"She thinks it's her fault. Because of what she was wearing. She has hickeys and bruises on her neck and skin." I hear Josh say to someone. "My peaches." I also hear. Riley. It's Riley. My peaches." Josh we will find the guy and he will pay for what he did to Maya." Topanga says. I can almost hear Cory nod. I open my eyes. Time to face the music. "Hi." I meakly say. By now I can see Riley with red brimmed eyes, Topanga looking serious but then sad once she sees me, doing a quick glance at my neck and wincing when she sees the hickeys. Cory on the other hand looks at me sadly. "Maya, honey, how are you feeling." Topanga asks me. I shrug. "As fine as I can I guess. I'm sorry I ruined the vacation for you guys." I say. "None sense honey, you're wellbeing is far more important." I smile slightly. "Where's Auggie?" I ask everyone. "He's staying with a friend for a couple of days." Cory says. I furrow my brows. "Why? I'm leaving later today." I tell them. "Peaches we want you to stay here until your parents get back next week." Riley says, speaking since I woke up. "Why?" Topanga sighs. "Maya we need you to tell us what happened. So we can help you." I shake my head. "No, no I'm fine. Really I...I am." I say panicking slightly. I can't tell them. I don't want to remember. "Please Maya." Josh says. I sigh. "I don't want to remember or think about it but I'll tell you. I was-we were arguing." I say while looking at Josh. "And I left to get air. I realized I left my things here. So I just walked and walked. By the time I realized where I was I was going to walk back. Just...just as I turned around someone grabbed my wrist and called me princess. I tried to break free, and I told him to let me go, but he didn't. He...he pushed me against a wall and ki...kissed me and touched me. He was starting to enter his hands into my shors when Josh pushed him back. Then the guy ran off and Josh brought me here." By the time I'm done retelling what happened, I'm shaking and crying. Riley and Topanga pull me in for a hug and I sob into Topanga's shoulder. "But if I hadn't worn the sports bra and shorts he wouldn't have done that. I just wanted to go to the gym that's why I was dressed like that. It's all my fault. I'm sorry." Topanga shakes her head. "Maya, no! It wasn't you're fault. Just because you're wearing that doesn't give anyone the right to violate you like that! It was NOT your fault." Cory says. I nod. "Honey are you hungry?" Topanga asks. I shake my head to say no. "I'm not hungry." She shakes her head. "Maya you have to eat it's already almost dinner time and I know you haven't had lunch." I sigh. "Okay then I'll eat an apple or something." "Nope while you were resting I made dinner. So go wash up and then I'll serve dinner." I get up and make my way to the bathroom. After washing my hands I can't help but notice the slight bags under my eyes and how red and disgusting my neck looks. I hestiantly reach up and touch one of the red swells. "Maya mom says dinners ready." Riley says as she opens the door enough to fit her head through. "Okay Riley be right there." As she's leaving she stops. "Hey peaches? What's on your wrist?" A bruise. "Nothing. Come on we better not make Pangers wait." She nods. I thought she dropped the topic but as everyone is eating she brings it up again. "Hey Maya what'd you say was that on your wrist?" She asks. I mentally groan. "Nothing Riles. I said it was nothing." Please drop it, PLEASE drop it. "Okay then can I see?" I pretend I don't hear her. All of a sudden I feel a sharp pain in my left wrist and yelp out in pain. "Owwwww!" I scream. "Maya. Let me see your wrist right now." Says Topanga. I sigh. Hesitantly I lift up my wrist so everyone can see the purple and red imprints. They gasp. "Is there any other bruises Maya?" Cory sadly asks. "Just these disgusting hickeys, that bruise, and some red and purple fingerprints imbedded into some of my stomach and hips. From him gripping my skin." I say blankly.

