Ok, I'm not very good at Au's so take it easy on me. But I hope y'all like it.

"Did you know that Lucas accepted the invitation?" Ruley squealed over the phone

"Good for him." Maya managed to say over the phone

"You're gonna have to talk to him eventually."

"It's never gonna happen."

"This is already turning into 'Uncle Eric and Jack' already."

It was true. Riley and Lucas remained best friends with Riley all throughout college, but even when all going to NYU, Maya effortlessly avoided Lucas at all costs. She always knew what he was up to. Became a publisher, stepped away from his dream of becoming one of the major-leaguers in baseball. Went through a shocking amout of girls, each relationship ending and no longer lasting more than 6 months.

"Maya?" Riley said after the long period of silence

"That's all? Lucas is coming to your wedding? That's it?"

"Want me to tell you?"

"Hit me with it."

"Farkle wanted him to be his best man. And he said yes."

"Jesus fuck, Riley."

"I'm sorry, but it's not just my wedding."

"Um, yeah it's fine." Maya knew that she would deal with it later, her main focus was to arrive to work on time.

"Can you call me later hon? I'm gonna be late."

"Stop it Maya. Whenever I talk about Lucas, you're quick to change the subject. But he is our friend. You can't jus-"

Maya pressed the 'End Call' while walking into her building.

"Hart & Babineaux Inc."

"Zay!" She screamed on the final floor of the building, looking for her co-worker

"That's my name." he was wearing his usual navy blue balzer, with a button up

"We have a meeting in 10, with you're wife's business"

"Can you just go? I have to meet up with Lu-" He stopped mid sentance, realizing the words that just came out of his mouth

"Not you too." she sighed

"Who? I wasn't saying anything. Wow, look at the time, I better leave, to do that...thing" he denied

She crossed her arms, her go-to stance when wanting something

"If it's Lucas, I'm fine, I'm not here to tell you who and who not to be friends with. I just want to know what's up."

"It's Riley's wedding. We're going to go find our suits."

"I'm fine, you know? What's wrong with everybody? We had a fling. It's not like I want to kill him."

"A fling? Maya, you guys dated forever. A fling is a one night stand. You guys were in love. Don't go around saying it was a one-time thing, because you and I both know that it was more than that." Zay raised his voice, the eyes of her emplyees buring through them

"Stop it." Maya gritted through her teeth.

"No. You have been such a bitch about how things ended. I haven't seen you happy since you saw Farkle propse to Riley. And when was that? 8 months ago."

"I'm telling you to stop, Zay."

"I will. But neither of you guys deserve this."

Her eyes were burning, trying to hold everything back.

"Control yourself." she thought

"Why won't you guys just stop." Maya screamed

"Maya."

"No. What do you want from me? I miss him. I loved him. Ok? Is that what you wanted?" She said in between sobs

Maya let her tears fall, she was tired of wiping them away.

She ran off, stumbling.

Maya felt the brush of a broad shoulder. She didn't turn back

"Excuse me." She mumbled, trying to look to the ground, so no one would see her tears. All she wanted to do was go back to her apartment

"I'm sorry Maya."

The voice was familiar.

She glanced back at the entrace from where Zay and her were arguing

There he was. He stood there with his mouth in a line, A sad look plastered all over his face.

She stopped dead in her tracks.
