I DO NOT own Girl Meets World!

A/N: Okayy, this is a very long chapter. I wasn't planning on making a second part to my take on Girl Meets Texas, but I felt I needed to add some more information to the situation before I carried on with girl meets forgiveness. I tired to break the sections up as much as possible so it doesn't feel as if you're reading forever. Thanks for the two reviews I received on my first chapter! I am new to this and hope this story will turn out well! I have lots of ideas and they will definitely begin in Girl Meets Forgiveness (which I promise won't drag on like this chapter did)!.

Riley had gotten up to go over to look through the music at the Juke Box and Lucas had asked Maya if they could talk. The went outside for some privacy. He was telling her how he realized he felt the same about her. He went to grab her hand and intertwine their fingers but she pulled away and looked away. He tried to apologize, but it didn't work so well.

"What can I say Maya? Please just tell me." Lucas pleaded.

Maya just shook her head with glossy teared up eyes.

"Maya I said I was sorry… I don't understand why you're upset with me."

"It's not that I'm upset with you Lucas, it's that even though Riley says she doesn't like you I know she does. I can see it. She's my best friend and I won't hurt her… I can't hurt her."

"She said it's okayy Maya, she said we can have our chance."

"She didn't mean it!" Maya said getting a little worked up. "I know she didn't."

"Maya-"

"No Lucas. I like you, you know that, everyone knows that- now, but I know Riley and what she says aloud isn't what she feels inside. I can't hurt her because I will lose her. Maybe our time will come, but it isn't now." Maya said getting up and walking away from Lucas.

"Maya…" Lucas shouted after her. Before he knew it she was out of sight.

Walking back to the group.

"Didn't go well I presume?" Zay said as Lucas approached them at the table.

"I don't get it. She says she likes me but turns me down. What am I missing?"

"Well what did she say?" Zay asked.

"She said what Riley is saying to us isn't what she is truly feeling."

"She's right." Farkle said coming over to sit with them.

Lucas and Zay looked at him confused.

"We all know that Riley doesn't like you romantically, and she is slowly discovering that, but since we figured out she only liked you because you were the first boy she met with her newly founded freedom, we also need to take into factor that she did like you… still does. She is hurting from what Maya kept from her which is causing her to go back and see all the signs that she never liked you that way. I think as of right now Riley still likes you and thinks if she can just throw Maya at you she can get over this feeling of betrayal faster, but she's hurting."

"So Maya said no because she doesn't want to lose her friendship with Riley?"

"Correct my friend. Maya is scared of change because of how little she has had in her life and being with you will change the way she and Riley are friends."

Riley comes back into the scene now from the Jukebox.

"What are we talking about?" she says interrupting the conversation.

"We were just wondering where Maya is…?" Zay immediately said.

"She's not here?" Riley asked a little concerned.

"Haven't seen her for a while now." Farkle said.

"Huh… I'll text her." Riley said sitting down.

Jump to where Maya is.

Maya was sitting on a bench under a tree watching people go back and forth from a camp fire. She was just sitting and thinking about everything that has happened while looking at an amazing view. The sky was completely clear and full of stars. That's not something she can see in New York. There are too many buildings and too many lights to even notice the night sky.

Maya was snapped out of her thoughts when someone came up behind her.

"You okayy?" a voice said.

"Hmm? Oh yea. Just taking in this amazing view."

"You're not from here are you?" the guy said.

"Not even close. New York is my home." Maya said with a small smile.

"Well I bet you don't get to see this much nature in the big apple do ya?" he asked sitting on the bench next to her.

"Not at all. This is amazing. It' truly beautiful." Maya smiled.

"It really is." The guy also smiled. "Oh, where are my manners. My name is Bryce." He said holding out his hand.

His accent was very thick. You could definitely tell that he was a cowboy.

"Maya." she said grabbing his hand and smiling at him.

"Well miss Maya, it's very nice to meet you."

"Like wise." Maya smiled.

