A/N: Originally was supposed to be a one-shot but decided against it. Decided to make this story into a four-part story. And here is part two.

Enjoy!

Yeah I've been feeling everything

From hate to love

From love to lust

From lust to truth

I guess that's how I know you

So I hold you close to help you give it up

-Ed Sheeran, Kiss Me

Riley and Maya stayed talking in bed for quite a while. They enjoyed their "me time" and each other. It felt like such a weight was lifted off their shoulders as they finally accepted that not everyone was going to have an epic love story like Riley's parents. But they learned they could write their own.

Even though Maya said that Riley was in no way like Cory and Topanga, relationship-wise, she thought back to the days before seventh grade and to a boy that was long forgotten. She wondered just what that boy was currently doing and decided as Riley stood to take her shower, she would contact their old friend.

This is going to be one epic weekend, smirked Maya.

Riley didn't know how she could tell him in a nice and well-mannered way. Maya said just rip the band-aid and move on. And she guessed she was right. Riley wasn't happy and neither were her friends. They all were miserable because of the triangle thing. She knew that if Farkle could throttle Lucas, he would.

If you didn't know, well now you know, Farkle was very protective of Riley and Maya. They were his family and he would do anything for them. They didn't know how far that line went but it was pretty far.

It surprised them that he didn't step in long ago.

But that was of no one's concern now. Riley needed some courage to break off whatever it was that she and Lucas had. She needed to do it before their trip ended because she feared it would never end.

But Maya went first. She was glad too because it gave Farkle and her time to interrogate her uncle on his feelings and true intentions with Maya.

"Well?" asked Farkle.

"Guys, it's not like I am Dracula. I am not going to leer her in and then break her heart or suck her dry. I love her." said an amused Josh.

"Hey! Are you saying my best friend isn't worthy of a hickey?" exclaimed Riley.

At that Josh's eyes enlarged twice the size of his head, "I am not even going to have that conversation with you, Riley. And you-" he pointed at Farkle,"Yes, I love her and she does know it. And I am not walking away from her, ever. Not again. So, are you guys happy now?"

They both smiled.

"Of course, Uncle Josh. But um... would go save Maya from Lucas?" All three looked down from the top of the stairs to see an uncomfortable Maya trying to break whatever it was her and Lucas had off. Josh sighed. He couldn't say he was jealous but he did want to break something off the insecure cowboy.

He ran down the steps as fast as the flash.

"Hey, Maya, let's go on a hike. Yeah?" He pulled her up and out the door they went. When they were far from everyone's eyesight, Josh pushed her against a tree and pressed his mouth to hers.

Both releasing a groan at the sudden contact, they fumbled with each other's clothes. They both wanted to somehow get even closer than they were but Josh knew she was too young for that. So he settled for her lips. Her soft plump lips that were begging for a good makeout.

Damn Huckleberry, what the hell were you doing for a year?

"Well, well if it isn't Josh and Maya or Maya and Josh. Who would've known?" came a voice neither of them expected to hear from, ever. They broke apart with one name escaping their mouths.

"Jake?"

"Riley? You wanted to talk with me." They were currently at the bay window and she was nervous. Not because of what she had to say but because she still wanted him as a friend. And she realized that they weren't really friends but two people who liked each other but never took the time or had the courage to take a chance with one another.

"Lucas, I think you know where this is going?"

"Yeah, and I just have to say that I made my choice," he said with a smile.

She smiled back,"Before we get to that, I need to say something."

"Okay."

"Lucas, you are a great friend. You listen and we have wonderful conversations but it's not enough. You aren't what I am looking for and I, in all honesty, don't even know what I am looking for. I mean I am just fifteen in high school. I learned that I needed to stop trying to be my parents. I need to be myself. And you are a wonderful guy but you aren't that guy for me."

"Wow. Are you breaking up with me?"

"Yeah, yes, I am. I am sorry Lucas but I realized that I can't be with someone that would and could drop me for my best friend or someone else faster than I could say Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. What we had was great until you decided to act on feelings for Maya. And I let you and that was my fault. I let you come between me and my friends. And right now, I am choosing my friends over you."

"I sure hope so because I have heard some interesting things about you Riley that is quite shocking." They both turned to a boy, no not a boy, a man. Two inches taller than Josh and had long blonde hair with a beard stood Jake Pierce Morgan, a boy she knew long ago.

A/N: Tell me what you think. Who is this mystery, boy? Any guesses?
