I DO NOT OWN GIRL MEETS WORLD!

It had been quite sometime since Maya and Lucas parted ways as a couple. Almost all of sophomore year to be exact.

It was hard and uncomfortable for the two since they lived in the same house and had to ride to and from school together, but eventually they came to an understanding. Lucas was ready to try being friends so things became less tense between the two. They were always having "moments" but they could never last because Maya would always break them. It broke Maya's hart because she really did love him, but if she wanted to be with him she couldn't be with him romantically.

Towards the end of sophomore year something happened, or more of something came out, and Maya's life took another tumble to the ground.

FLASHBACK:

Maya was walking down the school hallway headed for her locker like she always did at this time each day, but something was different about this week.

You see, since Maya and Lucas decided it was time to be friends because they missed each other, girls started treating Maya differently, more rudely.

Maya was kind of tired of it so today when comments were made as she walked down the hall she decided to stop.

"Look. There's the girl who couldn't handle Friar. I bet he dumped her because she wouldn't go all the way, guess she needs liquor to do it." said a preppy girl.

Maya stopped after she heard this and turned to look to see who actually said it. It was none other than Ashley Benison, one of the most popular girls in school.

"Listen," Maya said walking over to her, "I know we aren't exactly friends but I don't appreciate you making rude comments about me day in and day out. It's not cool and it could really hurt someone with the way you talk about them."

"What? You mean me?" she played dumb. "I only speak the truth." she smiled sarcastically.

"See I beg to differ because you weren't even at that party when I was assaulted. You didn't even go to this school!" Maya said getting angry. "So I'd really appreciate it if you didn't talk about me like you know me."

"Oh but see, I do know you."

"Oh yea?" Maya said.

"Yea I do. See I know things no one else knows, things Lucas Friar told me…"

"You aren't even friends with Lucas."

"Oh but see, I don't need to be."

Maya was confused.

"You see, I know him a lot better than you, a lot closer."

"Okayy look, I don't have time for this. I have practice in 20 minutes so I need to get lost." Maya said walking away.

"That's right, run away. You couldn't handle the truth." She shouted as Maya walked away.

"Just like you couldn't handle Friar!" Maya stopped.

"If you've got something to say then you need to just say it okayy, cause I am tired of all your bull shit!" Maya said coming back.

"You sure?" Ashley asked smiling.

"You see, Lucas is a very… intimate person, but he isn't worth dating or anything. He's worthless."

Maya was getting very angry. She hated anyone who talked about her friends like they were trash.

"He isn't worth getting to know, just good for having a good time." Ashley continued.

Maya was silent as Ashley circled her saying these things to her.

"He's got a great body too. One definitely worth playing with."

Maya was boiling with anger now.

"He's got great structure down south, very sight worthy.

"That's it!" Maya exclaimed before she punched Ashley in the face knocking her flat on her ass.

Maya was tired of hearing what she was saying. She was making Lucas seem like a piece of meat.

"What the hell!" Ashley screamed lunging at Maya.

They had a whole crowd around them now.

"FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!" The other kids screamed.

Maya and Ashley just went at each other. Pulling one another's hair and whipping one another around.

**Lucas POV.

"What's going on over there?" He said to Zay as they rounded the corner.

"FIGHT!" They heard someone yell.

"Oooh chick fight!" Zay said running over Lucas following behind.

"Oh shit." Lucas said as he got a view on the girls. It was Maya and Ashley literally trying to kill one another.

"Hey hey hey! Break it up!" Lucas said getting in the middle of them. "Zay help me here!" Lucas said.

Zay grabbed Ashley and Lucas grabbed Maya.

"What's going on?!" Lucas asked.

"She was talking about you like you were a piece of meat!" Maya yelled.

"I was only telling her the truth!"

"What truth! You ain't got nothing on him!"

"Wanna bet! Wanna know how he was so drunk at my party that he did some pretty stupid things! Wanna know how he asked me to help him forget!"

"Ashley!" Lucas said shutting her up.

"Why don't you tell her Lucas? Tell her how you wanted to forget about her and move on. How you were so drunk you asked me to sleep with you!"

