When Riley woke up she began to freak out, it was dark and she wasn't at home, nor was Farkle with her. She stumbled over and fell to the floor, getting up she walked out the room. Riley didn't usually come to Farkle's, at the time they became a couple she was at her father's family home and when they were 'just friends' everyone went to her house. Now she was beginning to regret that as she struggled to find her way around. After a while she gave up and rang Farkle. He picked up
"What's up sleeping beauty?" she scowled
"I'm lost, I stumbled out of your room and have no idea where I am" there was a moments silence and Riley could hear him fidgeting.
"Ok take the next left and you should see a staircase, follow it all the way down and it should take you to the living room, everyone is there" she muttered a quick okay before doing what he said.
The living room was lavish that was for sure, yet it was also pretty homely and that's why Riley like this room out of all the others, minus Farkle's. When she got there a woman jumped up.
"Oh Riley, my dear sweet niece has our little flower been corrupted?" Farkle blushed deep red and Riley began spluttering whilst Morgan wailed with laughter at their embarrassment. Riley stood still and Mr Minkus looked amused.
"No… no Miss Matthews, I would never-" Farkle began.
"I don't know about never kid but I trust you, I know you wouldn't corrupt my innocent little niece just yet!" Farkle breathed a sigh of relief but Riley's eyes widened in fear.
"My dad, doesn't he doesn't-"
"Oh no Riley I told him it was all innocent, to be honest at risk of sounding unmanly I thought you both looked kind of well… cute" both the teens blushed deep red. Morgan and Stuart shared eye contact and laughed.
"Awe look they're all embarrassed!"
"Am not"
"Yes you Riles" Riley didn't argue back because Farkle erupted in a bout of coughing and it was only then she remembered he was ill. She rushed over and made him sit down.
"You know you should be resting" she reprimanded. Farkle smiled meekly,
"Probably" she just sighed. He wouldn't admit defeat until it smacked him over the head with a solid gold pan. Morgan's phone blinked and she read her text.
"Come on Riley, your dad is having a hissy fit" Riley looked towards Farkle and kissed him, he tried to protest at fear of getting her ill but she just smirked, kissed him again and followed her aunt to the car.
"So you talked to cheating scoundrel yet?" Riley shrugged, she'd almost forgotten she'd told Morgan about Maya and Lucas.
"No and I don't really plan on it" she replied. Morgan's eyes narrowed.
"Riley I love you but I've seen you at your worst and I refuse to let yourself get that bad, so talk to him or you'll regret it and we all know what you do when you let everything fester" Riley saw her aunt's eyes flicker to her arms and she unconsciously pulled her sleeves down.
"I haven't done that in two months aunt Morgan"
"I'm proud of you for that Riley but you know that he's part of the reason minus this bully who's name you refuse to say" Riley didn't say anything after that. Her aunt had a point, she'd sunken down before and if she didn't sort out her priorities she may sink that low again, she couldn't let herself do that she owed herself that much.
