Lucas was fast, no doubt about that. He had made it to Farkle's apartment before him as the older had decided to go off into a sprint after leaving the café. He knew Zay would most likely tell the girls of what happened years ago. When the younger caught up to the older, he was slumped against the door of the apartment. Farkle fished out his keys and unlocked the door, waiting for Lucas to stand up and walk in the door before he followed in and sat next to Lucas on the couch.

"You know Maya didn't mean what she did."

"I know, I guess with everything else that has been going on. I just snapped. I can generally take her mocking." Lucas replied as he rested his head in the crook of Farkle's neck and shoulder. His nose nuzzling a bit at the exposed skin of the other. "I'm sorry."

"I don't think I am the one you need to apologise to for this."

Letting out a sigh Lucas nodded his head a little. "I know, I will. When I see her next I will."

They were like that for a while before Lucas ended up falling sleep, Farkle managed to move and not wake him up. He had gotten him a blanket and placed it over him before he went into his room to do his homework. An hour went by before there was a knock at the door. Farkle went to open the door, there he saw Maya and down the hall he could actually see his sister coming. He motioned for Maya to come in and left the door open for his sister. Maya walked right over to where Lucas lay asleep.

"He's been doing that a lot lately. Sleeping." Farkle said with a small shrug as he took a seat next to Maya.

"Like Riley did…" Maya realised, that was what Riley was like when she had depression. She was always tired or would fall asleep more often. Maya took hold of Farkle's hand and gave it a squeeze. "He's really lucky to have you, as someone who cares about him. I can see what he likes about you. I came over to tell him that I am sorry about what I said, if I had known, I would have tried to be more careful. But I don't want to wake him up, he looks so…peaceful. Like he isn't falling apart anymore. You're going to make sure he's always alright."

"Of course. I care about him. And I know you still do, you wouldn't be here if you didn't."

"Maya? Is that you?" A mumbled came from where Lucas was as he sat himself up. "I'm sorry for snapping at you Maya. I just haven't been in a good place lately."

"That's okay. I'm sorry for saying what I did. I'll be more careful now, and Lucas, you know you could have come to us about it. Any of it. I just want you to get yourself better, and I haven't stated this yet but; if either of you break each other's hearts, you'll have me to deal with." Maya playfully threatened the two.

Lucas let out a small laugh and held out his arms to Maya, who rolled her eyes but gave him a quick hug. "I know you care about me. And I promise not to break his heart." He pulled away from the hug and smiled a little. It was pretty genuine this time.

"And I have no intentions of breaking his either." Farkle spoke reaching over to give Lucas' hand a squeeze.

"But you do your sister's heart." Came a voice from the door frame.

"Bethany, no. I never want to hurt you, you're my sister how could you ever think that. I love you."

"But you know how I feel about Lucas."

"I know, which is why I tried to keep mine down. It worked until…"

"Bethany," Lucas interrupted "I don't like you like that. I've told you that, you're four years younger than me. And I am now eighteen, going on nineteen in four months. It wouldn't have worked. For that, and because I do like your brother. I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you like this. Or make you hate your brother, but you shouldn't blame him for what I caused. Hate me, not him."

Bethany frowned, there were tears brimming in her eyes and she walked over to her brother who stood up and opened up his arms. She sniffled a little before hugging him. "I'm sorry Farkle. I…I want you to be happy. I'm sorry for being an annoying little sister with a crush on your friend. I love you too."

Farkle hugged his sister back before they pulled apart. "I'm sorry too."

"You two make each other happy. I know this, I've seen it. But break my brother's heart and I will be after you Lucas." Bethany threatened before smiling and heading to her room.

"I'm glad you two resolved that." Lucas said.

"Wow things really having been blowing up for you Lucas." Maya said before standing up and leaving the apartment with a goodbye to the pair.
