Prompt: Maya and Lucas have been dating for a month now. Riley gave up on pretending to like Charlie and she's had enough of watching Lucaya together. {TRIGGER WARNING}

Quiet giggles echoed through the mostly empty room. Lucas, Maya, Riley, Farkle, and Zay all sat scattered through Topanga's eating ice cream sundaes complete with heaps of whipped cream. Lucas and Maya were busy cutely putting whipped cream on each other's noses to notice their friends playing a dreadful game of Go Fish at the round table in the library area.

Riley stared longingly at the sandy blond boy.

"Go fish," Farkle said in a monotone voice, equally as bored. The brunette sighed and picked up another card, not taking her eyes off the couple.

A pair of dings caused Riley's eyes to divert from the couple to Zay and Farkle. Both looked down in disappointment.

"What's wrong?" she set down her cards and stuffed a large spoonful of vanilla ice cream into her small mouth.

"Nothing, I have a date with Smackle," the genius replied.

"Isn't that a good thing?" the optimistic girl says confused.

"I don't know. I'm not sure if things will last between us. She got a scholarship to this school in California, it's brand new and the intelligence level is 5 times higher than Einstein Academy. I don't stand a chance," Farkle explained drifting off and walking over to Riley to give her a hug. He was out the door before she could say bye as she sighed.

"How about you Zay? You'll stay with me right?" she turned to the Zay with hopeful eyes.

After they went to Texas he really became a part of their group. She could talk to him about anything, even Lucas and Maya.

"I'm sorry Smiley, I have to go help my mom setup her new store," he says with a sad smile. He got up, gave her hug, and whispered into Riley's ear, "Don't just stay and watch them ok?"

She nodded and watched him walk out the door and onto the busy streets of New York.

Riley sighed and looked at Maya's beautiful blonde waves and perfect heart-shaped face. She had big blue eyes and a row of flawless white teeth that sparkled when she flashed her winning smile.

Then she picked up a chunk of her limp brown hair that had fallen in front of her baby face, catching her reflection in the silver frame of a picture.

The image was distorted and caused Riley to wonder if that's how she looked compared to Maya.

"Hey, Maya?" she got up and walked to the couch where they were giggling together.

"What, Riley," the usually decent blonde snapped at her best friend.

The bubbly girl stepped back in shock, "U-uh never mind. I'll just be over there." Riley awkwardly pointed to the front counter and shamefully staggered over. She grabbed a towel from next to the sink and began wiping the mess of ice cream toppings off the marble.

"I love you," Maya whispered into Lucas' lips as they engaged in a passionate kiss.

Riley stood from afar staring jealously at her former best friend. A light ping! from her phone signaled a text message. She happily grabbed her phone, glad to get a distraction from "Lucaya" as everyone at school called them.

"Jealous? You should be. Of course Lucas would choose Maya over weird, happy Riley. A Blonde Bombshell beats a Plain Jane any day. Do them, and everyone, a favor and just kill yourself. No one would care, not even Lucas. Not even Maya.

Kisses, -A"

Riley finished reading the note with tears in her eyes. The notes had stopped for a while. She'd hoped that the bully would've forgotten about her. But they hadn't.

The 8th grader wiped her eyes with her sleeve and refused to believe what the anonymous text said.

"Maya? Lucas? I'm going to go now," she tested to see if the note had been right.

"K," Maya responded with a careless wave of her hand.

This wasn't the first time Riley had felt invisible. Ever since they got back from Texas everyone has been talking about Lucas & Maya.

Lucas & Maya.

Lucas & Maya.

No one remembered Lucas and Riley. No one noticed Riley. She had been able to handle the previous notes from this bully. But she had never gotten one that told her to harm herself.

But maybe they were right.

Maybe no one cares.

Maybe she should just.

Die.

Riley gathered up her stuff and silently slipped out of the seemingly stuffy room. She ran up the metal stairs and into the open bay window of her room.

