Cory POV
I couldn't believe it… my daughter was a drug addict… how could I not notice… how could I not see it… I saw Maya coming at me… with tears on her eyes she gave me a phone and a box of crayons.
-What is this?
-You gave it to me remember? You said I was supposed to keep Riley out of trouble… And I failed… I'm sorry… I failed her, and I failed you…
-Maya that's not true, this was way beyond all of us, Riley needs us more than ever. Especially you.
I felt her hug me and cry like I never saw her cry before.
Maya POV.
It's been a week since Riley came back home, the first talk we had was heartbreaking…
-Well… I guess I managed to get my life in the gutter right?
-Don't say that little plant y
-Maybe you haven't noticed but I'm a drug addict that got expelled from high school and has no future anymore… I won't have kids… I… should have stayed dead Maya…
I stood up with my eyes opened wide
-RILEY!
-What? It's the truth Maya…
-No, your Dad said you might get back, and you are no longer taking those things, the doctor said you were clean remember?
I pulled her to our bay window
-I need you to tell me something…
She nodded
-Where did you got that trash?
I saw her hands tremble as she got up
-I found them… someplace…
Riley POV
I couldn't tell her… not after the things Tim said the last time I saw him...
A week before Riley ended in the hospital…
I wimped as Tim pushed me against the wall.
-I forgot to tell you… don't even think about saying something about me to anyone… or your friend Maya will take a trip to a place where she will be "entertaining" men all day like you "entertain" me for your candy… and believe me… a girl like her… blonde… beautiful blue eyes… she would stay busy all day long… and before she gets to work… my friends will be more than happy to train her…
-No… please don't hurt Maya…
-That is up to you… now you want your fix… you know what I like…
Present…
Maya POV
-Little plant I want to help you…
-Maya please leave me alone…
-What?
-I want to be alone please…
Later at Topanga's
-Did she told you who was giving her the drugs? - Lucas asked
-No… she's incredibly scared.. Whomever was giving her trash threatened her, that's for sure. - replied Maya
Farkle got up.
-At school.
-What? - Lucas and Maya said in unison.
-Think, Riley wouldn't knew where to get a donut out of school if she wanted… someone at school is responsible…
-Farkle is right… Riley never goes anyplace alone, she's always with us - said Lucas
-She's only on her own when we have overlapped classes… OK, this is what we are going to do… I'll be following her… I'll find out.
-Maya please be careful - Farkle said
Maya POV
It was embarrassing but I had to tell Mrs Much I had a "monthly problem" and wanted to be excused, but it was the only way to get out of class and follow Riley… Farkle got me a copy of her schedule so I knew where she was going… I followed her to literature and physics… now she's going to cheerleading practice… we only have two more chances, today is wednesday and her last day in school is on friday…
Riley POV
It's my last day here… I'm just going to give back my training uniform and go home…
-Hey there - said Nikki
-hi….
-Word around here is you got expelled.
I nodded… she wants to humiliate me she can get it over with.
-I told you to be careful with those things
Then it hit me… she gave them to me… she started this…
-you… YOU GAVE THEM TO ME! YOU NEVER SAID YOU WERE GIVING ME DRUGS!
-You asked me for them. By the way, Tim says he misses you and how you… "have fun" with him..
Have fun? I never had fun… I couldn't take it anymore… all I remember is jumping on her until the other girls and Maya pulled me off… I don't know how it happened but trying to release myself I managed to punch Maya… I saw her glaring at me with a line of blood on her lips… suddenly I felt strong arms holding me… it was Lucas.
-Riley that's enough. STOP IT!
-Yeah, get that junkie under control already - Francesca said helping Nikky up.
I saw Maya get up and clean the blood from her lips, she walked to Francesca and before anyone could do anything she punched her so hard she ended on top of Nikky.
-Call her like that again and you will be missing some teeth…
-Maya that's enough - Lucas said still holding me.
Later that afternoon I was in my room with Maya.
-Riley… why did she gave you those things?
-Can.. Can we just forget about this? - I pleaded
-Forget? FORGET? Riley… did Nikki and Francesca gave you the meth?
I turned around with my hands trembling
-NO! Just please stop asking me about t
My phone rang… when I saw the screen I felt the world coming down… it was him…
-h.. hello?
-Hey there pretty thing… I have missed our "encounters" don't you want more "candy"?
-no… thank you very much…
-Oh I know you need them… don't you want to feel better?
-no… I… I'm fine…
-Why don't you come see me and I give you something that will make you feel better?
-no… I…
-ok… I guess… I will have to go meet Maya… you have any idea of the things my friends and I want to do to that little cupcake?
I felt the tears running down my cheeks
-please no…
-then come see me..
I just hanged and sat in my bed, I forgot Maya was there until she stood in front of me
-who was it?
-nobody…Maya can you get me some tea?
Maya POV
I went to the kitchen… I was decided to find out who called her… but as I walked back I just found an empty room.
-RILEY? RILEY WHERE ARE YOU?
Riley POV
I wasn't going on to let him ruin Maya's life… the second she went out of my room I went out our bay window… maybe if I was lucky Tim would kill me and everything would be over…