"Are you done with your dinner?" Topanga asks. I nod. "Follow me then." Why? "But um...why?" I ask confused. "I just want to see the bruises and talk to you. We'll be in the guest room and bathroom." She tells me and everyone else. She stands up and leaves, I follow. "Okay Maya let me see your neck first." She says once we're in the room. I sit on the bed and point my head upwards, so she has more room to see my neck. "I can't really do much Maya. All we can really do is just wait for them to go away and if you want cover then with makeup. Now let me see your wrist." I raise my wrist upwards. She examines it carefully. "It's badly bruised Maya, almost fractured. Just get some ice on it and try to not use it much. Now let me see your abdomen and hip bruises." I sigh. I lie down, slightly raise my shirt, and slightly pull down my leggings, to reveal the top of my hips. "Nothing serious just bruised." She says and I nod. "Thanks Topanga. I'm going to go talk to Riley and put ice on my wrist." I say and start to stand up. She shakes her head.

"No Maya. We need to talk." I wait back down. "When Shawn and Katy get back they're going to have to know Maya. You can't hide this. Shawn cares about you now that he's your dad, and this is far too serious to not let them know." She says. "I know. I just...don't know how to tell them or how they're going to take it. What if Shawn gets mad...or...or leaves me because I couldn't be the Maya everyone thinks I am. The Maya that doesn't let feelings show, who doesn't get hurt, the one who's strong." I say slightly panicking, thinking of what could go wrong. "Maya he won't, he loves you. Not everyone can always be strong but that doesn't make them different or worthless." I sigh. "I guess you're right." She nods. "Now go, talk to Riley and Josh, and put some ice on that." She says while looking at my wrist.

I make my way to the living room where Riley and Josh are now on one couch while Cory is sitting on a smaller couch correcting the movie with logic, where Topanga joins him. "Hey guys. Whatcha watching?" I ask as I sit in between Riley and Josh. "Oh hey peaches. We're just watching Zootopia." Riley says. "Oh ok do you mind if I watch too?" I ask. She shakes her head. "Oh course not Maya. We're glad you wanna watch." She says smiling somewhat widely. Somewhere during the second half of the movie I start dozing off.

Maya's Nightmare:

Where am I? I ask myself. "Hey princess I don't think we finished our little play date before." The guy from before says. "No please! Please let me go!" I scream. "Hahaha. Is he little princess scared? Don't worry sweetie you won't be when I'm done with you." He says while licking his lips." I try to run but can't. As if my legs are glued to the ground. "NO! NO PLEASE I BEG YOU DON'T TOUCH ME PLEASE!" I yell. "Quiet princess." He starts to kiss me and I start to thrash my arms and legs, trying to break free. "STOP! STOP!" I continue to scream. "I said QUIET PRINCESS!" He yells and punches me. I'm too weak to fight. All I can do now is silently cry and pray. "Please..." I say weakly. "MAYA! MAYA WAKE UP!" I hear and feel my self being slightly shaken.

END OF NIGHTMARE

I jolt upright with sweat beading my face and neck, and with tears racing down my cheeks. I realize I'm now half sitting on the couch and half lying on Josh. "What...what happened?" I ask as I sit upright using my hands to try and wipe some of the sweat off. "You don't remember Maya?" Josh asks. "I...I just remember having a nightmare." I say. "Well you did. You fell asleep on me and started saying things like 'please' and 'don't touch me' and 'stop'. Then you started crying. I tried calling your name but that didn't work so I tried shaking you. Then you woke up startled, crying and sweating." He says concerned for me. "I...thank you. Josh. Thanks." He smiles and I slightly smile back. "Wanna tell us what you were having nightmares about?" He says while glancing to Riley who was looking at me wide eyes and eyes filled with worry and sadness, and to Cory and Topanga who were looking at me concerned. I tell them everything. From him trying to get with me again to him punching me. "Maya, baby he will never lay another finger on you now. I promise." He says while wrapping his arm around my waist. A small part of me doesn't believe him but I find myself nodding. "Okay."
