A.N.: Hey guys!

I´m back with a new chapter for you guys and it´s as promised longer than the first one!

I was happy about the feedback I got from you guys! Especially since it´s not a canon couple that I´m writing for, but I also think that Lucas should´ve thought for Maya in some way! You guys are amazing! Keep it up!

As well as I will keep up my chapters and I hope that you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it!

If you do enjoy it let me know, in the comments below! :)

Previously...

She knew that she had to find Riley at some point and talk about this. Tell her that she should go for the Cory to her Topanga and become happy. The Matthews girl should´ve never stepped back. Maya and Lucas? It was ridiculous to think of the blonde that he could ever choose her over Riley, right? Maya liked him and he would take Riley first any time and that was what hurt her so much. Riley had to wait. Maya had a Cowboy to get over, if she ever could after what happened between them.


A few days later at the Matthews apartment

``Riley, we need to talk." Topanga stated, coming inside of her daughters room. It was three days since New Years now and the new school year would start in only a couple more days, but Riley hadn´t come out of the apartment since the thing that happened at New Year. Of course she had left her bay window open for her best friend to climb in, but Maya didn´t. Riley did tell Farkle that she wasn´t mad, but at the same time she did not want to talk about this anymore.

Lucas on the other hand hadn´t even written her yet. Neither him or Maya had followed her after she left. Farkle told her over a quick text message that they in fact did not kiss after this and Maya left a few minutes later, too after talking to Lucas. Now Riley felt horrible, because she destroyed their relationship.

But at the same time she could not help what she was feeling for the Cowboy at all. She liked Lucas. She never stopped liking him. At least she was sure of that, wasn´t she? Maya liked Lucas, too though. They almost kissed twice...

``Riley!" Topanga now cried and Riley snapped out of her thoughts. Her mom shook her head at her and then stated, ``Go and get dressed and come into the living room. We need to talk and no, there is no way you can back out of this and take your bag with you." Riley looked in disbelief at her, but her mom was already out of her room. So all she could do was do what she said.

She changed into a white romper with a rose shirt, some rose sneakers, a floral bag, some make up and her hair was in waves. She did look decent for the fact that she had stayed in her pyjamas the biggest part of the past three days.

After one last swallow she went out of her room and into the living room where her mom was sitting. She sighed relieved while asking, ``No dad?" Topanga looked at her daughter while pointing at the couch where Riley sat down slowly, a bit less tense since it was only her mother right now.

``No dad. I felt like this is a woman problem you need to talk about." Topanga stated. Riley just looked down at that , so she continued, ``Where has Maya been the past three days or Lucas? Or Farkle? Or even Zay and why did you not go out of your room at all? What happened, Riley? Your dad and I are concerned about you. Did Maya and you have a fight? Is everything all right? Does it have something to do with Lucas?"

Riley flinched at that, not replying at first. Of course her mom would notice. Maya was normally here every single day and she hadn´t showed up once the past three days, so this was really odd. But Riley had just kind of hoped that she wouldn´t notice.

The look on her mother´s face said something else though so Riley swallowed. She could not deny it anyway. ``We didn´t exactly fight, but Farkle kind of blurted out at New Years Eve that I still have feelings for Lucas right before Maya and Lucas could have their New Years kiss and since then I only talked to Farkle out of the group and Maya didn´t show up and I really don´t know what to do." Riley replied, looking down.

She had never felt so bad in her entire life. Maya had stepped back for her the whole time and now she had not only ruined her first kiss, but also her first boyfriend as it seems. Who has also been kind of Riley´s first kiss and first boyfriend.

Topanga looked shocked at her daughter, but instead of saying something she took her into a hug. She did not know that and she especially did not know that Maya wasn´t coming, because of a Lucas situation. They had told each other to stay besties even with a boy in the picture, didn´t they?

``Oh, Riley. Why didn´t you tell me earlier? Maya and you shouldn´t put your friendship on the line for a boy. Even if it is Mr. Perfect Lucas Friar." Topanga told her and Riley looked at her with glassy eyes, not saying anything.

