Hey, everyone! Thanks for all the great reviews and nice suggestions. I don't have an exact time that I'll be updating the story, but I will be writing practically all day, except during the new episode of GMW. :-) I'm so excited! Sorry guys, but I've got a date with Disney tonight! That probably sounded really weird. Oh, well. I'll stop talking. READ!

Katy's POV

My baby girl wouldn't look away from her lap. She looked so scared. It broke my heart. I sat in the other visitor chair, on Maya's left. The Farkle was still holding her hand.

"Mom?" Maya said suddenly. "I'm right here, Maya." I said, moving a stray lock of hair behind her ear. She looked at me with such sad and scared eyes, then she went back to staring at her lap.

"Can you open the window? It's getting kinda small in here." Maya said so softly I almost didn't hear her. I knew what she was talking about though. "Of course, baby girl. Of course." I opened the window that was behind me.

The fact that Maya was awake meant that she would eventually be physically fine, but she was different. My baby girl was hurt, and scared. I felt like the worst mother in the history of the universe.


Lucas's POV

"Riley. Riley." I coaxed my friend awake. "Huh? Oh, Lucas. Yeah?" Riley said drowsily. "Maya's awake." That was all I had to say. She was up faster than you could say, 'slow down'. Which I tried, but she was already on her crutches and out the door. The only reason she was still in the hospital was because the doctors wanted to keep an eye on some of her burns. I ran after her, smiling to myself.


When we got to Maya's room, Farkle and Ms. Hart were in there. It looked perfectly normal, except for the fact that Maya was starring at her lap, and Farkle was holding her hand. I mean, we all know that Farkle loves Maya, he announced that to the whole class. Yet, I kinda expected Maya to punch him, or at least pull away.

"Maya?" Riley said, walking towards her friend. Maya looked up from her lap, and she smiled. I'm not sure if Riley could tell, but her eyes told me that she wasn't okay.

"Hey, Riles. How ya doin'?" Maya said. "How am I? How are you?" Riley said, looking Maya in the eyes.

"Oh, and why is Farkle holding your hand? More importantly, why aren't you ripping his head off." I asked, not able to take another moment of not asking. It was just plain weird.

"Uhh…" Maya looked about three shades redder. "Oh. My. God. Your dating aren't you?" Riley asked. That explains why Maya has been nicer to him lately. Maya was already blushing, but when Farkle looked at her, you could see a shy smile and she went even redder. That was the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my life.

"Guess the cats out of the bag, Maya." Farkle said. "Wait, what are you playing at?" Maya said, and all of the sudden Farkle kissed her on the cheek. It was quick, but sweet. Everyone in the room said, "aww…." and Maya hid her face in the crook of Farkle's neck. She tried to hide it, but her smile was so big, it could be seen from Seattle.


Riley's POV

Maya and Farkle. Dating. Okay. Maya was obviously upset about something, but I knew she wouldn't tell me. From the look in her eyes, it was serious, and I needed back up. Maybe her boyfriend and a certain photographer can help.

Sorry that it's so short. Suggestions welcome.
