Hi this is the first chapter of a two shot! I really hope you like it. My inspiration for this story the song Forever and Always by Parachute. I recommend you type the song into youtube and listen to it first!
"Maya you look amazing" Riley gushed at the teen as she stood in her bedroom glancing in the mirror.
"Really?" Maya blushed smoothing down her dress.
"Absolutely" Riley said happily taking a quick picture of her best friend. You have to make sure that you document the day that Maya Hart wears a dress.
"Thanks for letting me borrow the dress Riles" Maya smiled "It's not like I have anything else to wear. I really wanted to look extra special tonight. You know, it being our one year anniversary and everything" She added glancing at her reflection, her eyes showing uncertainty.
"I'm so happy for you guys, Come on let's do your hair" Riley replied pulling her over to her desk.
"Really?" Maya asked happily.
"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" Riley asked in confusion as she picked up a section and wrapped it around the curling iron.
"Well it's just that..."
"Maya?" Riley said putting down the iron to stand in front of me.
"Well... it's just that you and Lucas... did um kind of date" I answered unsurely.
"Why do Lucas and I have anything to do with this?" riley asked.
"Well I never knew if you really hated me for going out with him" I replied sadly not daring to look in her eyes.
"Lucas and I went out for what, like two weeks. Maya I could never hate you." Riley sighed hugging me. "And for the record, he has never, ever looked at me the way he looks at you" Riley added releasing me from the hug.
"What?" Maya blushed.
"You can tell you two are meant to be together Maya. You can see it in his eyes. Now come on lets hurry up, you have a date to get to" she smiled happily walking back around to carry on with my hair.
"Well thanks so much for doing all of this" I said nervously as Riley finished the last curl.
"No problem I'm just happy that I have finally got you in a dress" Riley laughed hugging me tightly as we walked towards her front door.
"Have a great date Maya" Mrs Mathews said excitedly as she came over to us.
"Yeah and you tell Lucas that if he does anything stupid, I'll brake him" Mr Mathews said sternly following her footsteps.
"Yes dad" I laughed fiddling with my hair trying to put in back into place.
"Hey I am your dad" Mr Mathews said lovingly. "Blood or not, birth certificate or not, we love you just as much as we do Riley and Auggie" he whispered, his glare softening as he wrapped his arm around Topanga. "And please just call us by our first names. After all you have been living here for about four months" he sighed pulling me into their embrace. After everything got worse at home my mum did something even more stupid than usual and got herself arrested. Originally the Mathews took me in as a temporary foster child, but my mum signed papers handing me over to them. No one asked her to do so. One day it was 'hey Maya you're going to live with the Mathews till you're mum is out of prison' and then it's 'hey Maya you're mum has signed the papers you needed for the Mathews to be your legal parents, congratulations'. Not that my old apartment was anything to be missed. I guess you could say that things had been looking up for me, I guess. I mean I have my own room in the Mathews apartment; it's not as if I'm a guest or anything. Then there's Lucas who has been amazing to me. He's really helped me to get through the giant mess that is my life. There are just some things I can talk about with him that I can't with Riley; especially when some of it is about how I really struggled living at the Mathews full time; at first of course, not any more.
"Hey it annoys you; it's my job to annoy you. It's what a great daughter does" I giggled separating from the two.
"I know" he chuckled glancing between Riley and I.
"Honey at least give your hair time to move before you fix it again" Mrs Mathews giggled at my nervous actions. "You look amazing sweetie" she added as she opened the door.
"Do you have to go on this date" Mr Mathews sighed trying to block the entrance without us all noticing.
"Honey we've let Maya go out with Lucas thousands of times" Topanga chuckled shuffling her husband a little to the right. "She'll be in safe hands."
"I'll be home before curfew Mr Mathews" I giggled giving him a quick side hug before walking towards the elevator.
"Have a great time honey" Mrs Mathews shouted closing the door on my departing figure.
"Another drink Miss?" the bartender asked me.
"No thanks he'll be here any minute" I sighed glancing at my phone again for the 100th time in the past two minutes.
"Looks like we've been stood up" a girl who sat beside me slurred.
"No I haven't been he's just a little- a lot late" I sighed sadly moving my glass of water in a circular motion.
"He's scum. He's probably out doing your best friend right now like my ex" she clucked evilly before slamming her empty glass in the bar. "Why isn't this glass full" she bellowed to the guy down at the other end of the bar.
"And get another vodka for my friend here" she smirked at me swaying slightly.
"Um no thanks this is just water" I said to the bartender moving a seat away from the freak.
"Oh god, make it a d-d-double" she stuttered doing crazy movements with her hands.
"Ma'am your cut off I'll call you a taxi" the bartender sighed in frustration at the women as she fell out of her seat. Sighing I got to my feet and helped her back to her chair "Oopsey" she giggled as she started to laugh uncontrollably.
