Hello! Guys I've been thinking of ending this story and I will probably post 3-4 more chapters including this one unless you guys really want me to continue before we say goodbye. But I will be starting a new story based on episodes in Series 2 from mainly Lucas and Farkle's POV and maybe some Maya POVS but I will be trying my best to forget Riley for my next story. And if you guys guess who Laurie is based off, I will give you a prize of your choice (I do draw a line somewhere though!) So yeah here's chapter 7.

I sighed as I went through some old memories in my head. The day me and Lucas had first met. He really had been very special to me and I don't think I'll ever forget him. Or my first date with him. He looked utterly and completely handsome. That dirty blonde hair ruffled up, the smiling jade green eyes and his casual t-shirt and jeans. The few nights in Texas were amazing. I did realize that I was much more comfortable around Lucas. Me and him had so much fun. But that moment when he fell of the bull felt like a hundred years had passed. I actually think that was the moment where I matured little. In that moment, I hadn't thought the amount of worry that filled me was a possible amount. But when he opened his eyes and saw me, I knew it had been the right thing to do because no one should ever look back and regret something that they didn't do when they had the chance.

'Oh um, I'm so sorry. I was miles away. Are you oka…' I stopped, as I looked up into the eyes of a very handsome young man also known as Charlie Gardner.

'Charlie,'I questioned, confused but trust me definitely in a good way. 'What are you doing here?'

'I came to win you back.' he answered solemnly but there was a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

'I'm glad you're here Charlie.' I answered honestly, it was great to see an old face that didn't have bad memories attached to it.

Maya POV

Now look people. Let me give you a few tips to survive in this world. You mess with my family? I'll get angry. You mess with my friends? I get angry. If you hurt Riley, I'll come after you myself. She has something really within her, the ability to see the sunny side of the world 24/7. No matter how many times she has heard of murders, riots, wars, she will always believe it is good. I believe in her believing that. We need a little more of that in the world.

I looked around, the coffee rooms for Riley because honestly that's probably the only place she would be.

'Hello? Riley? You in there?' I paused not really wanting to open the door, because for some reason, old lady secretaries used this place to gossip about the 'handsome' parcel deliverers who, I'll just give you a little tip her, are over 50.

Trust me when I say, that I was not expecting a pair of golden brown eyes with little golden flecks staring back at me.

Riley POV

'So tell me Charlie,' I asked conversationally, 'What are you actually doing here?' I was curious because Charlie and I hadn't really kept contact when we graduated.

'I told you already, I'm here to win you over.' He replied flippantly but anyone could see his serious stance.

I waved my hand, trying to distract him from my blush. I wasn't the same girl I was in high school. He wouldn't like the new me, 'Charlie, you don't even know me.' I looked at him trying to convey how serious I was about this.

'Well give me a chance to know you. I've chased you for so long. Have I finally caught?' h asked, his brown eyes holding hope.

A shy giggle escaped from me, he really was very charming, 'Ok, Charlie but you only have one date, one chance.' I couldn't take the seriousness and I laughed, 'come on, let's have some coffee.'

Lucas POV

I had to find Riley, I needed her to know that there was nothing real between me and Laurie.
