I DO NOT OWN GIRL MEETS WORLD!
"Mom please!" Lucas explained walking after her.
"Lucas, I'm sorry, but no! It's not proper."
"But I love her and I don't want to be without her! If she leaves then she's breaking up with me!"
"She wouldn't do that honey."
"She already did!"
Things got silent.
Lucas's mom just looked at him.
"She told me last night. She thinks that she's holding me back if I wait for her."
"I'm sorry honey. I know how you feel about her but this is not something that is in my control."
"This is bullshit." Lucas said leaving the room.
He was angry. He couldn't lose Maya.
He made his way downstairs and out the front door. He walked right by Maya completely ignoring her.
"Huckleberry?"
Maya just watched him. He was making his way down to the sidewalk.
"Huckleberry?!"
He was just walking fast down the sidewalk as Maya trailed behind.
"Ranger Rick would you slow down?" Maya said trying to catch up to him.
Nothing Maya said was stopping him.
"Lucas!" she shouted making him stop.
"What?!" he said turning around furious.
"Would you just stop and talk to me?!"
"Why? You'll just turn me down again!"
"Lucas, what-"
"Just stop Maya, Just stop." Lucas yelled at her.
Maya backed down and just looked at him.
"Gosh Maya, you just don't get it do you?" he said just trying not to completely explode.
"Lucas could you please just calm down?" Maya said softly.
"That! That right there!"
"What?" Maya asked confused.
"You, you're being you." Lucas said.
"I'm being me? You want me to stop being me?" Maya smiled.
Maya's smiled caused him to laugh at what he said.
"Lucas what's wrong?" Maya said sitting down with him on a bench in a nearby park they ended up in.
"I just can't accept this Maya. I don't want you to leave. I can't let you leave."
"Lucas we don't get to control this one."
"But we can Maya." Lucas said.
"What?" Maya said looking shocked.
"My mom, she has a fosters license. I've been trying to get her to take you in full time."
"And is she?" Maya said shocked.
"She hasn't cracked."
Maya lost hope again.
"I don't get it either. She normally would jump at on opportunity like this."
"Then why-"
"I don't know." Lucas said. "She just keeps saying we are too close for this."
"Too close? Like she thinks we're-"
"I guess."
Maya looked away.
"We have to break up." Maya said quickly.
"What? Maya no-"
"Lucas we have to! If she thinks we're too close then we need to separate and maybe she'll finally say yes."
"But Maya-"
"But nothing! If this is what it takes then it needs to be done."
Lucas was silent.
Maya took a deep breath before actually saying the words.
"Lucas It's-"
"Maya please don't do this." he said grabbing her hands.
"I have to baby." she said
Lucas dropped her hands and looked away from her.
"Look at me." Maya said.
Lucas didn't.
Maya grabbed his face and pulled his to hers.
"I would rather be here with you as the best of friends than be anywhere else without you."
Lucas didn't waste a second to smash his lips into hers.
The kiss was intense and passionate. Lucas didn't want it to stop, but Maya pulled away.
With tears in her eyes she finally said it.
"It's over Lucas."
Maya looked away to hide her tears.
"I umm- I'll move my stuff out of your room tonight." Maya said a tear falling onto her cheek.
"Maya-" Lucas said heavily.
"I gotta go." she said getting up and walking away.
"Are you happy now?!" Lucas said walking into his home seeing his mother at the table reading.
"I'm sorry?"
"Maya broke up with me… forreal."
"Honey I-"
"Just don't mom." Lucas said starting to walk away.
"Just let me know if there's anything I can do." she said causing him to stop.
"Anything?" Lucas said.
"Yes, anything. You name it."
"I want Maya to stay."
"Luke we've talked about this."
"But things are different now." he pleaded.
"Luke."
"Mom please. Things are over. She ended them."
"I can't promise anything."
His face lit up.
"Don't do that. I didn't say yes."
"I have faith."
**Next day at school.
The group trickled into the lunchroom and found their way to the table one by one.
