AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hey guys,
So I haven't done a story in a long time and I have been reading lots of Lucaya fanfic and got the sudden inspiration (any and all writer's would know the feeling). So read, enjoy and see you later!
Not everyone can deal with seeing their best friend with their ex-boyfriend. Especially, if that ex-boyfriend was the love of your life. But then again not everyone was Riley.
For years feelings were hidden and pushed back. And for years there was tension and uncertainty in the air.
The day Riley and Lucas finally broke up was the starting point for something new. Not only for Riley but also for her best friend.
Riley sat by her bay window remembering it all like it was just yesterday. Though, it was far from.
*Five years before*
"Riley! Riley!" Shouted Maya. She was shaking her best friend back to reality. The sisters sat in their usual spot when thinking and talking about intense things...The Bay Window.
"You stopped mid sentence, again," Maya said.
Riley was explaining her latest dilemna to Maya and was stuck in a memory.
"You said you were thinking of a breaking off and then went blank. Breaking off from what?" Maya asked.
Ah yes, Maya was thinking of breaking up with Lucas. Don't get her wrong she loved him but she was starting to realize that it wasn't a romantic love. That love was for someone else, someone being Farkle.
You see it was just over a month ago when Farkle and his father was dropping her off to her home one day. Farkle walked her out and kissed her on the cheek. But she turned her head slightly, by accident, and he kissed the corner of her mouth.
That night it remained on her mind, keeping her awake. The next day when Maya and her were on the subway heading to school she told her. She felt guilty and thought she should tell Lucas but she didn't.
Maya realised that whenever Riley was next to Farkle the two were awkward and Riley couldn't help but blush. Lucas was of course oblivious.
"You like him don't you?" Maya asked her.
"Peaches, why would you think that. I love Lucas." She said, sounding like she was trying to convince herself more than she was Maya.
After that Maya kept bugging her about Farkle. Thinking she was just being cute but more and not Riley couldn't help but think about what Farkle and her would be like.
"Riles, I keep losing you." Maya shouted.
"I'm thinking of breaking up with Lucas!" Riley shouted.
Maya's face showed multiple emotions. She was confused, a little happy, but mostly confused. She asked why and Riley just took a deep breath and slowly let it out. Then it all came out.
"After that accidental corner lip kiss with Farkle it had me thinking. Farkle has always been there for me. And well these days I fantasize being with Farkle more than being with Lucas, and he's my boyfriend! I just don't think it's good for me to be with someone I'm not fully into when I'm thinking about someone else. Plus, who knows there may be someone else better for him." The last part she says looking at Maya.
Maya was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. Part of her was sad because they were 'Riley and Lucas'. The couple everyone thought would last because of how cute and innocent they were together. But the other part of her was happy. She'd been trying to hide her feelings for him since day one, all for the sake of her best friend.
"I know you like him and that you stepped back because of me and well I think that this is another chapter of our life that we are closing and going to open." Riley continued.
"I'm going to tell him tonight, and then I'm going to wait a while till talking to Farkle. I'm not entirely sure how he feels. I don't even know if he feels the same way!" Riley says throwing her hands up in the air.
"Oh he likes you," was all Maya could get out.
The next day at school everything was different but a good different. No one knew that Riley and Lucas broke up besides Maya and she didn't even know how it went. On the subway ride to school Riley was silent, too silent.
"Riles, would you please tell me how it went?" Maya finally burst when they reached their lockers.
"How what went?" Asked a certain genius. Farkle had apparently been standing behind Maya for a couple seconds and heard Maya's question.
"I broke up with Lucas," replied Riley.
Farkle stood still in shock, his mouth wide open. Maya closed his mouth laughing internally. You could see it in his eyes that he was processing things, everything.
As Farkle was about to ask something Lucas walked up to them with Zay.
Riley and Lucas nodded at each other with smiles on their faces and then Riley looked at her best friend and smiled, then at Farkle. She took his hand in here's and went off taking the genius with her.
"Lucas, I'm so sorry about you and -" the dirty blonde began before she was cut off by Zay's hand on my mouth, shutting her up.
"Thanks Zay. Okay, Maya don't speak or say anything or Zay will shut you up again" Lucas said signaling his best friend to remove his hand. She glared at Zay and he cowered back, a little.
"Maya I like you and I sure as hell know you feel the same way. Yes, I just got out of a relationship with Riley. But that relationship we all knew was bound to end soon." He said with eyes piercing through her soul.
She was about to say something when Zay raised his hand about to cover her mouth but she closes her lips tightly and raises her hands in defeat.
"Riley is fine with us, if their is an us. And I really hope their is an us." He said.
She didn't know what to say. He had just been broken up for and he's already trying to get with her.
"I know you have lots of questions and probably need to think everything through. By just know this, I will wait for us." He said caressing her cheek.
He removed his hand and nodded at Zay and the two left leaving her to her thoughts.
She had the opportunity to be with the guys she's been pining over secretly for years and she didn't know what to do.
It took a few weeks for Maya to process all that Lucas was saying but she caved in. Now five years later, they graduated high school and some are in their first year of college.
"Riles?" Maya asked stepping through Riley's window.
"Peaches!" Riley said opening her arms waiting for a hug.
It had been months since they saw each other. Maya wasn't in university but she was working under one of the most prestigious art studios in New York and being mentored their. Riley was in Philidephia studying Education. They were miles apart and barely saw each other.
"Are you ready?" Maya asked her best friend.
They were getting ready to go to Topanga's and meet the others.
As they went their usual route to get their memories flooded back to them and it only made them miss each other more. By the time they reached their destination they were a crying, puffy mess.
"Shortstack, you okay?" Lucas asked his girlfriend.
Maya looked at the love of her life and only smiled. Thanks to that day she was able to have a happy ending.
And thanks to that day Riley was able to know what true love was like and only felt it more when watching her best friend and ex-boyfriend in each other's arms as she herself was cuddling into Farkle. Both were grateful for that day and who knows what could have been the outcome if it was any bit different.
Okay so how was it? Please review, I want to know what you'll think. Was their things you'd change or add? I'm a bit rusty with the writing so I am pretty sure their would be things I would change no matter how much times I reread it.
Anywho, if you have any requests for an idea you want to see please do tell me and make sure to say who it is you want to be thanked for for the prompt. Also, if you have oneshot ideas you want to see come alive for any other story (movie, tv show, book, anything) tell me and if I know what it is I'll write it. I really want to write more I just need prompts.Have an wonderful day or night.BYE!
