A/N: This my first for to thing, first fanfiction and first time publishing online. I've written lots of stories over the years but I've never thought to put them online. This story is of after the Girl Meets New Years episode so watch that episode before you read this chapter. The song that is sung in this is by Sabrina Carpenter, the song is called, you guessed it, Seamless. Most of the song Maya is going to sing are going to be by Sabrina because I find the lyrics fit. I would suggest when Maya starts singing to look up the song and play it, cause it add's more to the story!
Confession #1 I am in my third year of University and I am obsessed with a Disney show. I started watching this show because I watcher Boy Meets World as a kid and wanted to see the old characters and that's how season 1 was for me. But season 2... man I am hooked!
Confession #2 I am also right smack dab in the middle of finales, but all I want to do is write this story. I already have most of chapter 2 done and I had a finale yesterday that I probably could have done a lot better one if I hadn't been writing this all night... oops!
Anyway, enough with me, hope you enjoy it!
Chapter One: Forever
Maya
"Riley loves Lucas" it was three words that sent my life spinning again. I look at Lucas and he looks at me, what is he going to do, what am I going to do. He should go over there and be with her, but he doesn't. I'm the first one to make the move out of the three of us. I sit down on the bench because I don't know if I can take my own wait anymore. Riley follows suit and Lucas sits between us.
We sit in silence for a while, I'm not sure how long, but by the time silence breaks, Lucas has left to go home. I don't remember whether he said goodbye or not, I don't think I would have broken my trans for an either quake. I did however when I heard her voice "I'm tired Maya" I look over to see a sad smile cross Riley's face. Looking at my best friend, I knew she wasn't tired from the time of night. Seeing the sadness filled in my friend's eyes, my heart aches for her and the pain she feels, that I caused her.
I put my arm around her and she rests her head on my shoulder. "Me too" I whispered so low she may not have heard me, but I know she did. We rested on each other until finally, we were asleep.
I woke up before Riley did, with a big kink in my neck from sleeping on a bench all night. I slept maybe 2 or 3 hours last night and when I was sleeping my dream reeled over and over again over last night. How could I not know my best friend's feelings, how could I hurt my best friend like this, I'm a horrible best friend. Looking back, I can see her pain, was I blinded by my feelings for Lucas, to oblivious to see my best friends heart break?
"Maya" at some point in my thoughts my best friend had woken up and come up behind me. The sun was rising as we stood in the same spots as last night, but some how everything is different. "How can everything stay the same and change at the same time?" Riley asked the exact question I was pondering myself.
"I don't know" I muttered. I turned to my best friend to really look at her for the first time in a long time, the sadness in her eyes as she looks back at me breaks my hear. How could I not have seen this before? "I am so sorry Riles" my voice breaks as I say her name.
Confusion crosses her face "For what?"
"Everything. I didn't see your pain, I couldn't tell you were lying, I wanted to believe so I did. I let my feeling for Lucas cloud our friendship and I'm so sorry."
"Maya, how long have you liked Lucas?"
"Why does it matter?"
"How long?'
"I'm not sure, I know I thought he was really cute when we first met him on the subway, but I didn't really think much of it." She had never really thought about when she got these feelings she just knew she's had them for quite a while and that they sucked "As I started to get to know him; the banter, seeing different sides of him that I didn't know existed, slowly I began to fall for him."
"Would you say you've known for over a year?"
"Yeah" much longer probably, but she wasn't going to admit that.
"So you hid it from me for at least a year, I never suspected a thing, not once. How could I not know?" She pointed out
"But you did, you figured it out in Texas. You knew me and were able to tell, I didn't see the obvious hurt and pain in your eyes until Farkle pointed it out to us." Maya protested, Riley was the most amazing friend in the world, she was not going to let her tell her otherwise.
"It took me two years to see your feelings for Lucas, that's a long time not to know something so important about your best friend. So if you are going to blame yourself, so will I."
"But I caused you pain" I whimpered
"And I caused you pain too" Riley retorted "We are both in pain right now, and I don't know about you but all I want is a hug from my best friend" Riley smiled
"Me too" Maya said as she opened her arms for her best friend.
"Feelings suck" Riley whimpered
"That they do"
We had been sitting at Riley's bay window for a while. We needed to talk, but neither of us knew what to say next. When we came downstairs Topanga and Cory didn't even ask where we were all night, which was really great of them. They told us to sit down and have some breakfast. Maya and I ate in silence, as Topanaga and Cory tried to talk to us about who knows what. Riley replied here and there to their questions, but I was not in the room, my mind was gone to another place. Before I knew it we were in the bay window still not saying anything.
"Say something" Riley ordered
"Something" Riley smiled halfheartedly at my joke "What's there to talk about, you have feelings for Huckleberry, Huckleberry has feeling for you, you guys deserve to be happy."
"But what about you?"
"What about me?"
"You have feelings for him and he has feelings for you too, Maya"
"No he doesn't, he was only going out with me because he couldn't be with you. Now that he knows you still like him, it'll be you and him again, like it was before."
"Maya, I don't think-"
"Look I've gone for a long time without acting on my feelings, and I love you for trying to give me my chance. But we had our chance and we didn't work, we worked better when I was making fun of him and he let me. We weren't meant to be, you and Lucas are."
