Fate

Chapter 10

"Okay I'll make sure to not miss your call." I answered. "Have a safe flight." 

I started to walk away but he pulled me back to him. "Not yet." he said before grabbing my face and kissing me. I could get so lost in his kisses. This one was different than any of the others. There was a lot more passion than the other kisses and I think that was his way of letting me know how much he loves me. 

"Bye Maya I love you." he said kissing me on the forehead. 

I watched walk away to the TSA line and then went over to the door. My mom was already out there. By the time I reached her car I was sobbing. 

"Oh baby girl I'm sorry." she sighed. 

"I'm going to miss him so much Mom." I said as I wiped my tear away. 

"Maya, you'll see him again. I promise." she replied. 

"I know that Mom but it's not easy." I answered. 

"We're going to go to Topanga's. I need to talk to her about something and I want you to see Riley. I think you need her right now." she replied. 

"I just want to go to bed." I replied. 

"I know you do but we're going to go there first." she answered. 

Katy POV

I really hated seeing my daughter in such a depressing state. This was nothing like Maya, but I knew she loved Lucas very much and with him being her first love I got it. They had spent so much time together while here.  I decided it might be best to let them spend time together while at the airport. I went to the Starbucks that was close by and ordered a coffee. Once I sat down I texted Topanga to see if she was up yet. It didn't take her long to respond to me.  I didn't want to get into anything with her over text so I asked if I could come over and if she could let Riley know that Maya really needed her. 

I picked Maya up at the airport and wasn't surprised to see her a complete and utter mess. She was sobbing when she got in the car. I told her our plans and even though she wasn't into it she knew that she had to come with me. I was glad that she was able to pull herself together by the time we reached the Matthews. Topanga had just got done making breakfast when we got there. She told me she made enough for us. Maya said she didn't feel like eating so Riley took her back to their room. Topanga allowed Auggie to eat breakfast in his bedroom while he watched Cartoons which left me, Topanga, and Cory alone to talk. 

"She's a mess." Topanga said in reference to Maya. 

"I know, that's why I'm here. I didn't want to explain all of it over text so I gave you a really short summary." I sighed. "Lucas had no other choice he had to leave." 

"Why couldn't he stay? Cory asked confused. 

"Because he's on probation." I answered. 

"What? You're okay with this Katy? What did he do?"  Topanga asked. 

"Lucas had a little too much to drink on a visit out in Texas and some boy made a comment basically calling his mom a whore. She's a single Mom who works a lot to proved for him and his sister. Lucas didn't like what the boy said so he beat him up. "I replied. "I know what you guys are thinking that this is probably a bad idea from the get go but he's a really good kid." 

"If he's on probation then how his he allowed to visit out of state?" Topanga asked and clearly she was confused. 

"Yeah how does that work?" Cory asked. 

"Well he hasn't done anything bad since that happened. He realized he messed up and is changing himself. People make mistakes and use bad judgment. Lucas is so good to Maya and she's the happiest I have ever seen her." 

"Ah I get it. So he had no other choice but to go back and Maya is upset because she just found this out about the probation" Cory said. 

"Yep." I replied. 

Cory looked over at Topanga "This kind of reminds me of us when you moved to Pittsburgh but came back to me" 

"It does. So how do I come in?" Topanga asked. 

"Well I was wondering if there was some way you could help get off his probation. He has done so well. There is no reason why he shouldn't get off early." I replied. 

"I'll see what I can do. I can't make any promises though." Topanga replied. 

"I know that but your an amazing lawyer and I have faith in you." I said with a smile. 

Topanga told me she would look into everything on the next work day. I told her I appreciated everything she could do for me and for Maya. I knew she would help me and pull through for me. If there was any lawyer that could get this kid off probation early it's Topanga Matthews.
