{Your Point Of Veiw}

Tuesday

After history class, my friends and I walk with Maya and her friends to the cafeteria.
"Hey, you guys wanna go to the library", Maya suggests.
"Right now", Lucas asks.
"No in 5 years huckleberry," she says sarcastically causing the rest of us to laugh.
"You're laughing at me Riley", Lucas smirks. Riley stops laughing.
"I would never do that to you Lucas," she replies.
"Lies", Farkle whispers. Riley nudges his arm playfully.
"So are we going or not", I ask.
"I'm down", Zay says.
"Me too", Taylor says.
"Me three," Hector agrees.
"We also will go," Smarkle says in unison.
"Okay, let's just go because this could go on all da Maya says.
I laugh and we walk to the library, hands intertwined.

When we get to the library Riley, Lucas, Smarkle, and Zay sit at a table chatting away. I decide to explore the library being I never really came in here. I'm walking in between the bookshelves admiring books, and the words in them when I feel soft arms wrap around my waist.

"You ever been here before", Maya asks.
"No actually, never felt the need to come in here. I also was usually too busy stalking you to be able to come in here", I giggle.
She leans up and kisses me.
"Come sit in the window with me, I want to draw you", she says.
" Aww we have our own bay window," I say excitedly. Maya just laughs and shakes her head at me.
We walk over to the window and sit down. Maya begins drawing me and I just take in all of her beauty.

"Why do you always look at me like that," Maya asks.
"Like what?"
"Like I'm the only person in the world", she replies still focused on her drawing.
"Because not only am I amazed by your beauty but who you are is what baffles me. You deserve so much Maya, and I hope one day I can give it to you", I answer.
"Stop being so cute," she giggles and blushes.
"I don't know how," I say in a baby voice.
"Can I ask you a personal question," Maya asks hesitantly.
"Of course beautiful", I say.
"Why did, your father go to prison?"
I look down a bit, I knew she would want to know sooner or later. She deserves to know the truth, she is my girlfriend after all. I can't, I won't lie to her. I'm so caught up in my thoughts I don't realize I haven't said anything.
"I'm sorry if it's too much, I shouldn't have as-"
"No you deserve the truth Maya", I cut her off.
I look around making sure we were far enough away from everyone else so I wouldn't be heard. I look back at Maya and she has a worried look on her face, I'm probably scaring her right now.

(Trigger warning)

"My father was abusive, in more ways than not. He beat on my mother a lot, and sometimes I was brave enough to try to stop him but, but he beat me too. For a while, I thought that was the worst he could do. That was until one night... my mother made me a bath and said she was going to work. I asked if she knew when he would be back but just said not for a while. I heard her leave and for a few minutes, I felt happy and safe. Then I heard someone enter my house. I could hear glass breaking and footsteps nearing my bathroom door". I tear up at the memory.
"He walked in and I could smell the alcohol on him. He looked at me And started laughing. I watched him with so much fear in my eyes", a tear falls down my face.
"He r-r", I can't bring myself to say it, and I start crying uncontrollably. I hear something fall to the floor and Maya wraps me in her arms tight. She rocks me back in fourth trying to soothe me. I look up at her with puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks and see that she is crying too.
"N-nobody deserves that okay y/n. You are so strong and brave and I had no idea you went through so much pain, she sobs. I promise that I am always going to be here for you, no matter what. I'm never gonna let anybody ever hurt you ever again," she kisses my forehead.
"My mom back and she saw what he did. She hit him in the head, hard, and called the police. I spent months in therapy," I sigh and wipe the tears from my face.

"But I'm moving on; the past is the past. Besides, he's going to be locked for a long time". Maya just holds me in her arms.
"Did you ever finish that picture", I ask curiously.
"Yeah you wanna see it," she smiles.
She shows me and I giggle.
"That doesn't look like me at all," I say making us both giggle.
"I know, but I feel like that's what running through your head", she replies.

I kiss her passionately and she kisses back.
When we pull back, I lay my head on her chest.
"What about your dad", I ask.
"Oh, he was just an ass hole, "she replies.
"What," I turn and look at her.
"Yeah, he left when I was five and started this whole other family. I'm over it now, since he never wanted to be my father I found someone who did, and that's Shawn," she says.
"You know I'm never leaving you right", I coo.
"Oh really," she tilts her head.
"Yup, good luck getting rid of me, cuz I'm stuck to you forever", I say emphasizing forever.
"So even if I do this", she starts tickling me. And to prevent myself from screaming I run away. She chases me and I find Hector and jump on his back.
"Run man RUN!"
"Y/n, what are you doing get off me," he says.
"You dumb ass she's gonna g-" Maya starts tickling me and hector drops me, I land on Maya.
"You okay", she laughs.
"Perfect," I laugh.
She places her hands on both sides of my face and kisses me.
"Look", Lucas whisper-yells at us.
"What", Maya asked slightly annoyed from breaking the kiss.
"You wanna go on a date with me", I hear Zay ask Taylor.
I gasp and Maya smirks.
"I actually would", Taylor replies.
"We should double date," I whisper to Maya.
"Eww nobody actually likes that," she says.
I frown.
"I like it", I say pouting.
Maya rolls her eyes and helps me off the ground.
