YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH I HATE NOT WRITING. I've been in a withdraw for weeks because I'm on exams and I freaking hate Law School because of that but otherwise I love my new friends and this new enviroment, is so much better than to deal with the girls from my school. Anyway I'm so sorry and I just needed to tell you that.
Now regarding some reviews:
Hello lovely 'I love chocolate' and off course I would answer your questions, I always wondered if someone would do this. Lol.
1) My favorite character honestly, it's Riley. I think I'm very similar to Riley and I think she has so much potential, if the writers can make her grow she would be the best. But don't misunderstand me, I love Maya too and I sometimes see myself on her too. /2) I believe that everyone should be tolerant and respectful to others opinion, and although some Rucas shippers really get on my nerves, I respect Rucas. I might shipped them on 7th grade but right now I don't think they are right for each other and although it was cute their SL scene I don't see or feel any connection./ 3) I never watched BMW because I was too young and now I barely had anytime therefor I'm familiar with the show but not that much to answer your question./4) Yes I have, like a thousand of them, I really want the show to keep going and I'm afraid that disney would just cancel it. / 5) What moment isnt? If I was honest, all Season 2 was perfect for Lucaya, but favorite maybe: Campfire (dah), "I want Maya to be happy" and "The blonde beauty".

I do not own GMW
Maya slapped her own mouth as she placed her hand strongly over it.
She had screwed it up; she really had done it this time.
And Maya knew she had screw it up because the minute she took that gasp, the kiss between Farkle and Riley broke as they both gazed alarmed towards her direction behind a tree and a tent. As soon as Maya felt that insisting gaze on Riley's eyes as she located her, she knew she was done, she tried to give a step or two back but it was too late, as Riley dropped her hands off Farkle and walked towards her location.
"Maya, what are you doing here?" Riley shouted as she rushed where Maya was.
Maya remained silent for a second as Riley came towards her; it was honestly terrible and awkward for the friendship of those three, the original trio. Maya was standing paralyzed like she had seen dead people, you could see how pale she was but she didn't really knew if it was because of the accident she had or because she had just saw Riley and Farkle kissing. Her baby blue eyes located Farkle from behind Riley who was almost there, he seemed worst, his face down, bug-eyed and his lips made a thin line over his face. And Riley? She seemed vivid; her face was red and eyes glowering at Maya, and although Maya was scared she saw a glimpse of fear to on Riley's eyes, she was scared that Maya might have seen them.
And she had.
"Should I ask you the same thing? I thought Lucas was your boyfriend, not Farkle." Maya asked Riley, with a dead tone. "If you love Farkle then why are you with Lucas?"
"I-" Riley stuttered but Maya continued.
"Tonight I almost break my neck because you insulted me once again regarding my feelings for Lucas yet here you are kissing Farkle?"
Maya could see it in Riley's eyes now, it was clearer, the fear because she knew Maya had seen them and there was no going back from that. Riley remained quiet as she dropped a tear, Maya's heart clenched because she knew she shouldn't be making her best friend suffer like that. The silence continued for a while until Farkle came from behind Riley.
"Maya don't do this." Farkle begged as he placed a hand on Riley's shoulder so she would feel safe.
Maya raised her head to watch Farkle, it was despondent and it sting Maya. And she snapped out of her trance, that horrible one second feelings when she enjoyed making Riley feel bad, she wanted Riley to be upset because she had hurt her and Maya realized it was a horrible thought.
"I- I'm sorry." Maya said as she fluttered her eyes and looked down, feeling ashamed of what she had done.
"Come, you seem pale and you're hurt." Farkle said as he moved his head pointing towards the campfire, hugging Riley tightly. He was so over protective of Riley and so Maya wondered when they had really fell for each other, when had they realized that they were always going to love each other more?
Maya followed Farkle and Riley to the logs of wood, she sat down on one and a sighed of relieved dropped from her lips as she began to feel the heat of the campfire, she had been freezing because of the almost wet dirt and the cold of the night. She guessed she had been laying there for over an hour, she was grateful she only passed out, if she had been really hurt, she guessed she would be in real trouble.
"What happened to you?" Riley spoke, the concerned in her voice was notable.
"I fell and I think I passed out." Maya said slowly as watched the fire and shiver, the night was too cold. Farkle sat down next to Maya after he whispered something into Riley's ear and she just nodded.
