Here's part 3. In this chapter I added a song, but I changed some words.
I do not own GMW or You Belong with Me-Taylor Swift
(At Topanga's Bakery)
(No One's PoV)
The bakery was packed. Farkle and Zay was sitting in two of the chairs . Riley was sitting up at the counter with Charlie Gardner.
"Hey, has anyone seen Maya?" Lucas asked.
"No. Did you talk to her?" Farkle said.
"I did but that was like two, three hours ago."
I hope she at least comes.
Topanga stepped up to the mic. Everyone clapped.
"Thank you everyone. And welcome to the first annual open-mic night here at Topanga's." She said.
Everyone clapped again.
"Well let's get this night going." Topanga said. She turned and walked off the stage as someone came on and started to play. Just then Maya walked in carrying her guitar.
There she is. Lucas thought.
He turned around to Katy.
I should tell her.
"Ma'am, can I talk to you for a moment."
"Sure Lucas," Katy said putting her towel down. She followed him into the kitchen.
"I know you know about Maya, and her feelings towards Riley." She said when she closed the door.
"I do. And that is kind of what I wanted to talk to you about. Maya is going to sing tonight. She just got here. And I think that Maya is going to tell everyone. I just wanted to let you know" Lucas said.
Katy took a deep breath.
"I told her not to rush, to take her time. I guess she has. It's her feelings and if that's what she wants to do and how she wants to do it, then I will support her no matter the outcome."
Lucas smiled and walked out with Katy right behind him. They walked up to Maya.
"Hey." Lucas said.
"Hey." She said.
"You sure you want to do it here."
"Do what?" Maya ask.
"Tell Riley that you like her."
Oh God, no. She thought.
Maya looked from Lucas to her mom, then back to Lucas
"All I'm going to do is sing a song. I'm not going to tell Riley that I like her. I'm going to tell everyone that I like girls, but I'm not going to tell them what girl. It's not worth losing her."
Katy smiled and gave her daughter a kiss on the head.
"No matter what happens, I love you for you. Always remember that."
"Thanks mom."
The girl on the stage finished.
"Well here I go." Maya said.
"Good luck Maya."
"Break a leg baby girl."
Here we go. Maya thought.
Maya walked up on stage and sat on the stool. Everyone clapped. She saw Cory and Topanga standing in the back. Lucas and her mom were to her left. Farkle and Zay were up front. And Riley was sitting with Charlie Gardner sitting at the counter.
"There's um…" She took a deep breath. "There's a secret, that I have been hiding from everyone, including the people that I care about the most." She glanced over to Riley, who was looking at Charlie. "I think this song will explain. The song is You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift, but I changed some of the words for me." Maya started strumming.
"She's on the phone with her boyfriend
He's upset, he's going off about something that she said
'Cause he doesn't get her humor like I do.
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night.
I'm listening to the kind of music he doesn't like.
And he'll never know her story like I do.
But he wears t-shirts
I wear short skirt
He's team captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when she'll wake up and find
That what she's looking for has been here the whole time.
If she could see
That I'm the one
Who understands her.
Been here all along.
So, why can't she see
She belongs with me,
She belongs with me.
Walk in the streets with her in her worn out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be.
Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself,
"Hey, isn't this easy?"
And she's got a smile
That could light up this whole town.
I haven't seen it in a while
Since he brought her down.
She says she's fine I know her better than that.
Hey, what you doing with a guy like that?
He wear sneakers
I wears high heels
He's team captain,
And I'm on the bleachers.
Dreaming about the day when she wakes up and find
That what she's looking for has been here the whole time.
If she could see
That I'm the one
Who understands her,
Been here all along.
So, why can't she see
She belongs with me.
Standing by and waiting at her backdoor.
All this time how could you not know, baby?
She belong with me,
She belong with me.
(guitar)
Oh, I remember her coming to my house
In the middle of the night.
I'm the one who makes her laugh
When she knows she's 'bout to cry.
I know her favorite songs,
And she tell me about her dreams.
Think I know where she belongs,
Think I know it's with me.
Can't you see
That I'm the one
Who understands you?
Been here all along.
So, why can't you see
You belong with me.
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor.
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me,
You belong with me.
You belong with me.
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me"
Everyone in the bakery stood up and clapped. Maya's face was red. She gave a small smile and walked off the stage. She hugged her mom.
"That was really good, baby girl."
"Thanks mom."
"That was great, Maya."Lucas said. Maya smiled at him. Cory and Topanga made their way over. Topanga hugged Maya.
"You were great, Maya."Cory said.
"You... understood the song…?"Maya asked, afraid that they would be angry.
"Yes, we did. I think everyone got it." Topanga said.
"And you're not mad?"
"Of course not, Maya. We don't care if you like girls. Why would we be mad?" Cory
asked.
Maya hesitated.
"Because of who the song's about."
"Who's the song about?" Topanga said.
Maya hesitated again.
I wish I could tell you.
"Hey Maya, you were really good!" Riley said walking up holding Charlie's hand. Maya smiled, then looked down at her hands. Riley turned to her mom. "We're leaving."
"Ok, sweetie."
"Bye guys." Riley said to everyone after giving her mom and dad a kiss on the cheek.
Riley and Charlie walked out of the bakery. Topanga turned back to Maya.
"Now, what lucky girl is that song about?"
Maya turned back towards the door where Riley just left and watched them go up the stairs.
Her. The song is for her. I am in love with your daughter! Maya screamed in her head.
"It doesn't matter. She's taken." Maya said as she walked back to the counter and sat down. Everyone in there group saw who she was talking about.
"Oh," Cory, Topanga, Farkle and Zay said all at the same time.
(Riley and Charlie's date)
(No One's PoV)
Riley and Charlie got on the Subway and sat down.
"So, did you know Maya was into girls?" Asked Charlie.
"No. I never realized it. If I knew I wouldn't have tried to set her up with Lucas. I thought that was her secret, but I guess not."
I wish she would have told me.
"Hmm. Who do you think that song was for?"
"I'm not sure. But it must be about someone I know. Because Maya said she knew everything about her. And I'm always with her."
"Ya. You're always with her... and Maya knows everything about this girl."
Riley looked at Charlie.
"Charlie, do you know who the song's about?"
"Yeah, it's actually pretty obvious, Riley." Charlie said looking at her. Riley still looked confused. Charlie sighed and shook his head, smiling.
"It's you, Riley. Maya is in love with you."
