I do not own Girl Meets World or anything else you may recognise.
I'm really sorry for the late update guys, I was waiting for my new laptop to arrive. I hope you enjoy this chapter x
Maya's POV:
I'm drowning in loneliness. The shadow surrounds me, engulfing me in its coldness.
It tells me that I'm alone, that no one ever has or ever will love me.
It knows my biggest fear.
The shadowy figure begins to change, the faint outline of it morphing into flesh. It grows long brown hair, and piercing green eyes.
In simple words, it's beautiful.
Its face is hazy, so I can't see a clear image of it, but I already know who it is.
Saffron.
The low voice of the shadow becomes higher in pitch, suiting its new form.
Again and again she tells me that I am alone, that no one cares. And I believe her. I feel myself slipping into her curse as I allow her to take full control of me. All until he appears.
Only his blue eyes are clear to me, the rest of his features in the same haze as Saffron. They begin to fight, but I know he's winning when I can feel myself being released from the curse. With one last moment she's gone, and I know that I'm completely free.
All feelings of self hate and loneliness have vanished, because I know he loves me.
The perfect stranger, who saved me loves me. I can feel it.
Still his eyes are the only element of his face clear to me, but I know that he's beautiful. His eyes are a reminder of the ocean, and I instantly recognise who it is.
Josh.
He doesn't have to say anything because all his emotions are held in his eyes. He cups my cheek, closing his eyes as he begins to lean in. Our lips are barely a millimetre apart, but all too soon my body begins to fade. I scream and shout but along with the rest of my body, my voice fades too.
I begin to cry, knowing that the kiss would have completed my healing. As the last of me fades, Josh speaks.
"I will be back sunshine, I promise"
I wake up in a cold sweat. My breathing is heavy and erratic, clearly from panic. I thought it was real, everything seemed like it. His touch, his voice, his eyes, I remember them all too clearly.
Sunshine. Why would he call me that? If anything I'm more like a storm waiting to happen.
I clear my thoughts, trying to do my best to forget all about my nightmare, as well as trying to forget about Josh.
It's today; it's this hour at this exact minute. Josh and I are going to tour the city together. I should be excited but all I can feel is deep regret. I'm still a little shaken about last's night's dream (more like a nightmare) and I'm nervous as hell for today.
What's even worse is now I'm starting to regret my choice of clothing. I literally through on some black jeans, an old maroon t-shirt and a leather jacket. My hair is even worse, my loose ponytail already slipping out of the bad. The only decent part of my outfit are my high heel boots. Where's Riley when you need her?
I pace the room, dreading the moment when the doorbell will ring. But of course it does, and I stand in fear for about a minute until I gain the courage the answer it.
One look at him, and I'm already weak at the knees. I instantly notice his vibrant blue eyes, which hold an excitement to them. His dark curls are soft and messy, I have to resist the urge to run my hand through them. His simple blue t-shirt and dark jeans somehow seem to look amazing on him, how could anyone be so perfect?
"Hi Maya" Great, he's spoken two words and I already fantasying about how he would look holding puppies (probably even cuter, if that's even remotely possible)
"Hey Josh" Hey? Now it seem like I'm trying to flirt with him! "Um, I mean hi?" great cover up, not!
He chuckles and I blush slightly, how am I going to last a whole day with this guy?
"So, should we go?" he asks, after I've been staring at him like some kind of creep.
"Uh, yes" real smooth Maya.
He takes me to his car, which has me laughing the moment I see it. It has to be the most run down, rusty truck I have ever seen.
"Sweet ride" I tease whilst laughing.
"Hey! Gracie has served me well" he defends
"Gracie? Seriously?" By now I'm crying with laughter, all traces of discomfort around Josh gone.
"Hey, everyone grows to love her." He says, whilst opening the passenger door for.
"Right, good luck getting me on that list"
He slides into is seat and starts Gracie. He turns on the radio and automatically the sound of classical music fills the small car.
Josh's face turns red, and I stifle a laugh, this is definitely not what I expected him to be into.
"Great taste Josh" I tease, bopping my head to the music, using my fingers to pretend to be a conductor.
"Gracie always does this, trust me I'd rather listen to a whale screaming than this"
"Sure, blame it on the car"
He simply rolls his eyes and turns the knob to change the radio station. My smile widens as I instantly recognise the song.
"There's something about the sunshine baby" I quietly sing along side the music.
"I'm seeing you in a whole new light" Josh joins in. I smile, happy that he knows the song.
"Out of this world for the first time baby, oh it's so right" We sing, laughing as we become totally out of sync with the music.
As if it was planned a stream of sunshine beams through the windows.
"The suns coming through, I never knew, whatever I do it's better with you"
We lock eyes as we sing this line, almost as if we meant every word.
I sure know I do.
Thanks for reading x