`´But we both really like him.`` She stated, sighing and Topanga sighed as well, still hugging her daughter. ´´What am I supposed to do , mom? I need help with this and I can´t talk to Maya about this." Riley added desperate and her mom looked at her as if she was crazy. Okay, her daughter definitely had to remember one thing.

She stood up, taking Riley with her and then replied, ``Yes, you can. You will right now. Katy and Maya are at Topanga´s. We´re going there, too right now."


At Topanga´s

``Don´t look at me like that, baby girl. You needed to get out of the house and you know that." Katy stated, looking at her daughter who was slumping behind the counter, shooting her mother mean looks every time she passed by to get something for a costumer. ´´Unless you are going to go to Riley´s and talk to her like you two are supposed to do." Katy added. She did not know what exactly happened yet, but she knew that the girls weren´t talking to each other and she wanted them to talk t each other. Everyone wanted it.

´´No, I´d rather stay here, shooting daggers at my mom who dragged me here and made me change. I like my PJ´s and New Years was only like three days ago. School is in 2 days. I still got time to get out of bed." Maya told her to which Katy rolled her eyes, looking at the outfit of her daughter.

She had black ripped jeans on with a grey shirt that said `Nap Queen` and black boots. Her black bag was on the counter and she had some make up on. Her hair was in two french braids that went down her shoulders in the front. She hadn´t looked that dark in a really long time and Katy did not like it. She was doing this for her daughter and not against her. Maya just did not want to understand that yet, because she was sad, mad and all these kind of things in her young teenage heart.

´´It´s a New Year, sweetheart. Spend it with the people you love and make up with them. There´s nothing that should tear Riley and you apart." Katy said to her. But before Maya could reply something to that someone else did.

´´Your mom is right, peaches. We need to talk." Riley said to her and Maya looked at her, her mouth opened wide, not knowing what to say. She knew that her best friend was right. It wasn´t like any of this was really Riley´s fault. It wasn´t her fault that Lucas liked her more than he did like Maya. If he had ever liked Maya was still a mistery to the blonde that she didn´t know, if she wanted to find out.

So Maya just nodded, walking up to her best friend, holding her hand out. ``Bay window?" She asked and Riley responded, ``Bay window right now." With that they walked out of Topanga´s and to the Matthews apartment into Riley´s room.

As they arrived there they sat down, at first not saying anything to each other, just staring at each other. Riley felt beyond horrible for what happened and she knew that she had to start this. ``I´m so sorry, Peaches." She told her blonde best friend. Maya in turn looked in disbelief at her, not understanding why she was apologizing right now, so she completely turned to the girl.

´´You don´t have anything to be sorry about, Riles. First of all, you weren´t even the one who spilled your feelings and second of all you should´ve told me. I would´ve-" Maya started, but Riley cut her off.

´´Never acted on your feelings to Lucas, if you knew? That´s why I did not tell you. I wanted you and Lucas to feel whatever you feel. I know you like him, Maya." Riley said to her and Maya swallowed. As much as she hated it right now, she did. She liked the Cowboy so much that it hurt and she hated it, because he hurt her at New Years Eve. She still wished that he would´ve chosen her. She wanted to be with him, but he did not want to, right?

´´Well, but that doesn´t matter, because he still likes you. I asked him kind of and he didn´t answer as I told him to- He does still have feelings for you Riles and you have feelings for him still, too. You guys should become happy. I want you to be happy. I´ll get over it." Maya told her, but the blonde knew that she wouldn´t.

Riley was shocked and at the same time happy as she heard that Lucas still had feelings for her. But she did not want her best friend to step back again. Maya did want to though, because she felt like she would only be hurt. She wanted a boy to fight for her and not to fall for her best friend all over again.

´´I don´t want you to be hurt, Maya." Was the only thing Riley could say in that moment and Maya sighed, looking down not knowing what to reply to that in that moment. So Riley just took her into a hug.

