Not the Only One /GMW/

Part 5

Lucas slowly enters the park. Maya is there with a knife, crying with her wrist bleeding.

"Maya!" Lucas shouts.

Maya sees him and quickly turns away, stifling  her cries and covering her wrists.
Lucas sits next to her and faces her towards  him.

"Maya." Lucas says in a sad, comforting tone.

"How'd you find me? Why did you find me?"

"You've been strangely distant, and wearing long sleeves for a few days, even though it's hot. I knew something was up."

"You found me, and now you can leave thanks for stoppin by." Maya says as she turns away.

"But-"

"Please, just go."

Lucas gets up from the bench and starts to walk away.
Maya's cries couldn't be stifled anymore, so she cried and started to make another cut in her arm.
Lucas ran back and snatched the knife out of her hand.

"Hey! I was using that!"

"I can't bare to see you like this. It hurts me. Why are you doing this?"

"Why do you care?" Maya spat.

"I care because you are my friend. You have always been there for me, and I would be honored to do the same." Lucas said gazing into Maya's blue eyes.

Maya started to cry into Lucas' shoulder.

"I'm sorry. I just, it hurts that nobody cares about me and all my troubles."

"It's ok Maya, I care. That's why I came."

Maya continues to cry into Lucas' shoulder until she couldn't cry anymore.

"Lucas?"

"Yeah Maya?"

"I love you." Maya said with hope in her eyes.

There was a long pause.

"I.. I"
