The Wait (A Lucaya Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-One: The Decision

A/N: By popular request to update early... enjoy.

Lucas POV

I felt like a complete ass.

I was about to make the worst decision of my life, and hurt the girl I loved.

But if I didn't do it now, it will just hurt her more later.

I love Maya Hart, always will.

But I just wasn't in love with her anymore.

I needed to break up with her.

I was sitting in the darkness of my room staring at the bright light of my phone.

I had already typed up what I was gonna send to her.

Yes, I know, breaking up over a text message.. Could I be any more of a dick?

I just couldn't face her. I couldn't stand in front of her and watch as I broke her heart and mine all in one fell swoop.

Before pressing send, all I could think about was Texas.

Maya Hart became the girl I knew I wanted that day. And I tried to trace my steps to, ever since then, where did I go wrong?

Firstly, I choose Riley over her.

Secondly, I lied to myself and told myself for three years that all the care I had in my heart for Riley was love. It wasn't.

Lastly, I became the boy who doesn't deserve Maya. I became the boy stupid enough to fall out of love with her. But why? Why did I have to wake up one day and realize that I didn't love the world's most beautiful and perfect girl?

I didn't know why or how, I just knew I did.

TEXAS; 3 YEARS BACK

"You make fun of me and tease me and call me names, but when it came to me wanted to ride the bull you couldn't watch me, in fear i'd get hurt. Why?"

"Lucas, I don't know, okay?"

"No Maya. I won't take that bullshit answer from you okay? we both know that you sure as hell are aware of  why you couldn't see me get hurt."

Maya grabbed my shirt, like she always did, and pulled me in close. "And why, do you care so much to know? I think we both know that you have some ideas in your little head as to why I care so much. News flash Ranger Rick, I don't like you. So, if that's what you think... Think again."

But she didn't let go. She always would've let go. Instead, she kept hold of me, and her eyes told me what she said was a lie. So, I did the first thing my mind told me to.

I took hold of her face with my hands and kissed her.

I kissed her long and hard. And my heart bumped through my chest so hard, I was convinced Maya could feel it. Because I could feel her heart beating too.

I always went back to that night. I went back to that night because I would know, three years later, that night was what changed it all for me.

When did it all change again?

I clicked my phone off.

I thought back to when I broke up with Riley. This was so much more different.

In the three months I was with Maya, I felt something so much more than I ever did with Riley.

With Maya, I had what I was waiting for with Riley for three years.

I clicked it on again.

The date read: 'Saturday, December 27th'

I unlocked my phone, re-read my demise for the 40th time.

Then, I hit send.

And just as the delivered noise filled the silence lingering in my room. I could faintly hear the sound of my own heart breaking.

I love you Maya Hart
