Hi!
So..this is it. Last chapter.
But first I wanted to say thank you to everyone that has read, reviewed, faved or followed the story. When I started this story I thought that it would be a one-shot story but I enjoyed writing it so so so much that I made it longer and it turned out in 7 chapters.
It's been amazing sharing my story with you. I am so happy that there are people who likes what I've written.
I hope that I'd have more ideas so I can write more fics. I have some Stydia one-shots written but I don't know if I'll upload them.
Anyway, thanks again and here's the last chapter. I hope you like it.
Lucas was lying on the bed facing the window which was on the opposite side of the door. He was alone, he had told her mother to leave him alone; he needed to think but she had been coming every ten minutes to check on him and even though it drove him crazy he appreciated it.
Once again, someone knocked on the door.
-Mama, I've told you I want to be alone. I'm sorry I know you're worry but please leave me alone.-He said without turning.
He heard how that someone opened the door anyway and closed it. He sighed at talked while turning to look at the door.
-I said, leave me alo…-He stopped when he saw that the person who had entered wasn't his mother.
-Hi…
-H-h-hi, hi-he said sitting on the bed-Hi. I'm really glad to see you, Maya. Sorry about that I just…
-What did you do that for?-she interrupted him.
-Wh-what?-He had never been that nervous.
-The bull. What did you do that for? Why on earth would you do such as stupid thing?-she said gesturing with her hands showing that she was pretty mad.
He closed his eyes and sighed putting his face on his hands just like Maya had done moments before while talking to Riley.
-I did it for you-he said still with his face on his hands. He looked at Maya and said it again-I did for you, Maya. I know it was stupid okay? But…I wanted you…to like me. You had spent the whole day with Cletis and I just…I just wanted you to notice me.
-You, what? Okay, let me get this straight. You're saying that I spent the day with Cletis, you spent the day with Riley! You spent the whole day with her while I was stuck in a place I didn't know with a guy I didn't know because you were with my best friend! And the worst part is that I didn't have the right to be angry because you were with Riley and I was alone and that's how things were supposed to be.
-I was jealous, okay!? I spent the day with Riley because I didn't want to hurt her but the only person I wanted to be with was you and I got jealous when I saw that you were spending the day with Cletis, that you were going to the river and riding a horse and I couldn't do any of that with you because I was Lucas the Good, Lucas the boring. I know I'm a Huckleberry okay? But I didn't want to be that, I wanted to be Mad-Dog, I wanted to be someone you would like, someone you would find interesting. I wanted to be that guy for you Maya, that's how much I like you and yes, I know now that it was stupid and I'm sorry I just wanted to impress you.
-Oh my god-Maya sighed in disbelief, almost laughing-you're a jerk.
-I know, I'm sorry
-No! You, are a jerk! Why would you think that I wanted that, Lucas? I didn't like you because I knew you had a black past, I didn't like you because I thought I could change you. I liked you because you were you. I, Lucas-she said putting her hand on her chest- I bring out the bad in people but you-she pointed at him just to let her arm fall down later- you bring out the good, you're the one who can contain me, you make me a better person and that's what I like about you. I like that you're everyone's moral compass, I like that you care about your friends, I like that you didn't want to break Riley's heart, I like that you love Farkle even though you're so different and that you are willing to get expelled just to defend your friend because that, Lucas, that's who you are and I like you that way. God, I just can't believe that you were that stupid to think that I would like you more for what? Risking your life? Lucas I was going insane at the house waiting for news about you okay? I was so scared, I've lost so much, I've driven so many people away I thought I was going to do that to you too. I didn't come sooner not because I was angry at you, I was angry at me okay? For fighting with you, for liking you when I wasn't supposed to, for everything, I couldn't bear it. If something had happened to you I…I…-she sighed one more time-God…-and then it all happened so fast. One moment she was standing by the bed yelling at the boy she had fallen for and then she was kissing him. She kissed him, she walked over him, almost running, grabbed his face and kissed him.
He was shocked at first but he reacted and put his hand on her face caressing it with his thumb. The kiss didn't last long, just about 4 seconds. They pulled away but they stayed a few inches from each other, Lucas' hand still on her cheek and Maya's falling from the back of his head to his shoulder.
-Now…what did you that for?-he whispered with a shy smile.
-I thought I was gonna lose you-she said whispering too and the tears that she had been holding since the day before started to come out of her eyes quietly.-I like you Lucas. I like you. And I don't know if you really like me back, or you're trying to forget Riley, or to make her jealous or you're expecting me to be like her or if you think that being with me you'll become a cool bad boy but I don't want any of that. I'm Maya and you're Lucas and that's how I want it to be. If you don't want the same please just tell me now.
-Maya…-he said pressing his forehead again hers and caressing her face.-You have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear you say that. I don't want Riley, I don't want to make her jealous, I don't want you to change and I don't want to change either. I didn't tell you how I felt because I didn't want to hurt Riley and I knew you wouldn't either because you don't bring out the bad in people Maya, just the opposite. You said I'm the one who contains you well, you're the one who contains me. I know I've done stupid things but…if you still want me…I'd love to be with you.-he pulled away and looked at her eyes wiping away the tears that were still falling down her cheeks- I like you a lot Maya. Can you forgive me?
She sighed, she took a deep breath to calm her down and she smiled at him.
-You really are a Huckleberry, aren't you?
He smiled at her and shrugged.
-But you are my Huckleberry.
-Yes I am ma'am-he said tipping his imaginary hat
She laughed at that, looked at him and grabbed his shirt like she had done so many times before but this time was different, this time she didn't want to yell at him or make fun at him, this time she grabbed his shirt to kiss him. Kiss him again like she had few minutes before except now the kiss didn't last just 4 seconds. This kiss had more love than any of them had ever known they had inside them. When they parted away they smiled at each other. Lucas moved to the left to make space for Maya who sat down beside him her head on his chest, his arm around her shoulders. And they stayed like that, hugging, in silent, he kissing her head from time to time, both knowing that now that they were together nothing could go wrong because they had each other.
THE END
Thanks for reading.
See you in the next fic.