"So tell me miss Maya, what's the big city like?"

"What?" Maya said astounded looking directly at him. "You've got this amazing view and town right here and you're curious about New York City?"

"I've never been any where else but here. I like to hear about other places. I hope to tour the world someday."

Maya just looked at him very shocked, but in a good way. She laughed and just shook her head smiling.

"Okayy, well what do you want to know?"

"What's it like?"

"Well… it's definitely nothing like this." Maya began. She could just go on and on about her home, I mean after all it was her home at she loves it.

Back inside.

"Guys Maya hasn't texted me back… I'm worried." Riley said interrupting the conversation.

"I'm sure she's fine Riles." Farkle said.

"Yea, Maya is a big girl. She can take care of herself." Lucas said trying to reassure Riley.

"It's not Maya I'm worried about directly though. It's what she can do or get herself into."

"What do you mean?" Zay interjected.

"You guys don't know Maya like I do. Just her being alone can send her right back into Mayhem Maya, especially with what's happening right now." Riley explained.

Lucas just looked at her.

"So what are you saying?" Farkle asked. "Maya hasn't gone back to her old self in so long Riley, I don't think an hour alone will kill her."

"Farkle, were in a strange place, anything could set Maya off."

Lucas and Zay just looked so confused.

Riley just shook her head.

"I'm going to go look for her." Riley said getting up.

"Riley you can't just wander off." Lucas said standing up to stop her.

"Why not? You let Maya wander off." She shot back.

"Riley!" Farkle exclaimed.

"Look, I'm sorry but she's my best friend and something just doesn't feel right." Riley said looking Lucas in the eyes with complete worry in them.

"Alright fine. We'll all go look for her." He said.

They all got up and went outside.

"Where do we start?" Zay asked as they got outside.

"Maybe we should split up… We could cover more ground that way." Lucas said.

"Good idea. Keep your phones on you so we can all keep in contact. This place is strange to Riley and I as well." Farkle said.

"Okayy, Zay & I will go this way and you & Riley go that way. We'll text you if we find her." Lucas said before he and Zay walked off.

"I'm worried Farkle." Riley said looking at him.

"We'll find her Riles." He reassured her and they walked in the other direction.

Back with Maya and Bryce.

"It sounds amazing." Bryce said in between Maya's descriptions causing her to stop and take a breath.

Maya giggled. "It is amazing."

Bryce just smiled at her.

"What?" Maya asked looking at him.

"You have a beautiful smile miss Maya." he said with his heavy accent.

"Well thank you Mr. Bryce." she said trying not to blush.

"So if you don't mind me asking, what are you doing here in little ole Austin, Texas when you could be in the big apple?"

"Well actually I was here with my friends. We came down for the Mutton Busting competition to support our friend who was riding in it."

"Ahh, I see." Bryce said. "Well did you enjoy it?"

"Well actually I didn't watch it. I was all for the competition at first, but when I actually saw a bull for the first time a few days ago I changed my POV and was completely against the whole thing."

"What? Why?" Bryce asked confused.

"Well correct me if I'm wrong, but have you seen a bull before?" Maya asked sarcastically.

Bryce just laughed.

"I'm serious. Anyone could get seriously hurt on one of those things!" Maya exclaimed.

Bruce was still trying to hold in his laughter.

"What are you laughing for?" Maya smiled

"We Texan's are usually professionals miss Maya. I'm sure we know how to hold our own in our home nature."

"Well as of this trip I completely disagree with bull riding for anyone." Maya explained.

They both just fell silent for a moment. You could just feel the tension in the air.

"So." Maya said.

"So." Bryce said. "I never asked why you're out here all by yourself if you're here with you friends."

"Oh… that." Maya said looking down.

"Sorry, not meaning to push."

"No no, it's fine." Maya reassured him. "Well it's just that, my best friend discovered that I happen to like the same guy she likes and felt the need to tell him in front of our whole group last night."

