Together [GMW]

Chapter 20

   I couldn't stay in there when they did it, so I said my possible goodbye before hand and honestly it broke me even more. Sure, my dad leaving broke me, but I've known Lucas my whole life and we've been there for each other.
   Ever since I came out I've been crying into Riley. She keeps saying she has hope and all that crap and I know she's just trying to get me to feel better, but it's not working. If anything it's making me cry more.
They were going to find out any second and honestly at this point.
   It's been five minutes and the door just opened. Riley had helped me stop crying a minutes ago. Mrs. Friar walked out crying. Shortly after El came out and told us what happened.
   "He can breath on his own," she said.
   "Whyd your mom come out crying," I asked.
   "Tears of happiness," she guessed. "He's alive and breathing, and they're going to do some tests for a couple hours. You should go live a little bit. Being locked away in a hospital isn't good for you," this time she's making eye contact with me. I guess she was right. The only time I didn't spend the entire day with Lucas was on December 11 for Shawn's birthday.
   "Okay," I agreed. I texted Farkle and Zay to meet Riley and I at Topanga's.

We got there twenty minutes later to see Zay and Farkle waiting for us.
"Hey," we all said hugging each other. Me hugging Zay and Riley hugging Farkle.
   "How's Lucas," Zay asked
   "He's alive, breathing on his own," Riley replied.
   "That's amazing," Farkle exclaimed.
   "Yeah," I give a small smile and sit down.
   "Ideas for what we're gonna do today," I asked. Zay suggested Paintball. Farkle suggested laser tag. Riley, even though she's a klutz, suggested ice skating. I chose paintball because I don't wanna be the reason Riley gets a concussion or breaks something. The reason I didn't choose laser tag was because it's Lucas and I's thing. I didn't really wanna revisit memories about the person I'm trying to get my mind off of.

We ended up going to this new zombie-themed paintball place across town and we actually had fun. We met up with some guys from the baseball team and their girlfriends, and we did boys vs. Girls. Surprisingly, we won the second game, only because I hid and shot a bunch of guys but the guys. Right now we're at a pizza place celebrating, both guys and girls.
   "Maya?" I turn around. Oh I forgot Josh is here, alone.
   "Hey." Zay told me he feels bad for ditching me like that, but to be honest I was fine.
   "Look Maya I'm sorry."
And I'm sorry I kissed Lucas looks like we both made the right choice. Instead I decide to lie, "It's fine. "
   "No its not I was a douche." Before I could say anything Zay came up to us.
   "What are you two talking about?"
   "Well-" I tried to say.
   "Oh look at the time Lucas should be done getting tested. We should get going." He linked ours arms and we walked outside.
   "What was that for."
He looked at me dead in the eyes and said, "no."
   "No what? I didn't even do anything."
   "You will not talk to him. You will not screw up Lucaya." I look at him confused.
   "First of all how am I gonna screw up? Second what's Lucaya?"
He sighs and shakes his head disappointedly. "Lucaya is Lucas and Maya combined and second you were gonna talk to Josh."
   "So what I like Lucas you know that."
   "Yeah but he doesn't and he likes you still. He probably wants to get back together." He grabbed my arm and we started to head to the hospital. Everytime I had tried to say something he told me to shut up. The only time he let me say something was when we were outside the of Lucas's room.
   "Why do you think he still likes me. We haven't talked for over two months?"
   "He told me he wants to get back together with you." I opened my mouth but I didn't know what to say because it would either come out bitchy or really sweet. So, instead I opened the door to the room and sat down on the couch. "Maya?"
   "Yes, Zay."
   "Do you still have feelings for him?"
   "No. I haven't since he let me go."
   "Then why didn't you say anything."
   "I didn't wanna be a bitch," I reply causing him to laugh.
   "I'm gonna go I just wanted to make sure that you got here safe."
   I stand up and give him a hug, " thanks."

*Three days later*

   I've only visited him for an hour the past couple days. I've been hanging out with friends more and more and as Zay says "being less antisocial."

I roll out of bed and look at my calendar. December 18 It's been a month I go into my closet and change into one of my comfy outfits. Half way through dressing my phone starts ringing. Quickly pull down my sweater and grab my phone to see Elizabeth. "Hello," I say into the phone.
"Hey. Maya are you busy?"
"No, not really. Why?"
"Somethings going on with Lucas and I can't get there right now so I need you to go there for me and wait."
