One Mistake~One Miracle

Chapter 39: Where life leads us...

Maya's POV

Well it's finally fall break and let me just tell you this much, college, is hard! College is also very challenging. Lucas is succeeding in everything but I'm not doing so well. I feel like I should just give up. But I don't want to do that because now Tyler and Chloe look up to me and Lucas. Figuratively and literally!

Also we have this thing, every Saturday Lucas and I let Riley, Farkle, Smackle, Zay, and Vanessa come over to our apartment to chill and hang out and do their laundry. (Since we have a washing machine in our apartment!) We all don't really get to talk as much as we did in high school so Saturdays are when we get to talk and just hang out. We usually just get pizza and watch a movie and just spend time together.

Well today was one of those days and we were all hanging out. We were talking about our future and everything else. I'm scared about what the future has in store for me. And honestly I don't want to find out. Farkle tells me that college is a big bump in the road and if we over come this, the bumps we face in life will get smaller and smaller. I believe anything Farkle says so I don't doubt him and his master mind.

Let me update you on everyone's lives.

Lucas~Lucas is playing baseball and succeeding in college. He is a pitcher on the NYU baseball team. When he isn't at school or practice he is with me and the twins. Every night before the babies go to sleep Lucas always sings to them a lullaby.

Riley~Riley is still her same old optimistic self. She is doing ok in school but comes to me when she is going through a rough time. She and I always have breakfast together on Mondays at my house because that is just a tradition we have.

Farkle~Farkle is still the smartest one in the class. He helps me pick up the babies every Tuesday because he knows Tuesdays are my hardest days. He hangs out with me and the babies until Lucas come back from practice. Then we all eat dinner together.

Smackle~Smackle is also the smartest one in her class. She comes over to our apartment every Wednesday to watch me paint. She is learning about the human body and why it does certain things. I just think she comes over to talk to me.

Zay~Zay loves buying things for the babies. He was on the baseball team in the beginning of the year but he broke his foot so he can't play anymore. He comes over to our house every Thursday to talk to Lucas and I about baseball and the babies.

Vanessa~Vanessa by far is one of the sweetest people I know. She is studying to be a pedestrian and she loves the babies. She comes over every Friday to spend time with me and the babies. Lucas usually has practice late so she keeps me company.

Maya~I'm doing ok. School's hard but I have a great tutor named Josh Matthews who helps me a lot. I love painting and spending time with my babies. Everyday of the week someone comes over except for Sundays. Every one of them tells me and Lucas not to tell anyone they come over because they don't want anyone to get jealous. So we don't! Sundays Lucas and I usually just take walks with the babies and spend time together as a family. Sundays are my favorite days. I mean don't get me wrong, I love having pancakes with Riley, walking with Farkle, painting with Smackle, shopping with Zay, and taking to Vanessa, but I love spending time with my family. That's what Lucas, Tyler, Chloe, and I are now, a family. 

Back to the story.

Anyways we were all hanging out on Saturday night when we started talking about what we are going to do. Lucas right now wants to play baseball. Riley wants to be a lawyer. Farkle still wants to take over the world, but for now he wants to be a scientist. Smackle wants to be a doctor. Zay wants to be an IT Consultant. Vanessa wants to be a pedestrian. And I want to be a Painter and maybe an English teacher. Oh no! Tell me I'm not going to end up like Mr. Matthews!

Anyways, we honestly don't know where life is going to lead us. Riley wants us to stay together but I have a family to take care of. Zay wants us to all be happy and do what we want and right now some of us want the same thing as he does and the same thing as Riley does. I want to stay together with my friends but I also want to be happy. I also think that sometimes we all just need space.

Maybe in a couple of years we will all be together, or maybe we won't. Maybe close friendship will break apart, or maybe they will grow closer. What ever is going to happen I don't want to know it until it comes. I want to take life one step at a time.