"Ohh." Bryce said.

"Yea… It was pretty embarrassing for me."

"So he didn't return the feelings?" Bryce asked.

"See that's the thing. He told me earlier that he does."

"Then I don't see the problem." Bryce said confused.

Maya just giggled.

"See Riley says that she doesn't like him anymore, but I can tell by the way she is acting and speaking that she does. I've known her forever and I know that she is lying to me."

"And you don't want to hurt her, otherwise you'll lose her." Bryce interjected.

"Exactly! I'm glad someone gets that."

"This guy didn't understand that?" Bryce said confused.

"No he didn't." Maya said looking down.

"Well then he's just an idiot." Bryce said causing Maya to look up.

Maya smiled a little. "No he isn't. He's just too caught up in this whole mess to know what's even going on."

"Well you know what Miss Maya."

"What Mr. Bruce?" Maya asked looking at him.

"Any guy that cannot understand that your best friend comes first before anything doesn't deserve you or any feelings you may have for him."

This just cause Maya to smile bigger than before. She was trying not to blush.

Back with Lucas and Zay.

"So basically she said yes, but she said no?" Zay said confused.

"Yea. She said she likes me but we can't be together right now because of Riley. She said our time will come, but wouldn't our time be now?" Lucas said.

"I don't know man. Girls are confusing." Zay said shaking his head.

"You got that right."

The two were walking towards no where because they had no idea where to look for Maya.

"Maybe we should try the midnight madness fire."

"I don't think Maya would go there. Too many people."

"But maybe she would. Think about it. Too many people would say Maya is as far away from it as possible, but if she is trying to fly under the radar from us it'd be the prefect place for her to go." Zay said.

"Maybe you're right."

"Am I ever wrong?" Zay said sarcastically.

"Come on." Lucas said walking towards the camp fire.

Zay ran to catch up with Lucas.

"You know what I don't get?" Zay said catching up to him.

"What?" Lucas said.

"Why do all the ladies pine after you?"

"What?" Lucas said confused.

"I'm forreal. All the girls go after you, yet I'm right here and just as single and good looking, if not better!" Zay exclaimed.

Lucas just looked at him.

"Okayy maybe not better but I'm definitely just as good looking as you."

Lucas and Zay just laughed.

"Hey hey, wait a sec." Zay said stopping Lucas.

"What?" Lucas said looking at him.

"Isn't that Maya over there?" Zay said pointing away from the camp fire.

Lucas looked over. "Yea it is…"

"Who's she with?" Zay said confused.

They just stood there for a second until they saw Maya laugh at something the guy said as he looked at her.

Lucas face went straight from confusion to anger.

"Oh boy." Zay said.

"Hell no." Lucas said as he started to walk towards them.

"Okayy Lucas, calm down. She doesn't even know who he is, or what happened between you and him."

Lucas didn't say anything.

"Just don't do anything rash man. He probably doesn't even know who she is."

Lucas still didn't say anything, he just kept walking.

"Oh boy." Zay said again hoping Lucas won't do anything rash.

Lucas just heard Maya laugh at something Bryce said and that just set him off.

"Maya!" he said approaching them.

"Hop-along." She said looking up confused and shocked.

"What the hell? We've been looking for you everywhere.!" He was almost yelling.

"Hey don't yell at her." Bryce chimed in.

"Don't speak to me Bryce." Lucas said gritting his teeth.

Maya looked confused for a second before chiming in. "Ranger Rick I'm fine."

"What the hell are you doing with him? Did he do anything to you?"

"What? No. We were just talking." Maya said very confused.

"Come on Maya, let's go. Riley is freaking out because you won't answer your phone."

"I don't have it with me."

"Well let' go so she can relax some." Lucas said grabbing her arm.

"No!" Maya exclaimed.

Lucas just looked at her.

"Bryce and I were having a nice conversation until you interrupted it-"

"Yeah right." Lucas said cutting her off. "Bryce couldn't even have a nice conversation if he tried."