´´It´s kind of already to late for that. Huckleberry made his choice and you should go for it. I want you to be happy. I´ll be allright eventually." Maya said and swallowed while Riley hugged her tighter. She did want to go for Lucas, but she did not want to hurt Maya. Yet she did not know what she was supposed to do.

So she broke apart and then asked, ``No matter what happens between us and Lucas, we are still best friends right?" Maya looked at her, understanding that they didn´t really come to an agreement, but Riley could not say that she wouldn´t try it with him. Maya would step back again unless Lucas decided he wanted to fight for her.

So Maya nodded, taking her best friends hand and said, ``Always."


At Lucas apartment

``You need to do something, Lucas. Our group of friends is breaking apart." Farkle stated, coming into Lucas room along side Zay who was nodding eagerly. Lucas who had spent most of the past three days in his bed groaned, putting a pillow over his head, not wanting to talk to the two boys who had sent him dozens of text messages the past few days. That he only answered with short replies or no answers at all, because he had done a lot of thinking these days.

´´Farkle is right, Lucas. You are destroying the whole group with this and at the same time any chance with any of the two girls. What Farkle did wasn´t the smartest move, but you do have to choose, man." Zay added what made Lucas groan again.

´´Who let you in?" He asked annoyed, not wanting to talk about this. He didn´t know what he was feeling and he did know that he was screwing it up right now, but this was really hard for him and he did not know what to do. As he thought Riley didn´t like him like that anymore it seemed like a good idea to see how it would work out with Maya, but until the very day since him and the blonde beauty never worked out things he was still confused about his feelings to her.

And he didn´t know, if he still had feelings for Riley and what these feelings kind of exactly were, because all of this was just confusing to him as heck.

´´Your mom let us in, because she thought you need to get back into a normal human being who gets things figured out and doesn´t spend three days in bed while vacation from school.´´ Zay replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world while Farkle nodded, looking at his best friend on the bed. He did still feel kind of bed for blurting the whole thing out like that, but this had to be figured out right now in his opinion.

´´Yeah, this is no solution Lucas. I don´t regret what I did on New Years Eve. You, letting Maya go away shows that you are confused and that is not fair to neither Maya or Riley." He added to what Zay said.

Lucas swallowed and now finally sat up, looking at his two best friends. ´´That´s the problem. I do think that I kind of still like Riley, but I still don´t know about Maya. I really wanted to kiss her back at New Year and then Farkle you blurted this out and now I am just confused. I don´t know what to think." Lucas told them in all honesty and Zay and Farkle looked at each other. ´´I would´ve kissed Maya, if you wouldn´t have blurted that out, Farkle."

´´We saw that. You guys were like a centimeter from each others lips away.´´ Zay pointed out what earned him a glare from Lucas. The other Texas boy threw his hands up and added, ´´You got a real problem there, dude. The blonde beauty or the pretty brunette."

´´But..." Farkle said to him. ´´No matter who you choose, you have to talk to both of them or make this clear. They are both hurt. Well, maybe Riley is just confused, but Maya is hurt and you know it. I heard the talk between you guys and you should´ve said something. Anything and not just stare at her as if she knew the obvious answer which was that you did not choose her even though I think that you have feelings for her."

Lucas swallowed and looked down. ´´I don´t know guys. Being with Riley has just always been so easy, but Maya is – different. More adventerous and at the same time more caring than anyone else. She went off the moment you blurted the thing with Riley out and that thing- ARGH!" He screamed the last part and Zay and Farkle both held their ears.

´´Wow, dude. You really are messed up right now. You got to fix this. For the sake of these two girls and all of us and your love life. You´ll never get a girlfriend like this agan." Zay stated the obvious and Lucas just rolled his eyes at his best friend.

``As if that would be my biggest problem right now.´´ He mumbled, thinking of the two girls that were driving him crazy in two completely different ways.


A.N.: If you haven´t noticed, this story starts off with kind of a triangle first, but it definitely is Luaya endgame.
