Everything Will Change: Girl Meets World Fanfiction

Ninety Six

Maya's POV:

The whole time at the park so far Riley's flinched at every fan and paparazzi that ran up to me.
I get that she's scared and all but it's not really helping my sake to calm me down either. I say, "Listen. I'm scared out of my mind too. But notice how I'm
not showing it. You should do the same too. Got it? We're gonna stick together and keep our heads held high through this. I'm gonna fight this and we're not gonna let him win. Plus the amount of protection I have is insane." I bring a smile to her face which makes me happy. She says, "You're right you're right." We continue strolling on and I stop at a perfect climbing tree. Josh smirks and climbs up and holds his hand out for me to hold. I grab his warm and soft hand and climb up. We sit on the branch and look over the lake. I feel a little snowflake touch my nose. I gasp with excitement and jump down and say to Riley, "YAY ITS SNOWING!" I love snow. Everyone knows that. I love to draw snowy scenes in my free time, which I don't have that much of anymore. Eh who am I kidding I still do.

Riley's POV:

After we got back to my apartment, we all sat around the fireplace and ate some of my moms delicious, homemade, Christmas, sugar cookies.
I look over and see Maya texting Justin and Ross. I don't wanna peek at their messages, so I look away.

I know Lucas and Farkle are with their families today, but I'm curious if Maya told them about the.. You know. and I wanna tell them, but I don't want to ruin their day. Maybe I'll just FaceTime them tonight and explain.

Maya snaps me out of my thoughts asking me, "So when do you wanna start recording the song? The sooner the better, because I already started a little self recording for silver nights." I say, "Whenever is best for you. We just shouldn't miss anymore school though." She says, "No I know that so we'd only go for weekends at a time." 
I'm excited but nervous for everyone to hear the song. I'm afraid of people's response to me in it. What if they like it! Or what if they hate it..
Ugh. I'm so torn, but hey there's always gonna be both responses so that's a plus right?
Shawn says, "Woah woah woah wait.
Riley you sing?!" I feel my cheeks burn. I stutter, "I- uh-I." Maya answers, "What Riley means to say is, yes she sings. She's featured in one of the songs I wrote. You guys said you heard it a few days ago." Aunt Morgan says confused, "I didn't." My dad says, "Morg you were lost in your own thoughts half that day." Everyone laughs and Shawn says, "I didn't know you were singing in it Riley! Jeez how cool is that." I blush and say looking down, "Thanks." My grandma says, "Why don't you give us a little taste of it?" And here comes the burning face again. Maya answers for me, "Riley would LOVE that." I glare at her and she laughs which breaks me. I can't stay mad at her it's impossible. She gets up to get her guitar and I follow.
As were walking upstairs I say, "Did you really have to say that?" She says with a smirk, "Yep I did." I open the door to my bedroom and I stare with a pale face when I look up and see what's in it.
There's someone in here with a black hoodie holding the evidence, the rock. Maya says angrily, "Don't you even fucking move. I swear I'll knock you out. DROP the rock. TURN AROUND." She even scared me with her tone of voice. The person obeyed and faced us. He didn't seem familiar to me. I get out my phone and take a picture of him sneakily. This is to show the police. Maya says, "Listen you little shit. I don't know who you are, but I know what you're doing here. DO NOT come back to this apartment again? GOT IT? Follow me anywhere else. Not here." The person smirks and says, "I don't see what the difference would be. The way I see it is you're dead wherever I find you."
She runs up to him and kicks him across the face. He drops without hesitation. She turns to me and doesn't say a word. She doesn't have to. Her eyes say a thousand.  The feeling of fear for the situation, anger for the man, and sympathy for me all fill her eyes. I don't know how to react. My body doesn't know whether to run to the cops, to cry, or to pass out.
She eases up to me and hugs me. That was all I needed. Everything starts to come back to reality. Tears pour out of my eyes and I cry into her shoulder. She says soothing, "I know. Shh. It's okay now." I pull away and panic, "We gotta go to the police! We gotta get them here we gotta get him there! What do we do what do we do?!" She gets her phone out and calls the cops. As she's telling them the story I open the door and everyone stumbles over like they were leaning on it. Josh shoves everyone and runs over to Maya. He holds her waist and stares into her eyes as she's on the phone. He lets go and looks down at the unconscious man. He starts kicking his body, screaming at him. I pull him back and stop him. When Maya gets off the phone she sits at the bay window and puts her face in her hands. I sit next to her and she says into her palms, "I shouldn't be around here. I have to go far away and lure them with me so you're all safe." I say, "No no no! Maya were getting through this together. Me and you against the world remember?" She looks up at me with tear stained cheeks. I hug her and whisper, "Just let it out. Don't keep bottling up your feelings all the time." She sniffles and says pulling back, "No I'm good. Let's just go and wait for the cops." And walks out of the room. I sigh and remember there's a body right by my feet.
Ew.
I get the chills and step away.

After the cops came they took the man in the back of their car to the jail. Then they talked insurance for breaking my drawer.
I'm really scared that one of these times they're gonna get Maya. How many are even working for her dad?! We have no idea when it'll be over.

I told Farkle that I'd FaceTime him when we go to bed. It's 1 am now and I'm about to call him:

On FaceTime

First thing I do is explain everything. From the morning to now. Farkle says, "I- uh- just...wow...... Are you scared?"
I simply nod and feel a lump in my throat. My eyes get glassy and Farkle says, "Hey hey it's okay. Don't cry. You have to be strong with her otherwise it's not gonna help her that much."
He's right. How could I have been so selfish?
He says goodnight and hangs up.

End of FaceTime

I put my phone on the dresser and lay on my back staring up at the ceiling.
I close my eyes and try to sleep, but I can't. I see Maya tossing and turning every few minutes, but stays silent. I whisper, "I know you're not asleep." She sighs, "I can't. I have so much on my mind." I say, "That goes for the both of us." She says, "I'm sorry. For this, for everything. I didn't think with this fame it could bring this. I didn't think about my dad and if he could find me now. I didn't think the danger it all could bring." I say, "Like I said, it's okay. Seriously. We're gonna get this resolved and you can get back to normal. Well not normal but you get it." She says, "Sometimes, I wish I could be able to go outside to clear my mind without the fear of being clobbered by fans, paparazzi, or... my dad." I feel bad. I'd switch places with her any day. If she was alone. If she was in a coma. I just want to know how she really feels.

4 chapters left so I'm gonna make them about this long. What do you guys think I will end this book with? You'll find out in a few days ;) bye for now!
