Never Let Me Go ( a girl meets world fanfic )

Chapter 19 : Lucas' Call

Maya's POV

I have spent ages staring at this text from Lucas, but I still don't know what to make of it.

Lucas : Riley is moving,

Maya : and?

Lucas : Riley is your BESTFRIEND

Maya : Riley doesn't even like me Lucas

Lucas : trust me she misses you more than anything

Maya : Why do you even care?

No response,

"right" I sigh,

I bite my lip debating whether or not to call him, I take a breath and dial up Lucas' number.

It rings and as it does I fiddle with my bracelet, I sit half with one leg crossed on the bed and one leg still standing up as I look out the window at the buzzing night street.

"Hello?"

I jump,

"Hi" I coo,

"what's up?"

"Lucas?"

"yeah?"

"why d-" I stop immediately just as I choke up, I don't wan't him to know how much this means to me,

he's silent on the other end,

"Lucas, why do you-" I stop again, I hold my breath, close my eyes and breathe in deeply again,

"why do you care" I pause,

"about Riley leaving" I say quickly and softly,

"Maya, Riley is our friend" he says calmly,

how can he be like this, I'm such a wreck,

"she hates me" I choke,

"she doesn't hate you, she misses you" he replies smoothly,

"well I don't miss her" I say quickly,

"oh don't be so stubborn" he protests,

"I'm not stubborn" my voice breaks but I hide it quickly so Lucas won't realise,

"we miss you" Lucas says,

suddenly my mind opens, I'm filled with thoughts, what if, what if.
