A/N: This was requested by guest: These are all really good. I think you should do one based off of the song 'what love really means' by JJ Heller.
I had another request from another guest, but I didn't really understand what they meant so if they can clarify, I would be happy to write it :P I'll put up the review here: "You should do a continuation of that chapter and either do when Riley becomes a woman and turns to her mom or Maya. Or a story where Maya becomes a woman and turns to Riley and Topanga."
Thanks!
"He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He's the kid with the story
No one would believe
He prays every night
"Dear God won't you please
Could you send someone here
Who will love me?"
Maya looks at her mom in hurt, "You think I did it?"
Katy pinches the bridge of her nose, sighing, "Maya, I know you like to act rebellious, but you can't just go out and vandalize someone else's property. You should know better."
The blonde protest, "But I didn't-"
"Maya Penelope Hart! Do not lie to your mother! I already know you did it so why don't you take responsibility for your actions?!" Katy yells at the girl, frustrated with her not owning up to her actions.
"BUT MOM!" Maya yells.
Katy turns away from her daughter, not able to bear the upset look on her face, "Maya, go to your room. I'm taking away your art supplies. If you won't admit that you did it, then you must pay the consequences."
Maya trembles. She feels her eyes fill with tears. The blonde's hands ball up into shaking fists, and she looks up at her mother. It doesn't do much because her mother wasn't even facing her.
"Mom! I didn't do it! Please, don't take away my art supplies! That's my life!" Maya cries out.
Katy shakes her head and points to Maya's bedroom, "Go to your room. You are grounded until further notice. And to make sure you don't go running out at night, I'm locking up your window."
Maya screams in frustration, "This isn't fair! You don't even believe me, and I am telling the truth! You're my mother! Why can't you just act like it for once?!"
The blonde runs into her bedroom, slamming the door behind her. She locks the door, and finally, Maya lets her tears run down her face. She sobs, curling up next to the door.
"Dear God, won't you please, could you send someone here who will love me?" Maya asks brokenly before sobbing again.
She sniffles, and the blonde looks out her window, the tears still streaming down her face, "Who will love me for me not for what I have done, or what I will become... Who will love me for me 'cause nobody has shown me what love..."
Maya wipes the tears on her sweater, "What love really means..."
She buries her face in her hands, sobs wracking her body.
"Her office is shrinking a little each day
She's the woman whose husband has run away
She'll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would've stayed
And she says..."
Katy sighs, hearing the sobs coming from her daughter's room. A sharp pang of guilt hits her, and Katy quickly turns away. She grabs her keys, having to go in for another shift at the Nighthawk Diner. She glances one last time at Maya's door longingly before exiting the apartment to her car.
She opens the car and gets into the driver's seat, buckling in. Katy groans in frustration, resting her head on the steering wheel. The blonde bites her lip, wishing that Maya wasn't crying. That she could raise Maya better. That Maya could have a father.
The last thought strikes a chord in Katy, making her think of Kermit Clutterbucket. She misses his bright blue eyes that were so much like his daughter's, she missed his smirk that always seemed to grace his face all the time, and Katy most importantly missed when Kermit had been next to her, watching their baby grow into the beautiful girl she is today.
Katy blames herself for Maya not having the father she deserves. The blonde knows that if she had just been prettier or kinder, then Kermit would've stayed. It's hard giving Maya all she deserves when you are a single mother who has to work everyday all the time just so her little girl has a place to call home.
The blonde feels a tear slip down her cheek, and Katy looks up at the sky, "Who will love me for me, not for what I have done, or what I will become... Who will love me for me 'cause nobody has shown me what love-" Katy sniffles. "What love really means."
She feels another tear slip out, "What love really means..."
"He's waiting to die as he sits all alone
He's a man in a cell who regrets what he's done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul,
'Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home.'"
Maya whimpers, waking up one the floor. She looks outside, seeing that it had turned dark and cold. She buries her head in her hands again, trembling, but no tears come out. She hugs her knees.
With a raw, emotional voice, Maya weakly calls out into the night, "I can't do this anymore... I want to leave... God, why did you make me broken? What did I do to deserve this kind of life?"
"Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said,
'I know you've murdered and I know you've lied
And I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you'll listen I'll, I'll tell you that I...'"
Maya feels arms wrap around her, and she is hit with a familiar, comforting scent. She feels sobs begin to wrack her body again, not able to speak. The blonde feels her head being tilted up, and she is met with the caring eyes of Riley Matthews.
"I know you didn't do it, Maya. I believe you, and I am glad you are here because you are my best friend. I love you. You may be broken, but I am here to fix you," Riley whispers softly to Maya, genuine love in her eyes.
The blonde just sobs, and she feels Riley give her a soft kiss on the forehead before wrapping her arms around Maya. Riley just lets Maya sob, gripping onto the brunette for dear life. Riley looks at her best friend with sadness.
Riley whispers to the sobbing blonde, "I will love you for you, not for what you have done, or what you will become. I will love you for you. I will give you the love... the love that you never knew."
She feels Maya's sobs lessen, so the brunette continues, "Love you for you, not for what you have done, or what you will become. I will love you for you. I will give you the love-" She hears Maya's breaths begin to even. "The love that you never knew."
Katy wipes down the tables of the Nighthawk Diner, about ready to lock up for the night. She looks up at the sky, just wanting to go home to her baby. Her daughter needed her, and she couldn't even be there for her half the time. Katy felt alone, like no one was there to look out for her family.
Feeling overwhelmed, Katy sits down at the table. She buries her head in her hands, feeling like she was about to cry. She felt so alone. Katy needed someone who loved her, who would protect her. Kermit was supposed to do that, but he left her.
She hears the jingle of the door, but Katy has no energy left to greet the person. She hears heavy footsteps near her until they stop. She feels a hand on her back.
"Katy?"
The blonde looks up, her eyes red from tears, "S-Shawn?"
Shawn opens his arms, concern in his eyes, "Come here, Katy..."
Katy sobs before hugging Shawn tightly. Shawn quickly hugs back, and Katy feels the loneliness start to ebb away. She cries, and Shawn strokes her hair calmingly.
"Katy... What's wrong?" he asks softly.
Katy sniffles, "I just feel... feel so helpless. I can't give Maya the life she needs. Shawn, I wish she had a father to grow up with... I just... I can't do this alone. I need someone to care for me, too..."
Shawn kisses the top of her head, "Katy... I will love you for you, not for what you have done, or what you will become. I will love you for you. I will give you the love... the love that you never knew."
Katy looks up at him, and Shawn smiles, "Love you for you, not for what you have done, or what you will become. I will love you for you. I will give you the love-" Katy gives him a small smile back. "The love that you never knew."
"I love you, Riles. Please, never change," Maya whispers, holding her friend tightly.
"I won't; I'll always be here, Maya. I hope you will be, too," Riley says, giving her friend a kiss on the forehead again.
Maya sighs, snuggling into Riley's embrace, "As long as I have you, I will never leave."
