"Maya," Cory Matthews' trembling voice could be heard through the apartment door. "Maya, please hurry!"

Maya groans in frustration and walks to the door. She had started to live with Shawn Hunter when he adopted her and became her legal guardian. She had liked living with Hunter, and now she was slowly starting to see him as a father figure. At the moment, Shawn was at work, writing about the most recent place he had just been to, only leaving Maya alone for a few hours.

"Sup, Mr. Matthews." She answers once her best friend's dad came into few. Her heart stopped when she saw that his eyes were red and watery. "What happened?" Her voice came out fast and her heart pounded in her chest.

"It's Shawn, Maya." Cory breathe.

"What happened?!" Maya tried to push past him, but he held onto her shoulders and made her look at him.

"Calm down!" He instructed. His voice was shaking and he looked like a mess. Maya didn't know what happened, but she wasn't liking it. "He -" Cory's voice cracked. "was in a car accident." Maya tried to break free from his strong grip, but failed as Cory stopped her again. "You're going to need to calm down!"

"But -"

"Calm . . ." Cory bent down to her height. "Now . . . Shawn's in the hospital and I need you to come with me now."

Maya followed him with no hesitation and was completely silent on the ride to the local hospital. Once Cory had parked the car she jetted into the hospital. The noise was loud and unpleasant and Cory lead her to the floor Shawn was on.

When they got there, Topanga, Riley, and Auggie stood outside in a waiting room. Riley spotted her friend, and she too had been crying, and quickly ran and stood in front of her friend. "You can see him . . . If you want." Her voice is full of innocence and she looks at her friend with glossy eyes.

"Can you come with me?" Maya can barely hear her own voice. Riley nodded and soon felt Maya grasp onto her hand as they enter the hospital room, the rest of the Matthews Family watching and putting on brave faces as they made their way to the door.

The world just stops as Maya hears the door closes behind them. Shawn lay in the hospital bed in a full body cast, only his face visible. A heart monitor was so quiet and yet so loud to Maya's ears as she heard it slowly beeping. "I . . . I can't . . . I don't want to look at him -"

"Maya -"

Maya turns to leave, but the door slams in her face as Riley forces her hand against it making it snap shut. Maya's head shot to her friend. "Riles -"

"Uncle Shawn never left you in your time of need. Don't you think it's your turn?" Riley's voice is sincere and yet so strange in that moment.

"Riley, let me go." Maya begs, trying to leave once again. Riley steps in front of her friend and soon wraps her arms around her.

"Maya," Riley says. "It's okay . . . He's going to be okay. He'd hate for you to not be here, and so you're not gonna bail on him. He never bailed on you and you're not going to do that." Now her voice is dripping with seriousness. "He loves you, Maya. He's your dad. You're his daughter, and not your mom or yourself can tell me otherwise. Stay."

Riley pulls back from her friend. "Stay . . ." She hesitates before leaving Maya in the room alone with her dad. Maya turns around slowly and looks at the man in the body cast.

She swallows before opening her mouth to speak. "H - Hey, Hunter . . ." This was ridiculous. He couldn't hear her . . . Why was she even trying? She slowly walks over to him and she feels her heart break into pieces. "Y - You can't leave, you know."

She takes a seat next to his bed and she swallows once more. "You can't leave." Tears fill her eyes now. "You can't just walk into my life, make me care and be a real parent to me and then just leave! Because if you do than you're not the man I thought you were! You'd be just like every other adult in my life except for the Matthews! You'd be just like my parents! You can't be like my parents! You . . ." Maya struggles with words. "You . . you're my real parent, Hunter! You cared for me enough to take me in!" Her words are angry and her tears are hot and unforgiving. "You're supposed to be there for me! You're not supposed to let me grow up like you did! Please!" Her begs and pleads are loud and her voice is racked with heartbreaking sobs. She grasps onto his lifeless hand tightly. "Shawn . . . Please, don't leave . . . Not you."

That stupid loud beeping in the room slowly stopped just like Maya's world in that moment. The beeping stopped. Pretty soon, Maya saw doctor's rushing in and Maya was pushed out of the room. "What happened?!" Topanga and Cory say at the same time. Maya turns, tears down her cheeks and her eyes red.

"I . . . I lost him! I lost him!" Maya cries out. Topanga sits slowly with tear filled eyes and a blank expression and holds Auggie, who didn't know what happened, closely to her. Cory sits down in the chair beside his wife and puts his face in his hands and just lets out harsh sobs. Riley steps to her friend, but Maya jerks back. "It's my fault!" Riley can finally wrap her arms around her friend, forcing back her own tears. Maya lets her fists slowly and softly hit Riley's back, as if trying to break from the embrace. "I lost him! It's my fault, Riley! It's my fault! I lost him!" Maya's sobs are the loudest of the family's, Cory's almost as loud, and Riley just holds her friend close, letting her get her emotions out.

"Excuse me?" A voice says behind the two girls. The whole family turns and looks to see Dr. Jensen, Shawn's doctor, standing there. The family look at him with pained expressions. "Mr. Hunter is now stable -"

"What happened?" Topanga speaks, standing up.

"For a minute there, we lost him." Dr. Jensen sighs. "But . . . He's stable now . . . I suggest though, that only one family member can be in the room at a time now."

The family sighs with relief and Maya swallows once more.

"Is he going to be okay?" Riley asks.

"He should be . . ."

"When will he wake up?" Cory asks desperately.

Dr. Jensen frowns. "We don't know yet . . . I'm sorry." He quickly hurries away and leaves the Matthews family alone with their thoughts.

Hi everyone. So, this is a new chapter. I'm not sure if it'll be just a one shot or not . . . Anyway, I don't really think I got Maya's personality in this, and I did try my best. I've only watched a few bits and peices of Girl Meets World, but I've watched A LOT of Boy Meets World, and I hope that I can watch GMW more often. I got inspiration from the scence in Boy Meets World in the episode "Cult Fiction," where Shawn is talking to Mr. Turner in the hopsital scene. I really tried to make this emotional and tried to not to copy that scene, but to at least try and get the emotional level of the story. I hope you enjoyed and I hope to see reviews. Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope everyone had a nice Christmas!

Thanks,
