"SUP LOSERS! We're back!" I say as I swing the door open

"Maya you don't have to yell" Farkle says coming in behind me carrying Hope on his shoulders

"Well how else are these two going to know we're here" I say laughing

I turn to see Riley and Charlie whip their heads to face us. A seriousness on their faces. I can see the anger in Riley's eyes as she looks between Farkle and me.

"riles is everything okay?" I ask coming closer to her

"How could you!?"She says standing up

"What are you talking about" I say looking back at Farkle pleading him to help

"Riley, what's going on?" Farkle says setting Hope down. As she run to Charlie

"How could you!? Both of you!" She say raising her voice

"Riley calm down" Charlie say placing his hand on her shoulder

She closes her eyes as she takes breathe. I stare at Farkle looking to see if he knows anything but nothing his faces read confusion

"Charlie I need you to take Hope somewhere. I have a lot to talk about with these two." She says sternly

"Okay we will finishing talking later, but please calm down okay" he says places a kiss on her head and takes Hope

"Daddy are we going to see Uncle Luke"? Hope says. Who the heck is Uncle Luke

"I'll see if he can" he says smiling. As they walk out the door.

"Both of you! Window now!" Riley yells pointing to the bay windows in her living room

"What is matter with you!?" Farkle says raising his voice. I grab his hand and squeeze it signaling him to calm down. He looks down at me and gives me a small smile

We make are way to the window as me and Farkle sit and Riley stands In front of us.

"How could you not tell me!?" She yells

"Riley! What are you taking about!?" I yell standing to meet her gaze

"THAT LUCAS IS HERE!" She yells throwing he hands in the air

My eyes widen as I stumble back. What the hell?!How could she possible know? I turn back to see Farkle with his mouth hanging open

"W-what are you-u saying? T-that's n-o-ot true" Farkle shutters standing next to be

"Don't pay dumb with me Farkle!" She says pointing at his Chest

"Whoa Riley! Calm down! It's just that's so weird. How could he be back. His in Texas. Isn't that right Farkle" I say as calmly as I can as I turn to look at Farkle .

"MAYA! Don't lie to me! I know you both saw him!" She says frustrated

"I wanted to tell you but Maya said no because you were happy and didn't need to be broken and I saw you all happy and I could break you! Imsosorry!" Farkle rambles as he takes a breath.

I quickly turn and slap his arm "YEA! just blame it on me!"

"Okay fine we both saw him... I was going to tell you but I didn't want to see you broken" I say softly looking at her. I can see the darkness start to cover her eyes

"Well I am broken! Broken because my two best friends didn't let me know about this! I could of been prepared when I saw him - "She ramble as I stop her

"Wait you saw him?!" Farkle and I yell at the same time.

I watch as her body weakens, her eyes become glossy from the tear that are forming.Please don't break

She moves to sit at the window.
"I don't how it happened Maya" she says looking up at me

"What did he say to you" Farkle says clenching his hands

"Farkle relax!" I say taking his hand

"He said sorry... That he loved me. That he wanted things to be how they used to.." She whispers as she looks out the window.

Farkle and I look at each other. Knowing that after all this years there was still a part of Lucas in her. That after 5 years there was still this power over her. That crushed her

"Riley.. You can't believe it" Farkle says sitting next to her

"I know Farkle! Don't you think I know that! I just don't want things to change! I don't want him to take Hope!" She yells looking at both of us.

I stand there watching her. I know her fear. It isn't just changes its the fact that she can fall again.

"Riley tell me the reason your sacred" I say kneeing in front of her

"Maya! I already said why!" She says standing

"No! I've known you forever! I know your fear Riley! This isn't about change or Hope! This is about you still feeling something for him!" I shout making her look at me

"Maya.." Farkle says place a hand on my shoulder

I see as the tears run down her face.. Her body slowly collapsing

"I don't want to Maya! I don't want to feel this warmth he gave me! I don't want the life I have with Charlie disappear because of him! I'm scared that he'll appear again and I'll have relive everything! Having to explain to both Hope and Charlie. I'm scared" she yells through her sob

I quickly make my way to her as I go to hug her. I can feel her body break down. Farkle joins moments later hugging her tightly

"Riley everything is going to be okay" Farkle say trying to calm her down

"How Farkle!? How is it going to be okay!? I don't want to deal with this!" She yells

"Then don't" I say

They both look at me with blank experience

"Hope's party is in a couple of days. Focus your mind on that Riley. Give her the best birthday and after that we will figure something out" I say

"She does have a point Riley" Farkle says

She walks to sit at the window. Given us a small smile. Wiping her tears

"It's about Hope now. Not about me or the past it's about her. "she says

"I'm sorry for not telling you riles. I really am, I just didn't want you to feel like this" I say sitting next to her

"Me to Riley. I should have said something" Farkle says siting on the other said if her

"I know you guys met well. I'm sorry I flipped out on you guys" she says giggling

"You kind of scared me there riles" Farkle chuckles

"Well it's the end of the past! No more talking about it. Let's start planning her party!" I yell smiling

They laugh as Riley leads Farkle to the couch showing him the decorations she brought. I sit there and look out the window

Where ever you ranger Rick stay away! I beg for you not to come anywhere near them. You're going to mess everything up not just Riley but for Hope.
