Chapter 2! I want to thank you to all who has read, reviewed, favorited, and followed this story! Thank you so so sooo much for the support.
Also, I had the idea to write this story before Girl Meets Legacy, and before that I thought that Lucas liked Maya more than Riley but it turns out he loves the both equally and cannnot choose between the two, and because of that I find it harder to write about Lucas' jealousy. :/ And again, with the 'expectation vs reality' writing that I mentioned before. My writing just not good like the other awesome fan-fiction writers. Whyyy... ;-; P/S: If you ask me whether I ship Rucas or Lucaya, its actually... complicated for me to answer that now ^~^. Also, hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
At the hospital.
"Ding!" the sound of the elevator goes after the six of them reached the floor the wanted to be. Maya was the first to went out from the elevator. She feels like she needed to hurry for some reason. Then she spotted a nurse.
"Excuse me, do you know where is Joshua Matthews' Room?" asked Maya politely, although she knows she needed to hurry.
"Joshua... I've just checked on him. He's in room 203." said the nurse while pointing at a room with the number 203 at the back.
"Wait. Why did you asked her? We already checked that his room number was 203 when we're at the ground floor." asked Cory while walking to Josh's room, followed by the other five.
"I kinda forgot. Now let's just visit him." said Maya. She wanted to visit Josh but suddenly she felt nervous.
After they reached at the room with the number 203 on it, he then knocked at door to the room. "Who's there?" a voice came out from the room. "Your very cool brother came to visit you." answered Cory. "Cool? You mean Eric?" Everyone chuckled a bit. "Oh come on. You know me." Cory opened the door and saw Josh layed on the hospital bed.
"Ma brotha..!"
Josh smiled,"Hey. Ma brotha."
Maya was shocked to see Josh. What came through her mind was "Cast… bandages… they're everywhere..."
There were some bandage and cast all over Josh. There were bandages wrapped around his forehead and also one that was taped on his cheek. There were also casts on his right hand, his left elbow... and most of all, his leg that was hanged onto something (I forgot what's it called). "Oo… are you alright?" asked Cory, looking at his injured brother. "Yup, with you looking at me like this, I am ALL RIGHT." said Josh with an angry tone while smiling at his brother.
Josh realized that Topanga with Riley and her friends also came to visit him as the five walked into the room. He looked at Maya first. Maya noticed it and looked onto the ground.
Topanga walked to Josh and handed a present to him. It was a medium sized box full of Oreos with a 'get well soon' card on it. "Here. Cory and I bought it for you before coming here."
"Thanks."
Maya whispered to herself, "Aw man why didn't l think of buying presents to Josh before coming here?"
"It's nice to see you guys visit me here." said Josh happily. "It sure is. So, how did it end up like this?" asked Cory. "You know, a motorcycle accident. The doctor said that I have some bones that are broken but it's all gonna be alright. I hope…" "Oh really?" Josh and Cory then talked for a while.
While the two talked Riley looked at Maya and asked, "Aren't you gonna talk to Uncle Josh?"
"I don't know." Maya answered. After a while talking Cory looked at his watch. "Oh, it's 5.30 already. I have to pick up Auggie from his soccer practice. Today he finished soccer practice kinda late." said Cory.
Topanga glanced over Maya and then looked at Cory. "Oh Cory, I'll go pick up Auggie with you." she said. "Oh okay." said Cory. Then she walked towards Maya and put her hand on Maya's shoulder. "Okay Maya why don't you, go talk to Josh. Don't be afraid, just be yourself, okay?"
"I... I..." Maya felt nervous after hearing what Topanga said. Topanga then walked out of the room, following Cory from his behind.
Riley, Lucas and Farkle just stared at the atmosphere quietly, having no words to come out of their mouths. Lucas seemed uncomfortable looking at the atmosphere. The room became quite for a while until Maya spoke up.
"Hi."
"Hey. You also came to visit me?"
"Yeah. What else would I do coming here? Having some kind of romantic dinner?"
Riley looked at Maya and felt relieved that Maya was back to her normal self. But, why did she say something about having a romantic dinner?
Josh smiled and chuckled and Maya smiled back, looking at him without feeling nervous anymore.
Suddenly one of the quiet guys spoke up, "Okay. I think it's kinda late. I have to go... do something. You two keep talking, alright?"
"You wanna go now, Huckleberry? I mean, it's not that late."
"Uh I have to go too. Me and Lucas have... something very important to do so, yeah, bye." said Farkle while wrapping his arm around Lucas and walked out of Josh's room.
"Hey, what's wrong? You've been frowning ever since Maya's trying to talk to Josh." asked Farkle while exiting the hospital with Lucas.
"I don't like it. I do not know what it is but I don't like it."
"Oh, you mean the two of them together? You do remember that Maya liked Josh, right?"
"Yea. I don't know why, but I have this... unpleasant feeling about them."
"You like Maya. You probably like her, more than Riley. I think you're jealous of the two of them together. Am I right..? Or not?"
"No. I mean, I don't know."
"What? Or is it because you didn't like the fact that you were the lucky guy who has two girls that liked you but then the other girl fell for another guy? You didn't like having less 'fans'?"
"No. I... don't know."
Meanwhile, at Josh' s room.
"Hmm I think I have to head back home now. You guys just... continue talking, okay?" Riley then excuses herself and went outside Josh's room. She then spotted Lucas and Farkle walking towards an elevator together. She thought she could go home together with them, so she ran towards them. Since they both were far away from Riley, they both couldn't hear Riley's footsteps.
After Lucas and Farkle reached the elevator, Farkle asked, "So, are you gonna tell Riley about your problem?"
"No... I... don't know..." said Lucas while his hand was pressing the "down" button at the elevator while his other hand was putted on his head. He then scratched his head, although his head doesn't feel itchy at all.
"Waiiiitttt! We can go together! Wait for me!" shouted Riley at the both of them while running. Lucas and Farkle was surprised from Riley's shouting. "What're you guys talking about just now?" Riley asked. "It's... nothing. Now let's just go." said Lucas. Riley glanced over Lucas oddly as the three walked into the elevator.
"So, there are only the two of us now." said Josh, still lying on his bed. "Uh... I think you should head home too."
"No!" said Maya. She, for some reason she didn't want to leave Josh alone. Josh was surprised to hear what Maya just said. "Sorry... I just..." she then sighed. "Oh, it's okay. I don't mind you staying here." said Josh.
"I wanna know, how did you get injured like this? You fell off the cliff because you ride your motorcycle so fast or something?" asked Maya, feeling so worried for Josh. Josh laughed, and said, "If I fell off the cliff, you think I'd still be here?"
"How then? I wanna know."
"Well, it's a very, long story."
"I don't... I don't care. Just tell me everything about your accident, I am willing to hear it."
Oh my word, this story ain't good as I expected. What do you call the thing that you use to hang your casted foot again? Sigh, I… don't have much experience in a hospital. That's why it was hard to write the hospital scene. *cries on the floor* and my vocab wasn't so good but I am improving bit by bit. I'll probably use more abstract words for further chapters.
Oh yeah, I also realized that a better name for the story title was 'Heartbreaking Accident' but I'm kinda lazy to change the title, especially the title on the cover. But when I used grammar checker for my title it says there's no grammar mistakes for it so… it's alright to continue using it, right? *high fives myself for no reason*
I wrote this on my phone because I was at a hotel. My writing was probably wasn't that good because typing many words on the phone is not my thing. But, I believe that chapter 3 will be better than this!
