GMW MAYA'S REALIZIATION

Chapter 20

Shawn's POV:
It was 2 a.m and I was watching mi fleas tv. I was still thinking about mink-farkle. What happened to him....? And why did he not like the name Minkus anymore....? Is it bad....? Is someone bullying him....? I sat there and turned to see Farkle sleeping on the couch. He looked tired and frustrated and mostly sad. Poor kid. Then his eye started twitching. What....? He started mumbling something and then his face went pale. I walked over to him. He began thrashing and squirming and shouting "no more please! I'll listen to the stupid thing just stop!" I realized he was having a nightmare and I started shaking him. "FARKLE!!WAKE UP!!" He shot upright with his hair sticking to his forehead from sweat. He looked clearly shooken. "Hey you ok kid...?" I ask sincerely. He opens his mouth to speak but shakes his head and turns away from me. "Farkle please tell me" I beg. I looked around the apartment trying to come up with a way to get to him. I looked back over at him and saw him covering his face. "......Farkle...?" He sniffed and I realized he was crying. "Are you crying....?" I asked whispering. He shook his head and said "no-I'm just-sweating through my eyes...." He said denying the fact that he was crying. I chuckled and said "I see you still have your humor....." He sniffs again and gives a light chuckle. I smile atleast seeing him chuckle. But he continued to sniff so I'm guessing he went back to crying or 'sweating through his eyes'. Then I saw Maya walk in groggily walking over to the kitchen. I jump up to hide Farkle. "Maya?" I ask. She turns to me and says "I can't sleep I-I'm worried Shawn, my heart is like sinking into my chest right now....something is wrong with Farkle is he sleeping?" She asks. I avoid the question. She gasps and walks over behind me where Farkle was. He was covering his face. "Farkle....?" She said softly rubbing his back. Maya.....she could probably get it out of him. Farkle didn't reply. But he made the mistake of sniffing and Maya automatically knew. "Farkle are you crying...?" She asks. He shook his head. "Farkle...." She said in a warning/caring voice. His shoulders shook and he nodded. Maya gasped and hugged him. I went to get tissues. I grabbed a box and walked back. Maya then pulled Farkle face out of his hands. He had tears in his face. He quickly wiped then and said "I'm....fine....." Maya shook her head and said "no....your not...." She hugged him. I think that's what broke him. He then started crying again. This time it was noticeable. His shoulders were shaking. I felt horrible, I sat behind him and rubbed his back. "Farkle tell me....please...." She begged. He shook his head and said "no I - am overreacting" she shook her head and said "nonsense- they hit you pretty hard your bruises are purple....there are even cuts on your back....." Farkle and Maya were still hugging. Why won't he let us in....?! Then Farkle mumbled "you-you guys can't say anything......." Me and Maya realized he was gonna tell us. We nodded our heads. He separated from Maya's hug and said "he-he and I got in an argument.....he got mad because I cursed at him....and I don't know what happened but he snapped.....I felt like a dog you guys....he trained me to listen to a stupid bell!! Everytime I hear that stupid bell I go into like this trance and I have to follow his orders. So he rang the bell and I overcame it and slapped it out of his hands and crushed it---he slapped me,then punched me, then kicked me, I don't know what to do...." He said as tears were falling down his eyes once again. This was horrible.... "Who?" Maya asked shakily. Farkle looked around as if someone would hear then he whispered "my-dad" Maya lost it. She began to cry and Farkle hugged her. Minkus?!?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM....?!? This is why Farkle didn't want me calling him Minkus anymore.......I-i can't believe he would do that to Farkle!! "You guys can't say a word-or he will do more" Farkle's says breaking the silence. We nodded. "We should sleep guys...." I say trying to get everyone out of this depression thing. Maya nodded and got up. Farkle grabbed her hand and asked softly "can-you stay.....with me...?" Maya looked like her heart was melting.

Maya's POV:
"Can-you stay.....with me...?" Farkle asked. His eyes were so big and innocent and filled hurt, my heart melted. I can't believe his own dad would do that....!i nodded keeping in the tears. I slowly climbed onto the couch right next to him so he wouldn't get hurt. Once I got situated I started playing with Farkle's hair. "Farkle....." I say. He looks up at me with his wide eyes....."yea Maya...?" He replies. I kiss his temple and say "I-love you" he smiles weakly and says "I love you too" and he closes his eyes. I continued to play with his hair for a while to make sure he was asleep,then I fell asleep. This was the saddest day I have experienced in a long time.