Maya was astounded at what she was hearing. She couldn't believe it.

"Tell her Lucas!" Ashley shouted trying to keep the crowd interested.

Maya got out of her grip from Lucas and looked at him.

"Is it true? Did you sleep with her?" Maya said looking in his eyes.

"Maya can we please go somewhere and talk… alone."

"No Lucas! Tell me now! Is it true?!" Maya said getting angry.

"Maya I- uh-"

Maya started shaking her head no very angrily.

"How could you?!" Maya yelled at him pushing him backwards and running off.

"Maya wait!" Lucas yelled.

"Okayy, that's enough people! Get Lost!" Zay yelled clearing the crowd.

Lucas was angry now. Angry at himself for doing something so stupid and then not telling Maya about it.

"I told her she couldn't handle the truth." Ashley said to one of her friends.

Lucas looked her in the eyes like he could kill her.

"You are some piece of work you know that?!" He said to her.

"I'm not the one who cheated."

"Fuck you!" Lucas exclaimed.

"Already did." Ashley said smiling like she was satisfied.

**Maya's POV.

He didn't deny what she was saying. He couldn't even speak.

"How could you?!" I shouted pushing him away and running off.

I left my bag and everything there in the hall and just darted. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to get out of this hell hole.

I hit the front doors and looked around. It was pouring rain. I started to run out into the rain when I ran out in front of a car and just stopped as it slammed on it's breaks and just missed me.

I was frozen. I couldn't see who it was or anything. There was just too much goin on.

"Maya?"

I covered my eyes from the headlights that were beaming into my eyes. It was dark and stormy and I couldn't see anything but a figure.

"Maya?" he said again.

"Josh?"

"Maya I'm so sorry, I didn't see you! Are you alright?"

"Yea I'm fine."

"Let me give you a ride home. It's pouring and your soaking wet."

"No, I can't go home."

"What?" he said confused.

"Just take me anywhere else please?" Maya said going up to him.

"Okayy, okayy. Get in."

Maya got in the car.

"Here." Josh said handing her his hoodie from the back seat.

Maya too the hoodie and put it on without any fight. She was freezing.

"Are you alright? What happened? Why were you running in the rain?" Josh asked.

"I don't wanna talk about it. Can you please just take me anywhere but here." Maya said not looking at him.

"Of course. We can go back to my house."

"That's perfect." Maya said.

It seemed like in was taking forever to get to Josh's. The rain was causing everyone to drive slow and there was just so much traffic.

Josh wasn't trying to pry anything out of Maya anymore. He just waited for her to talk.

He looked over and noticed her leaning against the window shivering holding herself because she was cold. He reached down and turned the heat up.

Maya felt the warm air and lifted her head to look at him.

"You seem cold." he said looking at her as they sat at the red light.

Maya gave a quick small smile.

The sat in silence for a moment longer before Maya broke the silence.

"Is there something wrong with me?" she said looking at Josh.

"What?"

"Is there a sign on my forehead that says "Hey, feel free to ruin my day!"?"

"Maya what are you-"

"I just found out Lucas cheated on me."

Josh went silent.

"Yea, apparently at that party Ashley threw earlier in the year. He was drunk and told her he wanted to move on. I guess that meant having sex with her."

Josh still hadn't said anything.

"I mean I know we had just broken up so really it wasn't cheating, but you know, I have feelings too and I just- I was having such a hard time and he didn't want anything to do with me and- I swear there's just a sign on my forehead that says hey I'm broken, feel free to break me more!" Maya said crying hysterically.

Maya was kind of laughing at herself to a point where she finally broke into full on tears dropping her face into her hands.

Maya was broken. She just found out the only boy she ever loved basically cheated on her because he wanted to forget about her. He wanted to forget everything they had together. What sort of a person sleeps with another person to forget about someone else.

Josh pulled his car over into the closest parking lot and put it in park. He pulled up his middle console and pulled Maya over to him so he could hug her.

Maya didn't go home that night. She texted Mrs. Friar letting her know she'd be staying at Missy's for the rest of the week, but she didn't stay at Missy's, she stayed at Josh's.

