Previously...
Zay rolled his eyes and then said, "To the bull riding show. Last year as Lucas broke the record Maya didn´t watch, because she was scared. I promised her to go with her there this year again."
Maya looked at Josh, biting her lip and not trying to think of handsome he was while slowly nodding. "Exactly." She said. "And it´s time for us to go, if we want to catch some lunch before that. Let´s go." Zay nodded at her and then looked one last time at Josh with a warning look, before´they started walking off, leaving a shocked Josh behind. What they didn´t know was that they maybe shouldn´t have told Josh where they were going.
At the Rucas date
´´I can´t believe that you´re taking me horse riding! I´ve never done anything like this!" Riley exclaimed in disbelief and at the same time extremely happy. As Lucas told her this morning that he had a special date planned for them she did not expect him to take her horse riding. She thought about maybe a nice breakfast or a walk down somewhere or a picnic, but this? Not that she was complaining though. She couldn´t be happier about it in fact. She always wanted to do it and she once mentioned it to Lucas, but she did not expect him to remember.
Lucas chuckled, taking Riley´s hand as they went inside the stalls. He could see her excitement and it was making him happy, too. ´´I told you that this date would be special for my amazing girlfriend. I know that you always wanted to do this and I know the guy who owns this place and he said he does it for free for both of us for 3 hours horse riding. We just have to find him that he can show us which horses are ours." He replied.
Riley grinned wide at that and squeezed her boyfriend´s hand. ´´I really can´t believe that you did this for me. I love it, Lucas!" She said to him and kissed his cheek. Lucas smiled and stole a little kiss from her lips which made the brunette giggle and look at him lovingly.
´´So this is your girlfriend, Lucas? You always had a really great taste." A voice told behind them told them. Turning around Riley saw a brunette haired boy with cowboy boots, dark blue jeans and a black and blue plaid shirt, walking up to them. He looked 2 or 3 years older than the couple and had a smirk on his face that reminded Riley a lot of Zay. He wasn´t bad looking, just like the typical Texas boy as you saw it in the movies kind of. If Maya was here she would´ve probably already cracked 10 jokes and gave him some weird nicknames.
Lucas also turned around to his old friend and smiled. ´´Hey, Al. We were looking for you." He said to him and Al chuckled walking up to them. ´´You got our horses ready? I want to take my girlfriend on her first real horse ride."
Al looked Riley up and down what didn´t go unnoticed by Lucas and then smiled. ´´I did for you and your beatiful little cowgirl. Just follow me." He mentioned more to Riley than to Lucas. Riley smiled and followed the boy while Lucas slowly came after, quiet a bit annoyed. He did not like this. This was Riley´s and his date. So he quickly caught up with the two, taking Riley´s hand in his again which gained him a smile from Riley. He smiled back and Al gave them a small frown, but just brought them to the stall where a beautiful black and a white horse were standing besides each other.
Al wanted to say something, but Lucas quickly said, ´´Thanks, Al. We can take it from here." Lucas said rather rude than nicely, but Al got the hint even though he didn´t like it.
So he threw his hands up in defense and then stated, ´´Okay. Don´t forget. Three hours. I have some costumers who pay me who are waiting for these horses. See you later, Cowgirl. Lucas." The boy nodded at the two and Lucas crossed his arms while Riley was completely mesmorized by the horses.
She went op to the white one, craddling his head in awe what made Lucas smile now. ´´She´s beautiful." Riley stated what made Lucas smile even wider, looking at his girlfriend who was completely taken over by the horse she had just seen for the first time. But Lucas was seeing something way more beautiful that he was able to call his.
So he put an arm around Riley who leaned into him and then stated, ´´Not nearly as beautiful as you." Riley turned around at that comment, blushing deeply. Before she could reply to that, Lucas kissed her though and Riley completely melted into his arms. They completely forgot what they wanted to do while just kissing enjoying each others touch. Both bodies were tingling all over even though this was for beyond the first time they were kissing, but they loved it.
Their kiss was suddenly broken though though Riley´s phone ringing what made both of them groan, but Riley´s eyes went wide as she saw Zay´s name on the screen. Zay hated calling. He would never do that unless- She quickly picked up and asked right away, `´Zay, is Maya okay? What happened? Wait, what?" Lucas looked confused and concerned at his girlfriend who´s expression changed. ´´It´s Josh? He wanted to what? Yes, we´ll be there as soon as we can."
As soon as she hung up, Lucas looked at her confused. `´What´s wrong?" Lucas asked and Riley shook her head, swallowing.
´´Josh wanted to prove himself to Maya, but before he could his lungs gave in combined with an asmathic attack and now they are waiting for the ambulance to bring him to the hospital. We have to go!" Riley cried and Lucas eyes went wide as the girl suddenly realised something. ´´Lucas, I know that you had this planned out and Josh is an ass, but he´s still ym uncle and-"
The cowboy quickly shook his head and replied, ´´Riles, don´t apologize. Of course we´re going there to help him. I also don´t want to know what´s going on in Maya right now. Let´s get our things and go."
