Based off of Girl Meets Goodbye
Maya's back was to Riley; tears silently running down her cheeks. It was so much to handle. Riley slowly came up behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist. She then pressed her lips to her cheek and tried to kiss the tears away. "Please. Don't cry," she whispered in Maya's ear, "Please." Maya leaned back into her embrace and toyed her friend's hands. Riley grasped one of Maya's hands firmly. Maya squeezed back tightly. "Please," Riley whispered again, before kissing the side of her head. Maya took in a sharp and shaky breath, but couldn't stop crying. Riley finally just held her closer and buried her face into Maya's shoulder. She got to hold back her own tears, but just couldn't. She just cried into her shoulder, Maya's back still to her. Both were so choked up they couldn't speak; couldn't comfort each other. So they just stood there, their hearts hurting. After a while, Maya suddenly turning around, letting go of her hand, and hugged her tightly. Riley, though caught off guard, hugged her back just as tight, Maya's tears making her shoulder wet. She felt like she needs to comfort her, but couldn't really do anything when she was so sad herself. Maya let go, feeling to weak and sad to continue. Riley touched their foreheads together gently, trying to look into her best friend's eyes. Maya didn't want eye contact; didn't want her to see the weakness in her eyes. So instead, Riley just pecked her nose and closed her eyes. Maya closed her eyes as well. Riley, eyes still closed, reached up and carefully wiped away some of Maya's tears. She left her hand there as Maya leaned into it. "No matter what, I still love you," Riley whispered as she slowly stroked her cheek. Maya finally looked at her, trying to swallow her tears with no prevail. "I'll always love you," Riley whispered. Maya believed it, she really did, but her couldn't bring herself to speak. Maya stepped away from her, crossing her arms and looking at the floor. Riley bit her lip, but didn't move or say anything else. She knew Maya was hurting. Suddenly, Maya looked up and said, "I can't...I can't lose you. Don't leave me!" The way she said it pained Riley, the desperateness clearly heard. "I...I can't promise anything...I'm sorry," she replied gently. Maya said nothing in return. Instead, she dropped to her knees in pure agony. Riley rushed to her side and sat down next to her. "Maya?" she asked asked, hoping she was ok. Maya leaned against her and wrapped her arms around her waist. Riley hugged her even closer to her side. "I'm not leaving this second, if not never. You're ok," Riley whispered comfortingly in her ear. Maya whimpered quietly, but kissed Riley's cheek lightly. "I love...You riles," she said quietly, "I want this friendship...To be forever." "It will be," Riley promised, with a nuzzle. Maya liked into her eyes and whispered, "Goodbye..." Riley started crying. "No," she yelled as she hugged her closer.
