Moon😽:Mayyaa
Maya:Mooonn
Moon😽:I'm having a party today!!
Maya:ooohhh, funn
Moon😽:do you and your Cobra Kai friends wanna come?
Maya:I'll come, but idk about the others
Moon😽:Kk, just tell me what comes up!
Maya:okay!!
Maya then switched to the Cobra Kai group chat, with everyone besides Johnny. They had a separate group chat with him in it.
Maya:do u guys wanna go to Moon's party today?!
Tory😼:Ofc!!
Eli🤍:yea sure.
Miggy🤞🏼:yep.
The others agreed as well.
Maya wore a red and black flannel, and a black tank top tucked into her light blue jean shorts. Maya and Eli tried to slightly match their outfits, although all that matched were the colors.
Maya sat on Moon's couch, a red solo cup in hand, Eli's hand wrapped around her waist since Miguel wasn't in the room and no one was really looking. When Maya looked up, she saw all of Miyagi Do. Sam, Robby, Demetri, and some others. Suddenly Miguel and Tory came into the room, Maya quickly pushed his hand away. Most of the room went silent, as the two groups stared at each other. When Moon came into the room, they all went at ease.
When the music started to play, other people started a dance battle. It was hilarious and extremely hard to watch at the same time. Eli's hand stayed wrapped around Maya's waist, he'd whisper little things into her ear but everyone around them thought Hawk was just tipsy and flirtatious.
"I'm gonna go get a drink, I'll be right back." Maya stood up, went to the kitchen, and filled up her cup. She started to return to Eli when she was stopped by a guy.
"Hey, Maya Diaz, right?" Maya nodded.
"That's me." She smiled.
"You're in Cobra Kai, right? With your brother?" Maya wondered why this guy knew so much about her, but if anyone knew Maya, they knew Miguel too and if they knew Miguel, they knew he was in Cobra Kai.
"Yep." The guy nodded, Maya sipping from her drink, waiting for him to introduce himself.
"I saw you helped Miyagi Do clean up their dojo." It was only a bit creepy that he was watching her, but Maya brushed it off. Maybe he was just awkward.
"Yeah, I felt bad about what happened to their dojo." The boy looked to the side, cocking his head. "What's wrong?" Maya asked.
"Your friend is um..." He pointed and Maya looked, and just as she did, Eli poured his drink on Demetri's head. Maya sighed, taking a large gulp of her own drink.
"I'm sorry, I've gotta go." Maya sighed, speed-walking to where the two were. "Eli, what the hell?!" Maya whisper-yelled, looking between the two.
"Maya..." Eli spun around, she knew he wasn't expecting her.
"What are you doing?!" Maya asked, motioning to Demi. She started to feel slightly lightheaded, but she thought it was just because of the loud music and loud people.
"Well..."
"I'm sorry, Demi." Maya grabbed his hand, pulling him towards one of Moon's bathrooms. Demetri could tell something was wrong with Maya, she was walking weirdly but he guessed it to be the alcohol in her system. Maya grabbed a towel and handed it to him before she left, she almost felt. She leaned against a wall, the room seemed to be spinning.
"Maya, are you okay?" Maya slowly brought her head up to see the boy from earlier. She didn't answer. She wanted to, but her mouth wouldn't open. "Here, I can help you." The boy grabbed her arm, dragging her someplace. Maya realized it was Moon's guest room. She heard a click as if a door was being locked.
"Wha..." Maya tried to say what, but the boy covered her mouth.
"I really hate to do this to you, but Miyagi Do needs to get back at Cobra Kai." Maya felt her eyes grow wide.
~
The boy had redressed her, and Maya was able to crawl into the bathroom inside the guest bedroom. She tried lifting herself up to wash her hands, her face, and anything the boy had touched, but her legs felt like jelly and she simply fell back down. She felt dirty, gross, and utterly disgusting. She felt like everything she feared. She crawled to the nearest corner, bringing her legs up to her chest and placing her head on her knees, and cried.
Moon was giving Piper a tour, she opened the door to her guest bedroom and saw the sheets, blankets, and pillows all rumpled up. Then she heard sniffling and sobbing. Moon walked slowly to the open bathroom door, the sounds becoming more clear, and saw Maya.
"Maya!" Moon exclaimed, crouching down in front of her. "Maya, what happened?" Maya shook her head. "D-Do you want me to get someone?" Moon asked frantically.
"Miggy." Was all Maya muttered, Moon looked up at Piper.
"Piper, go get Miguel, please. Just tell him something happened to Maya." Piper nodded, rushing out of the room. She searched around for Miguel until she saw him standing and talking to Hawk.
"Miguel." Miguel looked at Piper, as did Hawk. She looked frantic and worried.
"What's wrong, Piper?"
"Something happened to Maya." Miguel felt his hands go cold.
"What?"
"I don't know what happened, she's just asking for you." Miguel nodded, he and Hawk following Piper, Miguel felt terrible. He had realized Maya wasn't around, but he thought she was with Moon. He'd let her out of his sight for only a couple of minutes and now he felt like whatever had happened was his fault. Hawk felt the same way.
