Blood Drive [Lucaya friendship]
Trigger Warning: Self harm
Disclaimer: I don't own Girl Meets World
The yearly blood drive was happening and all students 16 or older were asked to donate blood. Of course all of Maya's friends would do it but she couldn't. It's not like they'd let her anyways. When she'd roll up her sleeve they'd see everything and that wouldn't go well at all.
So she avoided the subject as much as possible. But when her and Lucas were in PE (and of course she always wore long sleeves to class) he brought it up.
"So you gonna donate blood this year Maya? We're finally old enough"
"Nah I don't think so"
"Why not?"
"Just because. I don't feel like it"
"But it's really helpful. You might even help save someone's life"
"I know but I just don't want to"
"Well I'm got after school today. You can join me if you want"
The bell rang and they all made their ways to the locker rooms to change. Maya changed then walked to her next class. At the end of the day she was exhausted and just wanted to go home or to Riley's and sleep. But of course the Huckleberry had to interfere.
"So did you change your mind?"
"Jesus, Huckleberry. Don't just sneak up on me like that"
"Sorry Shortstack. But did you?"
"Nope. I'm sticking to my decision"
"Why though?"
"Just because" she sighed. Was he ever going to stop.
They made their way to the side of the gym where people had already left for home and only a few were still there.
"Maya it could really help"
"I don't care" she said harshly
"I know you care about people. You're not that heartless"
"I do care"
"Then donate" he tried
"No. I don't want to. So stop asking" she rose her voice getting mad at him for persisting
"Why Maya?"
"Ugh just because" she started to walk away and he grabbed her hand
"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't mean to push. I just thought it'd be nice if you went in there with me. But I just wanna know why you won't. Are you afraid of needles or something?"
"No" she gave a sad laugh "I'm not"
"Then?"
"I" she sighed shakily "it's not like they'd let me"
"What do you mean?" He asked "you're sixteen and you weigh like 115. You've told me before"
She sighed and shook her head and walked behind he gym where no one could see them.
"They wouldn't let me"
"Why?"
"Why else Sundance? What do you think?"
"Wait. Don't tell me you...Maya" his eyes widen with realization
"Yeah. I do" she could feel tears pricking at her eyes.
He didn't say anything. He just reached for her sleeve and pushed it up revealing everything she's done to herself.
"Maya...why?"
"Just reasons. It's not important"
"Why didn't you tell me? You know you could've come to me"
"I know. I just didn't want anyone to have to deal with my problems with me"
"Maya. You can come to me no matter what. Okay? Next time you want to do this I want you to call me or text me. I don't care where I am I will try to help you. Okay?"
"Okay. Thank you Lucas" she pulled her sleeve back down and wiped her face
He engulfed her in his arms and she felt content.
Review it up. Criticism is welcome.