Something was wrong and Zay knew it as soon as Maya sat next to Missy and Leila.
Lunch was awkward. Maya and Lucas didn't talk much or even look at each other.
Lunch ended and they group went separate ways, but Zay didn't hesitate to hold Maya back.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her around the corner.
"Ow. What the hell Zay?"
"Spill."
"What?" Maya said angry that he pulled her away.
"You and Lucas. Spill." Maya dropped her angriness and just looked at him.
"There's nothing to talk about."
"That's a lie. I know somethings up."
"Nothings up!" Maya exclaimed.
"You didn't sit in between us at lunch."
Maya froze.
"We broke up."
"What?!"
"It had to be done."
"Maya you two are perfect for each other! You can't just break up! It'll shake the whole world!"
"Zay. I didn't do it because I don't love him. I did it because I do!"
"Okayy I am completely confused."
"He said his mom won't accept me as a foster child because we're too close. If we aren't together then she has no reason to say no."
"Oooh. I get it. You'd rather be together as friends then apart and nothing."
"Exactly." Maya said.
Zay gave her a hug.
"So how are you?"
Maya took a deep breath.
"I'm okayy."
Zay looked at her.
"Okayy okayy. I'm a little less than okayy."
"I'm sorry Maya."
"Me too." she said.
"So it's really over?" Mrs. Friar asked the two.
Lucas looked at Maya. Maya didn't move her focus from Mrs. Friar.
"Yes Ma'am. It is." Maya said.
Lucas hated it.
"Well in that case then I think it is safe to say that this is your new home Maya."
"What?" Maya said shocked but also pretending that she didn't have any idea as to what was going on.
"I have a fosters license and I have decided that it's not proper for you to leave the only home you've ever known."
"Are you serious?" Maya said excited.
Mrs. Friar nodded.
Maya was over joyed with excitement.
"There is a catch though." Mrs. Friar said.
"You two cannot be a thing. Nothing."
Maya glanced at Lucas who just looked angry and upset.
"We understand." Maya said.
"Welcome home Maya." Mrs. Friar said.
Maya smiled and gave her a hug.
"Yea. Welcome." Lucas said gruffly before leaving the room upset.
The two girls just watched him.
Maya looked back at Mrs. Friar. "May I?"
"Go."
Mrs. Friar knew this would be hard for the two of them, especially Lucas because Maya was basically his whole world. Mrs. Friar knew he was upset but there was reasoning behind all her motives. She didn't want Maya and Lucas to be apart, actually she was going to allow Maya to stay anyways since she got her license renewed, but when she found out they broke up she took advantage of the situation. She felt Lucas and Maya spent way to much time together, especially since when he was suspended he literally sat at home and stared at the clock. She took this time to set these rules so Lucas could get back to his life, well mainly his sports. Mrs. Friar loved Maya but she knew that Maya couldn't get him college scholarships and baseball would.
"Knock knock." Maya said as she approached Lucas's bedroom door.
He just looked at her.
"Can I come in?" Maya asked.
Lucas gave a slight nod.
"Look I know this is hard, but at least your mom is allowing me to stay now."
"Under crappy circumstances." Lucas said.
"I don't think they're crappy."
"What?"
"I think they're wonderful."
"Maya how could you-"
"Because I get to stay!" she exclaimed cutting him off.
Lucas went silent.
"Lucas, my room is right down the hall, it's not like we aren't gonna see each other."
"Not in the way I want."
"Lucas-"
"And I know you don't want it this way either!" he said getting up going towards her.
"Maya we belong together. This could ruin us."
"It will if we let it, but I don't want it to."
Maya sat in Lucas's window.
"We're gonna be the best of friends okayy? That's all that matters."
Lucas sat next to her.
"We are gonna see each other everyday and always be together. I mean my room is right there. The only thing we aren't doing is being a couple. I mean it's not the end of the world."
Lucas grabbed Maya's hand and intertwined their fingers.
