Hope you enjoy!
Corey and Topanga decided it would be best if they took Riley to the hospital tonight to be in the psych ward, for a few days. Maya and Farkle said they would stay with Auggie until Corey or Topanga came home.
They occupied Auggie with movies, board games, and pizza. Shawn came over later that night to join in on the fun, and to tuck Auggie into bed. As Shawn was putting Auggie to bed, Maya broke down crying on the couch, where Riley was found.
Farkle came over to Maya, wrapping his firm arms around her, holding her into him, and reaffirming her that everything would be okay. Maya had thought about how much all of them have changed from middle school. Riley was a mess at the moment, Maya was still just Maya, and Farkle had changed a lot. He had begun working out with Lucas a year ago, and had now well-toned muscles, and he no longer looked like the weak little dork he used to be.
Lucas walked in through the door, and sat down on the chair next to the couch. They all sat there in silence thinking about their broken friend, and ex-girlfriend.
Maya broke the silence by standing up, and beginning to yell at Lucas. "This is all your fault! You did this! You broke her heart at the beginning of the summer. You left Farkle and me to pick up the broken pieces! You were not there for her when she needed you the most! You continued to date the slut who you cheated on Riley with! You let her find you and Alison in your bedroom naked! It's all your fault she is so broken! How dare you come here and think that you can be here for Riley and pick up the pieces now! You're too late!"
Lucas stood up, keeping his distance from Maya, but he blew up. "Hey! Riley and you being raped is not my fault! The rest of it, feel free to throw my way! Your right! I ditched her, but it's not all my fault! Riley is at the lowest of the low right now, and I'm here now! I didn't know about anything that was going on this whole summer. I would have been there if I knew." Lucas sunk back down into his seat.
Farkle stepped in. "Maya, Lucas is right, not all of this is his fault."
Maya stormed off upstairs, into her best friend's room, and sulked on the bed.
Farkle looks back at Lucas and says "What are you doing man?" He takes a short pause. "You can't be here unless you are willing to stick around for Riley. You can't just come and go from her life whenever you want. Riley can't have that right now. She doesn't deserve that."
"Farkle, I promise I will be sticking around for the long haul. I broke up with Alison, and I want to win Riley back." He runs his hand through his hair. "I missed Riley all summer."
"Stand up Lucas." Farkle and Lucas stands up. Farkle pulls Lucas in for a hug. "Welcome back Lucas. I've missed you."
