What we could've been

I need a friend right now

"Man you can't just leave Riley. Look I know your scared and all but Texas can wait until after the baby." He says as he place his hand on my back

I push it away " no zay I can't do it! Don't you get that! I need to leave! Texas can't wait, I don't know when I'll get another opportunity! I yell

"Moral compass Riley needs you! You gunna have a baby! You can't leave her 3 months into the pregnancy! He yells blocking my way from the door

" Zay get out of my way" I hiss

"No! Your my friend I'm not gunna let you screw up" he pleads

I push him and he falls to the floor "look Zay I don't need this right now! I need to leave!

"No you don't! We can all help that's why we are all friend." He gets up
" look Lucas you got into a sick ass program in Texas but right now Riley and that baby need you!

" I need to go. It's my dream zay! I can't deal with a baby right now it's better if I leave now. Are you with me? Or you can just get out of my life right now!? Because I don't need this! I yell

Shock over comes his face. I push through and walk out the door. "I guess your out of my life!

The cab comes to a stop as I arrived to my destination. I pay the cab driver and make my way up the steps of the building. It's been years since I've spoken to him. I make my way and reach his door I breath and knock. His opens the door and his faces shows disgust.

"What brings you here ass face" he says as he leans in the door

I sigh " Zay I know you hate me but I need a friend right now.

He moves and starts walking inside his apartment " sooo you need a friend huh. What happened to zay get out of my life, you don't get anything! He yells

I walk in and close the door " look zay all I can say is sorry. I don't know what I was thinking 5 years ago. I just can't have you yelling and hating me! I yell

He turns to face me and sighs " okay who did you see"

"Wait how do you know I saw someone?" I say facing him

He moves to seat on the couch " bro I know you. Even after all this time I can tell when someone has upset you. Plus your eyes are blood red and puff and you be looking ugly" he says with a chuckle

I seat next to him " I saw Farkle." I say in a sad tone

He shakes his head " he got you good didn't he"

I rest back in the couch " he sure did" I turn to face Zay.

"Zay what do you know about Riley?"

He sighs " Lucas, Riley is good she survived after you left. It took her awhile but she survived. Your daughter is good to"

I burry my head on my hands it hurts to think I
Left her .

"Lucas why are you her" Zay asks

" I needed to make things better" I say

He raises his eyebrows " don't bullshit me why are you here?"

I let a breath out " I got a job here"

He gets up " dam Lucas I thought you really care about them but you just came for a dam job!

I get up " Zay! They give me options and New York was one! It was as if the universe was saying it was time to fix things" I say throwing my hands in the air

" Lucas this isn't like middle school when Riley forgave you for not telling her about getting expelled. You can't fix this that easily " he says

He was right it wasn't going to be easy. I left both of them .

I run my hand through my hair " I know Zay but i can make it right. I can go now to see her and make it better.

"Dude you can't just show up and be like hey Riley I'm back please take me back. Give it time probably Farkle is going to tell her . Plus don't ruin her birthday. He says placing his hand on my shoulder

He was right I couldn't just show up. I need to give her time. Then I'm going to go find her I'm going to get both of my girls back.