Topanga was in the middle of a trial, somewhere in Maine and Cory was at a staff meeting for another 3 hours.

Riley dropped her coral backpack on the ground along with her phone and ran across the house into her parent's room. She flung the medicine cabinet open and rummaged through the things, finding a bottle of sleeping pills her mom uses before she had a big court day. The brunette grabbed it and ran back across the house to her room.

Riley's POV

I slammed the small bottle of pills on my desktop and opened up my laptop screen. I logged onto the Facebook Page I rarely use and turn on the video camera.

"My name is Riley Matthews. My whole life I've been seen as a goody two-shoes, a weirdo. And I've usually been okay with that. A few weeks ago I went to Texas. Things happened, things change. A week before that I handled my predator. You were all there... But, they weren't done I guess," my voice cracks.

"They just kept going. And I don't think I can keep going. How do you keep going when the worst thing has happened? They crossed the line. And they hide behind a screen and a hoodie. But I know she'll see this. And I hope you're happy. I'm doing what you asked. I'm done. I'm done hearing Lucas and Maya! Lucas and Maya. I'm done with them. The only people I've had for the last month are Zay and Farkle. I'm sorry, guys. I wish I could say goodbye to you. And Mommy? I love you. Daddy. I love you too. I'm sorry. But I'm done."

I end the video, broadcasting it to everyone in my school, and tag Maya, Lucas, Zay, Farkle, and my parents. Warm drops of water stream down my face and I don't attempt to stop my tears. I stand in the middle of my room and walk in a slow circle, taking in everything.

Lucas' POV

'Riley Matthews has tagged you in a video'

The notification pops up on my screen as I wave goodbye to Maya. She smiles sweetly and runs around the corner to meet her mom for dinner. I decide to watch the video before I go as I'm in no rush.

I wipe some rainbow sprinkles off the round table and prop my phone on a stack of books.

"My name is Riley Matthews..."

I stand up and grab all the books off the shelves throwing them on the ground. This can't be happening.

I run out the door and up the metal stairs to her apartment building.

I crawl through the open window and call out her name, "RILEY? RILEY!"

I hear sobs coming from her bathroom and fling open the door. She barely notices me as I spot the bottle of pills in her hands, her hysteria stopping her from opening the childproof cap.

I try to yank it from her grasp, causing her to finally notice me. She starts screaming and screeching at me, somehow managing to get it open. I go a different route and flip the bottle upside down causing all the capsules to roll on the tile. Riley's sobs get worse.

"RILEY STOP! GODAMMIT!"

Her eyes dry up and her bottom lip is left quivering.

"Riley, what the fuck were you thinking?" I hiss at her. She steps back knowing that I'm really mad, considering I don't cuss. She hands me her phone from the bathroom counter and I read the black print from "-A"

"Riley, Dammit what would I have done without you. God Riley what were you, I can't," I run my hands through my hair in distress.

"You have Maya," her voice is barely audible.

"Riley, I don't like Maya. I like you. I've been waiting for you to just drop the whole sibling act. I like you not her."

She sighs and walks to her bed.

"Why? I'm plain and ugly and fat. She's unique and mysterious and beautiful and skinny."

"You're not any of those things," I sit next to her, "Come here." She lays her head on my shoulder as we sit in silence, listening to the cars. She eventfully falls asleep as I lift her up bridal style and lay her under her blanket.

With one last anxious glance I turn to crawl out the window.

"Lucas. Stay please."

Without any words I slip under the covers with her and kiss her forehead.

"Just close your eyes. The sun is going down. You'll be alright. No one can hurt you now. Come morning light. You and I'll be safe and sound"

I sing quietly until she's asleep and finally let myself drift off as well.

Disclaimer: I do nout own the show or the characters. The song is Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift, which I do not own either. I hope you enjoyed this, it was very emotional for me to right. I took inspiration from the movie, Cyberbully, which I don't own either.