"Lucas we-"
"I don't think I can be just friends with you." he said abruptly.
"What?" Maya said looking into his eyes.
"Maya I love you, but not being able to be with you while you live right across the hall is just going to be torture."
"So you'd rather us not be anything at all?"
"You know what I want us to be, but if we can't be together, well I don't think I can do just friends, not right now anyways."
Maya's eyes became glossy. She looked away from him.
"Alright, fine." she said getting up. "I guess I'll just go now." she said heading for the door.
"Maya I just need time."
"No no, I get it. Now if you'll excuse me." Maya said not looking at him in the eyes.
She darted for the door and went into her room closing the door.
Lucas was devastated with himself and the whole situation. Why couldn't he just be her friend?
He heard Maya crying faintly. He felt horrible with himself. He knew this wasn't easy for her and he just made it much more difficult.
He got up and closed his door as well. As soon as he did he turned and leaned against it and slid down. He was hurting really bad.
**Maya's POV of what just happened.
"No no, I get it. Now if you'll excuse me." she turned and walked out the door quickly, she went into her room and immediately closed her door. She turned and slid down it as the tears began to fall.
She knew this was going to be hard but Lucas just made it even more difficult.
Maya heard Lucas close his door and she knew he was hurting really bad too. She pulled out her phone and sent Zay a message asking him to check on Lucas because she had never seen him so upset before.
Maya cried for quite sometime before she picked herself up and went down stairs.
"Maya. Everything settled into your room?"
"Yes ma'am. Would it be alright if I went to Missy's?"
"Yes, curfew is 1am since it is Saturday."
"Well actually she invited me to spend the weekend with her family. Her mom thought it might make things a little lighter over here for Lucas and I if we weren't in the same place right now."
"I think that is a wonderful idea. Will you be needing a ride?"
"No ma'am. I was just going to take the subway."
"Alright."
"Monday is a school holiday so I figure if it is alright I can just stay and go to school with her Tuesday morning?"
"I think that will be fine. Just make sure you come home after school Tuesday."
"Yes, I will. Thank you!" Maya said heading upstairs to pack.
Maya packed her things quickly. She wanted to get out of that house and release the tension.
Maya had everything but her bathing suit. It was in the dryer. Maya ran downstairs to retrieve it and was back up stairs in no time. As she was coming to the top of the stairs Lucas rounded the corner and the two collided. Lucas caught Maya from falling backwards down the stairs, but she managed to drop her bathing suit and her cell phone.
"Sorry, I-I wasn't looking." Maya said releasing the grip she had on Lucas.
"Going somewhere?" he said leaning down to pick up her phone and bathing suit.
"Umm yea. Missy invited me over for the weekend."
"Oh." Lucas said.
"Yea… So I guess I'll see you at school Tuesday then." Maya said grabbing her bag from her room and making her way downstairs and out the door.
Lucas was beyond miserable about the whole situation.
He didn't want to sit at home anymore so he got up and left.
"Lucas where are you going?"
"Out." he said walking passed his mom.
He got in his truck and drove off.
He got to Zay's and called him.
"What are we doing?" Zay said as he got in the truck.
"Going to a party."
"By ourselves?"
Lucas gave Zay the death glare.
"Okayy Okayy." Zay said holding his hands up as if he surrendered.
"I'm tired of sitting at home so I want to do something."
"As long as you don't do anything stupid." Zay said.
"We'll see." Lucas said.
The two arrived at the party and Lucas went straight for the boo's.
He just wanted to drink and forget.
"He said he doesn't want to be friends." Maya said storming into Missy's bedroom.
"What? Why?"
"He said that if we can't be together they we can't be anything."
"I'm sorry hun." Missy said putting an arm around Maya as she sat in her window.
"I just- I know it's hard, but I'm hurting to you know?" Maya started to cry. "But at least I was willing to try."
"I think he just needs time Maya. I mean you are his whole life."
"Why does everyone keep saying that? Lucas, Zay, and now you."
"Because you are Maya."
