I do not own any character from Girl Meets World. Have a great day! And enjoy.

The next week Riley was back at school, linking arms with her dad as they walked into the building. All throughout the day Riley had been receiving comments vocally, or through a note or on her Facebook page about how she is a slut, and a whore, and she never had deserved someone like Lucas. Boys would come up making advancements on her.

Riley tried really hard to stay strong, and to just go numb, but it felt like an impossible task. She couldn't wait until lunch, where she could be sitting in her dad's classroom with Maya, and Farkle eating lunch and not worrying about what anyone else might say. As she was walking through the halls during her study hour, the hour before lunch she saw Lucas at his locker.

"Hey Lucas! Thanks for the flowers." Riley mustered out a fake smile. She was really thankful for the gesture, it was just a rough day and smiling was a hard task to do.

"Oh, hey Riley." Lucas closed his locker, and leaned up against it. "I'm glad you liked them. How are you?"

"Do you actually want to know, or are you just trying to be polite." Lucas began to think Riley no longer beat around the bush; she was cut and dry, and straight to the point. She had changed a lot this summer.

"Of course I actually want to know how you're doing." Lucas knew that this might be more of a private conversation. "Let's go to the library, and sit in the back corner to talk."

They made their way to the back corner and Lucas kept standing until Riley sat down in a red cushioned chair. Lucas sat down across from her, leaning forward, hands cupped together, really ready to hear how his ex-girlfriend is doing. Maya was right. If he really wanted to know how Riley was doing then he needed to start being more of a friend.

"So tell me how you are really doing." Lucas held eye contact with Riley's brown eyes. He could see the tears welling up, and he grabbed the box of tissues beside him, handing them to her.

"It's been a really hard day Lucas." Riley's voice cracks, and breaks. She is sitting in the chair with her legs tucked under her. Her eyes are looking down at her baby belly. Her hands resting on it gently, stroking it, trying to reassure herself that she is okay. She had been trying to focus on the life forming inside of her, instead of the life she was living outside of her protective belly. "Everyone has been making all of these mean and rude comments." She flips over her purse, and a huge pile of notes fell out from other people. "They are all calling me a slut, a whore, telling me to go die, and saying that I should have never dated you, because you deserve better." Riley began to cry, and hiccup. Lucas saw those brown eyes, filled with the soft hearted Riley that he knew, and that he had missed.

He never wanted to end things with Riley but because of what he did, because of him cheating, he didn't feel like Riley could ever take him back. He felt unloved in his own way. He looked back up at Riley to see her once unbreakable spirit, falling to pieces in front of him. He reaches out places a very soft and gentle hand on her shoulder. "Riley you are anything but those things. You are loving, and caring. You put your friends first. You would never just sleep around with a bunch of men. And you definitely deserve better than me." Riley could feel herself falling for him all over again. She missed that reassurance that Lucas always offered to her. Riley begins to try and get her legs out from under her so she can stand up and leave. "Oh here, let me help you with that." Lucas begins to stand up.

"No. I got it." Riley looks up at him as she is attempting to get up. "Lucas I can't fall for you again." Just as she says that last part she falls forward, off of the chair. Lucas acted fast, catching her, and he gently placed her back up. "Lucas, I can't do it. Every time I look at you, I want nothing more than to be enveloped in your arms, and to feel safe. That's what I wanted all summer. That's what I want now, but I can't. I can't be in love with you again. We dated for three years, and you hurt me. You hurt me deeply. I couldn't go to you when I needed you the most. I can't be with someone who I am always there for, but who is never there for me. Just leave me alone from now on!" Riley turns around and walks away as fast as she can, making her way towards her dad's classroom.

Lucas stood in shock as Riley had walked away. He had never heard anything from her, about how she felt about the break up. It was all one sided. Lucas did the breaking up, because he wanted to try something new, and he didn't want to ever hurt Riley the way he had already done. But here he thought that by the time the school year started they could go back to being friends. He assumed that she would have had a summer of fun, a summer filled with time to get over him, but instead she had a summer filled with tragedy, and no time to get over him.
