Cowboy Take Me Away

A/N: Please tell me what you think! Criticism is welcome, but no flames. Suggestions are always welcome, no matter what they might be. Thank you. :)

Third Person

When Maya came out of the bathroom, twenty minutes later and semi-composed, she saw Lucas waltzing down the hallway.

"How'd you get in here?"

"Well, the nurses couldn't deny Riley's brother the right to see her," Lucas drawled, managing a small smile. Maya snorted.

"Come on, Maya, let's go get something to eat. You need it," Lucas offered. Maya was too tired to fight, so she nodded mutely.

"Okay. Just no Mexican food," Maya teased, scrunching up her nose.

"But that's takes out everything good!" Lucas complained.

"Sorry," Maya said sarcastically.

"If you insist," Lucas sighed, his mind drifting back to Riley. He couldn't ignore the sense of guilt in his stomach. He thought back to the first time he noticed something was off about Riley.

OoOoOoO

Flashback:

"I'm not good enough for you, Lucas."

"Riley Matthews, how can I make you see that you are good enough?" He wondered.

She didn't know and neither did Lucas. But laying in his arms on the grass in the middle of nowhere, she was content to figure it all out later.

End flashback

Lucas entered the hospital after dropping off Maya at the gift shop with instructions to buy something that Riley would like, with his money, from the both of them. She returned about half an hour later with a medium-sized, stuffed pink pig. He raised his eyebrows questioningly at her.

"It's Riley we're talking about," Maya's voice grew quiet. "She use to love stuffed animals."

Lucas understood and instantly felt bad.

He wanted the old Riley back too.
