Disclaimer: I do not own Girl Meets World.

I sat in my living room while my mom was doing good knows what. She's been acting weird since she got home an hour ago. There was a pounding on the door and I immediately saw her tense. I looked out the peephole and there were a bunch of cops at the door.

"Can I help you?" They looked at me. Before looking into the apartment.

"She's running!" One of them yelled. Two pushed passed me and followed my mom down the fire escape. Another five took the stairs. There were two left and they weren't following either.

"What's going on?" I was scared after all a bunch of cops did just show up at my house in the middle of the night.

"You're going to have to come with us to the station." I looked at them unsure how to respond.

"I need to get my bag." That was the only thing I could think of to say. I grabbed my phone and backpack. Locked the door and followed the cops. My neighbors were all watching the circus unfold. Outside a ton of cop cars were parked. I saw my mom being put into the back of a police car with handcuffs on. I got into the back of a different car. "Can one of you tell me what's going on. I have a right to know." They ignored me. I was led into a room at the police station.

"Hi you must be Maya Hart. I'm detective Olivia Stabler." I watched the woman take a seat across from me.

"Can you tell me why my mom was arrested?" I thought maybe Dr. Green had reported the abuse.

"Maya your mom assaulted two people." My eyes widened. This wasn't happening.

"Who?" This was serious maybe I should call Mrs. Mathews.

"A casting director." I don't understand why she attacked the casting director. "Your mom got really angry when she was passed over for a part. She just got violent"

"Okay." I really didn't know what to say.

"Maya your neighbors told us your mother hits you is that true?" I clinched my jaw. The detective's eyes went to the bandage on my cheek. "Did she do that to you?" My body wouldn't listen and my head nodded yes.

"I'm not testifying." I blurted out right after.

"You don't need to one of your neighbors has a video of her slapping you." I knew which neighbor she was talking about. Her name was Claudia and she had like a million cats she was in the hall yesterday when my mom slapped me on my good cheek.

"Is there someone you can call a family member or someone else to come get you?" I thought for a minute.

"Let me guess daddy wants nothing to do with me." The look on her face told me I was right. I didn't want to call the Mathews I didn't want their pity. "Can I have a minute?" She nodded and walked out. I went into my bag finding Dr. Green's card. I don't know why but I called her.

"Dr. Green how can I help you?" I waited for a minute.

"It's Maya…Hart. You said I could call you if I ever needed help." I was nervous but I didn't feel like being in the police station anymore.

"Is everything alright Maya is it your mom? Did she hit you again?" For some reason her voice sounded worried maybe that was just my imagination.

"No I'm at the police station. My mom was arrested for assaulting a casting director and my dad wants nothing to do with me. I didn't know who else I could call." I tried to keep from crying. I really didn't want to cry so I did what my mom taught me hold in your pain.

"I'll be right there." That surprised me. I just sat in that little room not knowing what was going on. No one had told me anything since detective Stabler. It had been at least eight hours since I called Dr. Green. Typical she wasn't coming. They let me sleep in a bed but I hardly slept.

"Maya." I looked up and there was detective Stabler and she was with Dr. Green. She came although late. But she came. "Maya you're going to go stay with Dr. Green." That part confused me but I nodded and got my stuff.

"So are you hungry?" I looked at her as we left out the back of the police station.

"Yeah and confused. Mind telling me what's happening?" I looked to the front of the police station and there was tons of cameras and reporters.

"Why don't we get something to eat and I'll tell you after." I nodded. We ended up at some restaurant. It seemed I was missing school for the day.

"Can you just tell me now." She just stared at me for a while. She got that look most adults get when they're trying to decide whether or not tell kids stuff.

"Well last night I became your legal guardian so you're coming to live with me. Your mom pleaded out and she's going to rehab for a year before serving six years in prison." That meant my mom wouldn't be out until I was twenty.

"O…okay. So I'm living with you now?" I changed the subject I didn't want to think about my mom right now.

"Yup. We can move you in as soon as possible." I look down at my plate.

"I don't need your pity." I pushed around the little food that remained on the plate.

"I'm not doing this out of pity Maya. I'm doing this because I care." I just stared at her unsure of whether I truly believed her or not. I went to pack my stuff out of the apartment. It's funny how your life can change in the blink of an eye. It feels like I'm the slave of many and the master of one.
