Behind her Back

Making Up

Maya's P.O.V
My mom walks into my bedroom as soon as Lucas leaves. "What the hell were you doing, kissing him like there was no tomorrow, in the apartment I'm paying for?" She shouts at me. Bitch. "I'm sorry Mom, I'm a teenager I should-" "Crap! All bull crap! I never wanna see Lucas Friar here ever again! Wasn't he, Riley, your best friend, her boyfriend? What the hell is wrong with you?!" I quickly shout back "Nothing is freaking wrong with me! She broke up with him and I broke off my friendship with her!" My mom looks angry after I say that and shouts "Goddamnit, I didn't raise my daughter to do all this disgusting stuff with her ex best friend's ex boyfriend! Get the hell out!" I feel the tears pour out of my eyes before I shout "Fuck you! I hate you! I can see why my father left you!" I grab a bag and throw some necessities an crap into it and I can feel my mom's anger as she storms out of the room. Holy fucking shit. She got so worked up over me kissing a boy when we weren't even having sex. God knows what she would do if she found out about my wild night. I fucking hate her. I storm out of the house and pull my phone out. I call Lucas quickly and he answers. "What?" He asks in a tired voice. I rub my throbbing head as I say "Can I, like stay at your house maybe tonight?" I can imagine him with a confused look on his face as he asks "How about Riley?" I quickly say "I was so stupid that I said a bunch of shit to her and now she hates me. I was just, I don't know, crazy." I hear him sigh and then say "Make up with her. Friends matter more than relationships. I'll see you on Monday." I feel angry as I hang up and call a taxi.

I knock softly on the well known door of the Matthews' apartment. Topanga opens the door with a smile on her face. "Oh my god! Maya I feel like I haven't seen you in forever!" She pulls me into a hug that is meant to be happy but I end up sobbing into her worn out pink sweater. "God, Maya what's wrong?" She asks me when she realizes I'm crying. God I feel like a weakling crying all the time now when I shouldn't even be. Topanga guides me to the couch and hands me a steaming cup of tea. "If you don't want to talk about it with, me, Riley's in her bedroom. She nods toward her bedroom. I shake my head and start. "Topanga, I did something really stupid yesterday, which resulted in me doing something really stupid today also. Um, do you promise not to tell Cory about this, or, uh, Josh?" Oh god, it feels weird just saying his name after the, incident last night. "Sure sweetie, we have all day." She smiles as I'm about to tell her about everything that happened. I bet she won't be smiling when she realizes I got drunk and fucked her husband's younger brother. I tell her the whole story of last night and then what I did to Riley and then that I made out with Lucas and my mom saw and kicked me out. Topanga downs her cup of tea and says "Katy wouldn't permanently kick you out honey, she was probably just upset that her daughter is growing up and kissing boys now and all." I put my tea down on the coffee table and ask Topanga the Wise the question I came her for. "What the hell do I do?" She frowns at my choice of language and then says "Make up with Riley. That's your number one priority. She's been in her room with Farkle crying for hours and I didn't know what this was about. She wouldn't even tell me! And then talk to your mom, she loves you!" I doubt that shit is true, but I still thank her for the advice. I leave the apartment and get to my own apartment. I walk in and my mom looks at me and turns away. "I'm sorry for everything okay. You're just upset that I'm growing up. Please listen to me Mom." She walks to me and hugs me. "I'm sorry honey, I was just angry at that time. I understand now though. " she tells me as she holds me close. I start crying again for like the thousandth time today and she says "It's okay Maya honey." I nod through my tears and tell her "Mom I need to talk to Riley." She nods and says "Go ahead, I'm making dinner."
As soon as Topanga lets me into their home, I walk fast to Riley's home and knock. I hear nothing. I open it and see her sitting on her bay window next to Farkle. Close to Farkle. What the hell did I miss? "Riles, I'm so sorry, I was just, I don't even know, not thinking?" Farkle looks at Riley and I think I hear him ask her if she should go. She nods and she walks to me. "I accept your apology." She smiles a sad smile and I pull her into a hug. That was strangely easy.
"Now let's catch up with all this Farkle jazz." I say with a smile as we walk to the bay window.
