A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first fanfic on this site (and ever online) and I would love it if you could R&R! Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated!
Also, I wrote this fic quite a while ago. If anything is inconsistent with what has now happened in GMW (which a lot of it is), just think about this fic starting somewhere in early to mid-season 2.
Disclaimer: I don't own Boy Meets World or its spin-off series Girl Meets World.
Maya walked into the Matthews' apartment one Sunday morning looking distraught. There were tear stains on her cheeks and tears in her eyes. Cory and Topanga turned from the kitchen table. They had been eating breakfast, but were at Maya's side in an instant when they saw her face. Topanga took Maya's hand.
"Sweetie, what's the matter?"
Maya gripped Topanga's hand tightly and leaned her head against Cory's shoulder, but shook her head, unable to speak.
"Come, let's sit down," Cory invited gently. As though in a daze, Maya went to sit on the couch. Cory and Topanga sat on either side of her.
"Now, what's going on?" Cory asked.
"My mom," Maya choked out.
"What happened?" Topanga asked, sounding alarmed for a moment. "Is everything okay?"
Maya shook her head. "Everyone's okay except for me! My mom left! She left me all alone!" Maya began to sob.
Topanga held the girl close and rocked her back and forth. "Everything's okay. It's all going to be okay."
"No it's not!" Maya burst out suddenly. "She's going to California to be with some guy she knew a long time ago and she's hoping she can secure some kind of acting thing while she's there. But she's staying there no matter what, so it doesn't matter if she gets a big part in a Hollywood film or whatever. She's staying. And she's leaving me all alone!" Maya's voice had continued to rise as she spoke, and her last word ended in a loud shout which brought Riley running into the living space, an alarmed look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Riley shouted frantically.
"It's alright, Riley," Cory said gently. "Maya, I think you should talk to Riley about this. But only if you want to."
Maya nodded. "Come on, Riles. I really want to talk to you about this."
Riley nodded understandingly. She came over to the couch and took Maya's hand to help her stand, then led her to her room. The two girls sat down on the window seat.
"Now," said RIley, putting a hand on her best friend's shoulder, "what happened?"
Maya took a deep breath, and then the whole story spilled out. "And she's left me all alone!" Maya finished, tears pouring down her face.
Riley just gripped her friend's shoulder, not knowing what to say.
A/N: Hopefully I'll update soon! Apologies for any typos or grammar mistakes. Reviews as well as constructive criticism are welcome!
