Seventy Eight

Maya's POV

My memory started to come back to me while I was laying in the hospital bed. I looked to my right and saw Lucas sleeping next to me in a chair, with Riley and Farkle on the other side, all sleeping.

"It's okay to admit it Maya I underst-"

That's when I swung at Bradley. I wasn't intending to make contact with his jaw but it just happened. He stumbled back a few feet and I heard Lucas call my name. I was to fueled with rage that I completely ignored him.

Bradley got back up, grabbing his jaw and feeling the blood dripped from his mouth. Missy stood there with on hand in her jacket and when I eyes her she started to flinch.

"Maya baby why don't you just-" I swung again, fueling my anger and this time he hit the ground with a large thud. I start to walk over to him but Missy screams out of the blue. She pulls out a gun and points it at me, pulling the trigger.

Lucas' POV

When I saw Maya punch Bradley my first reaction was what the hell is happening?! My second was holy shit my girlfriend is awesome!

When I saw Missy pull out the gun and point it at Maya I freaked out and started to run to her. But I was too far away and Missy had already pulled the trigger. Maya fell to the ground with her hand grabbing the side of her stomach.

Riley screamed. Like really loud. But I was so shocked and pissed off at the same time that I didn't feel the need to scream. Missy dropped the gun right away and I rushed over to her and the contraption laying on the ground.

"WHAT THE FUCK MISSY?! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BRING A GUN TO THIS?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! WHY DID YOU SHOOT MAYA?! ARE YOU INSANE?!" I shout at her kicking the gun to the side of a building.

Riley rushes to Maya's side immediately, along with Zay, Farkle, and Smackle, and I follow soon after. Bradley stands up cautiously and when he sees Maya laying on the ground in a pool of blood he shouts at Missy.

I didn't hear much of what he was saying because I was too busy dialing 9-1-1.

Riley and I road in the back of the ambulance with Maya while Zay drove Farkle and Smackle to the hospital. We were each holding one of her hands in the ambulance but when they wheeled Maya away from us my heart sank and Riley's broke.

She cried on my shoulder until Farkle showed up a few minutes later.

"What are we going to do if she doesn't make it." She asks him and Farkle looks over to me with a worried expression on his face.

"Are you kidding me? Maya is the strongest person we know, she is going to be just fine." Farkle assures her and she sniffles into his shirt.

Mr. and Mrs. Matthews walk through the doors about ten minutes later. As soon as Riley sees them she gets up and they both give her a tight hug. Maya's mom walks in right after that, her eyes red and puffy with mascara running down her cheeks.

The nurse told everyone that only three people should go in to see Maya, considering the condition that she was in. They all agreed that it should be Riley, Farkle, and I, even though I thought Maya's mom should be in there.

We were sitting there silently for hours it felt like, with the clock reading 1:17 am. Riley fell asleep with her head on Farkle's shoulder and I was on the other side of her bed watching Maya's heart monitor until sleep got the best of me.

Maya's POV

When I woke up in the hospital bed I just sat there. Remembering that Missy shot me in the side of my chest was enraging but it wasn't like I could just walk right out of here. I heard Riley shuffle a bit in her seat and when she opened her eyes she had the biggest smile on her face.

"Maya!" She gets up and hugs me slightly, careful not to hurt my side. Farkle and Lucas wake up immediately both with huge smiles. "I'm so glad you are okay."

I turn my head to face Lucas and grin. "Howdy Huckleberry." He gets up kisses the top of my hair.

"Maya, you scared the hell outta me." Lucas replies and I shrug my shoulders.

"Sorry, but I didn't really have a choice." Farkle gets up and gives me have a hug as Riley did. He hands me a teddy bear that's wearing a biker jacket and sunglasses, I smile.

"His name is Rebel. We thought it would be perfect for you." Farkle grins and I chuckle slightly. A sharp pain sends sparks of lightning up my side and I wince in pain.

"What's wrong?! Are you okay?! I'll go get a doctor." Lucas looks at me with concern and he starts to walk to the door but I call out to him.

"Lucas it's fine. They said that this was going to happen. I just have to be careful." He smiles at me loosely.

"When did they say you will get better?" Riley asks with a tear falling down her cheek.

"Soon Riles.... soon," I say as Lucas grabs my hand over my bullet wound and they all huddle around me.

I just hope that what I told Riley is true.
