Chapter 7: Let Me Explain
Last time on her and him:
"You need to fix yourself so you can fix Farkle!" I glared at her hurt. So she only is using me to fix Farkle.
"So apparently, you're using me so I can fix Farkle? You don't even care about what I'm going through?" I snarled.
"Well because you are being dramatic. Lucas and I are not dating. And we never will. You guys are. Farkle on the other hand is being made fun of. Not you, you always make it about you! Farkle is always in the shadows." I stared at her intently.
"Get out!" I said. She stared at me.
"Ri-" I cut her off.
"Get. Out!" I exclaimed angrily

said.
"I love you too but if Maya wants to be like that then so be it. She's been hurting me so much lately that maybe she wasn't a good best friend after all." Lucas looked at me in sincere and shook his head gently.
No one's POV
His girlfriend can be stubborn. But Lucas needs to talk to Maya. He needs to help his girlfriend in any way. She can't just throw away their friendship.

Riley's POV
"I'm sorry Riley. You have no idea, how utterly sorry I am." Maya said.
"It's okay Maya. I know you like Farkle." She stared at me hard.
"N-no I don't!" Maya stuttered. I smirked.
"Admit it, you do!" I exclaimed. She groaned.
"Fine, I do." I squealed in delight.
"Shut up Matthews." I giggled slightly.
Two hour later...
I was at my locker when Charlie Gardner went up to me.
"Hey Riley!" Charlie greeted.
"Oh hey Charlie." I said.
"You look really pretty today." I smiled at him.
"Thanks Charlie." The bell rang. Thank the lord. Charlie makes me uncomfortable. He leans in and starts to kiss me. I was about to push him away until...
"What is going on here?" My eyes widened and I glared at Charlie.
"You got to be freaking kidding me! Charlie, what the hell?" I screamed.
"Lucas, Riley deserves better. She told me how much she should of never dated you and you are the reason to her sadness. She just pitied you because of your expulsion secret." Lucas's eyes looked like he was about to cry.
"You son of a bitch!" I yelled. Charlie and Lucas was taken by surprise. "Lucas, you need to let me explain!"
"What's there to explain about? You never loved me." I shook my head violently.
"Why would you believe him and not your girlfriend? Do you even trust me? You know I didn't kiss him at all! You kissed Maya and I forgave you!" I yelled at him. "I had always loved you and I still do."
"Riley, this is different. Charlie is my worst enemy. I knew you guys had feelings before." I laughed humorlessly.
"We never had feelings. I loved you and only you! Your so oblivious, you are doubting me!" I screamed. I was so hurt, tears were streaming down my face. Charlie came up to me and hugged me.
"Maybe, he wasn't-" I forcefully pushed him away angrily.
"Get the hell off of me. You were the cause of this. If you didn't make a move on me and was so desperate to be with me, this would not happen. You are so pathetic that you actually had a nerve to make a move on a taken girl." Charlie walked away surprised.
"So now you! Lucas, do you think I'm a slut who goes cheating on you with the guys?" I asked angrily.
"No of course not!" He exclaimed getting angry too.
"Well it sure looks like it. Do you know how much I love you? I think about you the first thing I wake up and the last thing when I go to sleep. I still get butterflies in my stomach when I'm near you. When we kiss, there is still those fireworks I can see. I can tell you anything. So if you don't call that love, what do you call it?" I screamed. I took a breath.
"Riley, I do love you. Just seeing you with another guy that isn't me, kills me. You need to know I'm protective."
"I know you are. We've been friends and dating for a long time. I know who you are. I know your so protective with your friends especially me! But, you have to at least trust me! If there is no trust there is no relationship." I stated.
"What are you saying? That you think I don't trust you? Because I absolutely do." He said. "Do you trust me?"
"What kind of question is that? I trust you with my whole life. You helped me through the darkest times and was there for me. I think you doubted this relationship before haven't you?" I asked. He went silent. I was hoping he said no and I could feel my heart breaking.
"You did?" My voice cracked.
"After I cheated on you. I realized maybe we weren't meant to be. That maybe this was a sign to move on but then I wanted to see how this lasts then I realized that I can't let you go because I love you so much." I looked at him.
"Lucas, I forgive you for cheating me. I forgive you for being over protective. I forgive you being angry." I said. I was close to new tears now. "But I don't forgive you for ever doubting our relationship and my love for you." I was crying now and he was about to too.
"No. No Riley! I really did love you.! Don't do this." He cried and I engulfed him in a hug.
"I'm sorry but I think we need to break up. Just like you said, try to move on." I whispered and walked away. I was in front of the school and right there, I burst into tears. I cried so hard and I was gasping for air. I was sitting with my legs close to my chest. I had my head down and the tears kept on flowing.
Lucas's POV
I didn't know what to do. All I did was just fall to the ground and just let out the tears.
"Argh!" I screamed on the top of my lungs. Mr. Matthews came out.
"Lucas!" He rushed towards me.
"Are you okay?" I just sobbed and he pulled me close. I started crying on his chest and he sat there waiting for me to calm down. After the tears didn't come out anymore, I decided to tell him what happened.
"Riley and I broke up." I told him.
"Why?" He asked. I started to explain to him about what happened. I'm a little afraid of what was going to happen.
"It's funny. That's how Topanga's and my big fight went." He said. "Look Lucas, all the advice I can give you is don't give up. She will come back to you, give her some space. If your love was strong, I'm sure you guys will be just fine." He said.
"Thanks Mr. Matthews." He smiled and nodded.
"Where is Riley?" He asked .
"She went out of the school." I said and he walked away. Five minutes later, he came back with the color drained away.
"Lucas-"
Hey guys. Sorry it took so long to update. Writers block and school. So that was very intense. Can you guys please give me some ideas?
Thanks. Until later...