Maya was very confused.

"Excuse me?" Bryce said.

"What's your problem Sundance?" Maya said angrily.

"Sundance?" Bryce said laughing.

"Step off." Lucas said getting really angry.

"Hey man, if the lady doesn't wanna leave then you should be the one backing off."

"This has nothing to do with you." Lucas said now angry.

"Calm down Ranger Rick." Maya said stepping in.

"Yeah Ranger Rick, Calm Down." Bryce said mocking Lucas.

"Don't mess with me man. You know what happened last time you did."

"Is that a threat?" Bryce said sarcastically.

"Yeah, it is." Lucas said getting closer to Bryce's face.

Maya looked over at Zay very concerned and confused.

"Lucas man, calm down." Zay said.

Lucas didn't say anything, he was preparing to fight.

"What's going on?" Maya said to Zay.

"I'd like to introduce you to Texas Lucas Maya."

"What?!" Maya said sacred.

"This is going to be interesting…" Zay said backing away.

"Okayy Sundance" Bryce mocked Lucas. "Bring it on."

"NO!" Maya yelled as she got in between them.

"Get away Maya." Lucas said threw his teeth ready to beat down on Bryce.

"Don't do this heehaw. He isn't worth it." Maya said looking at him but Lucas just looked at Bruce.

"Yeah heehaw, you might just loose this time." Bryce was still mocking Lucas.

Lucas was just getting angrier and angrier bye the second.

"You might want to control your boyfriend Miss Maya before he gets a beat down." Bryce said now looking at Maya.

"Hey step off Bryce."

"So what? You like me one minute but not the next? Oh I get it, this is the guy you like that your friend also likes."

"So?" Maya said looking at him.

"So now I know he truly is an idiot." Bruce said laughing.

"He's not an idiot!" Maya yelled at him.

"Well you're both just idiots then." Bryce said all smirky.

"Oh no." Zay said in the background pulling Maya out of the way.

Lucas had lost it at this point. He went at Bryce punching him in the face.

"Lucas no!" Maya yelled scared.

Lucas was so angry at this point that Maya had just officially met Texas Lucas.

"Lucas stop!" Maya yelled at him. Lucas and Bryce were just going back and forth.

In one second Lucas was "wining" but in the next Bryce had knocked him to the ground.

"Bryce stop it!" Maya yelled trying to hold his arm from punching Lucas in the face, but Bryce just pushed Maya back and she fell to the ground… hard.

It was all over at the point. Next thing you knew Lucas had Bryce pinned to the ground and was ready to fully give it to him when he heard Maya whimper in pain. In the second he stopped and looked up to see Zay crouching next to her on the ground. He then realized what he had done and instantly got away from Bryce and went straight to Maya.

"Maya." he said ashamed of himself.

"My wrist." she managed to say through her tears. "I fell on my wrist. I can't feel it." she looked at him crying. (HER RIGHT WRIST)

Jump to Farkle and Riley.

**BUZZ**

Farkle's phone began to ring.

"Unknown." he said before answering it.

"Farkle, it's Zay."

"It's Zay" Farkle said to Riley.

"Did they find Maya?!" She asked nervously.

"Did you guys find Maya?" Farkle asked Zay.

"Yea we did."

"Yes they found her."

"Oh good." Riley said relieved.

"We found her but she was in a bad situation." Zay said to Farkle.

"What do you mean?" Farkle replied.

Riley expression changed from relieved to worried again.

"She was with another guy who Lucas doesn't exactly get along with. Long story short they fought and Maya got hurt."

Farkle just looked at Riley worried causing her to start freaking out inside.

"Where are you guys?"

"Were at the local hospital. We brought Maya to the emergency room."

"Okayy, Riley and I are on our way." Farkle said hanging up the phone.

"We have to go." Farkle said to Riley and started to walk away.

"Where are they? What happened?" she said coming up behind Farkle.

