The pair were back in New York, Lucas had grabbed more of his things from his mother's apartment and brought them to Farkle's, putting them in his room. He was going to use the spare set of drawers from the guest room, Farkle and Lucas had brought it into the room and Farkle left Lucas to his things while he made a call to his mother and asking if he could speak with his sister. Bethany was reluctant to speak with her older brother, but she did. While the brunette talked with his sister, Lucas made good with his promise and made an appointment with a doctor.
The next day they both went to school, Lucas having to make a trip into the principal's office before he could head back into classes. Farkle had already been in class ready, smiling as Lucas entered the room and took his seat next to him.
"It's good to see you in class again." Riley said with a small smile as she turned to face the older. Lucas gave a slight nod of his head in return.
"Yeah man. Missed you here. You feeling better?" Zay questioned.
"I am feeling better." The Texan answered, and it was truthful. He was feeling better then he was before.
"Good."
"At lunch, I need to tell you guys something. It's kind of important." Lucas said, seeing the other nod their heads. They all gave smiles all around before turning to the front of the class.
Lunch time rolled around and Lucas was the first in the cafeteria, so he got his food and sat down at their table. He played a bit with his food as he waited for his friends to come and sit with him. Slowly did they all come to the table with their own food. Riley and Maya were on one side, while Zay at the end and Farkle next to Lucas. The Texan took in a deep breath as he continued to play with his food, he waited a little before he spoke up.
"It's been suggested I go to the doctors?"
"For what?" Riley interrupted.
He sucked in a breath, Farkle giving his hand a little encouraging squeeze. "For an evaluation of my mental health; it could be possible I may have depression and if I do. I want to treat it the best I can because the way I've been dealing with things lately, hasn't been healthy."
"If it's what you want to do. I say do it, it can be a bit scary. Speaking from experience." Riley said before taking a bite of her food.
"Whatever the outcome, you will tell us right? And I know I don't say this often because I care about you. We all do. And we will support you, we did with Riley."
"I know. Thank you guys. This is my last period because my appointment is at two fifteen. But, maybe we can meet at Topanga's around four."
They all nodded their head in agreement and talked about other things until the bell rang.