"I just want you to be happy" Riley smiled sadly as a tear fell down her face.
"I want you to be happy too Riles, but you need it more then I do"
Riley
I had always been a happy person, that was who I was. But right now sitting on this bay window alone, I have never felt so sad in my life. My best friend in the entire world was giving up the boy she cared about, for me to be happy. But I wasn't happy, I wouldn't be happy knowing she is miserable.
Mom walks into my room and sits down beside me "Mom, would it be okay if I cried right now?"
"Of course" she said as she wrapped her arms around mine and I began to cry and the cry turned into a sob and that sob eventually turned into silent tears streaming down my face.
After a while of self pity, I suddenly sat up out of her arms and looked at my mom with so many question. But only one came out "What do you do when no matter what happens someone is miserable by the outcome?" she whipped her hands along my cheek to wipe the last of my tears away.
"When were you the happiest?"
"When we were all just friends"
"Maybe that's the answer."
"But Maya wasn't happy when we were all just friends."
"Is she happy now?" Mom asked, though I'm pretty sure she already knows the answer.
"No"
"You have to make yourself whole before you can fix anyone else"
"How do I do that?" I feel more confused then I was to begin with.
"That's up to you to figure out." Mom said as she got up and left the room, closing the door behind her.
I took a pillow and screamed into it.
Thanks a lot mom.
It was the next day and I hadn't spoken to Maya for 24 hours, but it's felt like eternity. When I step in to Topanga's I see none other then Farkle sitting with Zay talking. I try to pretend I don't see him; I don't want to talk to him right now. Getting angry at him won't solve anything, but right now all I want to do is scream at him. He betrayed me, he betrayed Maya. Did he not care about her at all?
I order four bagels and two coffees' to go from Maya's mom. "How's Maya doing?" I asked Katy.
"I don't know, she went up to her room yesterday and hasn't come down since, she won't talk to me. She needs you." I felt like telling Katy that I'm the last person she would want to see, I'm the one causing her this pain she is feeling.
"I'm already there" I smiled as she passed me my bagels and coffee.
I almost made it out of Topanga's with him seeing me. But then Zay opened his big fat mouth "Speak of the devil, little miss sunshine has made herself present." I didn't feel very sunshiny today, that was for sure.
Farkle turned his head to see me standing there and he smiled unsurely at me "Hi Riley, how are you?"
I gave a fake smiled and said "Fine, I've got to go" and I walked quickly out of the room. I handled that well, I didn't pour the coffee over his head, I didn't use some of the sinful words inside my not so innocent anymore head, I didn't lose my temper in any way that I know I would've regretted. Even thought he betrayed me, he is still my friend, and I know that we will get through it, I just don't know how.
When I got to Maya's apartment all the lights were off so I went straight for her room. I heard a guitar going, as I opened the door I saw Maya sitting on her bed with a guitar and paper everywhere. "Hey Riles" she smiled.
"Hey Maya, what are you doing?"
"I'm writing a song"
"I didn't know you wrote songs" she has an amazing voice but normally she only ever sung along to someone else's music. I gave Maya her great-grandmothers guitar over a year ago but I haven't seen her pick it up since. She always been more into drawing and painting.
"I haven't before today."
"What's it about?" I could guess it was probably about Lucas and her heart break over him.
"It's about us" she smiled
"Us?" she could see the surprise on my face and laughed.
"Yeah, when I got home yesterday I didn't know how or what I felt, so I just started righting stuff down and it turned into a song, as song for us. Do you want me to play it for you?" she asked
"Well duh!" Riley smiled and sat down on her best friends bed as she began to strum the first cord.
Good morning, you're leaving
I'll see you in the evening
My best friend till the end
My better half no pretend
Our language is sacred
Though people try to solve it
New adventures on the way
You and me together
Take on the world forever
I know all your secrets
And I promise you I'm gonna keep them
I'll be there when you are feeling clueless
You and me, oh yeah we're seamless
Woah oh, yeah, woah oh
We're klutzy, but so lucky
That I always have you to catch me
We're partners in crime
You're stuck with me your whole life
So different, out of our minds
From a planet that's hard to find
Every second every day
You and me together
Take on the world forever
I know all your secrets
And I promise you I'm gonna keep them
I'll be there when you are feeling clueless
You and me, oh yeah we're seamless
You're right by my side whenever I need you
Through the hardest times
I'll be there for you
At the crack of dawn when the moon is gone
I won't be hard to find
Cause you and me, oh yeah we're seamless
You and me together
Take on the world forever
I know all your secrets
And I promise you I'm gonna keep them
I'll be there when you are feeling clueless
You and me, oh yeah we're seamless
Woah oh, woah oh
As the final cord came to an end Riley was speechless. "It may need some tweaking here and there-"
"No" I interrupted "don't change a thing, it's perfect, absolutely perfect!" she hadn't been so truly happy in a few weeks now. It was such a nice feeling to have back "I love it and I love you"
"I love you too" Maya beamed "Know that you are my number one, forever" as them embraced in a hug.
"Forever"
