Children // Faya

Chapter 4: Aftermath

(I apologize for this chapter)

Riley

Once the song ended, I heard Farkle yell out Maya's name. Everyones head turned to see Farkle holding Maya who wasn't conscious. My eyes widened and I ran. I was freaking out, I took Maya from him and I heard Lucas telling people to back up so we weren't crowded. I carefully laid her down on the ground and looked up. I was trying to find my dad because I had no idea what to do.

"Dad?" I semi-yelled. I could see him pushing his was though the crowd. Farkle and Lucas got down to see what was wrong. I hoped they would figure it out. My dad came out of the crowd and got down too. I tried to come up with something.

No, she got sleep last night. No, she wouldn't do that. At least I hope. Dehydration?

"Was she thirsty?" I ask.

"No we both had punch from the person walking around with the punch." Farkle says. We all look at him.

"Farkle, there was no man walking around with punch." Dad says. Farkle became really scared. He cuffed his hands over his mouth to check his breath.

"Smells like punch."

Lucas opens her mouth and smells. He backs away, coughing a bit. "That's not punch." I do the same thing. I know its not punch either.

"Dad, that's alcohol." I say.

"Farkle breathe." Lucas says. He does and Lucas says, "Yeah, that's punch. Thats not punch" He points to Maya.

"Well. I'll take her home. You all just continue, even though thats kind of hard to do. You guys can talk to her in the morning." Dad picks her up and walks out. Lucas, Farkle and I all sit on the ground.

"How is it possible that alcohol made her pass out?" I ask.

"That's a good question." Farkle says. "And I don't know the answer."

Maya

I felt like crap. I opened my eyes and it was night outside. I was in my bed. I could barely move. I move my head a little bit.

1:27

It was late. I was going to get up, but I couldn't move. I tried to talk, but my moth was taped. What was going on?

I watch as a figure walks into my room. I tried to look at who it was, but I couldn't tell. It was too dark in my room. I tried to say something, but it came your inaudible.

I was creeped out when the person stared crawling on top of me. He shifted my legs which made me very scared. I wanted to get away but I couldn't, since my body was limp. I wanted to yell to get away, but I couldn't.

"Just relax."

He started taking off my shirt. Then I started crying.

My eyes open. And this time I can move. I can speak. But my mouth hurt from the tape. It was dark in my room, but it was ten. I heard banging on my window.

The windows were covered and locked. I noticed I was stripped from my clothes, then everything came back in my head. I started crying. I remembered the voice in my head. It sounded like a guy in his late teens, early twenties.

I started crying, sobbing. I forced myself to put on some clothes. I dried my tears and walked over to the window. I took the cover off the the window and Riley was sitting there. I unlocked and opened the window.

"Maya, are you okay? I was so worried last night." Riley rambles.

"What happened last night?" I asked.

"You passed out. Somebody gave you alcohol. Farkle says it was the guy who gave you punch. Oh speaking of Farkle, he's really worried. Well, we all are."

"Riley, can I have a minute real quick? Just go back to your room and I'll be there." I tell her. She nods and leaves the window. I close it and sit on the ground, letting the tears out of my eyes.
