It's been weeks since I've seen Farkle. Zay said to give it time. Things will turn around, but how much time. I've already wasted years. I sigh as I close my eyes and rest back on my seat. Then I hear a giggle that brought a smile to my face. It's her giggle it's Riley. I quickly open my eyes searching for her I know she's here I heard her. I quickly stand and make my way through the subway car. The train comes to a stop and the doors open as I hear the same giggles leaving. Panic starts to run through my body I can't let her leave. I make my way out the door just in time before they close. I turn my head looking for her, then I hear a cry that sends a pain to my heart. What is happening? I turn my head and my eyes lock on a man and a little girl crying on his shoulder as he hugs her. My body starts to move towards them. A feeling of protection goes through my body I needed to help her. What the heck is happening to me? As I walk I felt something on the bottom of my foot, I look down and I see a small belle princess doll. I quickly grab it a dust it off as I reach them
"Excuse me? Is everything alright" I ask
The little girl quickly turns around to face me. Her eyes widen and a smile appears on her face
"BELLE! Princess Belle!" She says as she reaches for the doll
I hand her the doll and my hand pushed against her and electricity runs through my body. Warmth fill my body, I quickly step back as I look her .
"Thank you. She really love this doll" the man says as he stand to meet my gaze
I move my gaze to meet his and when I see his face my eyes widen
"Lucas? Is that you? He says as he smiles
"Charlie?! Dude what are you doing here" I say as I reach out to shake his hand but we end up doing are handshake from when we were young
"I live here now. I moved to study at NYU. I thought you moved back to Texas?." Charlie says
I rub the back my neck " uh yea I did but I came back to fix something. Anyways I see you've done a lot in life" I say as I look at the little girl that was hiding behind his legs
He chuckles as he looks at her and picks her up
"Lucas meet Hope my daughter" he says with a smiling "Baby this is one of daddy's old friends" he says pointing at me
The little girl turns to face me and I can see her features now. She was beautiful, she looks like Riley
"Is he a cowboy to?" She says as she giggle
I couldn't help but smile. It reminded me of Riley those giggle that I miss from her.
"Yes baby his a cowboy to. Sorry she gets that from her aunt" he chuckles
"don't worry it fine " I smile " nice to meet you Hope I'm Lucas "I say as I tip my imaginary hat
She laughs and I joy runs through my body
"Thank u for my dolly" she says
"I couldn't let a princess be sad" I say in my country accent
She laughs again and it as if I'm seeing Riley. I don't know why but this little girl reminds me so much of her
There was ringing as Charlie search for his phone and moves Hope to rest on his side
"Hello. Yes we are on our way. Hope lost her doll but we found it. Okay see you soon bye" he says as he end the call
"Was that mommy?" Hope asks
"Yes it was baby." He says as he placed a kiss on her head
"Sorry Lucas but we have to get going before they end up eating all the food" he says as he chuckles
"Let's go daddy! Before auntie M eat all my food!" Hope yells as she squirms in his arms
He sets her down as we both laugh
" that's okay. Don't worry about it" I say as I take out my card " Here's my card call me so we can catch up man."
"Sure will Dr. Lucas Friar" he says laughing "we have a lot to caught up on"
We laugh as we do our handshake
"See ya later" Charlie says as he takes Hope's hand
"Bye cowboy!" Hope says as she waves and turns to walk
"Bye see you soon!" I say as I wave
I sit down on a nearby bench as I see them walk away. With a big smile on my face as I sit back and think.
Seeing Hope reminds me of my daughter. I wonder what she's doing right now. What both of my girls are doing?
