He held a strong grip on Maya. She was getting bruises around her biceps and was starting to lose feel in her arms.

"Stay in here, don't worry about your mother. She'll be alright." He shoved her in the closet and locked her in there.

Maya wasn't going to panic. She was used to it. It's terrible that she was used to this horrendous torcher. She shouldn't be, but she is.

Cry's of pain.

Whimpers.

Screams of agony.

suffering,

Anguish,

All was just,

Agony.

Katy's voice was shrieking with pain. Maya couldn't take it anymore. Her mom was being abused and she was stuck in this damned dark room. this dark closet. The pained noises finally ended. Maya started to worry, what happened to Katy?, She thought. The closet door was almost ripped open.

"You're next."

Her heart beated faster. Is this the end?. She hated that she had to surrender like this. She never accepted defeat. But what could she do now!?. What if he killed her mother?. Maya couldn't even tell who the man was because he'd always be sure to cover his face.

Who is this guy?

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Well look who's finally up" May greeted Maya with a kiss on her forehead before going back to helping the next customer.

"Morning, Aunt May" Maya yawned.

Who the hell wakes up this early on a Saturday?. Oh, Right. Aunt May does.

"I need you to help me today, it's Saturday and you know how busy this place gets on Saturdays. Your breakfast is over there by the back table. When you finish, put the plate in the sink and get that apron on."

Maya stretched out some of the kinks in her body before walking to the back table to eat her breakfast.

"Can I at least get ready first. I look like I just woke up."

Which she did just wake up. Her hair was a little messy but that can be fixed.

"Yes yes, now go hurry up."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"I'm telling you, there's this food place in town that's probably even better than Topanga's" Farkle talked on and on to Riley and Lucas about this nice bakery.

"Ok, Farkle, that's a little offensive. My mom works hard for her bakery. Besides I thought you guys all loved Topanga's" Riley defended

"Ehhhh. I mean the food is great but I think it'd be nice to go somewhere else for a change." Lucas responded. Riley pouted.

"But don't worry, we'll always go to Topanga's every now and then." He reassured, She smiled goofily as she was happy again.

"So what is this place called, Farkle" Riley questioned.

"I think it's called... May's Homestyle Bakery." Unsurely Farkle said looking through the little magazine advertisement.

"Which happens to be right...here" Lucas chimed in, stopping Infront of the bakery, pointing to the sign.

"Ohhh looks pretty, let's go inside" Riley pushed open the door and headed inside. Wind chimes sung when the door opened bringing them a heaven like entrance.

"Mmmm it's warm, and it smells nice, like... like honey." Riley closed her eyes, breathing in the smell of the bakery.

"It feels so homey. I can definitely come here to relax for a while." Lucas said.

"Good morning" A middle aged tall brunette greeted the three.

"Welcome to May's Homestyle Bakery, your table will be over there. At table number 9. Someone should be there to take your order." she smiled genuinely.

They thanked her and walked over to table 9. The place was pretty organized almost as if it were some fancy restaurant. There was some booths by the window. some tables filled in the middle. The bakery was

painted a beautiful cream and orange color and the booths cushions colored with orange and red plaid. 95.9 PLJ played in the back. It was really a beautiful setting.

"Wow this food looks really good." Farkle licked his lips as he looked through the menu.

"I'm sure that it's nothing compared to Topanga's." Riley stated confidently.

"I don't know Riley, we haven't even ate yet and this place is already beating Topanga's." Farkle nodded frantically at Lucas' words.

"I'm already sold." he said.

"Maya, honey, go take table 9 over there." May said while cooking the eggs. Maya walked over, not even noticing the three.

"Good morning, I'm Maya and I'll be your waitress for today. How may I help y-." Her breath hitched when she looked up from her notepad.

How had she not even see them when she came over. They all looked at her with shocked faces.

"Maya?!" Riley shouted incredulously. Others in the restaurants looking around wondering what the big commotion was.

"Shhhh. You're loud, Riles."

She couldn't help it, she was so confused.

"Wha? You work here?." Maya nodded her head.

"How?, When?... What!?"

"Uhm yeah I work here. That's all you need to know. Now what would you like to eat." she said bringing back up her notepad.

"Oh I would like to try two of the egg, cheese and sausage biscuit. With orange juice" Lucas said.

He was honestly too hungry to make a big deal of Maya working here.

"Oh oh can I have the egg salad, with some bread rolls on the side and some orange juice as well" Farkle said rubbing his hands together.

"Yeah and I'll have the- AYE!, No changing the subject Maya, since when have you started working here?" Maya sighed.

"Those questions are questions you can ask when I'm NOT working, Riley." She deadpanned.

Riley pouted. "Fine, I want the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich." Maya nodded, writing down all their orders before heading off to May to help in the kitchen.

"Maya?, Working here?. Can you believe that?!" Riley said very well surprised.

Farkle thought for a minute

"Well she has been very distant. Maybe this is why"

"I don't know, why would Maya be hiding something as small as this from us for two months?" Lucas said reasonably.

"So you're saying.. there's something else we don't know about her?" Riley questioned. Lucas nodded.

"That's what I'm thinking. Having a job shouldn't be a reason to make her quiet"

"Lucas has a point, this Doesn't add up" Farkle said.

Riley sighed in frustration. "Ugh, I'm so confused!"

"Here ya go, 2 orange juices, 2 egg, cheese and sausage biscuits and a egg salad with rolls on the side." Maya returned with their food.

"Wow, that was fast" Farkle commented.

"Yeah well Aunt May does spend a lot of time cooking so she always has extras." Maya replied. They nodded understandingly.

"Wait. Did you say... Aunt May?" Lucas questioned.

Oh Fuck, Maya thought.

"Like as in May's Homestyle Bakery?" Maya nodded.

"Yup, May's my aunt."

"Wow that's cool, so is Katy working here too?" Farkle said with a stuffed mouth. Maya bit her lower lip nervously.

"Uhm... No, not exactly. I think she's still working at Topanga's."

"Oh, ok" Farkle replied absentmindedly and went back to eating his food.

"This is really good!" Farkle said with yet again a full mouth.

"Farkle, please. Close your mouth when you're eating. Have you know manners!" Riley watched Farkle with a cringed look. Maya chuckled.

"This really is good though, Maya can you cook as well?" Lucas asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"Yeah, May taught me to cook when I mov- when I come to visit her." Maya quicky covered her slip up. thankfully Riley and Farkle were busy with their food but she's sure Lucas caught it, he looked at her questioningly but went back to his biscuit.

"So are you going to introduce us to your Aunt May, Maya?." asked Riley. It was kind of more of a beg than a question.

"Soon Riley, you will soon" Maya assured her.

"I'm never going back to Topanga's ever again" Farkle said laying back into the seat with his hands on his belly. "This is good stuff"

Maya chuckled softly. "I'm glad you like it, Farkle."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

I'm going to go eat now, I'm hungry. But man this chapter feels really cheesy
