Author's Note: Welcome back readers for Chapter 5 of ski lodge. Sorry for not updating in over a month. I have just been so busy with working and life I just didn't have the motivation to start back since Girl Meets World ended but don't worry guys I am back for sure until season 3 starts. Guys we have 38 days until season 3 of Girl Meets World starts and we will probably start getting some episode descriptions and promo pictures and stuff for season 3 about maybe the second or third week in May. Also I have a sequel coming soon after I complete this story as well as two more separate stories I have thought of as well. Since me working kind of delayed my story, if I update once a week now then this story should be completed on the exact day that season 3 airs which is June 3rd. So stay tuned after this story is finished for my sequel. So enjoy reading chapter 5 and please leave a review of what you guys think. Also keep in mind that Maya is 14 and a freshman in high school and Josh is 17 and a freshman in college. Happy reading.

Chapter 5- When It All Falls Apart

Flashback

The sound of the heartbeat monitor was the first thing she heard. Her vision began to come back slowly to reveal white walls as she groaned.

"Riley." She heard Maya's voice.

"Peaches, what happened?" Asked Riley since her brain was still fuzzy.

"You mean you don't know?" Asked Maya.

Riley starts breathing hard and starts to close her eyes.

"She's going into shock, get the paddles ready." A nurse yelled with authority.

Maya buried her face in Topanga's side as tears began to flow from her eyes.

"I can't lose my best friend, I just can't." Maya says as she holds Riley's cold hand.

"Clear." Someone yelled followed by the sound of electricity running through her body as her continues to hold Riley's hand.

"No response."

"Try again." The head nurse said.

This time was different though. Riley's heartrate stabilized and she started breathing again.

"Thank God." Maya sighs as she buries her head in Riley's chest while crying tears of joy.

Flashback End

Riley's eyes widened at Maya's crying.

Riley weakly speaks, "Peaches, what happened?"

Maya sniffles and replies. "You went into skiing by yourself and skied off a cliff and went unconscious right after I found you. Then not long after we got here you went into shock and your heart quit beating for a couple minutes."

"Wow." Riley replies.

Riley tries to move her leg.

"Ouch, I can't feel my leg." Said Riley.

"The doctor said you broke your leg after falling off the cliff, but no worries he said you just have to wear a cast for the next six weeks." Said Maya.

Cory and Topanga enter.

"Hey sweetie, how are you feeling?" Asked Topanga.

"Just a little sore from the fall and my legs hurt." Replied Riley.

"The doctor is getting ready to come in and fix you right up."

The doctor enters with the material to put Riley's leg in a cast.

"Hello there Ms. Matthews, my name is Doctor Smith and I will be taking care of you today, now let's look at that leg." Says Doctor Smith.

Doctor Smith gently takes Riley's leg and looks at it.

"Will it hurt Doctor Smith?" Asked Riley.

"Just a little sweetie, I just have to pop your leg back into place in order to set the cast." Replies Doctor Smith.

Doctor Smith then puts on gloves and grabs Riley's leg.

"Are you ready?" Asked Doctor Smith.

Riley looked scared as she grabs Maya's and Topanga's hands.

"Yes sir." Replied Riley.

Doctor Smith pops her leg back into place as Riley screams in pain.

"Ouch." Riley says with tears running down her face.

"It's all over sweetie, now time for the easy part." Says Doctor Smith.

He starts applying the cast on Riley's leg.

"All finished." Says Doctor Smith.

"How long will I have to be like this doctor?" Asked Riley.

"For six weeks, but until then you need to walk with these crutches to help you walk as it heals." Replies Doctor Smith.

Riley frowns and says. "Great, what a way to spend Christmas and the rest of Winter break."

Maya comforts Riley.

"Don't worry Riles, we can still have some fun. I will be right here with you for the next six weeks and forever." Said Maya.

"Awe peaches, Thanks." Replies Riley.

Riley slowly tried to sit up and grabs her crutches.

"Can we go back to the lodge now?" Asked Riley.

Cory comes in with a wheelchair and discharge papers.

"Yea honey, are you ready." Asked Cory.

"Yes." Replied Riley as she slowly sits down in the wheelchair.

They all go out of the hospital to the car to head back to the lodge as Maya holds Riley's hand as they roll Riley out to the car.

Back at the lodge everyone helps to get Riley settled in.

"Mom, can me and Maya go exploring again?" Asked Riley.

"Sure honey, but just make sure to use your crutches and watch that leg." Replied Topanga.

"I will mom." Replied Riley as Maya helps her walk down to their secret room in the lobby.

Meanwhile, Cory goes downstairs to the front desk and runs into Lauren

Lauren looks up.

"Oh, hey Cory." Said Lauren.

"Yikes." Replied Cory.

Lauren comes from behind the counter and walks towards Cory.

"We need to talk." Said Lauren.

"No, No we don't." Replied Cory.

Cory starts backing away into a wall as Lauren comes closer and grabs him by his shirt collar and pulls him towards her and kisses him on the lips. Cory stands there in shock as Lauren pulls away.

"Catch you later handsome." Said Lauren as she walks away.

Cory stands there still in shock and then leaves the lobby to go upstairs and try to think about what just happened, but what he doesn't know is that his daughter and her friend had seen the whole thing from their hiding place.

Riley and Maya both hold their mouths opened in shock until Riley spoke.

"What just happened?" Asked Riley as she starts to tear up.

"Well it looks like that Lauren woman just kisses your dad." Replied Maya.

"Quick Maya help me up, we have to go tell my mom right now." Said Riley.

Maya grabs Riley's crutches and helps her get out of the secret room to go find Topanga.

Topanga is in her room when Maya and Riley tumble into the room.

"Mom, mom we need your help." Said Riley as she slowly walks over to Topanga on her crutches.

"Girls calm down and tell me what's wrong." Replied Topanga.

"It's about Mr. Matthews." Replied Maya.

"Oh no, this doesn't sound good." Replied Topanga nervously.

"It isn't mom, me and Maya was in our secret room in the lobby exploring when we heard dad come in and starting talking to that Lauren lady. Then she started moving closer to him and she kissed him. Please don't be mad at daddy, it wasn't his fault. She had him trapped against the wall." Said Riley.

Topanga gets angry and tears up.

"Oh no, not again. Thanks for coming to tell me girls but I will handle this." Replies Topanga.

Topanga walks outside the lodge taking her cell phone as she leaves the girls upstairs.

Meanwhile back in New York City the phone rings at Topanga's bakery and Katy goes to answer it.

"Topanga's bakery, how can I help you?" Asked Katy.

Topanga cries into the phone.

"Katy its Topanga, I need to talk to you. Something is wrong." Said Topanga.

Katy goes to sit down.

"Topanga calm down and tell me what's wrong. Is everything ok with Maya?" Asked Katy.

"No it's not Maya, it's Cory. The girls saw him kissing another woman in the lobby of the lodge." Replied Topanga.

"Oh no, don't tell me it was that Lauren lady you told me about." Replied Katy.

Topanga cries.

"Yes it was her. I don't know if I should trust him anymore. It think it is just best if we go our separate ways." Said Topanga.

Topanga continues to cry over the phone to Katy.
