Girl Meets Breakup

Today had not been a great day for Maya. She has had worse days in her life, but this day was unexpected. She tries to make the best of every day, and it certainly was easy to have good days since she had her boyfriend, Toby. He was just like her, rebellious, cool, and had a bit of a sweet spot in there somewhere. She thought that Toby was the ideal package for her, and they would be together for a while. It seemed as though Toby no longer had the same idea.

The girls were sitting at Topanga's discussing Maya's issue. Riley was trying to calm her best friend down as much as possible. Usually Maya wasn't one for tears, but Toby really had hurt her. They've been together for four months, and it seemed like he was great for Maya; both rebellious, yet caring

"We were doing great, or at least I thought so," Maya was telling Riley while sniffling. "He told me to meet him at the park at three today. And so I left a little earlier than you think a normal person would, and as I got to the park, I saw him and Courtney kissing on a bench."

"That's terrible, Peaches, I'm so sorry. You should've poured a smoothie on him or something."

"No, he's not pure enough for smoothie wasting."

"Did you at least do something?"

"Yeah. I went up to them and said, 'Hey Courtney, I'm glad you're enjoying Toby's lips, because they're all yours now.' And then that's when I called you and ran over here." At this point Maya was in full blown tears, and Riley just sat there comforting her, as that seemed like all she could do at the moment.

As this event was going on, in stepped Riley's Uncle Josh. He was always in town now that he was attending NYU. He made frequent stops at Topanga's, saying that this was one out of very few cafes that weren't always busy with stressed out college students, and he enjoyed helping out the family business. When he walked in he just went straight to the counter to order a coffee, not noticing what was going on between his niece and her best friend. He only turned around when he heard Maya blowing her nose into a tissue. Immediately, he walked over to them to see what was going on with Maya. Even though she wasn't his to look after, he still had feelings for her and wanted her to be happy.

"Hey Riley. Maya," Josh said to the girls in a welcoming tone.

"Hey Uncle Josh," Riley replied back, still looking at Maya who only made eye contact with Josh for merely a second.

"What's going on here," Josh asked concerned about Maya. He had never seen her cry a day in his life, so to him this was definitely something to worry about.

"Maya's boyfriend-"

"-ex-boyfriend," Maya managed to interrupt.

"Maya's ex-boyfriend," Riley continued. "Was caught cheating on her with another girl in the park today. Maya took it well, well at the park at least."

"Do you want me to go say something to him? Rough him up a little bit?" At this point Josh was trying to make Maya laugh, he even made fighting gestures with his fist to show how tough he could be.

"No," Maya laughed. (hey, it worked!) "He's with Courtney right now, and if they continue that'll be punishment enough for him."

"I HAVE A LARGE VANILLA CAPPUCCINO," the lady at the counter yelled into the café.

"Riles, that's my order, do you mind getting that for me?" Josh could've gotten it himself, but he really just wanted to talk to Maya alone. Riley had gotten up, taking the hint, and took her time getting Josh's order. "Listen, Maya," Josh said in a comforting voice, while rubbing her knee. "That guy was a jerk and beyond. You don't deserve him at all, or anyone who will treat you like that. I won't stand for it."

"What do you care?" Maya always enjoyed talking (and looking) at Josh, heck she always wanted to be Mrs. Joshua Matthews, but this wasn't something she wanted to talk to him about. She was humiliated.

"Maya… We both know that we like each other, we found that out last fall. It sucks not being able to do anything about it now, so the only thing I can do is be your protector."

"I don't need protecting."

"Okay, maybe you don't, but I'll be there no matter what. Even if you just want to talk about your day, you can come to me. I like you, Maya. I don't want anything happening to you."

"Thanks, Boing."

At this point Riley soon came back just in time to see things end well between them. Riley handed Josh his cappuccino, and Josh gave her a hug as he was about to leave.

"Thank you, Riley for being such a great waitress," he winked at her.

"Anytime, Uncle Josh. Anytime."

After Josh had given a hug to Riley he stepped over to Maya, whispered into her ear, "In it for the long game", and then kissed her on the forehead, not caring that Riley was right behind them.

"Still a deal," Maya said to Josh waving to him as he walked out the door.

Hi everyone! So this my first ever fanfiction, and I actually enjoyed writing it more than I thought I would. I plan on doing more of these little clips, and then maybe one day I'll make an actual story. Please leave a review that would be amazing! Also, if you have any ideas on clips for me to write, let me know. Thank you so much for reading!
