Previously...
Maya got uncomfortable at the thought of staying while not knowing when Josh would exactly wake up and if he would be completely okay. Her best friend saw that immediately and told her softly, "I can also stay here, Maya. You don´t need to do this if it´s too much for you."
The blonde looked at her and considered it for a second, but then shook her head and then said, "No, it´s fine. I´ll stay with Josh."
Later at the Hospital
"He will be Fine, Maya." Riley tried to reassure her best friend who was literally sharing as they were walking down the hallway to Josh's room. The doctor had finally told them that they could go and see him, but Maya wasn't so sure, if she was ready for this now that they were actually walking there. Riley, being the good best friend she was could clearly See that and just wanted to make her best friend feel better, but she didn't feel so well herself. Her uncle was hurt. Sure, non of them had urged him to do anything, but he was hurt and she was worried. Really worried.
Room 202. They had arrived at the door and Maya was literally shaking right now. He was in there, because he wanted to prove something totally ridiculous to her. It was stupid, but he had done it for her and now he was hurt.
As she put a shaking hand on the door handle, Riley put a hand on her shoulder. "Lucas and Farkle come back in a minute. If you want to, I can ask Lucas if he stays the night and we can go home for you to calm down First. He'd do it for sure. You just have to say something to me and I ask him." She told her, but Maya quickly shook her head, looking at her best friend who was just trying to help her.
"No. He almost killed himself, because of me. I want to stay here and kill him as soon as he wakes up. He's nuts." Maya raised her voice with every second word, only realising at the end that it was already like 11 pm and they were in the hospital. She should probably be quiet even though she wanted to scream, but instead she decided to finally open the door to the room. She did it really slow, trying to get a glimpse at first.
But it was no use. As soon as she saw Josh her breath hitched in a really bad way. He was looking horrible. One of his legs was in a cast, too and there was a huge bandage around his head. There was also a tube attached at his chest that was probably going to his lungs, spending Oxygen and yet he was still not breathing steadily, but he was breathing. That was something.
Riley gasped as well, but Maya was the first one by his side. She sat down on the chair that was already at his bed and took his hand that wasn't in a bandage, too. The other one was The blonde hadn't realized how much the fell had hurt him. "Josh." She whispered shocked and angry at the same time, while stroking his hind. "You idiot." She felt the tears welling up in her eyes again, but she didn't want to cry again. She already sobbed the whole time, before they were able to see him. So she just settled down on stroking his hand.
Her brunette best friend and the niece of the hurt boy in front of them sat down on the other side, looking down at her uncle. "Daddy told me parts of the stories, but I didn't know that his lungs were that horrible." She stated.
Maya didn't really listen to her though. Her eyes were only on the boy she liked since a solid 2 years and longer. Well, if she was honest to herself she thought that he was cute since she met him. But it was way more than a crush meanwhile and he liked her, too but both of them were stupid. He was probably the bigger idiot, but still.
"First you tell me that you're not ready and then as I want to get over my fear after almost losing Ranger Rick at that stupid contest while having a dumb crush on him and you scare me even more with your stupidity. Why you idiot?" She asked mad while Riley watched her and then looked back to her uncle. To her it was obvious. She didn't know, if Josh had really changed his mind, but he didn't want Maya to do something alone with any boy. He was jealous. Really, really jealous.
Before she could say anything to that though, Lucas, Zay and Farkle came through the door looking concerned first at the girls and then shocked at the boy in the hospital bad. Right after them Pappy Joe came through the door, shaking his head and looking at Maya.
"You're uncle Boing really needs to get his jealousy out of the way or we might end up at a funeral next time, Maya." He stated bluntly and everyone else looked in disbelief at him while Maya sighed even though it sting. Pappy Joe was right and she knew it. Josh and her had to talk and he finally had to come to his senses or she might end up in the grave with him or in jail, because of killing him a second time after being incredibly stupid.
After two minutes of silence Lucas remembered what he actually wanted to say in the first place. "I just talked to Mr. Matthews over the phone. Their plane will land at 7 in the morning and then they'll take the next cab to the hospital. They couldn't get any earlier flight even as your dad started to go crazy, because he wanted to go to his brother, Riles." He informed everyone and the other sighed. Maya shook again at the thought that Shawn wouldn't come for another 9 hours probably.
Riley saw the worry in Maya's face and looked even more concerned now. "Are you sure that you want to stay here?" She asked her again and the blonde slowly nodded at her, her eyes glassy.
The boys walked up to them. "Where's Smackle?" Maya suddenly asked, looking around and trying to get the subject away from herself. She really did not want to talk right now and that was the first question that came into her mind without bursting out into tears right away. She also didn't want the others to go crazy because of her. This was about Josh.
"She doesn't really like hospitals. Like she actually hates them." Farkle replied and shrugged. Maya looked up at him and slowly nodded, while Riley looked up at the clock. Farkle saw her look and his eyes went wide, too. "We're supposed to be out her since 10 minutes. If the doctor comes and sees us here we're going to be in big trouble." He stated and looked at the others. Almost all of them looked at Maya now.
"Go." She said. "I'll be okay. Shawn and the others will come soon."
On the way home
"I don't feel good about leaving Maya on her own there like that with Josh." Riley stated worried while laying her head on Lucas shoulder. They had just gone into the car and Pappy Joe started driving them home. All Riley could think about was how Maya was alone in the hospital with an unconsciousness Josh. "I hate it to leave my best friend alone and my uncle who's hurt." She added and this time her boyfriend sighed, putting an arm around her, pulling her closer.
