Okay, I have come to a decision about updating. On this story, I will be updating every Monday (unless life has other plans lol). That way, everyone has a chance to read the latest chapter, new readers can catch up and I will have time to write longer chapters for you guys to read and enjoy! :) Plus, It helps to have SOMETHING good to get you through the horrible thing called Monday lol!

Alright, so I got four reviews last time. I will respond to them real quick and then I will get on with the chapter!

CrazedAndConfusedFor5SOS: Please, please please continue this story. The first part of Dance Lessons was great and it would be even greater if this was continued. Until next time.

Reply: Oh cool! The whole "Until next time" thing is catching on! Haha! And yes, I will be continueing the story. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the first "Dance Lessons"!

Gmworld: I love that maya is the most affected because it perfectly makes sense. She had to face so many peopl leaving her so she would hurt the most.

Reply: Yeah, right?! That's what I was thinking!

ILoveFanFiction0924: PLEASE CONTINUE! I love your story, you made me fall inn love with 5sos too, can I suggest that when Michael and Maya see each other, she runs away? Mayael is my life in this story. Continue, you are a great writer. 3

Reply: I am so glad you love my stories! And I'm happy that I made you fall in love with 5SOS. Their a great band! Also, I REALLY like that idea. I might have to put that in here! :)

Angel1D98: It is soooo cute that Michael wants to see Maya again but sad that Maya still did not move on

Reply: True, but don't worry! It will add to the story later on and you'll see why I did it! :)

Okie dokie, that's all the reviews! But one more thing before you go. I'm thinking about how I want to respond to you guys reviews and I was wondering what you thought about only replying to guests on here, and I'll PM my responses to members. What do you think? Should I do it that way or just keep on with this? Let me know! Until next time...

"Maya, come on! You have to get out of bed!" Riley shouted from the other side of the door.

"I don't wanna!" She got back a childish pouting voice.

Sighing, Riley felt above the door for the hidden key. Using it to open the door, she carefully walked in. It was kind of hard to believe the sight in front of her. Six months ago, her friend had been so happy. She was doing what she loved, painting, for a living. She had met a great guy and was really happy with him. But then, Michael and the other guys had left and something inside of Maya broke. Riley missed her old friend and while she understood that it takes time to move on, but this was getting rather ridiculous.

"Maya, please. My boss said that if you don't come back and finish your mural, he's going to find someone else to paint over it. Come on, I need you." Riley tried.

Maya didn't respond. Instead, she curled into a tighter ball underneath the covers. That was not a good idea. Seeing her friend wasting her life away over some guy that left six months ago was pissing Riley off, big time. She had lost Luke, she knew it was hard but her friend seriously needed to move on!

"Maya, if you don't get up this instant, I am going to go find my sewing kit, take out a needle, and poke you in the butt with it! Now GET UP!" she shouted.

Maya groaned before turning over and pulling the covers away from her face. "Riley, GET OUT!" she shouted before pulling the covers back over her head and once more turning to the wall.

Riley felt tears prickling the backs of her eyes. Six months ago, her friend never would have treated her like this. As she walked out of the room, she paused. If Maya wouldn't or couldn't get over her break up herself, Riley was going to make her. One way or another, she was going to fix her friend...Once she figured out how to do that. For now, getting her out of bed would have to be good enough. So, where had she put that sewing kit of hers?

"Dude, what's wrong?" Calum asked Luke as he walked to the back of the RV. His friend had been hogging the bed area in the back all day and he wanted to know why. Mostly so he could get fix whatever it was and make Luke move so he could get some sleep, but he didn't think his friend needed to know that.

" It's R-" Calum heard the R and jumped in.

"Riley? Dude, don't freak. Alright? She's going to be off the wall excited to see you again!" He grinned, but his grin faltered when Luke didn't look any happier. In fact, he looked even more upset now. "Great" Calum thought "Now I'm never going to get sleep". He sighed, giving in, and sat next to Luke.

" Okay. Explain" he said.

" It's Riley's facebook. You know how I check it out every once in a while" Luke started.

" If you mean you obsess over everything she posts, then yes. I believe I do."

" Yeah well, the past month or so, she's been posting a lot of pictures with her and this guy" Luke said. Calum would've laughed at how disgusted Luke sounded when he said 'guy' if not for the fact that he could see just how much this upset his friend.

Of course, then Luke showed him the pictures and his heart nearly broke for him. The pictures were all of Riley and Lucas, the guy that had punched the crap out of Luke when they had first met the girls. He looked over at his friend and saw the hurt, sadness and rage taking turns flashing across his face. This had to suck but, Calum had no clue what to do to help his friend. What could you do to help someone who had just found out that the girl he loved more than anything, the girl he had risked his career for, was done with him and had moved on with some other guy? Calum's heart sank, what if Gloria had also moved on? What if she no longer wanted or needed him? Suddenly, he knew all too well how his friend must feel. And dag, it sucked.

Riley was celebrating a small victory as she walked back to Maya's room. She had found the perfect needle. Now she just had to gather the courage to do what needed to be done. Taking a deep breath and holding it in, she walked to the bed and stuck the needle right on Maya's Butt cheek.

"Ahh!" Her friend screamed, jumping up and flying out of the bed.

Riley took this moment of disorientation to try and escape with her life and she ran. It did not work. She simply had not moved fast enough because as she ran toward the door, she got tackled from behind. Landing hard on the floor, she felt the air whooshing out of her lungs. Yeah, she was dead.

"Why the heck did you do that?!" Maya screamed in her ear.

" It was the only way!" Riley got out before her face was pushed into the carpet. She made a mental note that carpet tasted horrible.

" The only way t what?! Anger the crap out of me?!" Maya shouted, her anger rushing through her.

"The only way to get you out of that dag on bed! The only way-" And then there was carpet in her mouth again. Riley groaned, this was totally not a fair fight!

" If I want to sleep in, then you let me sleep in! You don't stab me in the butt with a needle!"

Riley pushed against Maya's hand and came up for air. " All you've done the last six months is sleep and sulk!" She yelled.

Maya tried to push her down again but now Riley's anger was fully on. Pushing with all her strength, Riley managed to get Maya off of her before she turned and pinned Maya to the ground, holding her firmly in place.

" Ever since he left, all you do is sleep and sulk! You barely eat, you never go out and you sure as Hades haven't even tried to move on!" Riley yelled. At the pure mention of him, Maya shut down. She thrashed, trying to pull away. Trying to run so that she wouldn't have to face the truth. So that she wouldn't have to admit that yet another person had left her. She wouldn't because, she simply couldn't.

Seeing the brokenness in Maya's eyes, Riley softened her tone." Maya, I know it's hard. We all know" She explained, as their two other apartment buddies walked to the doorway. " We all lost one of them. We know it's hard but, you have to move on. Let me, let us, help you. Please, Maya. I'm begging you. I can't stand not having my real best friend around"

As Maya looked up, she saw the girl pinning her down was near tears. She may be heartbroken, she may be broken period, but that wasn't an excuse for her to cause her friend pain. "I'm sorry" Maya whispered, reaching up to hug Riley. The others rushed to join the hug. They sat there, for lord only knows how long, just hugging and being there for each other. No one spoke, they didn't need to. They understood that sometimes, the best way to be there for someone, is to just be there with them.
