my song to you | lucaya

•One Last Time•

•So one last time, I need to be the one who takes you home. One more time,
I promise after that, I'll let you go.
Baby I don't care if you got her in your heart. All I really care is you wake up in my arms. One last time, I need to be the one who takes you home•

Ariana Grande; One Last Time.

"Hmm..." She nodded, continuing to braid her fingers into his hair, kissing him rather roughly.

But it was a good pain.

"Maya, really-"

"Shut the fuck up," She murmurs.

He shut up, and picked her up, pushing them into a wall.

He kissed her with so much meaning, and so much force.

He knew he loved her, but she didn't.

And he knew she loved him, he couldn't believe he hadn't caught on earlier.

But there was no time for regrets, he had Maya in his arms right now, and that's all he needed.

Her.

But of course, something had to ruin their moment.

A knock on the door.

"Who is it?!" Maya yelled, clearly annoyed.

Lucas placed her on her dresser, and waited expectantly to see Katy. That scared the hell of him though, Katy would hate him for the rest of her life.

But of course, a smirking boy walked into the room.

"Am I interrupting something?"

"Zay! What the hell!"

Zay smile only grew. "Just making sure I see the kiss this time, and don't worry, I brought my own popcorn."

"What the hell!" Lucas yelled.

Maya only laughed, and focused her attention on Zay instead of Lucas.

"Why are you here? It's three in the morning."

"Why is he here at three in the morning?"

Maya looked at him with a powerful meaning in her arm, also a threatening one.

If you don't leave, I will throw you out the window.

"We were sorting stuff out?"

"Sure," Zay said getting up, "Enjoy your 'discussion.' I guess I'll have to go see what Riley and Farkle are 'discussing.'"

"Riley and Farkle?" Lucas asks.

"Oh my goodness," Maya whispers to herself. "Riley."

Zay left with a feeling of victory, he loved being in control of their situation. He knew he wasn't, but why couldn't he pretend?

Maya jumped off the dresser, and she began to cry.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked, taking her hands.

"I can't believe this all just happened. It couldn't have all just happened. This is a dream," Maya murmured, sniffly.

"No. No it's not."

"Riley. We just broke all trust of innocent Riley! I just betrayed my best friend!"

"I just cheated on my girlfriend," Lucas muttered.

"Lucas," She mumbled, not knowing what else to say.

"Maya," Lucas replied. "Answer me one question."

"What question?" She whispered, staring out the window.

"What you said at the party, on the roof... Was it true?" He asked.

Her blue eyes seemed to reflect a dozen emotions.

"Y-yes... Yes it was."

Lucas smiled, and moved her head towards him.

"Maya."

"What?!" She yelled. "Don't ask anymore of me! This is to much! In one night, I've been cheated on, and broken up with, and kissed by my best friend's boyfriend! Oh yes, I told you the secret I've been keeping from the ski lodge!"

"I don't ask anything from you," He replied softly. "Just listen to what I have to say."

"O-okay."

"Maya Hart," He told her. "I love you."

Her blue eyes brightened, and she stared into her green ones.

"I promise you I do," He continued. "And I'm sorry it took me a while to tell you."

Maya stared at him for another long moment.

And then she hugged him.

And he hugged her back.

"Huckleberry," She cried.

"Maya, I love you," He said back.

"I love you too," She whispers. "But-"

"But what?" He asks.

"We can't be together," She replies.

And immediately understood why.

"Because of Riley."

She nodded her head into his chest, and he gripped her harder.

"I still love you," He told her. "Please know that."

"I love you too," She repeated. "But I love Riley, she's my sister, and I won't take the boy she loves away from her. I can't do that to her."

So they stayed in that hug, that special interlock, so meaningful, and so depressing.

And soon enough, Maya Hart fell asleep in the arms of the man she loved.

But she didn't wake up in them.

--------

It had been weeks since that night, and many things had progressed into the happening.

Lucas and Riley had fought for a whole week, but they sorted things out, and are as happy as ever.

Smackle and Farkle had broken up, which Maya didn't think ever would happen.

It was quite a random thing in fact. She walked up to him in the middle of lunch hour, and got in his face.

"The only in smart thing I've ever done in my life was to date you."

After this, Zay started to hit on Maya, just to make things worse.

Maya knew he didn't mean it, he just wanted to break Lucas and Riley up. Maya wanted that to happen of course, but she tried to convince herself that she didn't want that.

As long as Riley is happy.

As long as Riley is happy, you are happy.

And that was the only thing that kept Maya going, day by day.

Oh yes, and the one text she received every night, at 12 am.

Huckleberry 🐂😍: I love you.

•Why don't you stay, I'm down on my knees. I'm so tired of being lonely. Don't I give you what you need? When she calls you will go, there is one thing you should know. We don't have to live this way, baby why don't you stay•

Sugarland; Stay.
