Picking Up The Broken Pieces

Chapter 4- Water Fight

(Lucas' POV)

    I knocked lightly on Maya's door. I walked in and she had been laying down crying. She pushed herself onto the palms of her hands, so that all of her weight was on her back and arms. She looked at me waiting for me to explain why I was there.
    " Why are you crying?"
    " I'm not," she said as another tear slowly went down her face.
    I gave her the look. Did she seriously think that I couldn't see the tiny dots of mascara running down her face? I wasn't blind. 
    She let out another snob then hugged me I was shocked at first, but soon I tightly squeezed her. She sniffled and kept hugging me. I could tell she was enjoying herself. I let go of her and smiled; she smiled back at me. I leaned against the wooden headboard on her bed.
    " Come here," I told her. She started crying again.
    " You're even pretty when you cry," I told her meaning every word of what I said.
    " Keep telling youself that," She said sarcastically. I loved her sarcasm and how she only used when I said something she didn"t think was true.
    " No, I mean it. You're beautiful even when you cry," she smiled, " that's why you have no reason to tell me why you were crying," she didn't respond.
    " If you won't tell me why I will say it myself," again no response.
    " Maya, I know you like me." She sat up and looked at me with the exact same expression on her face like she did at the campfire when she lied to me when I asked why she didn't want me to ride the bull.
    " No, I don't."
    " You're message to me says otherwise."
    I took out my phone and pulled up what she private messaged me. She forwarded what she accidentally sent to Riley about her brother and in that she said that she liked me. She took my phone and rolled her eyes.
    " It's official, I'm an idiot," she stood up and went to her garage. Her mom just got here. I didn't even know she wasn't here in the first place. I don't think Maya knew either. She ran into her garage. Her mom was holding a bunch of groceries.
    " Oh, Lucas I didn't know you were here," Maya's mom said.
    " I didn't know you weren't home. I'm sorry, I wouldn't have came in had I known.
    " Oh no, it's fine you are always welcome," Maya's mom looked at Maya and smiled. Maya just rolled her eyes. Cameron walked out. I like cameron he is a nice guy and riley likes him, so I have to like him. Cameron and I have small talk, but we don't talk that often anymore.
    " Lucas, how did you even get into my house."
    " I let her in," Cameron said.
    " That's why I didn't hear him knock on the door. You were stalking Riley on the internet on the laptop which right next to he door," Maya rambled out much because Cameron was giving Maya the look to shut up and Maya's Mom was eyeballing cameron. She told him,
    " Oh I didn't know you liked Riley, and why you didn't you tell me?
    " We can talk about it later, mom. Oh and um Maya why did you just tell that to Lucas.
     "He already knew.
    " Thats it's," Cameron ran over to Maya and started chasing her around osidede. I walked over to Maya's Mom and asked.
    " They really love each other don't they?"
    " They do. " Her mom hair was just lke her daughters.
    " Maya and Cameron you guys need to help bring in groceries and water the grass."
    " Leave them be. I'll hep wth the goceries." I go inside and put all the groceries on the table.
    " You know Lucas, you're a good guy"
    I smiled " Thanks Ms. Hart."
    " Did Maya tell you about her party."
    " No."
    " Well, maya is havng a pizza party here on fridy and she wants you and your whole family to come.
    " Okay I will ask my mom and text Maya. Do you mind if we use the h0se?"
    " What for?"
    " You said the grass needed to be watered and Cameron and Maya ae already out chasing each oher. They can get some work done by spraying each other with the hose."
    " Go get them."
I ran outside and grbbed the hose.
    " Um Lucas, Maya stalks you on Instagram before she goes to bed.
     I sprayed her right in the face and she didn't even she it comming. Next thing I knew she pulled the hose out of my hand, jumped on me and she ran the freezing water in my hair.I ran with the beautiful blonde on my back and we found Riley
    " Heyy guys."
    " Riley, Cameron stalks you on instagram."
    " He does? Maya, give me the hose."
    " I think I better go inside," Cameron was on the run or it.
    " You can stalk me or talk to me."
    " Okay, we can talk."
    " but there is a price."
    " What is---" before Cameron could finish his sentence Riley sprayed water right in his face. They started running around with the hose. They looked like they are having fun.
    " Maya, would you please get off my back," I teased her and said it just like I said it in the gym. She laughed and jumped off and sat on the ground.
    " Well it would seem Cameron is finally talking to Riley."
    " True, they are just too cute," Maya told me this and started shivering
    " I'll get you a towel," I ran by the front door and grabbed the driest towel I could find most of the towels were wet from the hose.
    " Thank you Lucas." She leaned on my shoulder.
    " Your hair is beautiful when it's wet."
    She smiled looked at my lips and looked back up at my eyes. I put my hands on her shoulders, closed my eyes, leaned in and.............
