Falling Slowly (A GMW Fanfic)

19-Stories and People

Riley's POV

Iris and I stayed up all night talking about our families. I told her about Maya, Lucas, Farkle, Auggie, mom, and dad. I even told her about Uncle Shawn and Uncle Eric. I told her about Mr. Feeny, and Missy.

"So, is this Missy girl a part of your story?" she asks me.

"Yeah. Like, a huge part." My eyes widen as I say the word huge.

"Can you tell me your story?" she asks softly. I nod.

"It's now or never." I shrug.

I told her about everything. How Missy has a crush on Lucas. And how she was jealous. I told her that Missy told me to back off, but Lucas and I fell in love. I then told her about finding out that Maya is in love with Lucas, and her storming out. I told her that Farkle got her, yet she's still in love with Lucas. I told her about the whole makeover thing, where she told me. I told her about the locker incident, and how Maya thought that I had betrayed her. I told her how she kissed Lucas, and he pushed her off right away. I told her that I kept Maya's secret safe. I told her how I completely ROASTED Missy. (She laughed at that part.) But then I told her that she was taunting me, and that I could only hear Missy, I couldn't even hear Lucas screaming my name. I told her about me jumping on her, and throwing her out, and Maya coming in. I told her how she found out about Maya being in love with Lucas and all, still not letting Lucas know. And I told her that he respected that. I told her how Maya set up the roof that night, and how Farkle and Lucas did on our makeup. I told her that Missy came out and threatened me when they all left. I told her that she punched me, kicked me, beat me, cut me, pulled my hair. I then told her that she tossed me off the top of my apartment.

"She THREW you off a building?! All for a stupid guy?!" she exclaimed, waking the others.

"Okay, what?!" I hear Sam say. They all wake up and walk over to sit on my bed.

I repeat to the part that I stopped at.

"She threw you off a building?" Lindsey asks. I nod.

"I think that she should be in an insane asylum instead of a jail for teenagers!" Kali laughs.

I then continue the story. I tell them how I landed in a hammock, and how my friends were all looking for me. I told them how I couldn't speak, how I could barely reach the top, yet I did in a matter of about 45 minutes. I told them their reactions, and how the guys freaked out when I was in a sports bra. I told them how Maya looked at my legs, and the guys again freaked out when I was just wearing spandex. They all laugh.

I told them what happened at school the next day. How she put a gun to my head, how I said my goodbyes, how Maya pulled me out of the way at the very last minute. I told them how she made me confess my biggest secrets. I told them my biggest secrets. I told them about the hidden camera, how we used it against her in trial. I told them how Missy used it against me. I told them what happened in the court room. How I tried to fight back, but nothing worked. I told them the last glimpse I saw of my family. I told them, and Iris a review, the stuff they gave me, and I showed them. They awed at everything, especially Lucas'.

"Wow. That must've been terrible." Sam whispers. I nod.

"But, if any of that never happened, I wouldn't have met you guys." I smile, and they all hug me.

The door then slams open. "Ladies! You are being transferred to a prison closer to New York. Gather your stuff, and come with me." the same guard burst through at who knows what time in the morning.

We all look at each other, and shrug. We all gather out stuff. I make sure that the necklace and ring are still on. Check. I check the time on dad's watch. It's 2:15 in the morning.
