"Look, I don't understand why Lucas would do this to her but I do know that we can't let him hurt her again and that is why I wanted to talk to you. Look, Riley needs someone right now and it can't be one of us. We kept too much from her and Jessica too. Jessica and you need to be there for her more than ever."

"Wait, why me?"

"Yeah, why him?" Zay asked too because even though Charlie seemed cool and everything, he still felt as if he was betraying his friend.

"Because Riley still loves him, at least I think so." They turn around to see Josh, Riley's uncle, who looked very pissed and holding ice cream.

"Josh, what are you doing here?" Farkle got up to help him with the tray full of ice cream. Once they sat down, everyone let out a deep breathe.

"I came because I knew that something was wrong with Riley and I was getting the girls some ice cream but then I heard you all talking. Lucas is a jackass. I should have never given her the okay to go out with him. You are saying that Maya knew about this." There weren't many things that ticked Joshua Matthews off but when it came to Riley or Maya… Let's just say it does not get pretty.

"That's what we think but… I don't know. All I know is that we need to be here for her even if she doesn't want us. I mean we did keep this from her. I swear Josh we were only trying to save her from getting heartbroken but that soon backfired on us. Look, Charlie is here to help us with all we can, right? Charlie?"

Everyone turned to see his seat empty and sighed. This is going to be a long night.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lucas was furious that Riley did not come to her father. This was supposed to be easy because let's face it Riley Matthews is a chump and completely gullible. Lucas and Cory walked out of the school and got into the car to go to the mall. Well, Cory was dropping him off because he had to go somewhere else.

Lucas made his way to the prom dress shop because he and Riley were going to go there after school. He was almost there when he bumped into someone. That someone was Charlie Gardner. Fucking weirdo. "What the hell are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay away from Riley?" The son of a bitch had to nerve to give that signature smirk of his.

"Well, she sure isn't trying to stay away from me since I will be the one taking her to prom." Lucas took a step back before pulling his fist to punch that exact smirk off but then someone was holding him back.

"Riley?"

She looked pissed and annoyed but more at him than Charlie and that pissed him off even more. "Lucas, what the hell are you doing? Leave Charlie alone now and just go. I got my dress and a date to the prom, move on because I did." She walked away with Jessica and Smackle. Maya, Josh, Charlie, and Farkle stayed behind. I was still in my fight stance when I felt a blow to my jaw and it hurt like a bitch.

"Joshua! What the hell?" Maya was trying to pull him away so that they wouldn't have to get kicked out of the mall.

"Don't Maya. You knew and you didn't even tell me." Josh calmly walked away from her mumbling about how they need a break or something about talking and trusting. Maya turned to me and started to cry. "This is your fault, you stupid jerk!" She ran after Riley and Josh.

Zay walked over to him to help him up but punched him instead. "She's right, you are an idiot."

He left, too, after Riley. Farkle was the one to help him up and stood by Charlie giving him a disapproving look. "They are all right you know. You're such a jackass that you can't even see what you did is wrong until Riley breaks up with you officially... " He scoffs and shakes his head. "I don't even know if she will because you have her wrapped around your idiotic finger! Whatever but when she does you will find out just what you lost. Do you even hear me?"

Lucas dusted himself off and looked Farkle right in the eye and said, "The way I see it is that I still have time before prom to convince her to get back with me. Hey, thanks, Charlie."

"For what? What are you thanking me for? Huh?" Charlie came to stand over him. Over the years, it was Charlie who got taller and a little buffer. Lucas was a little over 5'9 and buff but Charlie was well over 6'2. Which worked perfectly for Riley who was 5'9 herself. Lucas smirked.

"Because she will regret agreeing to your pathetic attempt to date her or court her or whatever bullshit way of speaking you two seem to have and come back to me. Like she always does because you see I am the better man." Lucas finished puffing his chest and grinning big.

"Oh yeah, well what kind of man tells a 15-year-old girl to get an abortion? Matter of fact what kind of man treats his woman like you do with Riley? She is not a toy Lucas. She is a human being that can't just bend to your liking, you sick bastard." Farkle stated as he came to stand by Gardner. He too was well over 6'2.

"Yeah, well, this sick bastard is going to piece back his relationship with his 'woman'." Lucas grinned even more while walking away to catch up with the rest of the Scooby gang.

He stopped abruptly before turning towards them and saying, "Gardner you will never be me and you will never understand or know that love that Riley and I share together." Then he left, for good.

"Trust me I don't want to." Charlie turned to Farkle and told him to go and he would meet him at school tomorrow.

Sorry, I know it has been awhile but I just couldn't bring myself to write this part of Lucas' bullshit. So, I did and now I feel crappy. Anyway, I have s schedule now, so you all won't be waiting forever for an update. I will be putting it on my profile and I will try to keep up with it. Again sorry for the really long delay and I will try to get in another chapter soon. Alright bye. Love you guys. : )

Remember to Remember Me by Zendaya. I can't stop playing that song. It has been on Replay, get it. : )