"Maya?" Miguel asked, seeing her curled into a corner. Moon quickly stood and rushed to Miguel.
"Miguel, she was," Moon mouthed the word raped. "I think she needs to go home." Miguel and Hawk felt their blood go ice cold. They both felt as if they'd failed in protecting her when in reality it wasn't their fault. It wasn't anyone but the boy's fault. Miguel rushed to her side, sitting down next to her. As soon as he did, Maya wrapped her arms around his neck and started to cry even more.
"He said Miyagi Do had to get back at Cobra Kai." Maya cried, Miguel tried to suppress his anger as he stroked her back.
"Don't worry, I'll find the guy, but I'm gonna take you home first." Maya nodded, and Eli helped her stand.
The three all walked out together, Hawk kept his arm around Maya's shoulders. To Maya it was a comforting move from her boyfriend to Miguel, Hawk was just helping her stand easier.
"That is the medical term, of course. In the King's English, it's good old-fashioned bed-wetting." They all looked up as they heard Demetri. "And here he is. And Eli here is a pro. My mom even had a special air mattress for sleepovers. And she called it...Eli's waterbed." Maya glanced at Eli who stared intently at the ground.
"Demi, stop!" Maya yelled. Demetri's eyes seemed to grow darker as his eyes zeroed in on Maya. She was always defending Hawk, always, and Demetri hated it.
"We all know Maya Diaz, but there's some things you all don't know." Maya felt her eyes go wide again. "Maya would do anything for love. Even believe that Hawk loved her, it's honestly pathetic. You can't blame her, her Dad wasn't there. She didn't know that I dared Hawk to kiss her, she's just gullible. They've been dating this whole time, and what's worse is that she kept it from her supposed best friend Miguel." Maya stared at the floor, her heart beating even quicker than it was before. A dare? It was a dare?
"You were messing with my sister, Hawk?!" Miguel asked quickly, Maya pushed him back.
"You wanna know what is more embarrassing? Maya has ataxophobia, she's afraid of getting dirty." The people around them laughed, Maya's eyes frantically moving around the room. Her eyes welled up with tears as she ran out of the party and to her car.
"Maya!" She quickly spun around, anger boiling in her veins.
"This was all a dare?! It was just a dare to prove Demetri wrong?!" Maya shouted.
"No, Maya that's not it!" Hawk shouted back, desperately hoping that Maya would let him explain himself.
"How am I supposed to believe you?! You promised me you would hurt Demetri anymore, and you did, you promised me you wouldn't tell anyone about my ataxophobia, and you did!" Maya shouted, tears rushing down her cheeks.
"Maya it's not like that!" Hawk pleaded again.
"I-I hate you! So just stay away from me, Hawk!" Hawk stood astonished on the sidewalk as Maya pulled out of the driveway. Hawk. She called him Hawk.

Maya ran into her house and into her room. Carmen noticed and almost immediately knew what was going to happen, especially after she heard the shower turn on. Maya scrubbed and scrubbed, she needed to get every part of him off of her. She was dirty, and she would make sure she wasn't going to be.
When she dried off, she still felt dirty, but she went around her room and grabbed all of Hawk's things, put them in a bag, along with her clothes from that night, and threw them in her bathroom trash can. She curled up into her bed and started to cry again. She'd trusted two men and they'd both fucked her over. Miguel walked through his front door, his mom sitting outside Maya's door.
"Mama, what're you doing?" Carmen looked up at Miguel, her eyes watery.
"What happened Miguel? She took a four-hour-long shower. That's longer than they'd been in the past." Miguel looked at Maya's door, there was no noise from within the room.
"She was raped, mom." Carmen cried, Miguel, sitting down beside his mom.
"She hasn't answered the door, what if..." Miguel shook his head.
"Let me try, Mama." She nodded, standing up. Miguel knocked on the door, hearing bedsheets rustling. "Maya." He turned the doorknob, it was locked, of course. "Maya, unlock the door, please. I just wanna make sure your okay." Maya wiped her eyes as she held the necklace from Hawk in her hand. She hadn't thrown it away with the other things. It felt impossible to do so.
She got up and unlocked the door before sitting up in her bed and wrapping herself in a blanket. Miguel waited until he didn't hear any movements from behind the door before he walked inside and sat down in front of her. Her skin was bright red, but she still kept itching at herself. Miguel quickly grabbed her hands to make her stop.
"I'm so dumb Miggy." She cried, her shoulders shaking.
"No your not, Maya."
"I trusted him." Maya cried, Miguel knew it wasn't solely about the boy she'd told them about.
"And that's his fault, Maya, both of their faults." Maya looked up at Miguel.
"Both?"
"I know it's not just about the boy, Maya." Maya's chin started to wobble.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Miggy, I thought you'd be mad but now I wish I'd never dated him but I loved Eli. He used to be so sweet." Miguel pulled Maya into him as she cried into his chest. He stroked her hair, wishing she would've told him. Just so this wouldn't have happened.
