"Trader Joe's please." Maya spoke into the small opening of the window of the taxi

She peered out the window, her mind flowing with thoughts that were going to combust into smithereens. Too much was on her mind. Too much, and too little time to calm down.

As the lit up red sign from the city's lights reflecting on it. Inside the store, joyful shoppers placing food into their carts. This is what Maya loved about her home, she could always come here when she needed peace and serenity. She often wandered the aisles, mostly the ice cream and chocolate section.

As she walked in, she was greeted by cheerful cashiers, who knew her name and vise versa.

She grabbed the miniature coffee cup from the free samples and sipped on it while looking at the pretzels.

Maya was walking and reading the weekly newsletter, knowing that she had to get back to her dorm before Riley would worry. Her phone was blowing up, nothing but unread texts and missed calls from everyone.

"Maya." A low but warm voice came from behind her, making her jump.

She turned on her heel and saw olive eyes and hazel hair.

Maya dug her head in his shoulder as she clutched onto him, tired of everything.

"You're an asshole, Hop Along." she grumbled, still with him holding her.

"I didn't mean to do what I did Maya." he tugged on her arm as she stepped back. Both of them now walking down the aisle.

"How do you not mean to start a fight?" Maya said, turning to face him once again.

"Hey. Don't get mad at me here. I just pushed him, while he gave me a bloody nose. So if you're gonna scream, do it to Josh."

"You're lucky I'm not in the mood to be pissed at you right now. I just want to talk and eat caramel." Maya sighed.

"Chewy or traditional?" Lucas laughed.

As they walked out of the store, the night was ending, moring almost arriving.

"How did you know I would be here?" Maya asked, chewing on a block of caramel.

"Senior year, we all got our acceptance letters and you didn't get yours yet, and you were waiting like crazy by your mailbox, all of us sitting next to you, trying to break the anxiousness. But you said you needed to blow off some steam and left. Riley told us to let you do your own thing. But I followed after you and found that you were running here. So I waited outside the store and-"

"We walked back." Maya finished his sentence, grinning.

"Yeah, speaking of walking back, we should get you back to your dorm." he said, pointing to the NYU building.

"Why do you come here anyways? I meant to ask anyways." Lucas said

"My grandma used to take me here as a kid whenever I needed to calm down, she would point to all the people and say, 'Me and your grandfather would grocery shop here and we would have so much fun. Maya, you can find happiness in the smallest things, so this is your safe space.' So whenever I need to calm down or just have some enlightenment, I come here. And you know what? That day, the day when I was waiting for the letter, I came to Trader Joe's and when I got back, everyone was screaming waving the letter around, and that was the day I got accepted into NYU. So maybe I go for luck or peace, both are there. That's why, Bucky."

And in that moment, Lucas wanted to tell her. He wanted to look in her eyes and tell her how he felt, to make her realize that he would be there for her, to take care of her, that he would do anything for her. But he didn't. He didn't say anything. He couldn't.

This isn't the time.

Well, there it was. What do you guys think? For all my Lucaya people reading, you're probabaly freaking out, and for all my joshaya fans you too, but keep reading to see. _I hope all of you liked this, overall. Thanks for all the sweet reviews by the way, y'all are so adorable and sweet.
