Lucas -

"Now that was scary" I say to my friends "I don't get how they could even consider you" Riley replied. Mayas family's lawyer came up to us "sorry to have brought you up there Kid, but I knew they were building a case against you so we put it out early" she explains

"Thank you ma'am" I give a fake smile. "This whole thing is so fucked. We don't even know where her body is" Farkle states annoyed once the lawyer had left "well that must mean it's somewhere? If we look into it we can probably figure it out?" Smackle replied

"Case number 45612: Maya Hart to regroup in the court" someone called "how has it been 20 minutes" Zay mumbled quietly. We all entered the room again, sitting once the judge hit the gavel. "We need another Witness Miss Sinclair" The judge spoke. Mayas lawyer stood up reading through a paper on her sheet

"I call Topanga Matthews to the stand" she states. My mother confidently made her way to the front, giving her oath and sitting on the stand. "Mrs Matthews please state your current profession" the lawyer asked "I'm a lawyer" she replied

"Okay Mrs Matthews can you state why you have not taken on this case" she asked "because I'm related to Joshua Matthews, he is my brother in law" my mom replied "and your relationship to Miss Hart was..?" She questioned "Maya and my daughter Riley have been best friends since kindergarten, maya spent almost every morning and afternoon or weekend with us" she defended.

"Mrs Matthews how did you and your family end up in the warehouse?" She asked, actually, I wanted to know that myself.. "the night before Josh came over for dinner, he helped me cook. That night all 4 of us went into such a deep sleep. We don't even remember going to bed, but when we woke up, we were in a van. Josh was not in the van" she stated

"Your honour i present to you health examinations of Riley Matthews, August Matthews, Topanga Matthews and Cory Matthews which have all came back positive with a drug called Rohypnol or more commonly known, the date rape drug, in their systems. Lucas Friar simply doesn't live with them, and didn't have dinner with them that night" Mrs Sinclair announced, handing the sheets to the judge

"So your saying my client drugged his family but didn't drug himself? How would one do that? He ate the dinner that night am I correct?" Josh's lawyer stood up, protesting "Joshua served up the plates. I left the kitchen to go to auggies room to tell him dinner was ready. By the Rome we got back each plate was fished up" My mother replied

"Okay this just isn't going anywhere. Mrs Matthews you may take your seat. Jury have you reached a verdict" the Judge stated, allowing my mother to take a seat "we have your honour" she said

She clears her throat. "In the case of the commonwealth versus Joshua Matthews, We the Jury find the defendant Guilty of murder in the first degree" The jury spoke

Riley burst out in tears, small tears trickled down my face. The judge hit the gavel "Order" he demanded. The police officers hand cuffed Josh, pulling him out the courtroom.

I ran out the court room to my car eager to get away before I explode. I get to my car, slamming the door shut behind me, banging my fists against the steering wheel.

"Lucas you should come to ours for a few nights" My dad said opening the car door again, I shook my head furiously "No. no I need to be alone" I reply, closing the door on him and reversing out the parking spot

I pulled out of the car park in an attempt to get home   The roads were busy as usual. It began raining, ruining the mood even more. The death of Maya Hart could be the death of me.

The lights that i were at changed slowly from red to green, I pressed on the accelerate, my eyes flickering to the rear mirror for a quick few seconds, just long enough to see her sitting on my back seat.

She was wet. Her hair was wet her skin was blue she looked cold, her lips trembled a purple colour spread across them. I turned around, completely distracted and she was gone. I turned back as the beeping from other cars caught my attention

It was too late when the impact hit, a car swerving into the side of my car, pushing it into the side of a brick building. The air bags burst out in front of me and every window shattered, falling ontop of me. I took one last glance at myself in the mirror, blood dripping from my nose. A deep gash grew across my forehead.

I could've sworn I saw her, swore I saw Maya Hart sitting in my backseat.

No Point of view -

Lucas was rushed to the hospital by the ambulances that arrived at the scene. He broke his right arm and got a concussion, which explains why he saw Maya in his backseat.

He sat in hospital for just under a week, Riley, Farkle, Zay, Smackle and his parents visited him every few hours, switching people do that he never was alone. When he tried to explain seeing Maya in his back seat he got told he was 'just seeing things because he was mad' or that it was 'just the concussion'

Right now he was sitting there staring out the window in the same hospital bed "How are you doing" Riley mumbled when she entered the room, not doing too well herself "I'm doing fine, you?" He asked uninterested, rather just be alone.

"They've planned the funeral..burying an empty casket..it's on Wednesday, it was her favourite day" Riley smiled at the memory "why?" Lucas questioned "well it was just the middle of the week. She'd sing her Humpday song" Riley laughed, earning a small smile from Lucas

"So are you going to go to the funeral?" She asked "Of course..Riley I really think we need to talk about when I saw her in m-" Lucas started before being cut off by his sister "Lucas I love you but no more 'I saw her' she's gone. She has been for weeks now" she sighed, wiping a tear.
