A/N I got this one out pretty fast! Actually the next one (Stardust16's request) should be out tomorrow or the next day :) so I'm pretty proud lol. Also, the whole story is set in tenth grade, probably should have mentioned that in the first chapter. And keep sending prompts! I need some ideas!

The ride to the hospital was silent.

Once in awhile one of the two would look at each other but they never said anything.

A hospital wasn't far away, but it was sketchy, so they told the ambulance to take her to the better one a few miles down.

Zay, though he was deeply concerned for his friend, couldn't help but wonder who would pay for the trip. Of course if he had the money he would gladly pay, but being sixteen he didn't really have any money. He had about fifty bucks from pet sitting a weird lady's rock, which was a very interesting experience, but that was it.

As the pulled into the parking lot he decided to focus on that fact later, because he knew their friend would be out soon.

Hushed mourners filled the halls as Zay and Lucas took a seat in the waiting room.

Lucas looked around, the bare white walls seemed dead and lifeless.

"Maya would want to paint something on them." Zay chuckled, looking at his friend.

Lucas knew she would. One time when he had been over to her house she had to get something from her room and he followed.

And despite the cluttered state of the room he could clearly see the once white walls were painted with millions of murals and pictures.

And in one corner he swore he saw a tiny bull with a rider on it.

"Yeah." He sighed many minutes later. He looked at his hands.

He stared at the clock, ticking away the seconds. He remembered when he was on the bull. Everyone always told him the longest ten seconds of his life would be when he was on the bull. But right now seemed like eternity.

He looked at the floor.

"Stop doing that! Say something!" His frustrated friend shouted.

"Shhhh!" Everyone in the room looked angrily at the teen and one woman hugged her child.

"Oops. Sorry." Zay apologized sheepishly and his friend chuckled.

"You know she's okay right? This has happened before." He said in a more hushed voice. He wasn't afraid of much, but he didn't want to mess with angry sad people.

"When?"

"Uh..."

Zay stopped. He didn't want to admit to him that Maya's hospital visit was caused by him. Lucas would be so mad at himself.

Luckily, a nurse came out with their blonde friend just then.

Maya's hand was on her head and she groaned. For some reason her head always was pounding after an asthma attack.

The nurse, Nurse Lilah to be exact, waved the excited boys over.

They both came bounding over and hugged Maya who winced.

"She's kinda drowsy. We had to give her an inhaler that had nitrous oxide, laughing gas. Is there an adult here that I could talk too?"

Nurse Lilah asked the two.

"I hate dogs!" Maya muttered and they all laughed.

"I called Topanga in the car, she's on her way. Maya's mom is on her delayed honeymoon with her husband. I can't really explain who Topanga is right now but she'll be here soon."

Lucas informed the nurse. She nodded and smiled.

"Of course. And who might you be? Maya's boyfriend?"

"Yup." Zay smirked.

"What?! No! Zay I've explain this so many times. And you really need to stop telling people we're together."

The tired nurse chuckled and told them they all could wait in a patient room while they waited for Topanga to arrive.

"Just press this button if you need a doctor. I'll tell you when Mrs. Matthews is here." She closed the door and left the three to themselves.

"My head hurts."

"I know. You passed out." Lucas told the girl.

"Hey! You look like my friend Huckleberry!" Maya exclaimed.

"Wow. She's really out of it." Zay laughed and went to sit by Maya, who was in one of the chairs. Lucas was sitting on the patient bed.

"Your hot." The blue eyed teen told Lucas in her dazed state.

The other teens in the room laughed, and Zay frowned when his phone said there wasn't any storage left to record Maya.

"I am Lucas."

"Ooooh! Well don't tell him I called him hot okay?" Maya slurred. He head falling to her hand which was resting on the arm of the chair.

"Okay." Lucas promised, smiling with amusement.

"Where is Farkle?"

"Probably doing what he loves most, making out with Smackle."

Zay answered his female friends question sarcastically.

"But Riley likes Farkle!" She shouted and frowned, suddenly sad for her best friend.

The former Texans looked quizzically at each other and shrugged.

"She's heavily drugged. She called you hot. She has no idea what she's saying." Zay reminded his ! best friend.

"She does! She told me!" Maya demanded. She quickly forgot about the subject when the curly haired boys phone dinged with a text.

"Ms. Matthews is here, she said we can come out to the waiting room now."

"Come on Maya, we're gonna go home now. Well actually your probably going to go to Riley's but Topanga is waiting." Lucas said after Zay left to talk to their brunette friends mom.

"Carry me. I'm to tired."

"Ugh. Alright."

He scooped her up bridal style and carried her to the waiting room. Her small body fit perfectly

in his. Vanilla smelling golden curls spilled down his arms like a water fall and the girl closed her eyes.

Zay shook his head at the sight and snapped a picture. He has spent some time freeing up space because he knew he would need it. And it looks like he was right.

"We're all set to go. You both can stay overnight if you want. It's almost one. Riley's already asleep and I told Corey to set up the living room." Topanga said. She smiled. She was glad her daughters had grown up with such good boys.

"Thanks."

"This is so weird."

They said in unison. Topanga laughed.

Zay went out first with Topanga and Lucas put Maya down.

She combed her hair through with her fingers and Lucas told her they were sleeping at Riley's. She nodded and started heading for the door.

"I'm glad your okay Maya. I know you won't remember this tomorrow and you'll probably be mad at us for following you, but I'm really glad your okay. Because I really like you. Like, really like you. A lot."

She stopped in her tracks and looked back at the blushing cowboy.

"I like blue too. Are we painting at Riley's?"
