Texas Shadows

Chapter 5

MAYA'S POV

"I... I shouldn't have come" I turned to leave. "Maya, wait" I turned back around, I hadn't realized it, but I was crying. His face started to blur and the tears fell more quickly now. He stepped outside and gave me a hug. We just stood there, me crying, him holding me.

He brought me inside. My hair was a mess my clothes were dirty, I looked homeless. I was sitting on the couch looking around at all the pictures on the wall. He was staring at me. His voice broke the silence.

"Its been a long time" I knew what he said, but he meant something else. "Sure has" I guess what I said meant something else too. "Why are you here, you dont text, you dont call." He started sounding more angry. I couldn't handle it, not more anger.

"I know and I should have" I peeled my eyes away from the wall and looked at him. "I just couldn't be there anymore. Around him and Riley. Zay and Smackle are to oblivious to even understand. And Farkle? Hes supposed to know me."

I turned back, staring at the large window in the front of the house. Even though I wasnt looking at Josh, I knew he was confused. "Maya tell me what happened" I didnt think. Just talked. I all came out like pouring rain. Some spots made me cringe or cry but he never moved just listened.

"Wow" I didnt know what to think. "So your here because of Lucas?" My head felt numb. My phone was still clenched in my hand, every few seconds it would vibrate. "Im not crazy"
I felt crazy.

"I know. But it sounds like your here because your mad at yourself for not telling Lucas how you really feel." Before I could say anything else he continued. "And your mad at Farkle and Riley for not realizing sooner. And your mad at Lucas because he kissed you." My eyes filled with tears again. My stomach felt heavy.

"Their my best friends" My voice cracked as I talked and he turned his body so he was facing forward as well. I layed my head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around me. It wasnt long before I fell asleep.

JOSH'S POV

At first I was confused, nervous almost. She looked scared and I would have sent her away but she needed something. Comfort or reassurance everything was going to be okay.

I didn't know if she was high or just upset but she fell asleep fast, so I didn't wake her. I already knew she slept like a rock so I slipped from her grasp. Hoping she didn't wake up. I carried her to my bedroom. I grabbed a blanket from the closet and made myself comfortable on the couch.

The alarm on my phone woke me as it did every morning. Remembering I slept on the couch, I felt stiff but got up anyway. Luckily it was Saturday, so I didn't have to go to work. I went out to get breakfast, leaving a note on the nightstand in case Maya woke up.

(a/n) So my friend told me to update twice today so I will so tell me what you think.
