"Riley why are you with Maya I told you to stay away from her"
I don't know what to say "I'm sorry I just needed to talk to..."
"That's not ok Riley"
"Why doesn't anyone want me to see you" I look at Maya tears streaming down her face
"Your dad found me in a pool of my blood." She starts to laughing "everyone says you shouldn't cut. I guess their right"
I cant help but cry my Maya self harms my Maya hurts her self and never told me.
Maya runs off
"Dad tell me everything thing"
We walk home in silence until we get through the door. I sit down straight away.
Dad sits next to me
"I knew Maya
Liked to draw
Beautiful pictures
Which no one saw
She'd draw a by herself
Alone at night
Locked in her bedroom
Out of sight
The pictures were straight
They came with a twist
Her pen was a razor
Her canvas was her wrist
We layout at night
Watching the stars
When she lifted her sleeve
and showed me her scars
I wasn't shocked
I knew what to do
So I rolled up my sleeve
And said I draw too"
I don't get it. Does dad cut himself to or was he trying to tell me Maya doesn't cut she draws
"Dad do you cut" I ask not sure of anything anymore
"Yeah, well when I was younger I did until your mum found out and helped me stop"
"Ok dad I want to me and Maya to be like you and mum"
"Is that why you to were kissing"
I'm silent how to I get me out of this situation
Dad laughs "God me, August and your mum have been planing you wedding for years"
I smile "Really"
"I could tell from the moment you met your no shawn and Cory. You to were Cory and topanga"
"How do I help Maya"
"First go find her then look her in the eyes and say the everything you are thinking"
He looks at me "well go riles"

I get to Maya's house and theirs no reply so I head for topangas cafe. Where I see Maya and her mum.
"Maya let me see your scars"
"No Riley not here not now"
"Yes here and now"
She pulls up her sleeve and I try not to cry. I kiss one of her scars
"If I am the reason for any of theses scars, i promise I will be with you to see them fade. I promise I will kiss better ever scar I have done. I promise I love you and I promise to keep all my promise till I die"
She laughs "do you even remember all of those promise"
I joke "maybe I should write them down"
