Maya had made a complete fool out of herself back there. She couldn't believe that she was on Lucas's side for even a minute especially after what happened between her and Zay and that other guy. How could she be so stupid? I mean Riley is your best friend, be there for her. Don't shut her out because the situation between your two friends takes you back to the moments in your life that made you weak. You have to be strong for Riley. Now is not the time to make stupid choices. Now you may have just screwed over your relationship with Riley your best friend. The one person who stood by you even when you were wrong.

Maya sat on a bench trying to get herself together to see Riley. She contemplated how this was all going to go. Will Riley forgive her or will their friendship be broken forever? The friendship they fought so hard forever since the triangle hassle.

"Maya."

"Shawn."

"You want to tell me what happened back there. Thought Riley was your friend Maya." Shawn scoots a little closer towards her. He pulled her close to keep her warm from the chilly night considering she doesn't have a jacket on. He waited for her to stop sobbing before he hugged her tightly and gave her a tissue to wipe her eyes.

"We are but I don't know. Hearing Lucas proclaims his love and wanting to fight for her after what he did just make sense, you know. I guess that not telling her about Nia was wrong but I just didn't want her to go through the pain of waiting for him to tell her himself and noticing how he looks at other girls or her imperfections." Maya was crying as she poured her heart out to Shawn. If she actually thought about it it is actually an unreasonable choice to not tell her.

She was a horrible friend maybe even selfish but she did what she thought was right by Riley. "So why didn't you tell her that?" Shawn asked as he pushed some of her hair out of her eyes.

"I don't know. Look I think that I just want to go home and sleep it all off besides she doesn't want to see me now." She began to get up slowly, somewhere in the back of her mind she didn't want it to be true because if it was she didn't know how they were going to piece their relationship back together.

"Actually she asked for you about fifteen minutes ago."

"Why?"

"She's your best friend Maya." Yes she was or is or whatever and I won't let her forget it thought Maya as she jogged away from Shawn who still held his place on the bench and climbed up the fire escape and through the window where Riley was eating double fudge chocolate cookies with strawberries and mint chocolate chip ice cream with a bottle of Jack that Jess brought to her. Well, Katie did but Topanga and Cory didn't need to know that. Hey, it may be bad for her in the long run but at least it calms her down and eases the pain.

Maya stood in the middle of the room contemplating on what she should say. Start will hello or sorry, she really didn't know but she knew she had to tell her the truth no matter how hard Riley resisted from hearing the truth.

She knew she couldn't say, "Hey sorry that the relationship that you worked so hard to get ended because of sex."

Riley and Maya stared at each other for a few moments before Riley started to giggle. Riley couldn't believe that Maya really had the guts to come here after everything. She couldn't handle it anymore! This is all too overwhelming. First, Maya lies, Lucas cheats, and of course, Charlie wants to get back together because he didn't get his chance the FIRST TIME!

"Hey," Riley said as she moves strawberries out of the way for her to sit.

"Hey, Riles I am so sorr-"

"No, it is fine Maya I understand that this was just as hard on you as it is for me. Maybe even harder. You don't have to explain." Riley took out a pack of Reese's Pieces and pours them on the ice cream. No, it is definitely not okay, this is insane! How can she be so great about this I lied! thought Maya.

"Will you pass me that." Maya handed her the bottle and Riley took a big gulp and let tears fall out her eyes that she tried to hold in until she saw her best friend.

"Uh, Maya can I talk to Riley for a sec."

"Sure thing Mr. Matthews." Maya kisses Riley's cheek before Riley could turn her head to say no and leaves out the door. Cory closes the door and makes his way into her overcrowded bed and holds his crying daughter. They stayed like this for a while before Cory had the guts to actually say something.

"Riley I am so sorry. I didn't know about Casey or Nia. I just thought that some teenage girl hit on him I didn't think that " Lucas the good" would be this stupid and pull this crap." Sniffs came from Riley as she tries to straighten her face to talk to her dad. It was hard to because of the crap that was on her bed.

"It's okay dad I understand," Riley said getting a tissue and blowing her nose.

Cory scoffs and says, "No it is not okay. You shouldn't have to go through this but then again high school hasn't changed a bit. I know that this has been hard on you Riles but I promise you it will get better. I know this because you have me...and this bottle of alcohol?"