A few minutes before at the Rodeo
Zay and Maya just walked into the tent for refreshments while Maya was shaking a bit. She had the feeling that if she wanted to get over the whole last texas fing, she actually had to watch someone riding that stupid bull. Someone who wasn´t one of her best friends. Not that she wanted anyone else to get hurt, but still. It was way more safe for her if it was someone she did not care that much about.
´´Are you sure you want to watch this? You are shaking and the guy who´s riding that bull today isn´t even one of us. Heck, I don´t even know who the guy is who´s riding the bull this year." Zay asked the blonde concerned as Maya shot him a look. `´I´m just saying." He quickly added.
´´Yes, I am sure. I mean it´s not Lucas or you or Farkle or Riley who would probably fall down, before even getting on the bull so it´ll be fine." Maya tried to reassure herself, but her hands wouldn´t stop shaking at all. ´´I need to do this for myself and you´re going to stay here with me, cause I might faint." Zay looked at her, but then slowly nodded. They both knew that she rather wanted someone else standing here with her. Someone who was incredibly stubborn to say at least.
´´I will, but who´s that guy who thinks he can ride Tombstone the Bull and nobody knows him?" Zay now asked. Maya shrugged at that. She had no idea and she didn´t care at all. She was here to overcome here own fear, not to care too much about people she didn´t know.
´´You probably don´t know the boy, because he´s not from here. Even though his name sounded oddly familiar to me. I just forgot what it was." Pappy Joe came through the tent, looking at the two teenagers who looked confused at him while he scratched his head. ´´I just heard it from Daniel, I haven´t seen the boy, but his name was something with M I think. I don´t know who´d be crazy enough to ride Tombstone the Bull without even training on easier ones before. That boy must be crazy."
Zay and Maya looked at each other confused, but shrugged it off. ´´The poor boy doesn´t seem to know what he gets himself into." Zay stated. ´´I was shocked that Lucas stayed on that bull for 4 ½ seconds and he learned from the best. Way to make a fool out of himself for this mysterious M. What´s his name? Markus, Matt, Michael?" Zay suggested, but Pappy Joe shook his head at every name.
Suddenly he seemed to remember. ´´Oh, I know again! Matthews!" He exclaimed and now Maya´s eyes went wide as well as Zay´s just in time for non other than Joshua Matthews coming in in the clothes for the bull riding, looking seemingly scared and a bit green in the face. ´´I knew that I knew that name from somewhere. Lucas girlfriend has the same last name and wait- You´re living under my roof!" Pappy Joe remembered, looking shocked at Josh who didn´t answer, just looking at Maya, biting his lip.
Maya looked in disbelief at him and walked up to him. ´´Joshua Gabriel Matthews, what the heck do you think you`re doing here?" She practically screamed at his face what made everyone look at them, but she really couldn´t care less. Josh on the other hand looked even more scared.
He took a ragged breath and stated, ´´Making a point." What earned him a hard slap in the shoulder from Maya. ´´Hey!" He exclaimed even though he knew that she had all rights to do that. He didn´t know either what he was doing here and he actually just wanted to leave. He looked over to Zay for help, but the boy just shrugged. If it was for him, Josh had to fight that batlle alone right now.
´´You get out of that stupid bull riding gear right now and we´re leaving!" Maya shouted. She might not have had to say much about Lucas decisions, but this wasn´t only about her and Josh. It was about all the Matthews family, her second family. She wouldn´t let him do that, no matter which point he wanted to prove to her or anyone. This was absolutely ridiculous.
Josh on the other hand crossed his arms as he suddenly started coughing a bit. Maya looked confused and concerned at him as he simply replied, ´´No." It was the only word to get out of him, since something was getting down in his lungs and he could feel it, but he was so stubborn that he ignored it.
Maya slapped his shoulder another time and then said, ´´That was a command, Josh. You are not going anywhere near that stupid bull. I already had that stupid conversation with Lucas who did it because of his never ending crush on Riley, but I tell you. You´re not going there. I´m not going to be scared to – Josh?"
Before she could finish his sentence there were suddenly a lot of coughs coming from Josh who was holding his chest, trying to calm down but it didn´t die down. He felt how the asthma attack was getting worse as Maya wanted to ask again and he simply said, ´´Can´t breathe."
Before Maya knew what was happening Zay was by their side and quickly took the helmet and the vest of Josh. Before Zay could support him though the older boy fell to the floor, still coughing while Maya noticed how from the thump on the head while the fall, blood was coming from his head which he didn´t even notice, but her eyes went wide as she stood frozen. She only heard Pappy Joe cry, ´´Someone call an ambulance! NOW!" While Josh continued coughing. His lungs were giving in more and more and he felt how he was about to faint.
Maya kneeled down to him and stated, ´´Josh!" Then she realised that she had to be strong, because otherwise it would only get worse for him and she continued, ´´Josh, do not close your eyes. The ambulance will come in a second." She took his hand as she heard Zay calling someone. Probably Riley. ´´Stay here, please." Someone put a wet towel on Josh´s wound at the head. ´´Josh." She whispered.
Josh who tried to pry his eyes open for the blonde in front of him who was begging him, looked at her guilty, only getting three words out. ´´I am sorry." He slowly said and Maya´s eyes filled with tears.
A.N.: Yes, that happened. I am sorry for everyone who hates me now, but I had to do this.
What do you guys think? I always love me some good drama :D