"But I can't be!"
"Maya he's your whole life too! I mean we can all see that."
"I have dance, and my friends. He isn't the only thing I love."
"But he is number one on your list." Missy said pulling Maya's attention.
Maya looked at her a broke.
"This is just gonna be so hard." she cried.
"I know Maya, but I'm here and you have all of your friends." Missy said hugging her.
"Maya?"
"Yea?"
"I hate to ask this, but have you heard from Liz?"
"No, and I am so worried. I wish she would just at least send me a text or something saying she's okayy."
"I'm sure she is. Sorry for bringing her up."
**Couple hours later.
"Big news people! Big News!" Leila said bursting into Missy's room.
Maya and Missy were all cuddled up together in Missy's bed watching Dirty Dancing. They had become the best of friends and Maya needed Missy now more than ever since Liz basically fell off the face of the earth.
"We're busy." Missy said looking at Leila.
"Ooh. Something you two wanna tell me?" Leila joked.
"Yes. We've decided to become lovers. We're going to elope next month." Missy joked.
This caused Maya to laugh.
"Ha ha. Anyways, I head Ashley Benison is throwing is killer party tonight and we are going!" Leila squealed.
"Ugh, a party, now?" Maya said sitting up.
"Uhh YAA. We have to distract you somehow, and a party is the perfect way to do it!"
"I don't wanna." Maya pouted.
"Come on. It'll be so much fun. It's a pool party!"
"What if he's there?" Maya asked.
"I doubt it." Missy said.
"Well I didn't bring a party bathing suit, just my regular wimpy one."
"Ahh, see that's what this is for." Leila said holding up a shopping bag.
"Oh no." Maya mumbled.
"I bought us new bathing suits. We are gonna look so fine!" her face lit up.
"OOOO. Let me see!" Missy said jumping up. She loved getting new things.
"Maya, the one I got for you is so hot! We are gonna make it so all the boys know you're back on the market!"
"You know I don't want anyone else." Maya said looking down.
"No. No crying now. You've been crying all day!" Missy said turning back to her.
"I didn't say we were gonna get you a new boy, but that we we're just gonna make sure they know you're available and mighty fine!"
"I don't know… I haven't flirted with anyone else in so long. I don't think I could even if I tried."
"Bull shit." Leila said.
"What?"
"You flirt with Josh all the time!"
"What? No I don't!" Maya refused.
"Oh please." Missy chimed in. "That boy looks at you as if you were a god."
"No he doesn't." Maya refused. But this did get her thinking.
"Okayy, believe what you will but I know what I see." Leila said.
"OOOO. This is gorgeous." Missy said as she pulled a bathing suit out of the bag.
"That one is for Maya." Leila smiled.
"You want me to wear that!" Maya exclaimed. "I can't wear that in public!"
"Why not? It's hot!" Leila said.
"And slutty!" Maya exclaimed.
"I know right! It's perfect!" Leila said. "Now go put it on or I'll put it on you myself!"
Maya didn't resist anymore. She put the bathing suit on and came out of the bathroom trying to cover herself. Not even her regular clothes or dance uniforms showed this much skin.
"WOAH." Missy and Leila said at the same time.
"You look HOOOT!" Missy exclaimed.
"You don't think it's too showy?"
"Not at all! It's the perfect amount of showy!" Leila said.
This was slowly building Maya's confidence.
Maya's bathing suit wasn't a regular two piece. It was a one piece but it cut the stomach and was full open back and showed just the perfect amount of cleavage. Google "Sexy One Piece Swimsuits" on google. Click on images and if your google images is anything like mine it should be at the very top under a "Sponsored" section. It is the 3rd one in. It is black and white messy striped and is $39 from Venus . Com.
"Tonight is gonna be so much fun!" Missy exclaimed getting all excited.
"Here, put this on over your suit." Leila said handing Maya booty shorts and a crop top.
The girls made small talk while they each got ready.
"So Josh likes me?" Maya asked out of no where.
