The Unexpected

What Do I Do Now?

Finn's POV

Oh god, why did I tell at her like that? I knew she's going through a rough patch, yet I still screamed at the top of my lungs...

See, I've known Maya for a while, since freshman year. Yet, I've never really got to know her past. When I was friends with that group, I was interested in Riley, so I guess I just never asked the questions about Maya since I was too distracted.

I only talk about not knowing Maya's past because when looking at those fresh wounds, I not only saw those, but scars. Some of them I knew weren't even scars from cutting. I only know that since I myself have had my run with abuse, but the question is still there, why?

What is going on in her life that would make her want to do that? Oh God, I couldn't be the reason, could I? Just thinking that made me sick to my stomach...

Maya's POV

Once Lucas left, I felt a sense of guilt. I mean, I like both Finn and Lucas. Still, something inside me wanted to say, "Oh no, Finn and I aren't dating! I'm all your Lucas!"

Then, another voice inside said, "Hell yeah I'm dating Finn! We were made for each other, so go away!"

God, why do I always mess things up...

Lucas's POV

After Maya threw me out, I decided to head home. On the way there, I cried to myself. I know it's not very "manly", but with all the emotions I've been hiding the past couple weeks, it's been hard.

Being the "face" of the group, as Farkle says, everyone expects me to be the strong one. The one who keeps a brave face at all times, yet, that's not me at all!

I cried myself to sleep every night when I knew Maya was hurting. Back in Texas, I was always angry, lashing out at others. Now, I'm crying since I just lost the girl of my dreams because I was too late...

Riley's POV

Ever since Lucas broke to with me, I've been contemplating everything.

I probably shouldn't have talked to Peter in secret, I probably shouldn't have even looked at him because of what he did to Maya.

Flashback

I was on a date with Lucas, our one year anniversary. We were celebrating at a fancy Italian restaurant when I got a call. The callers ID said, "PEACHES 🍑" so I knew I had to pick it up. Maya knew where I was, so she wouldn't have called unless necessary.

"Hey peaches, what's up?" I asked, excusing myself from dinner.

All I could hear was a couple sniffles, "I was at home, bored out of my mind. So, I thought "hey, why not say hi to my boyfriend?" since you are on your date."

"Yeah." I replied, showing her I understood.

"So I walked over to his apartment knowing his parents were both gone for the weekend." she paused to sigh, "I knocked on his door, no answer. Knocked again, no answer. Then I remembered the key he gave me. So I walked in hearing someone, I walked closer to where the nosie was coming from and see Peter under a shirtless girl!" she wailed though the phone.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry honey! I'll be there as soon as I can, I'm sure Lucas will understand!" I finished, hanging up before she could protest.

I went back to my table with a look of disappointment on my face, Lucas knew something was wrong.

"That was Maya," I began, "She called to inform me that she caught Peter cheating on her." I said.

"What?!?" Lucas shouted, causing some stares, "That son of a... Where is she now?" he asked.

"Home, I told her you would understand if we had to raincheck."

"Well, it's Maya, even I want to see how she is." he calmly stated.

End of flashback

God, I should've known then that he liked her by the way he reacted! I'm such an idiot!

All the sudden, my one person conversation is stopped by a tap at the window.

It couldn't be Maya, she's with Finn and I know for a fact it's not Lucas, he stopped coming after the hallway incident.

"Farkle?" I questioned as I open my window.

"Hey, we haven't really talked and I know Lucas wasn't the only one who got hurt after the break up. How are you?" he sat down next to me in the bay window.

"To be honest, I feel dumb." I confessed, "How could I have been so stupid to not see the feelings he has for Maya? It's pretty obvious he likes her." I say, looking down in shame.

"Hey, it's not your fault! Lucas didn't know I liked you until I told him!" Farkle told me, moving my face to look at his with his hands.

I look at him with shock, "You, you, like me?" I wondered.

"How could you not? You're everything I've ever wanted and more!" he said while leaning in just the slightest bit.

"See, that just makes me feel even more idiotic since I didn't see that either." I tell him, playing along with his game by scooting in too.

"Well, now that you know, what are you going to do?" he asked me, raising a brow.

With that, I grab both his cheeks, look him in the eye, then down at his lips, then back. Give him a mischievious smirk, a kiss him.

"That." I say, pulling away after a long passionate kiss.