Josh's parents were very welcoming with open arms. The loved Maya ever since they met her and always felt she needed more for what little things she had in her life, so when she needed to leave the Friars for a while, they were the first ones to offer and warm bed and food. Maya was really grateful.

**Lucas POV.

Lucas went home that day after school angry and upset.

He stormed through the door which really caught his moms attention.

"Lucas? What's wrong?"

"Momma, I really screwed up." he said on the verge of tears.

"Sit down honey, maybe I can help you fix this."

He shook his head. "I don't think this can be fixed." a tear fell onto his cheek.

"Oh honey. What did you do?" she said getting up and hugging him.

"Momma, I cheated on Maya."

She looked confused.

"No were not together and we haven't been since you signed the papers, but before that. There was a party and I was drunk and I slept with another girl."

"Oh Luke."

"And I know you don't approve but now I know I never have another chance to be with her momma. I love her and yet I lost her for good this time."

END OF FLASHBACK:

Something positive came out of that whole situation though. Maya and Josh finally became an item. It didn't happen right away, but they were a couple by the end of school.

Maya had decided after Ashley's little announcement, that she was the one who needed time from Lucas, so she cut the cord with him and decided to stay at Missy's for a little while. Mrs. Friar didn't fight Maya on this because she knew Maya needed time to breath and move on.

Maya cutting the cord with Lucas broke her heart, but it needed to be done. With one friend on hiatus Maya needed someone she could count on, and that was Josh. Maya and Josh became very very close after all of this. Maya knew she had Missy and Leila, but she needed someone who wasn't a girl to keep her grounded, and as much as she loved Zay, it couldn't be him because he was best friends with Maya and Lucas so he couldn't just abandon one for the other and Maya completely understood that.

FLASHBACK:

Something was just different one day. Maya was just sitting on the couch with Josh at his house and as the two were watching a movie and talking about it, Maya felt something she hadn't before.

Josh was arguing with Maya over Ratatouille; Maya loved the movie because it was animated and that meant anything could happen, but Josh disagreed saying it lead to unrealistic expectations of what real life.

"See! Look at that!" Josh exclaimed pointing at the TV. "That's not plausible, a whole bunch of Rats just cooking in a kitchen, and full gourmet meals too! I just don't see how this could be real!"

Maya could help but laugh at how repulsed he was by this movie. Once she contained her laughter she was just looking at him while he was staring at the TV.

"Josh?" she said pulling his attention.

"Yea?" he said looking at her.

She wasted no time and smashed her lips into his. It was a hot and heavy passionate kiss which turned into a mini make-out session.

The two released and Maya rested her head against his. She was blushing.

"Does this mean your ready?" Josh asked.

Maya smiled. "Yes." she shook her head.

"Good, cause I could do this all day!" Josh smiled pulling her back into a deep kiss.

"Wait." Maya said pulling out of it. "Just promise me one thing."

"Anything." Josh said.

"Just always be honest with me. I don't want another up and down relationship because I don't think I could handle it again."

"Always. I will never lie to you Maya." he said looking into her eyes. "I've waited almost 2 years for you and I am not going to just throw it all away now." he said as a smile crept onto his face.

Maya smiled at this and attacked his face.

END OF FLASHBACK:

Maya was finally happy. She was at a point in her life where she felt like she could just let her guard down and be with Josh. Nothing was gonna stop her happiness. That was until she came to school one day to find a furious Lucas waiting at her locker.

"Josh! Your dating Josh!"

"Lucas, I really don't need the drama right now." Maya said opening her locker.

"So he just moved in on a weak moment and you let him! How could you Maya?"

"Me? How could I? Lets recap! You were the one who slept with Ashley right after we broke up! Do you know how much that hurts Lucas! To know the only guy I had ever loved wanted to forget everything about me!"

"Maya I-"

"And no! Josh didn't move in on a weak moment. I made the first move! He was waiting for me to be ready! He didn't pressure me or anything, so before you go accusing him of all that stuff you should get your facts straight!"

"Maya I've apologized a million times. When are you gonna forgive me?"

