I'm Not That Girl(Maya/Lucas/Riley)

Chapter 36.

Maya's POV-

Riley and I had become quite close over the recent months.

Charlie and I had remained friends, and Lucas.... he was still mad at me and I didn't know how to change that..

Afterall this time he had decided to go back to Texas.

Highschool had almost finished and I wasn't sure on what I wanted to do afterwards.

I mean, of course, I did want to go and have further education but I couldn't stand not being as close to Lucas as I had been before, he was my best friend and now we felt like strangers.

Charlie had moved on from me, he was now dating a girl named Chai who doesn't like me or Riley very much..

My future was not written. I had no clue on what to do, or where to go. Riley already knew what she wanted to do, she wanted to follow in her mothers footsteps by helping people and becoming a lawyer.  Charlie wanted to be an engineer and me... I was probably going to be like my mother and do similar jobs to her.

I looked outside of my window and saw Lucas putting things inside of his car, preparing to go to Texas, although times had changed I was going to miss him a lot...

I opened the window.  "Hey, Lucas!" I yelled from the window.

Lucas looked away from his car and at me. "Maya? Oh, hey." He said, walking towards my window.

"Hey, good luck with texas." I said, smiling at him.

Lucas smiled a little, but it wasn't the same smile I had been used too. His normal smile was a big wide smile which made his eyes shine and I could tell he was truly happy.

Now he looked like his happiness was a pure lie.

"Thanks, hart." Said Lucas. "So, how have you been lately? "

"Good, but I have missed you. " I shyly admitted.

Lucas nodded slowly.  "I have missed you too. Good luck with life, Maya.."

"You too.."

Lucas began walking back to his car and I closed the window and walked over to where my mom was sat.

"Hey mom."

"Hey babygirl, what's up with you?" Said my mom, patting the seat for me to sit next to her.

"Nothing... it's just.. Lucas, I miss him."

"Honey, if you miss him you should tell him. I know you love him, Maya. Strong feelings like that don't go away as easily as you think, believe me." She then threw her car keys at me. "Find him and tell him how you feel before you regret it."

I nodded.

Was I actually going to do this?

Drive after him?

He had to know how I felt even if he hated me, at least I would feel better knowing that he knew about my feelings towards him.

I walked upstairs quickly and grabbed my bag and placing a few things inside such as clothes;  shoes; hair brush; tooth brush; tooth paste; and whatever I needed to last me through my trip to texas.

I zipped up my bag and raced down the stairs and headed into the kitchen, grabbing some basic food for me to eat during the journey.

My life was about to change drastically...

A part of me felt really happy that I was going back to Texas and seeing Lucas and his family.

But another part of me dreaded seeing Lucas and telling him how I truly felt.

He probably thought that he didn't have to listen to me of all people because of what happened with Charlie.

Charlie was the game changer.  He tested my relationship with Lucas, and we were  younger then.  Barely knew a single thing about relationship,  and now that I knew what a good relationship was I wanted this all with Lucas once again. I missed him an awful lot, despite what has gone on.

I put the food in my bag and hugged my mother goodbye as I walked out of the door,  closing the front door behind of me as I walked towards my mom's car.

I put the keys into the car door and sat down in the drivers seat. I started the car off and started driving, it was going to be a long car drive but it was worth it.

This was going to be a new start,  no matter what the outcome was.

And whatever it was, I was prepared for it in someways.

It's like riding a bike, you're never prepared on your first attempt but after a few go's on it you are soon finding it easy to ride.

This was alike to what I was going through.

Although parts of me wasn't prepared, I knew something good was going to come out of it. I only had to try and ride my bike again, and keep trying until I got some kind of positive impact from it.

This is the world, and everyday I am still meeting it because I am being challenged with new challenges each and every day but the only thing I knew was; I was ready.
