Lucas entered Topanga's, Maya right behind him.
-I said I want to talk to you Huckleberry.
The boy sighed and sat on one of the sofas.
-OK, I'm listening.
-What was that about "asking Topanga if she had a reason"? Are you actually defending her? SHE CHEATED ON HER HUSBAND!
-Yes, and there's many reasons why she did it. Perhaps if Riley knows, she might get some of her life back and
-A… Are you telling me, that you could justify cheating in a relationship?
-No, look, it's not that, it's just
-Shut up. I… I can't believe I had feelings for you… for a guy who probably was going to get any bimbo in his bed while having a relationship with me and then convince me that "he had a reason"... I'm going to be sick…
-It's not that, Maya, please let me explain
-I need to go check on Riley, goodbye.
Lucas lowered his head as he saw the blond girl leave. At the Matthew's apartment Riley was frozen in the place she was standing, on the sofa, the same sofa where she and her parents shared so many memories was her mother and the same man she saw having sex with her.
-Riley, I thought you were sleeping
-What… is… HE… doing here
-Riley this is
-He's the bastard you're cheating dad with, I know…
-RILEY MARGUERITE MATTHEWS!
With tears running down her face Riley walked to the adults.
-what? You want me to apologize to him? To the reason my family is destroyed?
-Topanga I think I should leave, I don't thinks this is a good time and
He realized Riley was glaring at Topanga
-you thought I was sleeping and you brought him here… why? Were you going to have sex like you do in your office?
For the second time in her life Riley felt the hand of her mother cross her face. Crying she ran out of the apartment. As she ran to the street she felt the cold air of the night hit her full, she didn't knew where she was going, all she wanted to do was to get as far from there as possible. Meanwhile Maya crawled through the window, she was surprised to not see Riley in her bed. Curious she walked to the living room where she saw Topanga and a man talking on the sofa.
-Look… she's been too affected by this whole situation and
-Where's Riley? - Maya asked
Topanga glared at her.
-She ran out… I was trying to tell her about me and Matt but she got all upset and
Maya's eyes opened wide.
-You… you brought him… here?
-Look Maya I'm not going to di
-I'm going to look for Riley, enjoy your "night"
Before Topanga could say any other word the blonde girl ran out, she knew the dangers of the streets and for a girl like Riley a small one could turn into a nightmare. Fortunately, and after an hour of walking Riley arrived at a place she had been before, she wasn't sure if it was a good idea but it was that or finding a place to sleep on the streets and after what happened with Richard and his friends she wasn't going to risk herself again. As she entered she heard loud music and realized it was party night, she smiled weakly as she remember the first time she was there and how quickly she was adopted by a girl's fraternity. Remembering the dorm room she knocked, an african american boy opened the door, he looked at her from head to toe.
-Well hello there, come in pretty lady.
She walked inside the room and suddenly found herself against the wall.
-So, you want some action with the Slickster?
It was then when she realized he only had a towel below his waist.
-Come girl, don't be shy "unwrap" your present…
-I want to see Josh. - Riley said pushing him back
-Ohh you Josh's girl… sure, no problem, I'll call him.
Riley sat on her uncle's bed and waited, moments later the door opened and her uncle came in.
-So where's the chick you said wants m… Riley?
-Oh you know each other, cool, hey, I'll leave you the room so you can have fun, there's condoms and stuff on my second drawer if you need 'em
-WHAT? - Riley stood up embarrassed and upset at the same time, while Josh lowered his head
-She's my niece you moron.
-Wow… I've heard people had strange fetiches but this one takes the cake. - the other boy replied
-I'M NOT HERE TO HAVE SEX WITH MY UNCLE! - Riley blew up
She walked to the young man.
-Oh and something else "slickster", I'm 17.
Saying that the young man was as white as a piece of paper was an understatement.
-oh… I…. I think I have to be somewhere else…
As the door closed, Riley sat back on the bed and glared at Josh who knelt before her.
-I… I want… I want to crash here for couple of days…
Josh's eyes opened wide
-whoa whoa… wait a minute, you know you can't do that
Riley looked at him upset.
-Why? Because I'm not staying to have sex with you or your friend
-RILEY!
-I'm not as naive as you think I am… I know what happens here, you can bring "chicks" and they can spend the night having sex with you, but if your niece needs a place to sleep so she doesn't have to do it on a park then that's "strictly forbidden".
-Wait a minute, I think you're messing everything up
-AM I? Then why does your buddy have condoms and "stuff" in his drawer? Sex ed? No, you already had that in highscho…
But she couldn't finish, her eyes closed, darkness engulfed her and she collapsed to the floor. Meanwhile Topanga was about to go to her room when someone knocked at the door. Taking a coat from the sofa she walked and opened it
-You forgot your coat and… oh Jesus…
