Hey all! SO I know it's been forever since I updated I just didn't know what to write… awful writer's block.. Anyhow it's kinda short, kinda a filler and I tried writing two different scenes at once, i hope it works out… Thank for all the review I really do appreciate it. I will try to update more often… read and review!

MAYA POV

He smiled softly, almost as if he was afraid of my next move. He stepped closer so I could hear him.

"What are you doing here?" I raised an eyebrow at him

"What do you think? It's a party Brandon." I said sharply. His smile grew, and he was chuckling. He had the nerve to chuckle at me. He put his hands up in mock-surrender

"Hey, Hart. I just didn't think this was your scene. No need to be feisty." I sighed, before rolling my eyes and turning to walk away from him. I felt him grab my elbow slowly spinning me towards him.

"Let's go for a walk, I think we need to talk." he said softly, almost pleadingly. I hesitated and looked down at my feet, it probably wasn't a good idea to go for a walk. My friends would probably lose it But he was right, he did need to talk. I want an explanation, I need one. I looked back into his bright blue eyes, eyes that represented fun and recklessness, I bit my lip and nodded curtly.

Riley POV

I was waiting at my bay window thinking about what Maya had said. She left about an hour ago and i've been here ever since. I looked down at my watch I had half an hour before Lucas arrived. Definitions change. What does that mean? My mom will always be my mom, Auggie will always be my little brother. If those don't change why should these? How different would my life be if I didn't have Maya, or If Zay and Lucas didn't move here.

"Earth to Riley?" I shook my head and looked towards the voice that had joined me on the window sill. I looked at him with shock and then looked back at my clock and frowned.

"You're early."I stated. He chuckled and nodded

"Left the house as fast as I could, I can't stand wedding prep"

"Why not? That's the best part Lucas!" He laughed

"For people like you perhaps, I find it extremely boring. What movie are we watching?"

"Hmm I don't know whatever's out I guess. Let me get my coat and wallet and say bye to my dad" He nodded, crawling out the bay window and down the fire escape. I ran out muttered a quick bye to my dad and followed him out. We walked in relative silence to the subway. It wasn't comfortable but it wasn't awkward. We sat down on the uncomfortable seats and he chuckled, I raised a brow at him, silently asking him what was funny.

"I'm just imagining Farkle at this party, he's an awful dancer." I thought about before I joined him.

"That's nothing, he's better now than he was. In grade 7, he did the Tango with Maya." I said laughing, He threw his head back and shook slightly for is laughter.

"Great job on you game, you did wonderfully." I told him after another long pause of silence

"Thanks RIles, I hope it was good enough." he said looking down at his hands. I moved to place a hand over his.

"Of course it was, You did your best Lucas that's all that really matters" He looked up and gave me a small smile and sighed

" I hope you're right."

" I usually am" I said his smile widened

"You always know what to say Riles" I chuckled taking my hand off his and bit my lip. Things were awkward. I felt it, and I know he was feeling it as well.

"What happened?" I said, he looked at me confusion taking over his features.

"What do you mean?"

" I mean when did we lose the ability to talk to each other? When did we start sitting in awkward silence. I miss you, We're supposed to best friends." I said softly, the end of my sentence barely louder than a whisper.

MAYA POV

We walked in silence, neither knowing what to say.

"How bout there?" he finally spoke up,pointing to the swing set that was in the far corner of the backyard. I nodded before picking up an unopened bottle of beer that was on the table near me, he followed suit and then placed his free hand in his pocket before making his way to the both sat down on a swing and drank in silence. I surveyed the backyard, I could see Zay making out with a redhead near the bar, Farkle on the other hand was nowhere to be seen. There was an intense beer pong game going to my right and I couldn't help but smile as I watched Billy down his cup. I sighed before turning away from the lively scenery in front of me to look at the boy sitting next to me. He was looking down at his feet, his fingers slowly ripping of the wrapper of the beer bottle. He was nervous, I could tell.

"Brandon?" He looked up and faced me

"You wanted to talk, so talk." he bit his lip and nodded, and after a small pause he said

"You look good Maya." I snorted

"Is that what you wanted to talk about? How good I look? Cause if that's the case there's not much for you to tell me, I know I look good" He had a small smile on his face

"That friend of yours, Riley, she's a keeper." I rolled my eyes

"Oh perfect, are we now complementing the company I keep, Cut to the chase" he chucked

"So full of fire" he commented as I raised an eyebrow at him

"I'd be lying if I said I never liked you Maya, you were… fun, but after I ended it, I did my best to stop thinking of you. Which in some ways were easy, we didn't have the same classes or friends or even live in the same neighbourhood. Two weeks ago though I was paired up with your friend and boy did she let me know how much she resented me." I looked at him silently urging him go on

"And at first her resentment her anger seemed misplaced to me, We didn't have a bad break up per say. But I realized I never really told you why. It wasn't working out, Hart. You knew it as did I. I explained that to her one night but she wasn't having it, she went on and on about how I hurt you…. Did I?" I looked down at the bottle in my hand and took another swig.

"Did you what?' He rolled his eyes

"Hurt you."

"You were my first boyfriend, the first guy to make feel I don't know warm and desired and then one day you up and tell me that's over, that it's not working out and I don't know why, you let me believe that I did something and I couldn't say anything to you, my stupid pride wouldn't let me. You were another person I let get close and you walked out on me, you left just like he did. I went to riley and lost it. So to answer your question yeah you hurt me."

LUCAS POV

She was looking at her hands and I instantly felt guilty.

"We are best friends" I said firmly, She looked up at me her brown eyes usually warm and full of hope looked sad

"Are we?"

