Maya:
It has been a week since Riley left, we all start school tomorrow, and we have not seen each other since we found out Riley left. After Mrs. Matthews left us alone all hell broke loose.
Flashback:
We all watched Mrs. Matthews leave the room. Farkle was the first to speak he said, "I told you guys! I told you! But did you both listen? No, you continuously lied to her and convinced us to go along with it even after we told you to tell her! Now look at what you've done! She's gone all alone and we have no clue where she is."
Smackle put a hand on his shoulder and says, "Calm down Farkle."
He just shoots us one more glare and says, "I'm going to take a page from Riley's book I need a break from you two. See you around campus." He takes Smackle's hand and walks out the door.
Zay looks at us with disappointment, he says, "Look guys I know we are all to blame for what happened, but Farkle is right we told you to tell her and you didn't. She has gone to who knows where and she is all alone without any friends to have her back. We are all to blame I have no allusions to that fact, but I just feel like you stuck us in hard position where we had to choose between you and Riley. I'm with Farkle I need some space. Sorry guys." With that said Zay walks out of the apartment.
Lucas looks at me in devastation. He says, "They are right. This is all our fault. We should have told her and we didn't. They wanted us to, they begged us to tell her and we didn't. She wasn't mean in those letters she was just hurt and we did that we hurt her. I just, I just need some time to figure things out. I'll call you when I do that. Later Maya."
Then he too walked out the door. Leaving me alone in my misery. I walked to Riley's room. I laid down in her bed and just let the tears flow.
End Flashback.
I don't even want to start school tomorrow; it doesn't feel right without Riley. My best friend is gone, my boyfriend is MIA, my other friends are mad at us and I don't blame them. Farkle, Smackle and Zay have been hanging out still I saw them one day when I was out for a walk. I imagine Riley finding us the same way and I feel even worse about the whole situation.
And Lucas went back to Texas to clear his head. He sent me a text to tell me that much, but nothing ever since. I don't really know when he's coming back I'm assuming tonight or tomorrow. I hope everything is going well for Riley at least she deserves that much.
I really miss her and I know this whole mess is my fault even Lucas wanted to tell Riley. I knew she was mature enough to handle this; I was just scared I could lose her. In the end, I lost her anyway. Ugh I just want her back. I know I have to give her space because I owe her that we all do. I just want to know how much time she will need. I miss her so much.
