May 3, 2018; Early Morning
Maya was sleeping soundly on Jonathan's bare chest, his arm wrapped around her. Her head rising and falling with his sleeping breaths. The sun peeked through the windows casting streams of warm light across the bare skin of her back, her naked body barely covered by the bed sheet. It was a perfect, peaceful morning.
"Maya Penelope Hunter!" A voice boomed as the door to the bedroom swung open violently.
Maya woke startled, Jon sat up still holding her protectively until the reality of who was standing at the door hit him. Shawn Hunter stood in the doorway, enraged with veins popping at his temples. Cory Matthews held his friend by the shoulder to keep him from attacking the pair on the bed.
"Get the fuck away from her, Jon!" Shawn lunged forward and Maya scrambled off the bed pulling a blanket around her. Jon held his hands up in surrender.
"What are you doing?" she cried with panic and tears in her eyes. The world felt like it was crashing down around her.
Shawn never took his eyes off Jon, "That's exactly what I want to know! My daughter, Jon? Really?" He moved further into the room, Cory struggling to hold him back. "I should fucking kill you!"
"Shawn!" Cory and Maya shouted in unison, pleading with him to stop.
Cory looked at the terrified girl, "Put some clothes on Maya and go downstairs." She stood there frozen, not wanting to leave Jon alone to deal with her father. "Maya, please honey, get dressed and go. Don't make this worse."
She stifled a sob as she backed into the bathroom to grab whatever clothes she's left in there. Her hand hesitating at the doorknob when she heard Shawn continue to yell.
"How could you? She's just a little girl, she's my little girl! To find her in bed with you---"
"She's hardly a little girl," Jon offered, knowing it was probably the wrong thing to say, but there was no right thing either.
"Jonathan," Cory warned. "She might not be a child, but she is still your student. What were you thinking?"
"I..." he paused, "I don't know."
"You are going to stay away from her. You will never touch her again. Do you understand?"
There was only silence. Maya's heart shattered; she couldn't hear anymore. She was too angry that her perfect night was ruined by this disaster of a morning. Taking the stairs two at a time, she found her friends standing there nervously. Maya locked eyes with Riley.
"You did this, didn't you? You called your fucking dad and ruined everything!" She spat at the trembling girl in front of her. "You selfish, bitch! I cannot believe you would do this to Jon... to me!"
"I'm sorry," Riley squeaked. "I was just trying to do the right thing."
"For who?!" Maya's hands balled into fist. "I will never forgive you for this."
"Maya," she reached out.
"Stay the hell away from me Riley!" Maya stormed out the back door and collapsed to her knees in the backyard and sobbed, full of anger and embarassment.
Farkle and Lucas stared at Riley, disappointment palpable in their expressions.
"What did you do, Riley?" Farkle sighed, shaking his head.
"I saw them together the other day. He kissed her... I was trying to do the right thing," she repeated.
"You went and tattled to your dad and now Mr. Turner could lose his job and Maya is heartbroken... was betraying your best friend worth it? She really likes him. I know it doesn't make sense to you, but she was so happy." Farkle spat. "God, Riley! This is why we never tell you anything! We have to keep secrets and lie because we can't trust you. The second any of us step outside the bounds of the world according to Riley, we all get punished. I hate to break it to you, we're not all living in Rileytown." He followed Maya outside.