Cory gave her a look that said they needed to talk and Riley retorted, "I think we both know I deserve this." Riley held the bottle up and away from Cory so he wouldn't take it away from her.

"Besides I am not going anywhere, matter fact you can lock the windows. I would rather be here anyway, but of course, I have to work tomorrow morning at Topanga's so yay me! You better take it." Riley moves the bottle towards him and starts to realize that this sucks! Sucks bad. Why does it have to hurt so bad? One minute I am planning a future with him, being one of the most popular girls in school and then this crap happens. Maybe I am just not good enough.

"Oh, no school! Now I have to go and be the girl who got dumped! Dad, I can't go there, tell them I am sick please!" Riley jumping up to plead with her dad. Cory just shook his no.

"Um, Riley I cannot do that."

"Please, dad, please! Wouldn't you have wanted that when you were younger." Riley grabs his hands and gives him a pouted upper lip and sad face.

"Alright fine, but you can't stay in bed all day long. You may want to get up and work on your essay and video for that school in Europe." Cory stated with a smile. This is something that was extremely important to her and a break up wasn't going to ruin that for her future.

"Omigosh I got in!" Riley screams suddenly jumping up and hugging her dad. Great at least there is something she can accomplish without failing.

"Yes, you did we got the letter yesterday. That's why Shawn came home earlier so that we all could celebrate but then we all got a surprise from you and Lucas earlier today." Cory looked at Riley who shrunk in disgust.

"So, sweetie, How are you holding up."

"I am going to be okay I guess this is maybe the universe telling me to move on. Maybe Lucas wasn't meant to be mine after all."

Cory gives her a tight squeeze and says, "Maybe so but what about Charlie? What was that about?"

Riley sat up straighter than she had been and cleared her throat before looking at her dad.

"Well um dad don't get mad but Charlie used to be my boyfriend before Lucas came." Before Cory could respond Riley cut him off.

"I know I know I wasn't supposed to but I just felt like he was so cool and funny and sweet. I mean it's so funny because even Maya didn't know and she still doesn't. Ahem, ahem, hahaha." Riley laughs trying to make it seem okay even though she knew it wasn't, but maybe he would let her off the hook. She did just have a breakup. Riley looks over to her to see if she should keep going when he didn't say anything she did.

"Well before we could get serious about anything it turns out Kaila Peyers had other plans considering that she did like him and so she kissed him right in front of me! Anyway, I knew that he hadn't done anything wrong but when I asked him if he liked it he said yeah. I mean honesty is great and all but geesh come on. So I broke up with him and I regret it because he probably wouldn't have done this to me. So there is my history with Gardner, we dated for four months." Riley held her head down in shame when she actually thinks about it, she would have been happy when Gardner.

Cory takes a deep breath and kisses her forehead, "When did you decide to grow up before my eyes. So did you at least have a backup plan for all the colleges that you chose to go to with Lucas you know besides the one in Europe." Riley nods her head dreading picking up the lists of colleges that accepted her. Lucas and she were supposed to do this tomorrow with everyone else, marking off colleges that didn't accept all of us and then we would find the two colleges that did and fight over them.

Riley smiled at the thought and sighed reading the paper. She saw two that she definitely wanted to go to. "Well there is the one in Oregon, California, but I don't know..."

"Well ask yourself this, " Do you want to rebuild your relationship with Lucas or forget about him?"

Forget about him, what if I can't? thought Riley as she groaned in her father's arms.

"Hello, may I take your order today?" Riley said coming over to a young couple with a smile. They looked like a happy family.

"Sure um...oh Riley?" Oh no, its Nia and Casey and...tada! Lucas. Don't make a scene girl just because they are holding hands and you see them leaning into each other and wow Jess was right the baby is really cute and adorable. This does not mean anything, just keep your cool girl.

"So what will it be today?" Just force a smile maybe it will go quicker. Oh, wonderful he smiled back, what a wonderful and beautiful smile he has. It reaches up to his beautiful perfect blue eyes. Snap out of it Riley, he is not yours anymore.

"Um we will have a hot chocolate and you Nia?" Well, at least we aren't we.

"I will have a piece of your wonderful Cherry pie and a glass of milk please." Well, at least she has manners.

