As I said I would do, here is the GMNY songfic. It is based on Lucky One by Simple Plan (again, I recommend you listen to it). Thank you jordan. honeycutt. 7 for checking my mistakes and thanks everyone that faved/followed/reviewed. BTW, this is more focused on Maya and her feelings and not that much on Lucaya. Hope you like it anyways.

Disclaimer: Me no own nothing

Lucky One

I wish it could be easy

But it never goes that way

It's never like the movies

It's never like they say

Well, maybe one day I'll be back on my feet

And all of this pain will be gone

Lucky One- Simple Plan

Maya is so over her dungeon of sadness. She is sick of feeling depressed and crying when no one is looking. She wants to be happy like her best friend. To do that, she breaks her rule and actually starts believing in something; in happiness. And for a while, Maya actually thinks it is possible. Shawn enters her life, Katy is more present, her art class is safe…Riley says she likes Lucas as brother only, and the latter almost kissed her. But, of course, life let her down, yet again.

The blonde doesn't know what to think or what to do. She wishes it would be simple; she likes Lucas, Lucas likes her back, they date happily and Riley is not in the middle of it. And for a second, Maya really this it will be that way; when they are in the campfire and the brunette leaves them alone and Lucas grabs her face and strokes her cheek with his thumb and pulls his face to hers. But the moment ends, they leave Texas and instead of feeling happy, Maya just feels confused. Everything is wrong: the dates are awkward; Riley is going out with Charlie Gardner and is keeping a secret. The blonde doesn't pressure her to tell her what is it about, though. She knows the brunette will tell her when she's ready. But her reasons aren't completely selfless; she's smart enough to know whatever Riley is keeping from her is going to hurt her.

Then, to make everything worse, the Forgiveness Project happens. And that week, Maya cries enough to fill an ocean. Her friends are totally supportive, though, and she appreciates it more than she lets them know. Farkle hugs her and offers to do her math homework, and Zay bakes her some brownies. Lucas, well, Lucas behaves as a total gentleman and comforts her as much as he can. And Riley…all the awkwardness that they had been feeling lately, it goes away; the brunette behaves like her normal cheerful self and tries to be the best friend she can to Maya in this time of need. It is the only good things that come out of her trouble with her father.

But the week goes away and New Year comes along. Everything with Lucas is fine; they are less stiff around each other and Maya starts to think maybe it could all work out. Then Farkle opens his big mouth and crushes all of her dreams. 'Riley still loves Lucas,' he says. Even though the blonde suspects it, hearing him say the words out loud devastates her. Maya exchanges a look with Lucas but doesn't really get what he is trying to say. She normally reads him easily, just like he does with her, but in this occasion, she is not able to understand all the emotions filling his eyes. But she looks at him anyways, because at least it calms her down and prevents her from: either throwing herself off the roof or yelling at her best friend for lying.

After a few minutes, Maya's legs start to feel weak and she plops down on the bench Charlie Gardner and Auggie were sitting on before. She hears Lucas and Riley joining her but she doesn't look up or talk. She's too deep in her thoughts. 'Of course if couldn't be so easy; I can't believe I actually thought this would work,' she thinks to herself. She's mad at Riley for lying, at Lucas for being so confusing, at Farkle for not thinking about her feelings, and at herself, for believing.

Maya stands up ten minutes later. She wants to go home and sleep, maybe paint. Her best friend tells her not to go yet, but the blonde says, 'I'll talk to you later, Honey. Bye, Cowboy,' and goes down the stairs. She walks home slowly, repeating the events of that day in her head. It hurts. That's why she never had faith in things before; they just crush you from the inside.

She enters her house and heads immediately to her room. She's alone anyways; her mother is at some fancy restaurant with Shawn having fun, unlike her. The blonde takes a blank canvas and her brushes and paint out of her and not even thinking about it, starts painting. It is like she's possessed; her hands find their way without consulting her brain first and without even realizing it, a whole hour past and she finished her drawing. It is of her own deep blue eyes, with a couple reflected on them; a brunette girl and a blonde guy, both tall. Tears are falling from the eyes of the painting. It's depressing.

'I'm not going to lose hope' Maya tells herself. She definitely didn't expect it to happen, but once she got to feel what having faith felt like, she realized she actually likes it. She is not ready to lose that feeling just yet. She takes the drawing out of its stand and hides it under the bed. (She wants to break it in a million pieces, but the painting is so beautiful she can't bring herself to do it).

Then, she takes another white canvas and concentrates. Even if she's not feeling very hopeful, she is going to paint only things that make her think of hope. It is really abstract; just every little thing that makes her feel happy. She paints her mother and Shawn; a heart locket; a turtleneck; a purple cat; a cowboy hat. She draws a tater tot with eyes on it; Farkle tap dancing; the Topanga's logo; multiple swirls of color. The black dress Shawn bought her; Mr. Matthews' classroom; brushes and paint; a campfire and the shadow of a couple almost kissing. And she tops it writing 'HOPE' in bright blue. When she finishes, she realizes she actually feels better.

A soft cough makes her take her eyes out of her painting and turn around. Lucas is standing inside her room, a few feet from the window, looking at her. She asks him what is he doing in her bedroom and he answers that it didn't feel good, letting her go alone and upset. She thanks him but tells him he should be alone; being with her won't help him come to any conclusion. He knows she's right but in the past few weeks, he had gotten used to her company and he misses her. That just made his decision even more confusing.

Riley or Maya. Day or night. He knows he's hurting both of them by leading them on, but can't bring himself to choose. He liked them both. Sensing his distress, Maya tells him he needs to take his time to think and to stop giving her his 'Huckleberry lost puppy face'. Lucas smiles because one of the things he likes so much about the blonde is her capacity of always reading what is on his mind and understanding it perfectly; a talent that Riley had never possessed. He kisses her cheek, tells her the painting is beautiful and apologizes for making her feel bad; then climbs out the window.

Alone again, Maya hangs her painting in the wall and lies in her bed, without taking her eyes off the drawing. With only the company of silence along her, she makes a promise to herself: even if things with Lucas don't work out, she's not going to lose hope. After all, she just got it. Even if Rucas becomes a reality, the blonde won't stop believing; believing that something good is going to happen to her sometime. One of these days has to be hers; she's sure of that. There is no way Maya Hart is going to let her happiness depend on some guy, even if that guy is someone as amazing as Ranger Rick.

With that thought, she goes to sleep calmly. One of these days is going to be her day. And all of her sorrow and pain will go away.

What did you think? You know what to do: fave, review, follows, blah blah. Also, I kinda liked writing songfics. I'm thinking of making this a lot of one shot songfic, so if you want to request a certain moment or song, I'd be happy to do it. Thanks and bye!