"We seem to think so. Why? You all of sudden interested?" The pried.
"No no. Just curious." Maya said trying to hide a smile.
"Uh huh." Missy said.
"Okayy." Leila said.
"Shouldn't we be going?" Maya said quickly changing the subject.
The girls got into Missy's convertible and made their way to the party.
They blared the music and just had a good time making their way across town.
Missy was always sort of a more reckless driver, so when she got to Ashley's and immediately pulled up onto her lawn up over the curb it didn't surprise Maya or Leila.
Maya got out of Missy's car and was waiting for the two girls to join her when she froze in her place.
"Maya?" Missy said walking up next to her.
"He's here." she pointed to his truck.
The two were silent.
"Who cares." Leila said breaking the silence.
"You came here to have a good time and I am sure as hell going to make sure you have one!"
Maya slowly smiled at her.
"Yea. Friar isn't gonna stand in the way of you tonight. Lets go find us some guys and get our party started!" Missy said.
The girls got into their formation and made their way into their house.
Imagine the mean girls scene where Katy had been made over and the group of girls is walking through school in slow motion with the background music. Maya is in the middle with Missy on her left and Leila on the right.
The girls walked into the party with their sunglasses on their faces and their heads held high.
Maya didn't move her focus from walking forward because she didn't want to risk seeing him.
The 3 of them were drooled over as they made their way to the back of the house.
"Okayy, so what's the plan?" Missy said as the girl set their stuff down on one of the pool chairs.
"Boo's and Boy's." Leila said.
Maya looked nervous.
"Maya calm down." Leila said. "Don't worry, I'll find you someone who you can connect with no problem. I'm gonna get some guys and boo's." She said as she walked away.
"Oh god." Maya said as Leila walked off.
"She'll be back." Missy said.
"I can't believe she's here." Lucas said as he took a drink out of his cup.
"She can do whatever she wants." Zay said.
"Yea, well so can I." Lucas said.
"Dude, don't do something stupid."
"Oh no. I would never."
"So what are you gonna do?" Zay asked confused.
"Oh… I'm just gonna make sure no one gets to her…"
"Just, be careful. You don't want to lose her forever."
"I could never." Lucas said looking at Zay.
"I'm baaaack. And look who I found." Leila said walking up with none other than Joshua Matthews.
"Hey ladies."
"Sup Josh." Missy said.
"Hey." Maya said.
"So Missy, I saw two very hot and single guys over by the DJ station, wanna join me?"
"Absolutely!" Missy said getting excited.
The two girl left Maya and Josh standing there.
"So, how are you? I mean I heard that…" Josh said.
"I'm okayy. I mean I've been forced here against my will, but other than that, you know."
"Well good. I mean I'm glad your not sulking or anything." Josh was stumbling on his words. "I mean- I uh-"
Maya laughed. "No no. I'm kind of glad to be out too."
Maya and Josh just talked for a while until Missy and Leila showed back up with two very muscular guys.
"Hey guys, where you been?" Maya asked.
"This is Jared and Justin. They're seniors." Missy smiled.
"Guys, this is Maya and Josh."
"Well aren't you just a blessing in disguise." said one of the guys to Maya.
Maya blushed.
"Well thank you." Maya said.
"Pretty lady could I offer you a dance?" Said the other guy taking Maya's hand and kissing it.
His friend gave him the death glare.
"What if I want to dance with her?" the friend said.
"Well then you should've asked her sooner."
"You didn't give me a chance. You cut me off."
The two guys started fighting.
Maya had to admit it was kind of nice knowing some guys found her interesting enough to fight over.
"Guys guys!" Maya said breaking it up. "I'm sorry, but I was just about to dance with Josh here." she smiled at Josh. "He asked me just before you all walked up so if you'll excuse us." Maya said grabbing Josh's hand and leading him away to the dance floor.
"We don't have to dance if you don't want." Maya said. "I Just didn't want to be in that whole mess back there."
"No it's cool. I was actually gonna ask if you wanted to anyways." Josh smiled.
