Why Him?

The 9/11

As I assumed Riley still has not completely let this go. I just can't get myself to tell her. But I have to. She's my best friend and I will need her during this time more than ever. We go back to her house. To see something I never thought would happen. Topanga and Cory fighting. "Cory he's still your brother! You can't do this to him." Riley and I walk in. "Whats going on?" Riley asks. Topanga turns to us. "Girls can you please wait in your room." her and I walk to Riley's room. Riley motions for me to join her in the bay window. "Maya we need to talk." I sit down. "About what?" she crosses her legs. "You know what. What is bothering you Maya?" I feel the tears slipping down my face already. "I..... I just can't tell you yet." I run out of her room, back to the living room and out of the door. I get back to my apartment and lock the door. My moms working a late night shift and therefore won't be home for hours. After a lot of crying I recall what I heard Mrs. Matthews say when we walked in the door. What is Mr. Matthews doing to his brother?

I haven't really talked to Josh since I told him I was pregnant last week. So I decide to call him.

J: Hello

M: Hey Josh it's me.

J: Maya. Whats up?

M: Can you come over? Please.

J: Yeah I'll be over in ten.

I hang up the phone and wait for his arrival. Not too long later there's a knock at the door. I open it up to see Josh. "Hi." he smiles at me. "Hey." I invite him in and we sit on the couch. I am the first to speak. "Whats going on with you and Cory? I heard him and Topanga arguing about whatever it is." he shakes his head. "Its nothing." I place my hand on his. "Thats what I've been saying to Riley all day. But you and I both know its not true. Now what is it?" he sighs. "Cory is refusing to talk to me because of what I did to you." I throw my head in my hands. "This is all my fault. I'm so sorry." he pulls me into his arms. "Maya don't be sorry. This is just as much my fault if not all my fault." I shake my head. "You and I both know how that night went Josh. Its my fault." he kisses the top of my head. I remain in his arms for a period of time when I fall asleep. When I wake up he is gone, I am in my room, and there is a note on my hand. "You fell asleep so I brought you in here so you could be more comfortable. I'll see you tomorrow."