"I've got to go but it was interesting to meet you" I said cautiously as tried to pull her hand of my arm.
"Just make sure you dump that sleaze bag" she murmured bitterly pointing her finger lazily at me.
"Bye crazy lady" I mumbled as I rushed out of the bar hoping she wouldn't start to follow me or something. I calmed down a bit when I realized she probably couldn't even stand up and I opened the door lazily as I slowly walked outside. Hoping, hoping that he would be there and that I had been the one who got it wrong. That he would be there to scold me for not meeting him; but he wasn't. I guess I kind of knew that one was coming. I mean who is three hours late and doesn't think that their date might be inside. Sighing I sat down of the bench with a loud thud. "I wore a dress for this" I muttered coldly smoothing out the soft fabric. I took in the sites of bitter November night, shivering, I crossed my arms and let the sadness take over me for a moment. "Where are you cowboy? You're always here" I sighed as I let one tear escape, letting it roll down my cheek slowly. He's not worth crying over Maya. A year's relationship means nothing; it's your fault you know he was going to leave you anyway. Who am I kidding how could he mean nothing. Knowing I shouldn't be out this late alone, I stood up slowly picking up my phone from the cold wooden bench before walking to my car. "Sorry" I murmured quickly to a guy dressed in a long black trench coat with gloves before walking quicker to my car; not feeling safe at all. I let my body lower till my head touched the wheel, taking in a breath sharply.
"There's going to be a good reason for this" I reassured myself sadly as I threw my phone on the seat. "I know there is."
I turned on the ignition and pulled out onto the road. There's got to be a reason Maya, he will have rang the Mathews. But he would have just rang me. Unless he just lost his phone and went to the Mathews house. But they would have called me. Mrs Mathews doesn't let me out of the without my phone; there's no way she wouldn't have rang me. A bright light lit up the dark car as my ringtone blared out.
"Nope" I sighed as I felt my heart break inside a little as an unknown number lit up the screen. I threw the phone back in annoyance but quickly picked it back up again. I never answered unknown calls but I had a weird feeling about this one.
"Hello?" my voice sounded as I was trying to blink away the tears.
"Hello is this Miss Maya Hart?" a voice sounded through phone.
"Yes"
"Sweetheart I'd like to you to keep calm but something has happened to Lucas Friar. Please could you get to the hospital as soon as possible" I felt my hart shatter.
"What-"
"Just get here as soon as you can honey" a pained voice sighed.
Hanging up I slammed my phone down and drove as fast as I could.
"I'm here to see Lucas Friar" I panted as my body shook from slamming my hands on the front desk after bolting through the doors.
"Maya Hart?"
"Y-Y-Y-"
"Come this way" the doctor looked at me sadly. "Now Mr Friar has been in a very serious car accident and needs surgery. I can't tell you yet what is exactly wrong with him yet."
I raced into the room as I saw a lifeless Lucas on a support machine. "Lucas" I choked running over to him sadly.
"M-ma"
"It's me" I trembled, my hands trying to caress his pale face.
"How did this happen? Why did this happen? Are you alright?" I rambled as I smoothed my hands over my face roughly.
"U- th- I- I um-"
"Maya I know you want to speak with him but he needs to go into emergency surgery. If you want him to live, he needs to go now" the doctor shouted to me as he rushed Lucas out the room; my hand slipping from his.
"Honey calm down" the nurse sighed as she tried to console me.
"W-what happened?" I whispered trying to get my head around everything.
"Reports show that he was at a red light and a drunken driver swerved and went straight into the driver's side of the car. Don't worry honey the doctors are doing everything they can to save him. He's lost a lot of blood."
"But he'll be okay?" I asked worriedly as tears flew down my face. "He will be won't he?" I repeated angrily, my bottom lip trembling waiting for her reply. She stared at the floor, as sorrow filled her eyes.
"I'm sorry but I need to call someone" I cried smearing the tears away from my face in anger.
"Of course" I heard her mumble faintly. "His parents have been called and are on their way" she added rubbing my arm.
"His mum is coming, his father is away on business" I snarled knowing she knew nothing about him, his family or me.
I pushed open his door causing it to slam on against the wall. I hurried down the hall until I got dizzy. Everything started to spin. I leant against the wall shaking. My hands shook widely as I tried to grab my phone from my pocket. My fingers trembled as I tried to type in my password. Breathe Maya, you can do this. Slowly I made my way to my contacts, my blurry eyes tried to focus.
"Maya, honey where are you?" Mrs Mathew's voice sounded through the phone in concern. Sobbing I slid down the wall hitting the ground forcefully.
"Maya what's wrong?" Mrs Mathews asked seriously when she heard my sobs.
"I need you" I sobbed "I'm at the hospital" I sobbed.
"Are you hurt honey?" she asked frantically.
"It's L-L-Lucas"
"We're on our way honey" she replied in shock. I dropped my phone as my hands flew to my face.
"I really need you"
