Summer had just started and Maya was dreading what the next couple of months were going to be like. Everything was going to see so annoyingly awkward, with her and Riley having to "share" Lucas, and Maya just wanted out of it. She noticed how quiet her room was for such a sunny day like today, no children screaming in the streets or cars on the road so she did what she always did when it was unusually quiet; she prayed. Maya knew that God couldn't be bothered with such petty things like her drama, but she hoped He would make an exception for her just this once. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how none of us will come out of this unhurt. Please tell me what to do. Give me a sign. She scrambled up as someone knocked rapidly on her door.

"Maya? Open up, babygirl! You won't believe this!" Maya opened up the door and her mother rushed in.

"What's up mom?" Katy grabbed her daughter by her shoulders.

"Guess who got a job in Hollywood?!" Maya's eyes widened.

"Mom, you got a part? You're joking, right?" Katy shook her head, unable to stop smiling.

"Nope. To tell you truth Maya, I auditioned for the role of a single mother in an upcoming drama series. I guess I didn't have to act it out, I'm already a natural." Maya took her mother's hand and squeezed gently before letting go.

"I'm so happy for you mom. So that means I'm going to have to stay with the Matthew's while you're gone?" Katy's smile faltered.

"Uh, well, I was hoping you'd come with me." She fidgeted with her fingers. "You see, Shawn's already in Hollywood and the company producing the tv show has given us a place to stay while I'm shooting so I couldn't possibly leave you here all by yourself. And I know how much you love Riley, but all these years we've never really been a family, and I guess this would be the perfect opportunity-"

"Of course, I'd love to go with you," Maya said throwing her arms around her mother, "but for how long? I mean there's only three month until school starts."

"Well, you'd actually be going to school over there." And leave all my friends behind? When Katy saw Maya go silent she quickly said, "Think about it, please?"

"I mean what is there to think about? I can't just leave everyone behind just because you wanna be in some show-" Maya stopped midsentence when she saw her mother's face. "Actually, on second thought, I'll think about it."

oooooooooo

Maya couldn't go to sleep. She wanted to be there for her mother, but she didn't want to leave everyone behind either. How did she get herself into this mess? One moment she's praying-Maya gasped, quickly sitting up. Was this the sign she asked for? Had God given her the solution to her problem? Riley once said that there were no such things as coincidences, but just the universe's way of saying "hi." Was the universe telling her to step back again? If she did, she would gain back a family, her mother would be truly happy, and the triangular nightmare would be solved. For gaining so much, losing Lucas was a small price she felt she had to make.

ooooooooop

Lucas was dreading the summer vacation. Ever since both Riley and Maya had both admitted they had feelings for him, everything seemed so uncomfortable. If he wanted to take one girl somewhere, he would have to the other. If he bought something for one, he would have to get one for the other as well, and he just didn't have the money to constantly do that. Plus what would his mama think if she ever found? Had he no shame leading them both only to break one of their hearts?

Lucas knew he liked them both. They were both unique in their own ways, but the feelings he had, he didn't

quite understand. One after the other, he kept shooting baskets as he thought until he heard Zay call him.

"What's up man? Didn't you hear me calling you?"

"Sorry. I just have a lot on my mind." They both sat down.

"Girl troubles?" Zay asked. "I just don't get why they all fall for you. I mean, what? Am I not good enough?" Lucas laughed.

"You're good enough for someone, you just haven't met her yet."

"Have you met your someone?" A silence followed afterwards until Zay clapped him on the back. "Don't worry too much, these things have a way of figuring themselves out. You just have to put your faith in that they will." He picked up the ball and sinked to into the net. "Don't forget we're meeting at Topanga's tomorrow at 9." Lucas remained sitting for a few more minutes before picking up the basketball, deciding he just wanted to go home.

oooooooooo

Maya didn't know how to break it to them. Her mother was so happy after finding out that Maya decided to go with her that she immediately called Shawn and he said he couldn't wait to see her. Maya looked around trying to remember as much as she could, in a few weeks she would wake up in a different bed, in a different town, in a another part of the country. Topanga's came into view. Stepping inside, she was the others were already sitting and waiting.

"What took you so long?" Farkle asked moving over so she could sit next to Riley. She looked up to see her mother smiling as she washed the counters, but said nothing.

"You kids need anything? It's on the house, today's my last day," Katy asked pen and pad in hand. They all turned to Maya.

"Why is it your mom's last day?" Riley said, concerned.

"Yeah, is everything okay?" Lucas asked looking at Maya and Katy.

"Uh, well I'll leave you to it," Katy said shooting her daughter a guilty look before walking away.

"We're moving," Maya said shrugging.

"What? Where, Peaches?" Maya looked at Riley's wide eyes, then looked down.

"Hollywood."

"Why?" Riley nearly yelled.

"Riley-" Maya reached for her best friend's hand. Riley recoiled and stood up.

"Is this about us and Lucas? If you really wanted him, you don't have to go so far away to get his attention-" Maya clenched her jaw before standing face to face with Riley.

"God Riley! Is that all you can think about? My mom got a job, a real job! She's going to be on a tv show! She's finally going to do what she's always wanted and I've never seen her this happy! And her happiness comes before everything; you, me, and it sure as hell comes before this stupid mess we got ourselves into with Lucas!" Maya stormed out afraid she might say something she would regret, leaving the others stunned. Riley sat down, defeated before looking at Lucas. He refused to meet her eyes.
