It's About Time (GMW - Joshaya)

Chapter 4

Maya's POV

I hid in my room for a while as I got ready to go out tonight. I tried on three outfits before settling on one. It was one of my favorite dresses. It was a two-piece dress with a sleek black bottom and a white top covered in lace.

Just as I began to put on my makeup, Riley peeked her head in my room.

"Hey Peaches! What do ya think? "she said giving me a timid smile and as she spun around.

"Damn Riley, Lucas is gonna be scared that you're going out like that. You look hot."

Riley laughed, " Trust me he doesn't have to worry one bit, I'm not even going to be giving guys a second look tonight."

We sat and talked about Lucas for a while while I finished my makeup. Then finally, she brought Josh back up. 

"Ya know. If Uncle Josh saw you in this dress, he would wish you were all his." 

I shot her a knowing look and she knew to back off the Josh talk for the night. 

"Fine. But this conversation is not over Maya."

"Come on...let's take some pictures before we go out," I said.

I mean Riley had a point. I could definitely make Josh want me in this dress. So after we took a million different pics, some selfies and some mirror pics, we headed out of our apartment. 

I definitely was going to have to post a picture on Instagram from tonight. Just enough to show Josh what he is missing.

Riley and I finally reached her old house and we walked right in through the door. It's so weird to walk in through the front door instead of Riley's window.

Once everyone from earlier arrived, plus Smackle, we headed out to the street to see a party bus waiting for us. It was so cool. It had flashing lights, music blaring from the speakers, drinks, and a pole right in the middle. The pole was a little weird considering Topanga, my mom, and Amy were on this bus, but after a few drinks they were the first once to innocently dance with this pole.. 

I couldn't help but cry of laughter with Riley. It was such a rare sight to see them like this. 

Everything from this night was Snapchat worthy. There was dancing, karaoke, shots, pictures, etc. 

This was one of the most fun and carefree nights I have had in a while. I was so stressed about finding a job after graduation that I haven't had much time to enjoy myself. This was truly a night to remember. 

After an exhausting couple of hours, the party bus was en route to the Matthew's house to drop everyone off. 

Mostly everyone immediately left to go home or to their hotels. Riley and I agreed that we were too exhausted, and drunk for the matter, to go much further. So, we decided to sleep right in her old room like we used to. 

We struggled to walk from the party bus up to her old room but once we made it, we collapsed on the bed without even changing into pajamas. And just like that, Riley fell asleep. 

Me on the other hand, I couldn't sleep. I definitely drank way too much tonight. I'm regretting those last couple shots of fireball as I'm feeling a little nauseous right now. 

I carefully sat up and then stood, steading my self with the side of Riley's bed. The room was spinning. Slowly, I start to move. I needed water. I needed something to keep myself from getting sick. I stumbled into the kitchen as I reach for a glass.

"Maya?" a voice spoke quietly.

I nearly had a heart attack when I heard the voice in the darkness. I used the counter top as support and I turned around to face the voice.

And that's when I felt it coming up. I was about the throw up.