"You were?" Maya asked with her eyes lighting up a little.
Josh smiled at her. "Shall we?" he said holding out his hand.
Maya smiled and took his hand. The two danced for a while. It was a little awkward at first but Maya loosened up after a few songs. She started to feel comfortable.
The music just kept going and going. Maya just didn't want to stop dancing. The beat was infectious. She was having a great time and it was exactly what she needed.
At some point Maya was getting hot and needed a drink.
"You thirsty?" she yelled to Josh over the music.
"Yea, want me to get you a drink?"
"I'd love that!"
"Brb."
Maya went over to sit on a stool at a table while she waited for Josh.
"What are you doing?" Zay said as he walked up to Maya causing her to jump.
"Jesus Zay. You scared the shit out of me."
"Don't change the subject."
"What do you mean what am I doing?"
"What are you doing dancing with Josh?" he said a little agitated.
"Is it a crime? Am I not allowed to have a good time with my friend?"
"No you can have a good time but you don't need to be all up on him and grinding with another guy right in front of Lucas."
"Wait he's here?" Maya asked pretending to be shocked.
"Oh please Maya. I know you know he's here."
Maya got quiet.
"Look, he's hurting Maya. I hate to see him this way."
"I'm hurting too Zay. I want to do everything I can to make this pain go away, but I can't. So I am just trying to shove it off to the side for one night."
"I know you do Maya. I hate that you two can't be together."
"I tried to tell him we were gonna be the best of friends, but he said no."
"What?" Zay said confused.
"He said he can't be my friend."
"What? He loves you."
"Well he said he didn't want to be friends if we couldn't be anything."
"He did? He really said that."
"Yes. And I just-" Maya took a deep breath. "All I know is that I do love him and I always will, but if he doesn't want anything to do with me then I need to start branching out. Not sleeping around, but you know. I can't sit around and sulk Zay. That's just torture for me."
"Hey." Josh said walking up.
"Hey, thanks." Maya said grabbing one of the cups from his hand.
"I need to talk to you." Zay said grabbing Josh's arm and pulling him away.
"Dude." Josh said.
"Don't dude me. Look. I know you like Maya as more than just a friend, but she's Lucas's girl, so if you make any moves on her I swear to god you're gonna have hell to pay." Zay said.
"I wouldn't try anything on her man. She's vulnerable and that's not fair to her."
"So we have an understanding?" Zay said.
"Absolutely. I'd rather her be tangled up with me here at this party than with some random."
"Actually that's a smart idea."
"Yea." Josh said.
"Look, just make sure she doesn't get hurt anymore okayy? I love that girl and I hate the situation she's in right now."
"Absolutely man."
The two came to an understanding and Josh walked back to where Maya was.
"Hey Maya." Zay said coming back up to her.
"Yea?"
"One more thing." Zay said.
"What is it?"
He took the cup from her hand and dumped the beer into a bush.
"Zay?!"
"Don't drink. Not after what happened the last time you were drunk."
Maya's eyes got wide.
"Just looking out for you." he said.
"Zay I can handle myself. I am older now."
"It's been a year." Zay said.
"Look, I can't stop you from drinking-"
"Your damn right."
"-but just don't get drunk okayy?"
"Fine." Maya sighed.
Zay kissed her on the cheek.
"Don't do anything stupid tonight." he said before walking away.
Maya smiled. She loved how protective Zay was.
"He's a little protective over you." Josh said smiling.
"Yea, he's one of my best friends."
"I can see why."
"MAYA!" Missy yelled running over to her.
"Missy!" Maya mocked back laughing.
"Let's go swimming!"
"Now? We've barely been here two hours. It's only 10:30. We have all night."
"Come on, it'll be fun!" Leila said walking up with her sex boy toy.
"PLEASE!" Missy begged her.
"Missy your drunk." Maya laughed.
"No I'm just tipsy." she smiled.
"Alright fine. We'll go swimming." Maya finally said.