He didn't say anything.

"Farkle." Riley said grabbing his arm stopping him.

"I don't know the whole story Riles. I don't want to say anything wrong that will make you worry."

"Will you at least tell me where we are going?"

Farkle took deep breath and started to walk again so he didn't have to look Riley in the eyes. "The hospital."

Jump to Hospital.

The room was just silent. The doctors had given Maya a pain killer to help her relax while they waited for her x-rays to return. She was a little groggy and a bit woozy.

Lucas was upset with himself. How could he have let this happen. The one person he didn't want to hurt he did. He didn't directly hurt her but he still did in a way.

Maya was just sitting there giggling. She was playing with the bed controls making her self go up and down repeatedly.

Zay was laughing with her as well.

Lucas just looked at him.

"What?" Zay laughed. "This is hilarious!"

"Dude."

"What? You can't tell me that this isn't funny."

"Okayy, maybe just a little." Lucas said cracking a small smile.

"Look!" Maya said as she stood on the bed. "I'm finally taller than all of you!" she laughed

Zay was cracking up at this point.

"Maya would you sit down, your gonna hurt yourself." Lucas said getting up to help her carefully sit down.

"You're no fun. FUN KILLER!" She giggled.

Zay was dead now.

"Zay! You're just enabling her." Lucas said looking at him.

"I'm sorry man but this is funny as hell!"

"OOO. You said a bad word!" Maya exclaimed.

Lucas couldn't help but smile. Maya was adorable.

"Maya would you please sit down?" Lucas asked politely smiling at her.

"Fine." she giggled and sat down.

The doctor just came back into the room at this point.

"Having fun are we?" he joked.

"The Best!" Maya answered.

Lucas smiled and Zay continued to laugh at her.

"Well I have the results of your x-rays if you'd like to see them."

"Of course doctor." Lucas said.

He put the images up on the light board.

"Well Ms. Hart's wrist is fractured right here." he said pointing to a small area. "Nothing to serous, all she will need is a brace which we will provide."

Lucas had changed his mood from laughter to serious. He was so angry with himself.

A nurse walked in with a brace and a packet of information.

"Here is the brace she will need to wear. The best way for her wrist to heal properly would be for her to wear it as much as possible, only to remove it for when she bathes and such. This packet explains it all."

The nurse went over and put the wrist on Maya's hand. It was a struggle because Maya was everywhere else but she managed to get it on.

"Thank you doctor." Lucas said as he walked out.

"The paperwork has been filed and you all are free to go." the nurse told them.

"Thank you again." Lucas said.

Lucas looked back at Maya to see her dumb foundedly looking at her the brace on her wrist as if she's never seen anything like it before.

Zay was literally dying of laughter because of it.

"Zay, pull yourself together man." Lucas said to him.

"Okayy Maya, we can go home now." Lucas said walking over to her.

"YAYY!" She shouted standing back up on the bed.

Lucas just smiled.

"Here, I'll help you down." He said helping her off the bed.

She went to take one step and lost her balance.

"Whoops." She giggled as Lucas caught her before she could completely fall.

Lucas laughed with her. He was happy he finally had his girl in his arms, but not the way he wanted to. Yes this was nice getting to care for her, but it's not the way he imagined.

Lucas ended up having to carry Maya out of the hospital. They had walked there so they had to also walk home.

As they got outside Lucas set Maya down and Riley and Farkle ran up.

"Maya!" Riley said running up and giving her a hug. "Peaches are you okayy?!"

"Hehe, you called me Peaches!" Maya giggled.

Riley Looked at Lucas and Zay confused.

"She's on a pain killer for her wrist. They said it's fractured in one small place and that the brace will help it heal properly."

"Ohh." Riley said looking back to Maya.

"Well I am so glad you are okayy Maya!" Riley hugged her again.

Maya went to try and walk again, only to fail and fall to be caught by Riley.