"When you mean it!" Maya slammed her locker and looked at him with devil eyes. "Until then we cannot be friends because everything is just so much more with you and I need simple right now! I deserve to have to not work at something for once!" Maya exclaimed before walking away.

Maya and Lucas hadn't talked since that conversation. It had been months. Maya was really happy with Josh. She really did love him, but it took her time to realize that she didn't love him romantically. Yes they were extremely happy together, but they both just agreed that they worked better as friends because it was less awkward. Maya and Josh were extremely close and she didn't want to lose him. Neither one was upset about them becoming just friends again. They knew that they'd always be there looking out for each other, keeping each other out of trouble.

It was the summer before Junior year. Select students had been chosen to attend a project in Hawaii where they would go and help build schools and in return receive a free weekend at a resort in Hana lulu. To no surprise the whole group of friends were chosen to go. Maya, Missy, and Leila were beyond excited.

"I cannot wait!" Missy exclaimed.

"Yea, late night parties with hot Hawaiian guys, hell yes!" Leila said.

"We're not going to party Leila. We're going to build schools for the kids." Maya said.

"Yea, but it doesn't mean we can't have a good time on our own time." Leila argued back.

"Well either way we are going to have so much fun!" Missy said breaking the argument.

**The day of the trip.

The groups plane had landed and they had entered the hotel. The teacher gave them instructions on where their rooms were and who they were staying with. After that he told them the rest of the day was theirs to do whatever but not to be late for report time in the morning because they had a long day ahead of them.

"What first?" Missy said as she was jumping out of her skin.

"I say we sit in the room and be safe for the night." Leila said.

Missy and Maya looked at her like WTF. It was Leila and those words just came out of her mouth.

"Kidding!" Leila said making herself laugh.

"I knew it was to good to be true." Maya said walking into their room.

"Let's go swimming!" Missy exclaimed.

"Maya can you handle swimming? Is it safe enough for you?"

"Ha ha." Maya pretend laughed.

KNOCK KNOCK

"I'll get it." Missy said opening the door.

"Don't worry. It's no one important." she said walking back to the beds.

"I beg to differ. I am very important." Josh said walking in.

"Hey Josh." Maya and Leila said.

"So what is first on our agenda?" He said sitting on their couch.

"Missy wants to go swimming." Maya said unpacking her suit case.

"Yea I do. Come on Maya! It'll be fun!" Missy pleaded.

"But we just got off the plane. Aren't you at all tired?"

"No! And you can't be either. You and Josh slept the whole way!"

"That's true." Josh chimed in.

"Alright fine. But I don't want to be out super late."

"Yay!" Missy screeched.

"Josh you coming too?" Leila asked.

"If you want me to." he replied.

"Of course. We need a male to protect us from all the strange Hawaiian men." Missy said.

"Then I shall be there. Meet you at the pool in 15 minutes?"

"Yes!" Leila said.

Josh left the room and the girls got ready.

The group had such a good time. Maya hated to admit it but she really did want to go swimming, she just didn't want to run into Lucas. They still weren't talking.

Missy and Leila had left the pool to go sun dry and tan while the sun was still out, so that left Maya and Josh to hang by themselves.

"Earth to Maya." Josh said.

"What? Oh yea. Sounds like fun."

"You didn't hear a thing I said did you?"

"Sorry." Maya apologized.

"Thinking about Lucas again?"

"No. Yes. I don't know." Maya stumbled on her words. "Is it bad that I miss him? Like as a friend?"

"Not at all. You two were friends since 7th grade. 4 years is a long time."

Maya sighed.

"Have you thought about talking to him?" Josh asked.

"I wouldn't even know what to say."

"Just tell him you miss him."

"I can't do that." Maya protested.

"Why not?"

"Because we haven't spoken in almost 2 months."

Josh stayed silent.

"I just- I don't know." Maya said.

"Well maybe I can help you take your mind off of things…" Josh said.

"How so?"

"Maybe we can go into town. You know, sight seeing and what not."

"Really? You'd do that for me?"

"I'd do anything for you Maya."

Maya smiled.

"Alright. Let's say an hour? That way I can shower…"

"Perfect." Josh smiled.

