"They could be and you can't just keep it to yourself or else it's going to destroy you" Maya told me and I just rolled my eyes.
"Let it go Maya and you too Riley" I told them.
"Come on Lucas, talk to us" Riley tried to tell me.
"I'm going out" I told Maya and Riley.
"Where you going" Riley asked me while she crossed her arms.
"I'm going to talk to Farkle okay" I told both girls.
"Well don't forget to tell my parents where you going" Riley told me and I just nodded. I grabbed my backpack and I told the Matthews that I was going to visit Farkle. I sighed before I rang the doorbell that belonged to the Minkus residence. Farkle answered it and I was glad.
"Lucas what are you doing here" Farkle asked me and I sighed before looking down at my hands.
"I need to tell you the truth about everything since you are my best friend" I told him and I saw excitement on Farkle's face.
"So I am your best friend now" Farkle crossed his arms.
"Zay, and Billy are also my best friends don't forget that" I told Farkle and Farkle just rolled his eyes at me.
"Where your father" I asked Farkle and Farkle just sighed.
"Working but he should be home tonight" Farkle informed me and I sat down on my bed. It was silent for a few moments and I took a deep breath because Farkle needed to know, Farkle needed the truth I know he does.
"Dad has a drinking problem and mom needs my dad to survive" I confessed to Farkle and Farkle eyes went wide in shock.
"Dad back in Texas used to hit me all the time. I'm staying at the Matthews" I told Farkle and Farkle just sighed.
"So when you came in school that one day with a black eye that was because of your father" Farkle asked me and I sighed. "Yeah you know I still think that it's my fault that somehow I deserved it" I put my head in my hands and Farkle put his hands on my shoulder.
"You don't deserve it and regardless of what you did, your parents should never abuse you" Farkle stated to me and I sighed.
"I keep trying to state it's not abuse but it's abuse isn't it" I looked at Farkle and Farkle just nodded at me.
"What am I supposed to do now" I got up from Farkle's bed pacing back and forth.
"You need to report it Lucas" Farkle told me and I shook my head.
"I can't do that" I responded to Farkle.
"You can't keep living there, they might end up killing you" Farkle told me and the realization came to my face that children gets killed daily from child abuse.
"I don't want to move out of New York. I finally got a fresh start" I sighed while placing my head in my hands.
"Why don't stay the night. You must be tired of Maya and Riley" Farkle suggested to me and I smiled at him.
"Thanks Farkle, I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind, he really cares about you" Farkle told me and I opened my mouth but then I closed it and Farkle must have sensed it that I was holding something back.
"Lucas, what else are not telling me" Farkle faced me and I just looked down at my lap.
"I think my dad raped me" I said to him but when I said the word rape I felt somewhat sick to my stomach and Farkle sat back down on the bed. I just looked at him and Farkle gave me the look to keep going to keep talking about it.
"I keep having flashbacks or pop up memories in my head and I don't know what to do" I ranted over and over again to Farkle and Farkle just sighed.
"Who else knows about this" Farkle asked me and I sighed once again.
"Only Maya and Riley I just told them today" I answered him and Farkle sighed while looking worried at me.
"Do you think your father is capable for something that terrible" Farkle asked me and I just thought about it and I sighed.
"Yeah maybe he tried to rape me before" I looked at Farkle and Farkle rubbed the back of his neck.
"I have to tell someone Lucas. I can't keep this to myself" Farkle told me and I grabbed his arms.
"Please Farkle I didn't tell you so you can tell someone this" I was begging Farkle to keep this secret for me.
"I wanted to be honest with you but if you going to tell someone about this then I won't bother telling anything to you ever again" I commented to Farkle and Farkle shook his head.
"I don't care" Farkle stated back to me. I sighed and I just looked at him.
"I don't even know if what he did to me is just a false memory" I told Farkle
"And that's why I don't want any adults knowing about this" I confessed to Farkle and Farkle sighed.
"Okay I won't tell anyone until you are 100 percent sure, it's not an false memory something that your mind made up" Farkle told me and I sighed.
"Thank you I really appreciate it" I told him while hugging him a bit.