"I would get some bandages for that cut." Riley said lowly as she walked towards one then and Farkle took a blanket and then sat next to Maya.
They remained silent for a few seconds, staring at the campfire and breathing slowly, Farkle place the blanket over Maya shoulders without saying anything and Maya smiled. It was almost involuntarily, for those little moments were Farkle was a gentleman, but also because she was distracted, her mind rumbling as she thought of any clue that indicated that Riley and Farkle were falling for each other but she couldn't detect them, it wasn't obvious for Maya because she always believed Riley would love Lucas and Farkle wouldn't act on his feelings for Riley.
"So who would've imagined, huh? Riley and Farkle." Maya said as she turned her head towards Farkle who remained quiet but a slight smile drew on his face.
"Some things are inevitable, you know? It's like gravity pulling us together." Farkle whispered slowly, Maya saw how his eyes sparkled by the thought of it.
"I'm happy, if you're happy. " Maya emitted. "Now that I think about it, you two are some dorks that are made for the other." Farkle let a slight chuckle out, Maya chuckle too.
"Thanks" Farkle said.
"I knew you love her, I've seen it since Texas." Maya released as she fidgeted with her hands to be warmer. "I just don't know how I possibly missed hers signs."
"I really thought she didn't felt anything for me, until a few minutes ago before you appeared." Farkle said with a half smile, Maya could see the hope in his eyes.
But Maya knew better and although she was happy that they had found each other and apparently their feelings for the other were stronger, she knew she had to break it to them, how they were playing with Smackle and Lucas. So she remained quiet, until Riley appeared in front of them once again, with some bandages. She seemed intimidated by Maya, as she came towards her more precautionary than any other moment, still she was fixing Maya's wounds and checking if she was bleeding anywhere else, making sure she was warm now and there weren't any signs of an extreme trauma. Riley had taken first aid classes therefor she was certainly prepared for this type of accident's thank god, still when she found Maya had no significant trauma then she sat down next to Farkle. Maya could see how awkward things had turned for the three of them, yet she felt she needed to break it to them.
"But you see, there's a problem." Maya then proceeded and a thin line replaced Farkle's smile and Riley drop her head, his eyes went a bit darker and Maya knew it was because she was about to send them back to reality. "She has a boyfriend and you have a girlfriend, you're with two incredible people that don't deserve this."
"We know that Maya." Farkle responded, his voice dripping anger.
"Farkle, this is not a game for them." Maya stated, more upset than Farkle because there was no way they were planning to keep this a secret.
"We are still figuring out our feelings Maya, it's not fair." Farkle said as he stood up, his hands formed fists.
"It's not fair to them either Farkle."
"Why do you have to ruin this for us?" Farkle snapped at Maya as he stood up from the log, glowering at her.
"Because you are playing with people's feelings." Maya jumped too from the log.
She felt angry with Farkle, how in the world he was trying to make this seem right? She knew that Farkle had feelings for Riley but still he wasn't in the right to be an ass to Smackle or Lucas. She knew how awful it felt to be in love with someone who was in love with someone else, the pain she felt once Lucas accepted that he and Riley should be together.
"Stop." Riley suddenly interrupted as she stood between the two of them, breaking the way they were glowering at the other.
Maya could see how confused Riley was, as she watched both of them carefully, her eyes a bit red from crying. Maya felt an ache on her chest, Riley seemed so tired of everything, she was truly exhausted and now she was even more confused than before.
"Riley…"Farkle spoke slowly as he watched her carefully, his eyes full off concerned but Riley was only looking at Maya, her eyes fixated on her.
"Maya, power ring." Riley finally said and Maya's eyes widened.
Riley couldn't possibly ask her to ring power this, she couldn't do it, she simply couldn't stand the simple thought of hurting Lucas like that, of hiding such a thing like this to him.
"Riley but-" Maya stutter but Riley interrupted her.
"Maya, I'm ring powering, this." Riley said as she took Maya's hand into hers and squeezed them. Riley was really serious about this, she was so serious and it just made Maya even more confused.
"But Riley, you would never let me…" Maya muttered but Riley interrupted her once more.
"Maya, ring power." Riley assured again and Maya closed her mouth, a sighed of relieved skipped Riley's lips and then turned around towards the log with Farkle but Maya snapped, she couldn't do it.
"Riley." Maya spoke and she turned around slowly. "I'm not going to keep this forever."