"Well then let's ditch this so we don't lose daylight!" Maya said making her way out of the pool.

Maya and Josh went their separate ways.

Maya was putting the finishing touched on her make up when Missy and Leila walked in.

"Ooh la la." Leila said looking at Maya. "Where are you off to?"

"Josh and I are gonna go into town."

"All by yourselves?" Missy got wide eyed.

"Stop that! Josh and I agreed we work better as friends and nothing more." Maya said pointing her finger at Missy.

"Well if you aren't gonna date him can I?" Missy joked.

"Missy!" Maya exclaimed.

"What? That boy is mighty fine." Missy smiled.

"Okayy, well you sit here and drool. In the meantime I am gonna go have a care free safe night."

"Have fun…." Missy said.

"Use a condom!" Leila shouted as Maya walked out the door.

Maya couldn't help but smile. Her friends were definitely something else.

Maya met Josh down in the lobby.

The elevator door opened and Maya stepped out to see Josh sitting waiting for her.

"Hey gorgeous!" he said standing up. "You ready?"

"Absolutely!" Maya said.

"You look great by the way."

"Why thank you!" Maya smiled.

"Shall we?"

"We shall." Maya giggled.

As Maya and Josh walked out the front doors of the hotel her put his arm around her and she put hers around his waist.

"Hey love birds! You're gonna need these!" Leila shouted from their room balcony.

"Oh god." Maya said looking up.

Leila had dropped a handful of condoms onto Maya and Josh.

"Leila!" Maya shouted.

**Lucas POV.

Lucas's room was right down the hall from the girls. He and Zay were sharing. He watched Maya from a far that day. He watched her have a good time in the pool without him, and then again just now as Leila dropped condoms onto Maya and Josh.

Lucas was angry at what he had just seen. Maya and Josh leaving to have sex. He couldn't believe he would be her first. Lucas had always wanted to be her first.

"I need to get her back." he said walking back into the room.

"Come on dude. She's in a good place." Zay said.

"I know she misses me. I can tell."

"How so?"

"I don't know. I just can."

"So what's the plan?"

"I need to get her away from Josh. I need to get her alone so I can talk to her."

"How do you plan to do that. Josh is like her protector now."

"I know. I don't know. I'll think of something."

**Maya's POV.

Maya and Josh spent the night out just having a good time enjoying each others company.

"I'm glad were best friends." Maya said to Josh.

"Me too. I don't think I'd be happy if we had continued dating just to break up and lose this."

"I know right!" Maya exclaimed.

The two were walking down the beach as they talked.

"Thanks for being here for me Josh. It feels like you and I have been through so much together in the past 2 years."

"We really have." Josh laughed.

"Yea, it's been a wild ride." Maya said.

"We should get back to the hotel. We don't want to break curfew." Josh said.

"Good idea."

Josh walked Maya back to her room, which she knew Missy and Leila would spy on them through the peep hole.

"I had a really good time tonight." Maya said stopping in front of her door.

"You deserved it." Josh smiled.

"Well thank you. And next time we go out I am paying."

"Maya you don't have to. I enjoy paying."

Maya smiled.

"Your so sappy." she said.

"It makes me loveable." he joked back.

Awkward silence.

"Well, I should probably go inside since Missy and Leila are spying on us." Maya said hitting the door.

"Ow!" Maya and Josh heard.

Josh laughed.

"I'll see you in the morning?"

"Bright and early." Maya smiled.

"Thank you again!" Maya said giving him a hug.

"Anytime Hart! Anytime!"

With that being said Maya went into her room only to be bombarded with questions from Missy and Leila.

Maya assured them nothing romantic happened. They just hung out as friends. Got dinner, had ice cream, and walked on the beach. That was it.

"So if you're really not gonna date him can I please?" Missy whined.

"Baby no. I love Josh and you are not going to ruin that for me!" Maya laughed.

"Fine." Missy said with a huff.

"We should hit they hay. Long day tomorrow." Maya said changing the subject.

The girls went to bed and Maya went to bed with a smile on her face.

Little did she know she had a really bug day ahead of her. More than planned.
