Maya POV ///

Lucas pushed me on my bed and kissed me. I had no problem with kissing him back.

I wrapped my legs around his waist and ran my hands through his hair.

He released and hugged me.

"I have to go, Maya." He says.

"No," I whine, and bite my lip.

"Love you, see you tomorrow." He says, kissing me, and walking home.

I was bored. I decided to go to Riley's, so I started to walk to her house.

I looked around and saw that everything was turning gold.

My favorite time of the day.

I smiled.

I live life happier now that everything is better.

The leaves were turning a sheer shade of green, and it brightened the world.

The puddles of rain water were splashed with happy kids, and happy parents.

I stopped by the Graffiti on the walls and admired the beauty it carried.

I laughed at the little girl using crayons to draw the bird she saw. She was so cute.

I smiled at everyone, and made it my business to make their day better.

I gave a homeless woman all my money, and she smiled and thanked me.

I gave the little girl one of my pictures and she hugged me.

Life couldn't get any better than this.

I went to that old park I used to go to and sat on the bench, staring at my mural.

Okay, sad part. listen to the sad song to set the mood. Oh now I'm sad.

I sat and observed the greatness of the world.

Why couldn't love have shown me this before?

My smile faded as soon as I felt someone tie a blind fold around my face and duct tape my mouth.

My world was encased in darkness.

No more smiling children, green tree's, or happiness.

I was kicked in my lungs.

Again.

Again.

and again.

I coughed up blood.

I was kicked in my head.

Not once.

Not twice.

Three times.

It hurt.

I couldn't feel anything.

I thought I was dying.

They snapped my leg.

I cried.

I coughed more blood.

I lost more feeling.

Darkness.

Darkness.

Pain.

Blood.

Ow.

Ow.

Ow!

I just wanted Lucas, my mom, Shawn, Topanga, Riley, Cory, Farkle, Zay, Smackle, somebody to home and save me.

Another kick.

Another push.

Another blood cough.

And then they threw my head to the ground.

And my world ended.

/// Two Weeks Later

I was alive, two weeks later.

But I was in the hospital.

And I could see.

And I could breathe.

I could see crying faces running into my room, engulfing me in a hug.

Crying so much, the tears made puddles.

Riley cried into my shoulder.

Zay, Farkle, and Smackle wouldn't stop asking for hugs.

My parents never took their eyes off of me.

"Riles!" I cried.

"PEACHES! Your okay!"

I smiled. "I'm better."

"Zay! Smackle! Farkle!" I smiled, and turned to hug them when I felt a sharp pain run through my body.

"Ow," I said, turning back, grabbing their hands instead.

"Mommy! Shawny! Come here!" I said, crying.

Then a boy walked into the room.

His eyes were red.

"Riley, does this boy have the wrong room?" I ask my best friend.

The boy walks up to me.

He leans in to kiss me when I push him away.

"What the hell?" I say.

"I'm hospitalized, and you try and kiss me?" I say.

"I'm sorry Maya. I know, stupid of me. But I've missed you so much."

"Why?" I ask.

"Because I love you." He says.

"But I don't even know you."

I didn't know him, why did everyone looked so shocked... and sad?