"Maya…" Riley whispered as her eyes widened.
"You need to tell them or I will." Maya stated and then something suddenly moved between the woods.
The three friends turned around as they watched slowly how between the woods, their friends appeared, Lucas appeared and Maya's breath hitched because how could she face him again, after almost implying that she still loved him.
On the other hand, Lucas couldn't believe what he was seeing as he blinked a couple of times before he realized it was truth; Maya was there, safe and sound. His heart almost dropped to the ground because he really had lost hope on finding Maya, he thought he had lost her and he couldn't deal with the pain and regret of not following her right away, for letting her go.
"Maya?" His lips released her name like a sigh of relieved that made her shiver.
Maya smiled back but it dissipated as she saw Lucas' state. His sea-foam green eyes that Maya loved were sagged, exhaustion on his face, he made a very confused smile as he saw her, like if she was an illusion, but his eyes were dripping fear and how not to? Lucas could've sworn Maya had been attacked by someone, dry blood dripping from her forehead, her red cheeks stained with dirt, her tiny body covered in a blanket and her baby blue eyes dull, she managed a weak smile.
"Oh, you found her!" Zay stated as he walked behind Lucas with Smackle right beside him, a smile drew on their faces.
"Hey." Maya whispered, her weak smile still stamped on her face. "Are you guys okay?" Maya said to all of them but her eyes were only focused on Lucas.
Are we okay? Lucas thought, he saw red because he had been worrying sick about Maya, about losing her.
"Are you being serious?" Lucas spitted as he walked towards Maya, his eyes going through her body, to see if she was hurt somewhere else.
"What?" Maya managed to say before Lucas took a grip on her cheek, he was delicate but determined.
Maya could've sworn her heart stopped, he was grabbing her just like that night in Texas a year ago. But Lucas wasn't reminiscing that night, he was checking her cut and the bandaged that Riley had placed on Maya's forehead. His eyes narrowed as he watched carefully her face, Maya swallowed hard but Lucas then dropped his hands to the sides as he confirmed that the cut was clean and she was okay.
"What the hell happened to you?" Lucas exclaimed as he watched Maya carefully, his nostrils flattered and his eyes glowering.
"I fell into a hole in the woods and passed out." Maya answer back with the same determination.
"Talk about Alice in Wonderland…" Zay murmured behind Lucas as he sat down next to Smackle, Riley and Farkle who were watching carefully their conversation.
"Zay, don't." Lucas growled and then his eyes traveled back to Maya. "Why would you run out of the woods without seeing were you were walking?"
"I just ran, okay? I needed to get away from this..." Maya growled back, why was Lucas being such an asshole, she was the one hurt.
"Maya you could've gotten hurt in the fucking woods." Lucas finally snapped. "If you had fallen the wrong way, you could've broken your neck and die." He said as his voice died at the end of the sentence.
And in that moment Maya saw it, he cared about her, he was acting like that because he cared about her, so much and she might even dare to say he still liked her.
"You…" Maya let out, she wanted to say it so badly, she wanted to see what his reaction would be if she said it. But she knew she shouldn't with Riley right there, although Maya knew it was the last thing on Riley's mind but Maya simply knew she shouldn't. "You need to chill." Escape her lips as she sat down in a log and drifted away from Lucas' gaze.
Lucas' jaw clenched as he heard Maya's statement, he believed she didn't understood how much it hurt the thought of losing her, how afraid he was for her, how the only thing he wanted was to protect her. But he also believed it was too late, Maya had a boyfriend now and it would simply didn't matter if he said it right now, she didn't loved him anymore and it was partially his fault for letting her decide how he should be with Riley and not her. And in that moment Riley popped into his head, he hurriedly turned around his gaze to watch an exhausted Riley, her eyes red as she had her head on the crook of Farkle's neck, she was avoiding and Lucas knew he had screw it up with her too.
"Uhm Riley…" Lucas finally said, shame on his voice because he knew Riley deserved to be treated better.
She raised her head and gave him a quick smile but she didn't move from the position she was with Farkle, she simply stood there and watched him carefully. Lucas felt his heart twisting, how on earth he had hurt two of his best friend in one night.
"I'm going to sleep." Riley stated as she gave Farkle a quick look, a certain look that Lucas hadn't seen before in his life.
