Three years

A/N: I don't own Girl Meets World or anything else you may recognise. Does anyone else ship Joshaya? I'll always have a soft spot for lucaya but maybe Josh and Maya are meant to be💖

She lay in bed, thinking about life and how everything has played out for her. She never thought of herself as fierce or brave, she thought she was like any other average teenager. She had problems, and these problems caused her to feel insecure but who doesn't have problems? We're all humans and we all face things in life that causes us hardship but it makes us become stronger and aware of all danger signs that will stand in our way.
Maya always had a hard time when it came to insecurites, she may look strong and brave but deep down she was broke and scared. She started to become attracted to Rileys uncle, Josh. Ofcourse at first Riley didn't approve, she was weirded out by the fact of her best friend and favourite uncle dating that could lead to Maya becoming her auntie but after she thought about it she realised how caring Josh was and how awesome of an auntie Maya would be and she saw how her bestfriend lit up everytime Josh complimented or talked to her and she knew that Maya has never felt pure happiness when someone of the opposite sex payed attention to her and her beauty; sure she had Farkle and Lucas but to be honest, Lucas deserved Riley and had most of his attention on Riley and Farkle was a plain flirt but it was harmless, now though, he started to like Isadora Smakle and most of his divert attention was to impress the small smart alleck that stole the boys heart.
Maya never felt so outcasted, not in a bad way but everyone of ber bestfriends have started to grow apart because of their love intrests and the only actual time they all hang together, as friends, is in school but even then, Riley and Lucas couldnt keep their hands of each other and Farkle and Izzy flirted.. Well tried flirting but always ending up competeing with each other on whose smartest but at the end making up. Maya never felt so left out, she couldnt blame them though, love makes us do stupid things.
Maya started to think why was it so hard for Josh to accept that she liked him, well it was obvious because of her demeanour towards him when he was around but he'd always pull the three years card. 'Its just three years' she thought distastefully, three years wasn't even a big age gap, she knew people that were dating or getting married with an age gap between 3/6 years but he always said three years and frankly enough Maya had gotten tired of his antics and just decided to let him go. She saw him once on a date with this beautiful goddess of a "woman" and she realised she couldn't compare to that standard of beauty that Josh wants, she wasn't beautiful heck she was nowhere near she thought, 'he probably doesn't even care about you Maya, stop wasting time and move on before you get hurt' her conscience told her and she never listened but maybe it was time to. Josh said things to her that made her feel like a princess, but little did he know how much he actually hurts her. Shes never felt so insecure of herself and who she is, and the thing is with Josh, she will always end up getting hurt. "Maybe it is time to accept and move on" Maya sighed, new formed tears swelled in her ice blue eyes, she never cries and now shes sobbing over a boy who was three years older then her.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Josh layed wide awake, thinking of her. Her beautiful ice blue eyes, her soft creamy skin the way her smile lights up the room, she was gorgeous and damn he wanted her, he just wished he was younger or she was older. He tossed around in bed and looked at the time 3:13. Ever since he came to New York, all he could think about was the beautiful blonde, she was invading his every thought. He couldn't sleep because of it neither could he pay attention in class because of her. He has always liked Maya, but never said anything or showed any attraction but when noone was looking or not bothering to notice, the dazzling brunette usually stole glances at the said girl that was invading his every thought. Joshua Matthews liked Maya Hart, but he was too scared to admit it to her when he knew she liked him back, so he always freaked out and pulled the three years card but really he couldn't give a flying fuck about the age gap. He smiled to himself when he thought about the day he first came to NewYork, the day she stole his heart.. Again. Something clicked inside him, he wanted her and he needed her. He realised something.. Maybe Joshua Matthews doesn't like Maya Hart but loves her.
'I love maya' he whispered, before falling into slumber.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
He waited anxiously as he stood behind the door of the Matthews, he didn't know why he felt so nervous but something in his stomache churned and he just wanted to run away but it was too late, as soon as he was about to open the apartment door, Maya had opened it from the inside, she and Riley we're going to go out shopping, and Maya dreaded it. As she opened the door, she saw a nervous Josh, her heart skipped a beat as she saw him and chocolate brown eyes met the ice blue eyes, they both stared at each other unaware of the surroundings. It was like everything stopped, he was mesmerised and he couldn't fall out of the hypnosis that she seemed to put him in and as he stared he realised she felt the same thing. The Matthews stood there waiting for something to happen, Riley stood a few steps back and what happened next shocked her, well shocked everyone even Josh himself, Josh grabbed Maya and kissed her on her lips. The blonde beauty was shocked and gasped at first but kissed back, he wrapped his arms around her petite figure and she wrapped hers around his neck playing and pulling the baby hairs on the back of his neck, she tasted of mint and cherry, and how he enjoyed the taste of her plump lips. Sadly, they were human and needed oxygen to breath, as they broke apart Maya had tears in my eyes, she was so, so very confused.
"Why?" She whispered barely audible for him to hear but he heard
"Why" She regained her voice and spoke with full confidence but he knew with one look of her eyes she felt broke and defeated.
"Maya I.." He stammered, he scratched his neck, something he did when he was nervous or scared.
"Three years, all this time all you have said was three years!! And the day when i finally decide that I can't take the heartache and try and move on you come and kiss me!! Im so confused Josh, are you trying to spare my feelings? Play me and joke around? Is this some kind of a joke to you?!?" The tears now glided down her cream toned cheeks and his heart breaks. The girl that was tough and never showed any signs of hurt or pain was crying and it was all his fault. Tears swimmed in his chocolate brown eyes and he grabbed her face gently to look into her eyes and started to caress her face, he could here his heart pounding against his chest and he was pretty sure he could hear hers and she could hear his. Both of them gaze into eachothers orbes, Maya felt at home, he held something and no matter what she'll always come running to him because she loves him and love makes you do stupid things. Josh spoke his voice barely auidable but she could here what he said pretty well, "i love you Maya Hart, i dont care, i dont care about three years, i was scared but i dont know what of because your an amazing girl thats always on my mind consuming every single damn thought that I have, i love you Maya so friggen much and i needed you to know that"
Maya stood there shocked at what Josh had just said, but her next action caught him off guard, she grabbed his head and smashed her lips against his, she smiled in the kiss and broke it off to whisper "i love you too Josh, and three is just a number" and from that day on Maya and Josh faced multiple adventures through their relationship together and if i may say so myself, their relationship was strong and no one could tear them two apart because what they have is true love and true love never grows old.
