The moment was nice…for a little while before Riley spoke, her brown eyes darting between the two ex lovers. "What is going on here? Lucas? You just come back into my life; well all of ours and now you want to leave? And with Farkle who dumped you?" Of course she is not opposed to them being friends again but she is opposed at the idea of them going away from her. Maybe there was something she was missing, giving that they're them and she is who she is, they most likely didn't tell her something. It took her a few seconds to figure this out. "Right, what is going on here? I'm guessing you guys haven't told me something to protect me? I need you to stop doing that I'm not a kid anymore."
The boys looked at each other and Farkle was about to tell her it was nothing when Lucas spoke up instead. "Farkle didn't dump me, he said that to I think protect my image or more so your image of me. I'm not entirely too sure why he told you that because it is wrong, I did not get dumped by Farkle. I left him, I got cornered in my issues and he told me to either seek help or just leave. He wanted me to get help; I saw it in his eyes. They were begging for me to choose help but I didn't pick help. I picked the pills and walked away from everyone because you had all agreed on it."
"Agreed on what? None of this went by me? What pills Lucas?"
"The pulls I was taking and abusing. I was addicted to them and picked the dam things over everyone I cared about. Farkle told me you all agreed that it was either them or you guys. I thought you would have known about it."
"FARKLE!" Riley yelled, and doing so made Penelope start crying and Josh decided to take the baby away from this situation so he took her into her room and turned on the TV. Riley had waited until the door was shut before talking again. "What the hell!"
Farkle's eyes went to the ground. "We had only just found about the pills ourselves, me, Maya and Josh and then she went into labour. All of the actions were mine but I thought he would choose us so I didn't think you guys would have minded. And yes, I lied. I couldn't hurt you Riley, I just can't do it yet I always do. You hated me already so why not just make it more. And I didn't want to ruin your image of Lucas and I just needed to believe for myself that I was the one who broke it off. I thought it would be easier for me but no. I still fucking love him, and you know that. I needed to make it my fault he left, and having you believe it to so I could forget about the true reason he left."
It was quiet for a while, no one said anything. It wasn't until Farkle felt someone's arms wrap around him did he look up. It was…Riley? They haven't hugged in years and now here she was hugging him. She pulled away, giving him a slap to his shoulder. "You should have told me that! Because I did think you were the reason Lucas didn't talk to us at all. I would have understood and I would have cheeked on you because…"
Silence filled the air once again, everyone knew what she was getting at but he wanted to hear it from her because they only time she had really showed she cared about him (since the fall out) and that part of him was when it was found out. "What Riley? Made sure I didn't harm myself, you can say those words. But, it's a bit too late to think of that, or show care towards me." What was he saying? He had dreamed about the day Riley cared about him again, yet here he is ruining it. "Maya died, I lost the guy I love and yeah, those helped cause my depression to strike back and hard! It should not take anything happening to make you care about me. Riley, I only want you to care about me because you care about me, not out of sympathy." Farkle let out a sigh, turning to look at Lucas before putting his head in his hand.
Lucas had spaced out; Farkle snapped his fingers in front of the other's face. The older male jumped before he let out a light growl making Riley and Farkle jump back. It took him a few seconds to register what was going on before he looked down. "I…I'm sorry. I don't have a car so either someone is going to call a taxi or drive me."
"I'll drive you; I don't think Farkle drives anymore. Your things are still in the car right? Let's go and you can fill me in on the way. And Farkle, don't think I stopped caring about you."
"It seemed like it with the way you ignored me, the way you would yell at me. The way you treated me after me and Smackle broke up was the start of the cycle. So yeah, you did. Just take him, and I'll be out of here by the time you get back. I have work. Goodbye." Farkle huffed before going to his room, not wanting to hear anymore from the others. He got his things ready and climbed in the shower. He took a long shower, using it to calm himself down.