He felt an itch of suspicion, maybe Riley and Farkle had been talking about her feelings, after all Lucas had to admit that during this year their bond had grown and they had became inseparable, but the itch he felt was different although he decided to ignore it. He watched her carefully as Riley stood up from the log, hug everyone goodbye and then gave him a quick peck on his cheek. She wasn't mad anymore?
But then she stood in front of Maya.
"Maya, would you like to go with me?" Riley said softly but Maya barely turned around to face Riley, she didn't know how to act regarding the secret she was keeping and in that moment she only wanted to be left alone.
"I'm going to stay here a few more minutes Riles, go to sleep." Maya told Riley softly, her eyes still glued to the fire as she watched it carefully, Riley just nodded and walked away.
…
After Riley left, each friend began to leave the campfire to go to sleep, after that day everyone was completely drained. The search for Maya, the fight, getting the camp set up and the good time on the lake had been too much and although each one wanted to talk to Maya about the accident, she wouldn't talk to them, she only said her few words with Riley and Lucas and promised to tell them the details the next morning but she was somehow in a state of shock, that's what they thought.
But in reality Maya just wanted to be left alone, to process everything from that day, to put an order into her thoughts and feelings. Maya believed no one understood that, how in peace she felt when she left alone to organized her thoughts, especially a certain boy with sea-foam green eyes who wouldn't leave the campfire, Maya breathe out as she tried to ignore Lucas because she was still dazed about everything. Although they weren't talking and were in completely different logs, they were both staring at the campfire, completely zooned out of whatever was happening. Lucas was truly worried for Maya, she hadn't move an inch since she sat there about an hour ago, it was already 1:00 am and it seemed like she wasn't planning on moving from there soon.
So the scene was basically Maya all bruised and dirty with blood in her forehead, her baby blue eyes completely zooned out as she watched the campfire only and her body completely still as Lucas stared her, completely terrified of what she would do now or how was she feeling at the moment, his sea-foam eyes dripping panic as he tried to avoid staring at her too much before she threatened him.
Yet he couldn't avoid looking at her and Maya couldn't avoid that she knew Lucas was looking at her all the time.
"Would you mind to stop?" Maya finally snapped as she directed her gaze towards Lucas who froze immediately after Maya spoke.
"I-" Lucas stuttered but it was inevitable the flashback he got from the campfire a year ago, it hunted him so badly.
"What Huckleburry?" Maya asked once again, a bit annoyed but Lucas heartbeat increased even more.
"You called me Huckleburry." Lucas said gently and smiled, it was like he was slowly getting her back, like a year hadn't passed, like things hadn't go so messed up, like she hadn't met Jordan, like if he could still had the chance to choose her.
And Maya swallowed hard because she knew she was falling for him once again, the only thought of saying that nickname reminded her how she felt two years ago and tried to avoid it. But she was falling for Lucas, the feeling she had been trying to avoid so badly since she let Lucas and Riley be together and started dating Jordan was coming back to her again during this weekend and a day had barely pass. She was feeling confused at the moment with everything going on that day but the thought she simply couldn't erase is how actually worry he was for her and the feeling that he might still even loved her.
"Yeah." Maya answer as she gazed at Lucas and he stared back at her in silence.
Both of them wondering how the other one felt, both of them wondering if something like the campfire of last year would happened again, both wondering how in the word they let the other one go and how badly it hurt their hearts the bare thought of losing the other one.
"I've missed it." Lucas affirmed as he gave Maya a slight smile, the one Maya loved because it was simply so charming but honest at the same time she couldn't deal with it.
"Can I ask you something Ranger Rick?" Maya then said without thinking too much on the consequences of her question, Lucas just raised his head and nodded. But Maya realized it was too dangerous to say it there, anyone could wake up and hear them talking about her feelings and Maya wasn't up to that. "But come, let's go to the lake." Maya said as she stood up and grabbed Lucas' hand.
Although Lucas had no idea what Maya was planning, he wouldn't say no to her, so he lace his hand with hers, holding her tightly as they walked together, slowly and in silence, with just smiles drawn on their faces, towards the lake. Thankfully Lucas decided to take a flashlight, he was too afraid that if he didn't Maya would fall again and he wasn't planning to let that happened once more and anyway he was extremely carefully as he guided Maya and tugged her towards him so there wouldn't be any more accidents that day. Maya felt a smile so bright appearing from her mouth as she saw how worried Lucas actually was for her to be safe and she knew she shouldn't but it encouraged her more to talk about her feelings.
