She's The Only One That Gets Me (A Rilaya Story ♡)

Chapter 18.

Maya's POV.
Sunday, 10:50pm.
I would say I'm surprised but I'm not. Every time things are going good for me, something bad happens. It's a ongoing process but for some reason I still have hope that things might change for the better but they never do. I wonder why I still have that little bit of hope. Maybe it's because of Riley and maybe it's not, I don't know. All I know is that I don't want Riley to see me like this, Of course I know she will be there for me but I'm tired of getting her involved in all my messes. I guess I'll text Farkle and see if I can spend the night at his house.

Maya: Hey.
Farkle: Hey, what's up?
Maya: Can I come over?
Farkle: Maya, its 11:00pm.
Maya: I know what time it is. Can I come over or not?
Farkle: Sure, just knock lightly when you get here. Is everything okay?
Maya: Are things ever okay with me?
Farkle: Yes?
Maya: Nice joke. See you in 20 minutes.

Maya gets to Farkle's house and knocks on his front door waiting for him to answer. Farkle opens the door with a look of worry on his face, Maya just walks right in and asks "Where can I sleep?" Farkle responds saying "In my room. I didn't actually tell my parents you were coming over, maybe because it's almost 12am" Maya looks at him with an annoyed face and walks upstairs.

As Farkle helps Maya make up the small couch in his room, he still waits for her to tell him what's wrong. Maya grabs 2 pillows and blankets and puts them on the couch, still not saying one word. Farkle couldn't help it anymore so he asks her what's wrong once again.

Maya: IM FINE! Can I please go to sleep now?
Farkle: You're not fine.
Maya: I'm going to sleep.
Farkle: What happened?
Maya: It's really nothing.
Farkle: It's something.
Maya: You're not gonna let this go are you?
Farkle: Of course not. I do care you know.
Maya: Fine, Its my mom.
Farkle: You told her about you and Riley?
Maya: Yeah and she um.. She um.. I really don't want to talk about this
Farkle: Maya, don't cry. It's okay we don't have to talk about it.
Maya: I'm sorry. It just happened a few hours ago, I haven't stopped thinking about what she said.
Farkle: You don't have to tell me.
Maya: It's okay. I went home and everything was fine you know? Me and mom were talking and I thought it was about time I told her about Riley and me. So, I started telling her about how we were more than friends and she said she didn't understand what I meant by that so I continued by saying me and Riley love each other and we've been dating for about 2 months and then she um... said she thought I liked boys because I liked Lucas and I told her that was nothing! Me and Riley love each other and us being together is completely normal and she said that it's not normal.. I just can't believe she said that.
Farkle: Maya, I'm so sorry. Maybe she was just surprised.
Maya: Of course she was surprised! I completely understand her being surprised but that doesn't mean she had to say that! Farkle: You're right. I'm sorry she said that to you. You don't deserve that. Have you talked to Riley since it happened?
Maya: No I don't want to worry her.
Farkle: She worries about you regardless because she loves you.
Maya: I don't want her to worry about me.
Farkle: You should call her.
Maya: No. It's late, I'll see her tomorrow.
Farkle: Maya, you always do this. Every time something bad happens, you shut people out. Don't do this.
Maya: Goodnight Farkle.
Farkle: Okay fine. Goodnight.

Tuesday, 8:00am.
As Maya wakes up, she remembers she isn't home and this instant sadness overcomes her. The fact that Maya has to go from one friends house to the other makes her think she's so pathetic and she wonders why they haven't given up on her yet because she's so close to giving up on herself. Maya grabs her phone and sees 5 missed calls and 3 text messages from Riley. She ignores them and puts her phone back on the charger. Maya meant what she said about not wanting Riley to worry about her and she doesn't want to talk to her while she's still heartbroken because even if Riley doesn't see her, she can always tell when Maya is sad, even over the phone.
