Riley POV:
It's been 15 years. It's been fifteen years since Lucas picked Mya over me. After he made his decision our friendship went out the window. I couldn't handle my emotions after that. I tried my hardest to keep my friendship with him and Mya but I couldn't. Then again it didn't seem like they cared very much. Seeing them in the hallways kissing, hugging, and just being in love. Granted I was extremely happy for my best friend to have finally someone; I wish it was anyone but him. Once they had each other it was like I didn't even exist. After I ended my friendships with two of the people I care most about I begged and pleaded with my parents to let me do online schooling. After weeks they finally agreed probably only because I was so depressed, not eating, not wanting to do anything. I graduated my online courses and went on to college at Penn Brooke University. I went to college to become a pre-school teacher. While I was in college I met a guy named James. James was the first guy to catch my eye aside from Lucas. James and I hit it off right away and I knew I had a lot of strong feelings for him. We dated all throughout college and a few weeks after graduation he proposed. I accepted and we got married a year later.
After we got married I talked him into moving back to New York. It took a lot of begging but he finally agreed and I was so excited. We ended up finding an amazing house with three bedrooms, and two baths. It had a little front yard with a white picket fence, a huge backyard with an in ground pool and of course a bay window. I loved the house, it was absolutely perfect. A few weeks after we fully moved in is when I noticed that James was changing and it wasn't for the good.
He would get mad at me for the littlest things. Dinner wasn't ready right when he walked in or I folded his shirt wrong. No matter what it was always my fault. He would scream and slam whatever he possibly could. It scared the hell out of me but I tried my best to deal with it. I loved him and I know he loves me right?
I had just gotten off work and pulled up to the house smiling to myself knowing he wasn't home yet. I quickly parked the car in the driveway and got out walking to the house. I grabbed the mail and went inside straight to the kitchen. I quickly pulled out some steaks, potatoes and asparagus and started cooking at record speed. Once I had everything on the stove I started going through the mail.
'Bill, bill, junk mail, what's this?' I mumbled to myself. I opened the letter and started to read. A reunion for middle school? Who does this type of thing? I chuckled softly when I read that it was hosted by Farkle. I put the paper down on the table neatly as I heard James' truck pull into the driveway. I quickly made his plate and set it down with a beer at his seat.
"Babe I'm home" He says as he walks into the kitchen. I smile and wrap my arms around his neck.
"Hi handsome" I lean up kissing him softly. "I missed you today" He smirks and wrap his arms around my waist.
"Oh really?" I smile and nod. I giggle softly as he kisses me again and again.
"Come eat I made your favorite" I gently pull away from him. He glares down at me.
"What?" I question the look.
"Why don't you want to kiss me?" He asks defensively. See this is what I'm talking about.
"Babe you're being crazy I just want you to eat your dinner before it gets cold." Again this is gonna be my fault either way.
"Fine whatever" He mumbled as I got his plate ready. I sat it in front of him and grabbed him a beer from the fridge. I made my plate and sat across from him.
"So I got an invitation to a reunion type of thing" I said softly to him.
"What kind of reunion?" He questions
"Middle school" I laugh softly "I guess they wanna try to get everyone together. It seems fun, would you go with me?"
"I think it sounds stupid" He mumbles
"Please" I try again "I think we'd have fun" I smile softly at him.
"Fine I guess"
"Yay! Thank you so much!" I smile big. "You're the best!"
He chuckles softly and finishes his food in silence. He leaves his plate on the table and goes upstairs shutting the bedroom door behind him. I sigh and get up cleaning up the mess praying that I clean it up the way he wants. Once I finished cleaning I sat down looking at the invitation. Seeing everyone again, was it really a good idea? I mean I would love to see Farkle, Smackle, Zay but Lucas and Mya….I wasn't too sure if I wanted to see them again. They completely turned against me, I was invisible to them. They could be married with kids for all I know. But I'm married, I'm happy right? I pulled out my phone and dialed Farkles number and listened to it ring. After five rings it went to voicemail.
"Hey this is Farkle and I can't answer my phone right now so leave a message after the beep" BEEP
"Hey Farkle. It's Riley, Riley Matthews. Well Riley Brown now" I chuckled softly "Um I got the invite to the reunion and I would love to come. And my husband will be coming with me. I can't wait to see you. Um I guess that's it. I'll talk to you soon. Bye" I hung up the phone. I shut the lights off and made sure the door was locked and went upstairs. I saw James smirking at his phone as he texted someone.
"Hey" I smile at him "Who are you texting?" I question him.
"No one" He pays me no attention. I bite my bottom lip and sit next to him trying to read the message but he quickly locks his phone. "I told you no one"
"I was just sitting next to you" I say softly. He scoffs and stands up changing into a pair of jeans and a polo shirt. "Where are you going?" I question him.
"Out" He answers me. He's going out? Without me?
"Can I come with you?"
"No I'm hanging with the guys tonight" He mumbles and walks out the door jogging down the steps. I follow him quickly. I stand in front of the door.
"I thought we would spend some time together tonight?"
"No I'm going out"
"Babe-"
"I said I'm going out!" He says loudly as he pushes me into the entertainment stand. Ow! I let out a dry sob as I hold my hip. He opens the door and slams it shut. That's a first. He's never put his hands on me. I wipe the tears from my eyes and make my way back upstairs. I pull down my pants and already see a bruise forming. I change into pajamas and lay in bed playing with my wedding ring. That wasn't the James that I fell in love with. I don't know who that is. _