"Yes, I know things have been different lately Riles but that doesn't discredit our friendship."

"Why is it different Lucas?" I bit my lip, Telling her I think i'm falling for her best friend was not a good idea, not a good idea at all. I looked around the subway, it mostly empty, the usual business of it all was gone, it was silent almost somber.

"Because I " i sighed I wasn't really sure how to put things into words, I turned to look at her she was still staring at me, waiting for me to answer her question.

"I had to sort things out, i needed to figure out how I felt, i needed space." she laughed almost bitterly

"Seems everyone is in need of space lately." I winced at her tone, this was not going according to plan.

"Riley-" she cut me off a slight blush rising to her cheeks cause of her anger

"What Lucas? What are you not telling me?" I shook my head

"It's not for me to tell" It wasn't a lie just not the complete truth

"The whose is it to ? Farkle?" I shrugged

"Give'em time"

"I shouldn't have too" she said sharply

"Why is it that everyone feels the need to shelter me? I'm not a child, I'm supposed to be your best friend, their best friend. You don't conspire against your best friend." I looked down at my feet

"No one is conspiring against you" I mumbled

"Is that so? Because lately Zay seems to be the only treating me normally, I haven't see Smackle in two weeks, You barely talk to me, Farkle doesn't look me in the eye, and Maya's lying to me" I looked up at her when she mentioned Maya's name and a new wave of guilt flooded me. I was reason Maya was lying to her.

"Like I said not a conspiracy. No one has seen Smackle in a while, and if it really bothered you call her. And as for Farkle the kid is just stressed, exams are coming up he's a little ditzed. He threatened to physically fight billy the other day, he has a death wish. As for Maya, she would never do anything to hurt you and you know that. Sometimes you have to trust that she's doing the right thing, you know you'd be the first she'd tell when she's ready. And Riles I told you I needed to figure out how I felt" She nodded slowly listening to what I said.

" And did you figure it out?" I nodded

"What's the verdict?" she asked gently, her gaze returning to the floor . I took a deep breath

" I don't think, that this, us will be anything more that what it is. I mean we're best friends and that's what we'll most likely ever be and it's what we're good at." I saw her close her eyes and crunch her forehead, Her hands balling into little fists. SHe was upset and that's not what I wanted.

"RIley we went on one date back in grade 9, and it was awkward and i did like you, alot it just -" she raised her hand up effectively cutting me off

" I don't want an explanation Lucas, Our stop is here anyway. Let's just go and watch the movie." Her tone was soft and detached. With that she got up and stalked out of the compartment leaving me a little shocked. I got up and followed her out not knowing what to say.

Maya POV

He nodded, before taking another sip of his beer. We relapsed into another moment of silence. He bit his lip, I could see the gears working in his mind, and I want no I need him to say something. I waited for another minute before sighing and getting up to walk away. He grabbed my arm once again and turned me to face him.

"Look i'm sorry for hurting you that wasn't my intention. I never wanted you to hurt but you have to understand I needed to end things, I needed to let you go and our relationship just wasn't fair to me."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"It means exactly that. I was into this way more than you were and to be quite honest it scared me. I liked you Maya a lot. And we just weren't made for each other and we would've ended thing later on down the line. Ending things when we did meant I didn't get hurt."

"You didn't give us a chance. You can't predict what might have happened." He chuckled and took another step closer

"It wouldn't of worked. No matter how you act you care about what others say, you care about what your friends say. ANd your friends hate me, it wouldn't of taken you long to break up with me because of them." I shook my head slightly offended at his words

"I would never. I liked you a lot too, I put of with all the bullshit they gave me for you. How dare you tell me how I felt and what I would do because Brandon you sure as hell don't know me."

"I know you a lot better than you're letting on. Maya I might've hurt you but I didn't break your heart, First boyfriend or not, you were never mine. I don't like sharing and I certainly don't like competition " I looked at him in confusion

" there was no competition" I said softly moving towards him, he chuckled

"Oh but there was" I widen my eyes as i realized what or rather who he was talking about.

"He's my friend." I said quietly, not understanding my I was explaining myself, to my ex of all people. He reached forward to cup my chin, moving me so I was looking up at him

" Sweetheart, I don't think he got the memo, Because he doesn't look at you like a friend should." I bit my lip, my blue eyes looking into his.

"Why are you telling me this?"

" I wish, I knew" he said his thumb slowly caressing my cheek

"I wish I knew what to do about you" he said tenderly, And I shouldn't have done what I did next. I want to blame it on the alcohol and the atmosphere, my friends would surely murder me but I leaned forward and placed my lips to his. He stiffened at first but i felt him relax rather quickly. his hand moved from my chin to grab my hair the other wrapping around my waist and pulling me flush against his hard cool body. I grabbed fistfuls of shirt inching him closer if that was even possible. He opened his mouth letting me deepen the kiss. We fought for dominance before breaking apart for air. Breathing heavily he chuckled placing his forehead on mine

" I did miss you Hart," I grinned

"Friends?" I mumbled, He took a step away from me, I could see the faint color of my lipstick transferred to his lips. He nodded slowly, smiling at me lazily

"Whatever you want Hart" before leaning down and connecting our lips once more.

I know don't hate me, I just want to keep brandon around and ending their thing completely wouldn't let him stick around. BUT DON'T WORRY THEY WILL NOT DATE OR START DATING OR WHATEVER ELSE UR THINKING. JUST FRIENDS ! also any ideas feel free to pm me i love hearing what others ideas :)

Keep reading and keep reviewing loves:))
