After Maya and Josh made their someday deal they did what they said they were going to do. Live their lives. Maya and her friends went one way and Josh went another. They still stayed in occasional contact for a little while but never got the chanc...
When I look over at Josh I seen him already looking back at me. I'm pulled away from his bright blue eyes by the sound of Riley's voice. "So to pull the attention away from Maya for a minute." She starts as she glances beside her at her boyfriend. "Lucas and I have a bit of an announcement to make." She continues. "We're getting married." Lucas finishes for her. We all freeze in shock and happiness for the couple. "NO! NOT TODAY CHACHI!" Mr. Matthews yells making everyone snap out of their trances and start laughing. "Sweetie that's amazing! I'm so happy for you both." Topanga says walking over to her daughter and hugging her. "We're all so happy for you Riles. I knew this day would come!" I tell her now walking over to her hugging her before picking up her hand to look at the ring I somehow missed. "Damn. You did good on the ring HeeHaw. I'm impressed." I state hugging him too after I drop her hand. "Thank you Maya." He replies. "And just so we're all clear. I knew!" Mr. Matthews exclaims putting his hand up waving it. We all laugh at him again shaking our heads.
Once we're all back in our seats Smackle looks at me. "Maya?" She asks trying to catch my attention. "Yeah?" "Do you still do that other thing?" She asks I tilt my head to the side in confusion. "What thing Smackle?" I ask her. "That other thing that's not painting or drawing? That thing you started doing in Sophomore year?" I finally catch on the what she's asking about and nod my head. "Yeah I do sometimes. Why?" She smiles before reaching behind her and Farkle's bench pulling out a guitar. I chuckle as she brings it over to me laying it in my lap. "Okay then. I guess that secret is out." I say with a small laugh. "Which one do you want me to do?" I ask looking between her and Riley seeing as they're the only two that know about my songs. "Too young." They both reply in unison. "Of course you both want that one." I shake my head at them. "So before I start I just want to clarify something. This is the first song I wrote ever. I wrote it in freshman year. But anyway this is Too Young." I say before I start singing.
(Play the song please)
After the song is done everyone is looking at me surprised besides Riles and Smackle. I quickly glance at Josh beside me and he has the same expression on his face mixed with another emotion. "Maya that was incredible. You have some amazing talent." Topanga tells me as she smiles. I thank everyone for their compliments. "Umm it's getting a little late and I'm really tired so I'm going to try and get some sleep." I tell everyone goodnight before walking into the house.
I step into my room and look for some pajamas to wear. I quickly change before I climb into my bed.

I toss and turn most of the night. When I look at the clock beside my bed I see it's only 4:00 a.m. I sigh and throw my legs over the side of my bed. I grab my robe and throw it on before I quietly walk down to the kitchen. When I get there I grab a water bottle from the fridge and walk out onto the back porch looking up at the stars in the sky.
I hear the door open behind me. I put the bottle on the railing before I turn around to see who joined me. "Josh?" I question as I pull my robe closed as I notice it's the brown hair blue eyed man I fell in love with. "Hey. What are you doing up still?" He asked me. "I could ask you the same thing." He chuckles. "You could but I asked you first." He responds with a smirk spreading across his face. "Just not used to the New York time anymore. Living in London for so long that happens." I tell him as I turn back to drink some of my water. "Now what's your excuse for being up at this time?" I ask him turning my head so I'm looking at him. "Just couldn't sleep. Wanted to come look at the stars. I didn't expect to have company." He explains and I nod my head.
"How have you been Gorgeous?" He asked walking over to the spot beside me. "I've been extremely busy as you heard earlier at the bonfire. To be honest. I don't really have time for pretty much anything." I explain to him he looks at me surprised. "Why not?" I sigh turning my head up to the sky again. "Because there is always something to do for work or at the gallery. Work has consumed my life since I left. And I don't have anyone in London." He nods his head. "That's why whenever you called throughout the week I always had to cut the call short. I was always doing something for work. The first night you called me in four years I had just finished working over fifteen hours and hosting a charity fundraising exhibit." I finally explain to him; he nods in understanding. "I get that. And I'm sorry I stopped calling and texting you. I wanted to give you the space to live your life like we promised." He finally answers the one major question I have had for the past four years. I shake my head at him. "I'm sorry but that's kind of stupid to be honest." I tell him straight up and he looks at me surprised. "How so?" He turns his whole body to face me waiting for my response. "Well if you wanted me to just live my life you didn't have to cut me out of yours Josh. You could have still spoken to me. You told me that you wanted me to be in your life even as a friend and friends talk to each other. Even after I moved to Europe I still called Riley everyday. I still spoke to Zay and Lucas every week. And Farkle, Smackle and I have a video call every weekend. That's what friends do. You didn't even know I left did you?" I rant he shakes his head in response to my question and I nod mine. "Yeah I thought so." I sigh turning around and getting ready to leave.
"What happened Maya?" He asks me I look at him confused now. "What do you mean what happened?" I turn back to face him. "What happened to you? When I last saw you, you had a sparkle in your eyes. I could feel the hope and love coming from you. Now? Now all I see when you look at me is a blank slate." He asks me. I scoff at him. "Josh. The last time you saw me was when we found out that Topanga had gotten offered a promotion in the very city I moved to. Then briefly at our graduation. If you seriously have to ask me that question after six years of pretty much nothing then..." I sarcasticlly laugh shaking me head. "Then something is wrong with you. I'm sorry but that's the truth. If you have to ask that then look in the mirror that's where you'll see the answer." I snap at him. "I want to make up for all the time we lost in the past few years." He says walking over to me. "If you're so sure that's what you want to do Josh, then you have a lot to make up for. A simple apology isn't going to fix things, you're going to have to prove it. I'm only here for a month before I have to go back to London. That's all the time you have. If you don't prove that your true to your words by then. Well then I'm done trying to chase after someone that doesn't feel the same way I do." I tell him before I finally walk away.
I get back to my room closing my door and lean up against it trying to calm down before I try to sleep again.
Josh's P.O.V
Well that didn't go as well as I had hoped it would.
