Fate

Chapter 9

Lucas POV

The sound of alarm clock going off at 6AM woke me up out of a peaceful slumber. I smiled when I noticed I was still holding Maya in my arms. I really hated to leave her and if I could stay with her I would. I moved the blonde hair out of her face which caused her to stir a little bit but instead of waking up she cuddled into me more. 

"Maya, it's time to wake up." I whispered.  

"I don't want to cause that means you are leaving me." she mumbled. 

"We already have been over this. You know I have no choice." I replied and I felt so bad that I was hurting her. 

"This sucks." she said before rolling off me.  "Can't we just cuddle for a little while longer?" 

"I'd love nothing more than to cuddle with you beautiful but I really don't have time." I sighed. "i tell you what we can cuddle on the way to the airport."

"Still going to suck." she mumbled. 

I sat up so I could get out of bed but before getting up I looked down at her and brushed my hand along her cheek. "It does suck and you know if I could change it I would."  

"I just don't understand why you didn't tell me about being on probation in the of the many times that we talked or texted." I replied. 

"Maya, I really really like you. I was so scared that if you found out that you wouldn't want anything to do with me anymore. I didn't want to lose you." I replied. 

She sat up and placed her hand on my cheek, "It's okay I understand. I like you too but you got to know you will never lose me. " she replied and the next thing I knew her lips were crashing into mine.  

"I love you, Maya." 

"I love you too." she replied. "You better go get dressed. I don't feel like doing much today so I'm going to bum it to the airport." 

After getting dressed Maya and I made our way out to the living room where her Mom was waiting for us. I was so glad that Katy was going to be with her when I left because I had a feeling she was going to be even more of a mess after I was gone.  Since my flight left at 8:00AM we had to pretty much get going now.

"You ready?" her mom asked as we entered the living room. 

"I'm not ready but lets go." she said as she walked towards the door.

"Maya, take my keys. We'll be down in a minute. Get the car started for us okay?" Katy through the keys to Maya who caught them then turned around and left. turned to face me. "Don't worry she'll be fine. I'll make sure to get her through this Lucas." 

"Thanks Katy, I'm really worried about her. I wish I could stay." I sighed.  

"You mean you wan to stay here?" she asked confused. 

"Yes. I want nothing more than to be with Maya but I really have no other choice. I'm on probation. Luckily since I such good behavior and have done nothing wrong the let me come out to visit my baby sister and Mom." 

"Why are you on probation?" she curiously asked. 

"It was really stupid thing for me to do. One of the times I was visiting in Texas I got drunk with two of my friends at lake which is a hang out spot. A boy that I knew made an ignorant comment about my mom basically calling her a whore and prostitute insinuating that's what she does for a living since he knew she was a single mom who was trying to make a living to raise my sister and I." 

"Wow, that's so messed up, Lucas." Katy replied. 

"Yeah I wish I could change everything so I could be with Maya." 

Katy and I started making our way out to the car. "There just might be a way Lucas. It's bullshit that you are even on probation to begin with. The drinking was a huge factor but they could have left you off with a warning or made you pay a fine." 

"What do you mean there may be a way?" 

"I'm going to talk to Topanga. She's one of the top lawyers in NYC. Maybe she could figure out a way to get you off your probation sentence. It's not like you've done anything since then. Especially since you are able to come visit out of state." 

"You would really do that for me?" I asked shocked. 

"I'd do anything for my daughter and I see how happy she is with you. If that means asking my best friend to help me bring her boyfriend home then I'll do it." she said with a smile. 

"Thanks Katy that really means a lot." 

"Don't mention it and look let me talk to Maya okay?" she replied. 

"I won't say anything to her." I answered. 

"By the way put your cell phone number into my phone. I know you are worried about Maya so I'll keep in touch with you." she said as she handed me her phone while were in the elevator.  I handed Katy back her phone and walked over to the car to grab my thinks out of Maya's trunk.  Maya was sitting in the backseat. 

Maya POV

I really just wanted to go back to bed and sleep forever. Why couldn't this all be a dream? I was struggling so much with him leaving. He has completely stolen my heart. I was upset with him at first but now I'm just sad. He is the best thing to ever happen to me and now he's leaving me. I didn't realize how much I'd fall for him until we spent time together while he was hear. After he left my room I got up out of my bed and threw a pair of sweat pants on and noticed his t-shirt laying on the ground. I picked it up and was over taken by the scent of his cologne. It smelled like him. I wasn't letting this go so I put it on. I put my hair in a messy bun before leaving my room. I honestly didn't care how I looked at this point. I met him just as he was coming out of the bathroom. He looked at me with a grin and told him I looked good in his shirt. He told me to keep it with him and I told him I planned to.  I could tell by the look on my moms face this morning after walking into the living room that she was concerned about me.  I just wanted to get the hard port over with. She threw me her keys and I made my way down to her car to turn it on and get it warm. I got in the back seat and leaned against the window frame. I looked out at the snow covered city and a tear slipped down my cheek. It made me think of the fun time we had Ice Skating. I wiped the tear away and sniffled when I noticed that he was coming. I was hoping he didn't notice when he got in the back seat with me. 

He took one look at me and sighed "Are you crying again?" I just nodded at him and wiped another tear off my face.  

"You got a cheer up baby girl." Mom said as she pulled out of the drive way. 

"Yeah I guess so." I mumbled.

"Come here." he said motioning for me to come lay on him. I didn't say anything I just cuddled into him in the back seat. "I promise it will get better" he said before placing a small kiss on my forehead.

I was silent the remainder of the ride to the airport. I was dreading this moment so much. It felt so good being in his arms.. I didn't want this moment to end but I knew we didn't have much time before it would.