"Yayyy!" Missy hugged Maya.
"Woah. Okayy, down girl." Maya laughed.
Missy ran off and started undressing with Leila and their boy toys.
"You up for a swim?" Maya looked at Josh.
"Ehh, why not." Josh said.
Maya took off her shirt and then her shorts.
"Woah." Josh said watching her.
"What? Oh my god is it ugly? Do I look bad? I'll kill Leila."
"No no. It looks- I mean you look good."
Maya smiled.
"Shall we?" Josh said leading her to the pool.
"We shall." She smiled.
Maya and Josh were walking around to get to the stairs when Maya stopped in her tracks. She stopped laughing and her smile vanished.
"Maya? What's wrong?" Josh asked.
She didn't say anything or move her head from where she was staring.
"Maya?" Josh looked to where she was looking.
There was Lucas sitting with another girl on his lap flirting with her.
"Oh." Josh breathed.
Maya just stared at the two until Lucas noticed her. He froze and stared at her as well.
**Lucas POV.
"You okayy Lukey?" the girl asked.
She looked out to where he was looking.
"Who's that?"
"Huh? Oh, that's nobody."
"She doesn't look like nobody." the girl said looking at him.
"That's my ex."
"Oh… Wanna make her jealous?"
Lucas looked at the girl.
"How so?"
"Mmmm. How about this." she said before she smashed her lips into his. She full on attacked his face.
**Maya's POV.
"I see it didn't take him long to move on." Maya said a little angry.
"Maya maybe we shouldn't be watching him…" Josh said.
Maya's breath hitched when Lucas locked eyes with her.
It was silent. It was like the whole world had stopped and it was just them.
"Maya?" Josh said.
"Huh?" Maya said pulling out of her thoughts.
"Do you wanna talk?"
"Uhh, no. I'm alrig-"
Maya stopped when she saw the girl smash her lips into Lucas's.
"Oh no." Josh mumbled.
Maya ran off.
"Maya! Maya wait!" Josh said going after her.
Maya didn't know where she was running to but she was surely getting the hell out of that situation.
Maya hit a fence and stopped. She was in full blown tears and she couldn't catch he breath.
"Maya!" she heard behind her.
"No. I know. He can do whatever he wants." Maya said through her tears.
"Maya it's alright to be upset. I mean you two were together for almost 2 years." Josh said.
"It's just so hard." Maya cried.
"I know Maya. Believe me." Josh said giving her a hug.
"Listen, if you want to leave I will take you anywhere you want to go."
"No no. I came here to have a night of fun and I am not gonna let him ruin this."
"Are you sure?" Josh asked.
"Yea." Maya said wiping her face. "I'll manage."
"Okayy." Josh said. "To the pool?"
"Yes." Maya let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in.
The group had a good fun time in the pool. The just hung out and played chicken and splashed around and just enjoyed each others companies. That was until Missy got sick in the bushes and Leila disappeared with her boy toy.
"Okayy okayy." Maya said holding Missy's hair.
"Maya I don't feel good." Missy whined.
"I know Missy."
"I should get her home." Maya said looking at Josh.
"Good idea." Josh said.
"Uhh, can you get her into her car while I get our stuff?" Maya asked.
"Yea, sure." Josh said.
"I'll grab your stuff too. I can drive you home." Maya said running off.
Maya got all the things and was making her way through the house when she bumped into someone.
"Oh sorry, I wasn't looking-" Maya started but when she noticed who it was she stopped.
"This gonna be a continuous thing for us?" Lucas asked with a smile on his face.
"Hope not." Maya said picking up her things.
"You look amazing by the way."
"Lucas don't." Maya said.
"Look, can we just go somewhere and talk? Please?"
"No we can't. Missy isn't feeling well and I need to get her home."
"Okayy so I'll drive you."
"No. We have her car. Plus your drunk." Maya said moving around him.
"Maya please. I just wanna talk about what you saw earlier. It wasn't anything."