"Great choice, coming right up after I take their order so sit tight." Wonderful sit tight wow Riley just smile and keep walking and gosh please don't fall.

Just take this person's order and you will be fine, Riley thought to herself.

"Hi, may I take your order please?"

"Omg, is that Lucas with that girl? Who is that and why is she with your boyfriend? Are you guys not dating anymore? Oh, is he finally available? Girl, you have to give me all the news on your relationship with that hottie over there." A perky redhead oh how wonderful. I bet he would love her she looks easy.

"Um yeah, we are not together anymore. Um, he is an uh douche and if you want an easy lay just go ahead but uh beware because he has a baby with that guy over there." Riley said pointing over to Nia.

They were arguing over something and also trying to calm down Casey at the same time.

"Guy?" The redhead looked at her with disgust and surprise.

"Yeah, you can do that now. You know with technology these days anything can come out of a man or woman. So what would it be?"

The girl looked back and forth between Riley and Lucas and the guy?

"Uh, I will take a piece of blueberry pie to-go because I need to get away from that disgusting son of a bitch. He is in high school and that is just so nasty!"

"Okay, coming right up," Riley said writing the order down and going to get both orders ready.

"Uh hey, Riley, do you know that girl?" Jessica asked as she walked around the corner to get to the cashier.

"No."

"Well uh, she just snapshots the entire school about how Lucas has sex with a man and how they have an actual man-child and that Lucas is gay and is a father to an abomination." She exclaimed as she read the screenshot of it.

"Yeah, how did she do that this fast?" Riley asked as she finished the to-go box and the hot chocolates.

"Riley! No, you did not!" Jessica exclaimed hitting the cash register.

"What! He embarrassed me so why can't I do the same." Riley looked at Jessica while cut a medium-size piece of cherry pie and putting whip cream on top with chocolate shavings.

Before Jessica could respond, Riley went to place her orders and to go home for the evening.

"Here we go! Two hot chocolates, a medium size piece of pie and one glass of milk. Enjoy and if you need anything else just ask the waitress there Jessica." Riley moved quickly to the redhead who was eyeing Lucas since Riley left to pull in the orders.

"Here you go and that will be two dollars and fifty cents. Thank you, enjoy and have a nice day."

The redhead stops Riley from walking away and said," No thank you. Here is your tip."

"Um, thanks. Come again." Wow! A hundred dollar bill! I can add it to my college fund along with everything else, Riley thought sadly still wondering about the meeting with her friends about colleges went without her.

"Wait, I can't take this. I mean this is just so unreasonable. I only broke up with guy. Ten is just fine." Riley tried to hand back the tip to the redhead but the girl would not take no for an answer.

"I am Angela Friar. Lucas' cousin and I think that you deserve that and more because he is an idiot. Yeah it is unreasonable but I feel pity for you because you are so nice. So keep it." Angela said walking away with her pie.

Okay, that was weird. Almost like a miracle.

"Oh and Riley, I may have sent a snapshot to uh maybe everyone who is a girl that I know of at your school. Before you say how remember Lucas was helping you out for Homecoming Queen and you got a hold of all the girls in your class and gave them each a pie. Anyway, good luck and no matter what I am always here for you."

"But wait, if you are his cousin why did you call him a hottie. I mean it couldn't just be me but uh that is kind of nasty."

Angela laughed and told her that she just wanted the scoop that she knew she wouldn't get from cousin on her own and goodbye.

"Bye, and um thank you." Riley thanked the Lord that the perfect little family had gone to the restroom so that she could make a quick escape out of there.

Riley began to walk home, she didn't realize someone was calling her name until they tapped her on the shoulder. Riley turned around to see her uncle Josh out of breath.

"Josh what are you doing and where did you come from?" Riley asked bewildered looking around and then at him. Josh had to catch his breath and when he did he pulled her into a huge bear hug. When they pulled back he had tears in his eyes.

"Josh, what's wrong? Is it Maya?" Riley thought something bad had happened. Even though their friendship is over with she still cared about her.

"We broke up."

Oh, shit.

Hey, guys, I tried to make this longer than other chapters but my brain wanted to break it apart. So I am hoping to write another chapter sooner than later and I hope that you guys like this and um have a spectacular day without me because I forgot to do my homework. So yay me!
