Thank you for the amazing reviews on my previous story! You are all so nice!

As you probably know, the actor who portrays Josh, Uriah Shelton, got in a horrible motorcycle accident a little while ago which caused him great injuries. That incident inspired this, along with some posts I saw floating around on Tumblr. I know this has probably been done before but I think this would be a situation that really needs to be written out. So, without further ado, here's my story.

(The girls are in their senior year, so Josh is still in college. This has nothing to do with my other story. The cover is an actual picture of a scar he has. That particular scar will play a part later.)

"What's taking him so long?" Cory had gone to the hallway to answer an urgent call and had been out there an irregular amount of time. He had left his family and Maya at the dinner table and they were starting to worry.

"I'm sure everything's fine Maya," Riley said, ever the optimist. Maya hoped she was right, but, she was Maya. Her luck was always terrible and that night was no exception. Moments later, Cory walked hurriedly through the door. He looked like he was in a trance, his face drained of all color.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Topanga asked, getting up to put an arm around him.

"There's been an accident." The room went deathly silent. "He was riding his motorcycle over for dinner. He didn't even see the car coming. He hit that wall with such force," his words were interrupted with a sob. "They took him to the hospital but, they don't think he's going to make it."

Maya had a horrible feeling inside of her. She didn't know why she asked, but she did anyway.

"Who?"

"Josh." Her heart skipped a beat. She'd had a strong feeling, but to have it verified shook her to her very core. She grabbed her bag and ran out to her car, tears falling down her face and her heart racing.

When the others arrived, they raced to Josh's room. Cory flung the door open. The scene in front of him made his heart break. Josh was laying on his hospital bed, unmoving and covered in casts and bandages. Maya sat at his side, stroking his hand and whispering undistinguishable words in his ear between her sobs. Riley rushed over to her best friend and pulled her into a tight embrace. Maya fell into her arms.

Auggie ran up to his favorite Uncle and tried to talk to him with no success. Cory and Topanga went over to their son and each put an arm around him. The room was quiet. The only noise was the steady beat of the heart monitor and the Maya's heart wrenching cries.

"It's getting really late." Topanga said. "As much as I'd love to be here all night, I need to take Auggie home." She gestured over to the boy, who was starting to fall asleep in one of the chairs located in the room. "Riley, do you want to come too?" The teen glanced down to the broken girl in her arms then back to her mother.

"If Maya's staying, I'm staying."

"Riley. You don't have to do that." Maya's voice was small. Riley looked down at her again.

"Peaches, I'm going to stay with you." Maya looked like she was going to retaliate before she pulled Riley even closer.

"Thank you."

"Well I'm staying too," Cory said from the other side of the bed. "I can't just leave my little brother alone."

"And I wouldn't expect you to. Keep me updated on his condition." And with that, Topanga and Auggie left, hand in hand.

A couple hours of silence passed before Maya's stomach began to growl.

"Peaches, you hungry?" Riley asked. Maya nodded her head and Riley went off to find some food for her friend. Cory moved over and put his arm around Maya.

"It's Ok. He'll be fine," he said, trying to comfort her.

Maya turned her head so fast, Cory was sure she'd gotten whiplash. "How do you know that, huh? He's lying, unconscious in the hospital! He's fighting for his life, and you say he's fine! Did you forget what you said? You told us that they didn't think he was going to make it and now you say that everything will be alright?! It's not alright, you got that?" Tears were falling uncontrollably now, soaking her shirt, but she didn't care. All she cared about right now was Josh.

Cory was shocked by her outburst. "Fine then." He stood up and walked out to go find Riley with the food.

Maya's emotions were on high. She'd just snapped at one of the closest people to her and was feeling even more miserable than before. She didn't know what to do in the now empty room, so she started to talk to Josh.

"Hey. I'm so sorry. I can't help but to feel that this is all my fault. You were on your way over for dinner with us, and I-." Her voice broke. She collapsed on his body and just let everything out. She was rambling on about what she'd said to Cory when she felt someone rubbing her back. She immediately stiffened up. She hadn't heard the door open and there was no one else in the room except for…

Her head shot up. Staring down at her were Josh's chocolate brown eyes, brimming with tears.

"Hey ferret." Maya let out a small giggle that soon grew into a giant mess of laughing and crying all at once. She lunged herself at him, being careful not to touch any of his injuries. He let his tears fall and all to soon, their little moment was interrupted by the opening of the door. Riley and Cory walked in and immediately froze when they saw Josh awake and smiling. Riley dropped the tray of food and rushed over to her uncle. Cory set his tray down and went over to the other side of his younger brother.

"My brotha." Josh said weakly.

"My brotha." Cory said with a small laugh.

Riley pulled out her phone and quickly texted her mom to get Auggie and come to the hospital. They arrived moments after and they all stood there. Crying and smiling, thankful that Josh was awake, and ready to face whatever came next.

This will be a two-shot and the next part will have a lot of cute Joshaya moments. I hope you liked it and the next part will be up within the next few days. Bye!
