My Girl Meets Farkle Time

[ F a r k l e ]

Riley came running out of the hospital entrance crying.

She ran right past me, and didn't even stop to look at me.

I ran after her, chasing the broken brunette down the street. I reached forward and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to me.

She crashed into me, and cried into my shoulders, with her arms wrapped around my neck.

"Ri-"

"I knew it! She's gone, my Maya's gone" she sobbed, her voice cracked.

"Your Maya?" I was shocked by what I had just heard. Was she... like, gay or something?! Hopefully not.

"My Maya, my angel, my everything" she cried, "not Lucas', she'll never be his!!" she stammered.

Maybe she was.

Maybe she was bisexual.

Either way, she loves Maya, not me.

I just want her to love me.

"Riley" I whispered. Stroking the back of her head, I pulled away from her, and took her hands- which were gently resting on my shoulder.

"Farkle.."

"Hush, I won't let anyone in the world hurt you, okay?"

She smiled.

She smiled. At. Me

"I like you better when you're smiling" I comment casually, making her smile even more. The dimples in her cheeks were deeper than the water in the ocean, her eyes lit up, and the wind was breaking through her hair.

"Th-thank you Farkie" she sniffles, her tears drying.

I felt heat rise up to my cheeks when she called me 'Farkie'

Did I mishear her?

"I'll always be here for you" I take her hand, and lead her down the road.

We strolled through the crowed streets of New York City, passed by the peaceful lakes, and she seemed to get happier every few minutes.

We stayed silent the entire time, but I enjoyed the silence. It wasn't just any silence- it was a beautiful kind of silence, and I never want it to end.

The two of us sat down on the grass, near the lake. The sun was hitting the water in the lake, making it seem like it was shining.

"So, you feeling better now?" I asked.

"Way better" she grinned.

"That's good"

"Why are you doing this for me?" Riley shifted her position to face me properly, "I know we're friends and all, and I know you love me but, why do you care so much? You shouldn't waste your time on someone like me-"

"Someone like you?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Someone as messed up, as useless, and worthless as me. I'm not normal. And I haven't told anyone this yet, because I'm afraid people would treat me differently, but I'm bi, and I- Farkle please don't leave me." Her voice was cracking as she ended the sentence, and before I knew it, she bursted into tears.

I placed my finger on her chin and lifted it, I leaned forward, softly pecking her on the lips.

It didn't last very long, but I felt the flock of eagles soaring in my stomach- screw the butterflies.

As we pulled apart, we turned our heads to a raging voice, that belonged to none other than Maya Penelope Hart.

"Don't touch her!" she shrieked, lurching forward with her hands held out 'like so'

She clawed her fingernails into my shoulder, and pushed down, causing me to fall backwards. By now she was on top of me, so I held onto her wrists, and the two of us tumbled into the lake.

"Maya!" I could hear Riley screaming.

I was released from Maya's life threatening grasp. The two of us floated to the surface of the lake, holding each other by our glares.

Maya climbed out of the water. I was about to when Maya placed her hand at the top of my head, and pushed my head underneath the water.

I could feel the water ripping through my throat, and the lack of oxygen took me out.

The last thing I heard was Riley's panicked voice screaming the words; "Let my Farkle go"