"I think we should get her back to Pappy Joes before she hurts anything else." Riley said looking at Lucas.

"Good idea." he said.

"Alright Maya, time to go home now." Lucas said before picking her up bridal style.

"WEEE!" She exclaimed as he picked her up.

Zay and Farkle couldn't help but laugh because Maya was very amusing. Lucas smiled at her.

Riley on the other hand was happy that Maya was okayy but a little jealous that she was getting all of Lucas's attention.

Maya's pain killer eventually tired her out to where she fell asleep in Lucas's arms on the walk home. As soon as they got to Pappy Joes he took her straight to the guest room and put her in the bed leaving her to Riley for the rest of her needs.

The next day was hard for Maya. She woke up with a really bad head ache and her wrist was hurting. It was also the day the group was going back to New York.

"Morning Sunshine!" Riley exclaimed as she opened the curtains to the window.

"Ugh. Turn the sun off." Maya said groggily as she put a pillow over her face.

"You have to get up Maya, were going home today." Riley said removing the pillow.

"How's your wrist?"

"Hurts." Maya said sitting up.

"I bet. The doctor said it's fractured in one place. He said to wear the brace as much as possible and to only take it off when you shower and such. He also prescribed you these to help with the pain."

"Oh good. I need one!" Maya said grabbing the bottle, opening it, and taking one.

"Wait Maya!" Riley tried to stop her.

"What?" Maya said confused.

"He said you could only take one every 12 hours."

"So?"

"So you took one now which means you won't be able to take one once were on the train to help you sleep."

"Oh, now you tell me!" Maya exclaimed angrily.

"I already packed you're bag so all you have to do is get dressed and eat breakfast!"

"I don't wanna."

"You have too. The doc said you shouldn't take the medicine on an empty stomach."

"Do you hate me or something?" Maya joked.

Riley just smiled. "Nope, I love you peaches! Now come out so you can eat."

"Maya walked out of the room and wen to sit at the table."

Everyone was staring at her.

"What?" she said as she sat down.

Zay couldn't help but smile at her. Lucas nudged him in the arm. Zay gave him a death glare.

"Your pajama's." Farkle said.

Maya looked at what she was wearing.

She had on a semi short tank top and booty shorts.

"Grow up." Maya said looking at the 3 of them.

"How's your wrist Maya?" Farkle asked.

"It hurts." she said annoyed.

"She just took a pain killer so there's some time before it kicks in." Riley chimed in.

They all just sat in silence eating their breakfast.

After they finished eating they all cleared the table and Maya went to change. Lucas couldn't help but smile at her. Maya didn't return the smile.

"We better get going. The train leaves at 10:05am." Riley said.

The group said their goodbyes to Pappy Joe and went outside leaving him and Lucas alone for a minute.

"You made me real proud this weekend boy." Pappy Joe said.

"Thank you Pappy Joe."

"Hop-along lets go! Were not getting any younger!" Maya yelled from outside.

Lucas couldn't help but smile.

"'Listen boy, I don't know what you have between the two of them, but from what I can see blondie is the one for you."

"Maya." Lucas corrected him.

"Well that there Maya likes you whether she admits to it or not. Don't just let this chance go by."

"Thank you Pappy Joe, for everything."

Lucas then walked out and they all headed for the train.

They got their tickets and all took their seats; Maya with Riley a few rows in front of the boys.

At one point during the trip Maya had put her headphones into block out the world around her. She just wanted to think. She didn't notice but Riley had gotten up to use the restroom (she thinks) and Lucas had taken Riley's seat.

"Ahem." he said getting Maya's attention.

She just looked over at him. They didn't say anything. Maya took out one ear bud and handed it to him. He gladly took it and they just listened to her music.

Eventually Maya has shifted from leaning against the window to leaning on Lucas for comfort. He had moved his arm so it was around her, giving her more room to get comfortable. She couldn't see it, but he was smiling… she was too. They eventually fell asleep like that. It was going to be a long ride.