"Lucas please. This is hard enough for me too. I understand that we aren't anything anymore so if you wanna go around making out with others girls then I cannot stop you, but please just don't flaunt it in my face because I have feelings too." Maya said before walking out.
Lucas was pissed now. Maya wasn't listening. He made his way to the boo's and doubled up.
Maya walked out of the house wiping a tear from her face.
"You alright?" Josh said as she approached the car.
He was leaning against it waiting for her.
"Yea, I just ran into Lucas is all."
"You wanna talk about it?"
"Not right now, but maybe later I'll take you up on that offer if it's still standing…"
"It's always standing." Josh smiled.
"Maaayyyaaa." Missy whined from the back seat.
"Alright alright, we're coming." Maya said.
"You mind if we take her home first and then you? I wouldn't be able to carry her up the stairs anyways…"
"Yea, absolutely!" Josh said.
"Well then let's go." Maya said getting into the drivers seat.
"Thanks for helping me get Missy home." Maya said putting the car in park in front of Josh's house.
"It was my pleasure. You know, once she wasn't vomiting every 10 minutes to her house."
"Yea, sorry about that. I knew she was gonna over due it. She always does." Maya laughed.
"So. You wanna come in?" Josh asked.
"Ummm."
"I've got lasagna in the fridge."
"Really?" Maya's eyes lit up. "That's one of my favorite foods, Tuna melts being the first."
"So I take that as a yes?" Josh said.
"Uhh hell yea." Maya said unbuckling he seatbelt and getting out of the car.
"It's kinda dark… Parents not home?"
"Nahh, their on a business trip till next week."
"That must be nice."
"It really is. No parents equal total freedom."
"Yea, I know how that feels." Maya said sitting down on his couch.
Things got silent.
"So…" Maya said.
"So…" Josh said.
"Listen, can I ask you something and I want you to be honest with me?"
"Anything." Josh said.
"Do you like me?"
"Of course, who wouldn't." Josh said quickly.
"No I mean do you like me like me? Like you have feelings for me?"
"Maya-"
"Please, be honest with me." Maya said with big eyes.
"Yes. I do have feelings for you."
"Why didn't you ever say anything?"
"Because you were with Lucas. You were happy."
"Yea well we see how that turned out." Maya said.
"Listen, I know your situation sucks but I can see that he loves you with his whole heart, and you love him too."
"Can I be honest with you?" Maya asked.
"Of course."
"I sort of have feelings for you too…" Maya said biting he bottom lip.
"You do?"
"Mhm…"
"So what does this mean then."
"Josh, I like you. You've become one of my best friends and I don't want that to change, not right now. I just got out of a relationship that was everything to me and I really just need a friend right now."
"So you're saying that this isn't never?"
"Yea, just not a good idea right now."
"Then I totally agree. I'll be whatever you want me to."
"Thanks Josh." Maya smiled.
Josh smiled back.
"Well I should get going. Missy's parents aren't home tonight so I can't leave her alone for to long."
"Yea good idea." Josh said. "I'll walk you to your car."
The two said their goodbyes and Maya went on her way back to Missy's. She was grateful to Josh because she didn't know she could get butterflies with anyone else besides Lucas.
Maya's night ended good, but what she'll wake up to is a new nightmare.
A/N: Hey people! Sorry for the long awaited update! I'm finally on Vacation from work so I am hoping to do at least another 2 chapters before I go back Monday! Okayy, so idk if y'all follow the GMW fandom on tumblr (if you don't DO NOT start because you'll become obsessed like me) but someone recorded and released Ski Lodge 1 (and it was beyond not helpful might I say) and can we just talk about how freaking FINE Lucas Friar looks dressed in regular clothes! I mean a Brooklyn hoodie and ripped jeans, there is nothing sexier than that right there! It instanly made me think of how Maya dressed in season 1! I'm sure if you haven't seen the episode you've seen the spoiler videos and pictures and you know what I am talking about, so let's just say Lucas Friar is a total babe now and has the total package!
