Hi everyone! I'm back! Recently, I started to ship Lucaya, so I thought I'd start writing a compilation of one-shots. This is the first one, entitled Girl Meets Support, in which Maya's father returns and Lucas has to talk to her about it. Hope you enjoy!
Riley, Lucas and Maya all stood on the subway train waiting for their stop. The friends were going back to Riley's house for dinner. Once Riley's stop came, the friends got off of the train.
"I'm just going to go to the bathroom, wait for me." Riley exclaimed. Lucas and Maya waited outside the bathrooms for her. Suddenly, a man approached Lucas and Maya. Lucas didn't know what was going on, however Maya looked shocked and upset and who she was standing before.
"Maya." The man said.
"Dad." Maya started tearfully. "What are you doing here."
"I came to find my girl." Maya's dad said.
"I'm not your 'girl'. Go away, and leave me alone."
"But Maya, you don't realise how much I've been missing you."
"I don't care. Go back to wherever you came from."
"Maya, I just want to put things right. I never stopped loving you."
"Then why did you walk out."
"Let me explain."
"There is no explanation for what you did. Now get out of my life."
And with that, Maya's dad walked away. Maya watched as he boarded a train.
"Are you okay?" Lucas asked Maya.
"Yeah, fine." Maya said, still sounding tearful.
"Because, you know, we could talk later, if you want. You've never really opened up to me about your home life."
"Okay, fine, my place after we've been to Riley's." Maya sighed, and then Riley appeared again.
"Ready to go?" Riley smiled.
"Yeah." Maya and Lucas chorused.
After spending a couple of hours at Riley's house, Maya took Lucas back to her place. Secretly, Maya had been dreading Lucas finding out about how she grew up, because she thought he would tease her about it, like she teased him about his country origin.
"So, what happened?" Lucas asked Maya.
"I don't know why my dad was here, Lucas, but when I was younger, he walked out. He had no explanation, he just walked out and he never came back. My mum's never really cared about me. She neglects me all the time. She doesn't love me."
"Don't say that. Your mum loves you."
"No, she doesn't Lucas. She doesn't care about me. No one cares about me."
Lucas let out a little laugh. Maya frowned at him.
"You can't say no one cares about you. Riley cares about you, Farkle cares about you, and me, I care about you."
Maya faintly smiled at Lucas and Lucas smiled back.
"Why didn't you tell me about all this before?" Lucas asked.
"It's silly." Maya started. "I was worried that you would tease me about it, like I tease you because you come from Texas."
"Maya, I would never tease you about something personal like this. I'm going to support you an I'm going to hep me through. I'm going to be here for you and I'm going to listen to you when you need to talk to someone. I'm never going to let you feel alone."
"Thanks Lucas. I never thought that someone I teased would be so sweet and caring."
"Well, life is full of surprises." Lucas smiled, and Maya smiled back.
"I'd better get going." Lucas said.
"Bye Lucas." Maya smiled.
"Bye." Lucas said, and he was about to climb out of the window before turning back and planting a kiss on Maya's cheek.
