arms more pain would ensue. her right ankle was swelling pretty bad. her stomach was bruised pretty bad as well but that was nothing compared to stinging stab wound in her abdomen, maya could still feel the blood trickling down her side to her hips and onto the floor, soaking her torn shirt. but what hurt maya most was the searing pain that was between her legs, where the trail of her inner thigh bruises led.
Maya closed her eyes to take her mind away from the pain. she caught a quick glimpse of familiar piercing green eyes and a brighten country smile. a sense of warmth and good feeling washed over her, calming her and taking her away for from this horror.
but she was brought back and her eyes snapped open when she heard her front door open and close. the familiar piercing green eyes and brightened country smile were pushed aside and lost.
"Riley? Maya? where are you two?" Cory spokely loudly for it was clear he didn't know how close or far he was to them.
"Dad!" Riley said under her breath as she very carefully moved maya aside and made a quick sprint to the door for a hasty exit to collect her parents. maya resumed her pose of hugging her knees to help dwell the pain.
Drowsiness was starting to consume maya, she was so tired and it was so hard to hang on, just closing her eyes for a few seconds seemed like bliss. letting go would be so easy but she knew that she had to fight to stay awake, for herself and her Family.
"Mom! dad! quick, she's in here." Riley burst through the door with Topanga and Cory right behind her, maya heard a gasp Escape from topanga. Maya saw the look in their eyes, it was of fear, worry, and Sympathy.
"Oh Maya, what happened?" Concern dripping in the Topanga's voice as she slowly went down to her side and held her close, maya returned the same gesture by holding onto Topanga. Riley went to Maya's other side and leaned her head next to hers and stroke her hair in comfort. Cory kneeled down in front of her and went to touch her face as a sign of comfort but Maya couldn't help but flinch and move away from Cory out of reflex. She noticed how a twinge of sadness appeared over all their faces from her movement. cory backed away slowly and pulled out his phone to call for what she assumed was 911
"Maya, you need to go to the hospital. i'm going to call an ambulance. you're going to be alright." cory stated calmly then he turned to go out of the room stepping over broken furniture as he went. Riley got out her phone again and started to text but then her movements turned to a phone call. she moved the phone aside to speak to the two girls remaining in the corner "i'm going to call Farkle and Lucas and tell them to meet us at the hospital."
Riley always knew what could make Maya feel better, because being surrounded by the people she loved and cared for was what she Definitely need now. Riley got up and Move to the shattered window to Continue her phone conversation with the two boys. Maya could hear Riley talking in low tones as well as hearing Cory's muffled voice out in the hallway.
all that was left was her and Topanga, still holding onto to each other as if Maya was going to float away into the flickering darkness that still engulfed the room. her faintness came back and forth to her, while the pained that seared all over her body didn't cease once. the bleeding, maya couldn't tell if it was worse now or better.
in a topanga sweet soft tone, she asked "Maya sweetie, what happened? who did this?" Maya was about to open her mouth to speak for the first time even though she had no idea what she was going to say but she was thankfully interrupted by cory who had reentered the room.
"the ambulance are on their way, i told them that you had bruise and were bleeding, so they will be here soon but not as fast because you're still conscious, so don't worry maya." Maya noticed that he seemed to keep his distance from her, probably to respect her reflexes. riley had returned from the phone conversation with the boys.
"the guys say they will see us at the hospital. what do we do now?" slight Exhaustion of being at lost spread over their faces as they look from one another. "Maya please something" riley's eyes pleaded with her. maya continued to stare at them and at space blanky. there Wasn't much left inside of her to give a slight reaction.
"why don't you two help maya up so that it can be easier to get to the ambulance" cory suggested but again kept his distance. Topanga and Riley rose from the floor and went to either side of maya and began to slowly wrap their arms around her and lift, but carefully after seeing Maya wince pretty badly.
all of sudden halfway through being lifted up, there was this pain jerking lurch in Maya's stomach. not only was she feeling these thousand pin needles attacking her stomach where she was cut but the stomach insides felt like it was stretching and grasping at itself and that was when Maya coughed.
she shut her eyes when a rawness set into her throat and suddenly she tasted warm iron and her body Teetered forward. more pain engulfed her insides and more iron came up through her mouth and out. there was a ringing in Maya's ears that tuned out the world around her before she felt her left side become very heaving. she slowly opened her eyes to the realization that she was coughing up blood. her hand went instinctively to her stomach. thinking that it would somehow help.
"oh my god, cory call the hospital and tell them to hurry." maya could hear the twinge of panic in topanga's voice. Maya starting groaning and clenched her stomach even more as she leaned in to riley for support barely able to keep herself up.
"Maya sweetie, i'm just gonna take a quick look okay." Topanga said quietly as she went to lightly lift up a small part of maya's shirt to see how bad this really was. when topanga lifted a small front of her shirt, Maya felt cold air hit her feverish stomach and for about 2 seconds mayas pain went away, but she was pulled back when the room filled with gasps.
Maya saw topanga and riley stare at her stomach, as Riley raise a hand to her mouth. Maya looked down to see what was all the fuss about. as she started to look down Maya could hear sirens in the background grow louder and louder soon the noise was so loud that she could tell that the ambulance was right outside her apartment building. But that was all tuned out of her head when Maya saw her stomach. there was a huge gashed hole on her right that was still bleeding, the blood was smeared by her shirt so it glossed over her bruises. as for her bruises they were deep purple to show for their freshness and they covered the middle of her stomach and wrapped around her left side to the small of her back she guessed. you could also see where there were bruises that traveled to where her ribs were. as well as bruises that led down to the lower half of her body.
Maya's head snapped up to see Cory rushed back into the room with paramedic's right behind him as he led the way. Maya hadn't even realize that he left the room. Her head felt suddenly empty and light. looking at her damaged stomach took its final toll on her and she felt herself beginning to relax and leave.
The paramedics approached her stepping over the broken guitar making their way to her dark corner cautiously noticing the pale blank look on her face. maya felt Topanga and Riley release their grasp upon her that sent tinges through her body. maya began to panic for an unknown reason and her sight was consumed by blackness that turned into a bright light while a pale of piercing green eyes and a cowboy smile flashed in her mind and that was all maya could take before she finally blacked out.