And once they reached the deck, Maya wasn't turning back, so they slowly sat at the edge of it, they're feet touching the cold water as they were lighted by the moon.
"So what do you wanted to tell me?" Lucas asked Maya as he contemplated her. She was like a masterpiece, she might be hurt and dirty but for Lucas it was the most beautiful scene, her smile, her eyes and her hair, that light fitted her perfectly. He was feeling she was happy and therefor he was too.
Maya's breathe hitched because she was afraid, but either way she really didn't wanted to keep this for her like she normally did.
So she inhale deeply and simply let it go, the fear she felt so badly, she needed to be honest because she needed to know his true feelings.
"I saw that you cared about me, you cared that I was hurt and you were scared for me…" Maya let out slowly and Lucas felt a knot in his throat because although he wanted Maya to know how much he cared about her, he was afraid that maybe she realized that he still loved her and then would push him away like she normally did.
Lucas became silent for a few seconds; unsure if he should tell the truth, staring at Maya slowly as he thought what he would say, Maya on the other hand felt scared that maybe she had taken those actions like something else than what Lucas really meant. But in that moment, he really didn't cared about the consequences, he only cared about the way her eyes light up once she confessed she realized what Lucas always wanted her to know and he decided honesty was his best choice.
"Maya I never stopped caring about you." Lucas answer back as he maintained a stare-down with her, watching her every move.
And in that moment Maya's breathe hitched, her stomach flipped because he was saying what she had always wanted to hear but she instantly became afraid of what would come next. "Lucas…" she managed to say but he interrupted her because he knew she was going to back down but he wouldn't let it happened this time.
"I know you bailed out on us as soon as you got a boyfriend but I would never not care about you. I will always be right there for you and today it was one of the scariest moments of my life when I thought I lost you."
Maya felt like her heart had stopped in that moment because she didn't really knew if he meant the accident or the fact that she had drifted away because of Jordan. But as Maya was, she instantly thought he was referring about the accident "It was just an accident, I ran too fast and I wasn't-" Maya continued, speaking fast as she tried to avoid his gaze but Lucas simply took a hold of her head because Maya began to wandered.
"Maya I've been scare these last few months because I really thought I lost you for Jordan." Lucas said, his lips began to tug up into a sincere smile because he was finally telling her everything he wanted to.
"But, you didn't care and you're happy with Riles." Maya stutter because she was so scared, she was breathing once again the same air but she still wanted to drift away Lucas' gaze.
"Maya I am not happy without you." Lucas finally snapped and Maya felt like that wall she had build between them since August had finally dropped because he had said it and she raised her head, completely lost in his sea-foam eyes.
"Lucas, you shouldn't." Maya said it slowly because although she wanted to resist what was about to happened she couldn't care less at the moment but there was something in the back of her mind telling she shouldn't but her heart was just saying yes.
"Maya, stop avoiding me and this." Lucas said as he leaned closer into her because there was a fire on his chest telling him to go on, to finally say what he thought.
"Lucas." Maya said breathlessly as he took a hold of the hand he had placed against her cheek as he tugged her closer to him.
"I want you to know that I still love you." Lucas confessed as he leaned towards her.
And Maya felt an explosion of happiness.
It was just everything, she was over the moon, his fingers laced with her blonde hair, their bodies almost pressed up together and Maya almost losing her breath, watching Lucas slowly, Lucas closing his sea-foam green eyes as he felt like he was free now that he told her how he felt. Both hearts beating erratically as they were on the verge of finally feeling the other ones lips, Maya holding Lucas' hand that was mixed with her hair, almost leaning in too. It was happening Maya could feel Lucas lips ghosting over hers and she wanted it so badly and she didn't felt the need to back down, she wanted to feel him now and she thought she wouldn't regret it.
But from one second to another Riley and Jordan simply popped into her mind and she didn't know what to do now because the feeling of Lucas' soft lips barely pressed against her made her dizzy.
But she needed to do whatever it took to stop it, so Maya simply pull both Lucas and herself towards a side to stop the kiss. Without even realizing too much that she had pulled Lucas and herself towards the edge of the deck, only realizing it, as the side of her body was stroked by a flash of cold water, how her breathing was stopped because of the water feeling her nose and mouth, how the warm touch of Lucas disappear and she fell alone into the lake at 1:00 am.