"Trust me, Riles. Me, too. Maya haven't even been that scared last time we were here. She's going through a lot." He replied and Riley looked in disbelief at him. He quickly added, "But it's Maya we're talking about. She'll be okay and your dad and the others will come soon. It's one night and she can always call us." They both knew that Maya normally wouldn't call, because she tried to be brave. Maybe this time she would.
The Cowbou kissed his girlfriends hair and Riley sighed, snuggling even closer. Zay and Farkle made gagging noises behind them what made the couple roll their eyes. Then the brunette looked at her boyfriend. "Can we ever go to Texas without anything happening?" She asked what made Lucas chuckle.
This time he kissed her sweetly, but shortly on the lips and replied, "I don't know, but we'll be fine as long as we stay together." Riley nodded at that, smiling at him while he kissed her again, loving the taste of his girlfriend's lips, but as they broke apart Riley yawned what made him chuckle.
He kissed her hair and said, "Go get some sleep. I'll make sure to wake you up, if Maya calls I promise."
Back in the Hospital in Josh's room
Since her friends left Maya had been sitting at the same spot besides Josh's bad, just staring at the handsome young man in front of her. She did not know when it happened, but at some point the tears had started rolling and she just sat there, silently crying. She didn't feel like sleeping until he woke up. She wanted him to know that she'd be there when he woke up. Not just because she wanted him to see that she still cared, but also to tell him how dumb he was. Kind of.
Maya sighed, stroking Josh's hand again while looking at her duffle bag. She suddenly realized that Lucas or Riley had also put their sketchpad in there. She looked at the sleeping boy in front of her and smiled slightly. Then she pulled out her sketchpad and a pencil, took a closer look at Josh and then started drawing.
While drawing she tried to ignore the feeling of nausea at the thought of maybe loosing him. The only person who could save his life now was he himself. "Stay strong, Josh. Wake up, we need you." Maya pleaded while continuing drawing. She knew that he probably couldn't hear her, but she needed to say it. "You better don't die while trying to prove the most stupid point ever." She added, letting out a bitter laugh while putting a sweaty strand of hair from his eyes. He definitely needed to cut them again. They were getting too long.
She looked at her sketchpad, only seeing some lines so far, but she had the actual picture right in front of her. She'd call it Sleeping Beauty and give it to him as a get better present. He'd understand the joke. He was besides Riley and Shawn probably the only person who could really understand her.
The blonde girl swallowed, a single tear falling onto the drawing what made her groan, but she just continued drawing around it and tried to stop crying even though it definitely was more difficult than thought. She didn't want this drawing to be ruined. It has been a while since she draw him.
The drawing took a whole while longer though since she was constantly staring at him while trying to calm down more and more. Otherwise she wouldn't survive that night. She had to stay awake for him, had to be there when he woke up. He would wake up. Joshua Gabriel Matthews wouldn't die on her. He wouldn't do anything that could hurt others on purpose unless it was about love that he seemed to sometimes know absolutely nothing about.
Maya took a deep breath, looking at him again her eyes now wandering to his face. His closed eyes, the perfectly shaped Matthews nose and those lips... She had had dreams of them how much she wanted to kiss them.
Before she knew what she was doing she suddenly leaned down. Her head was screaming no, but her heart was beating out of it's chest as her face came closer to his. Before she really knew what was happening her lips were on his. It was a short sweet kiss and he obviously didn't kiss back, but Maya still had tingling on her lips as she broke apart after 3 seconds. Josh still hadn't woken up though and she swallowed while leaning back in her chair, looking at the drawing again.
This was going to be a long night.
The next morning
"Where is my brother?" Cory cried, running into the hospital followed by his best friends and their wife. Everyone looked up to them, but neither of them could care less. As Cory arrived at the counter he quickly said to the nurse there, "I'm the brother of Joshua Gabriel Matthews who was brought here yesterday, because of his lungs giving in and the concussion. What's his room? These are my wife, my best friend who has been there the last time something like this happened and his wife." Cory rambled down and the nurse looked with raised eyebrows at him, but quickly checked at the computer.
"Room 202, but", before she could finish they were already walking off again to the room the nurse had said. Cory and Shawn were literally running there, being completely out of breath as they arrived. Shawn opened the door to look shocked at the scene in front of him. Cory who walked in besides him gasped, too.
Josh was still sleeping on the bed with all the bandages and besides him on the chair was Maya, holding his hand. Her sketchpad was at the night table besides Josh's bed. Someone must have put a blanket over her. She was sleeping peacefully what made Shawn breath relieved while he was walking up to the two. Cory followed him and Topanga and Katy had arrived now, too.
Cory immediately kneeled down to his brother, running a hand through his hair. "Oh Joshy. What are you doing?" He asked him sadly. He knew that Josh's lungs were horrible and that something like that could always happen again, but he just wished it never would. Especially the tube at his chest made him flinch as he saw it. He was so close to loosing him again and he didn't want to. It wasn't fair for him or any of them.
Shawn on the other hand looked at his daughter who gripped Josh's hand tighter in the sleep and he sighed. He knew that this would happen eventually and this just confirmed his fears. He loved Josh but that accident...
Before he could think any further though Katy exclaimed, ''Shawny, look at this." Shawn looked confused at her, walking up to his wife who had Maya's sketchpad in her hand. As Shawn approached her his eyes went wide. Katy stated the obvious, "She draw him. I've never seen something so beautiful, yet so sad."
Now Cory and Topanga looked up, too and at the drawing, being quiet shocked as well. Before they could say anything though Maya stirred slowly and opened her eyes. The first two persons she saw were her parents who looked in awe at her while she looked a bit dazed and confused back, only slowly remembering that they promised to come. After a good minute she finally greeted them with a weak smile, "Hey mom, dad."
