Fine - Rucas

| Chapter 8 |

Riley's POV
"Riles. Is that you?"
I look up with tears running down my face and I see Maya.
I don't want to see her or Lucas.
She starts to approach me and then she sits next to me.
"Peaches... What's wrong?"
I don't want to talk to her.
I don't want to talk to anyone
"Riley, why have you been ignoring me? I texted and called you a million times and you haven't replied back and now your not even talking to me. What happened?"
"Your kidding right? What's wrong..? You went out with Lucas when I was dating him. You knew I felt about him Maya."
"Riley.."
"Do you know how hard it is knowing that the whole time I thought he liked me? He never liked me, he liked you. He never meant all the: "I love you" or "I think I'm in love with you"
"All that was fake.. h-h-he never meant anything he told. I never meant anything to him."
The stream of tears started to go down my face.
Lucas' POV
I was walking to the toilet, when I hear a voice.
"Maya, you don't understand because he loves you! Everyone loves you! Everyone cares about you. No one loves me and no one cares about me."
I then recognized the voice, it was Riley's and the person she was talking to was Maya.
"He told me I was beautiful and that I was his princess, All that was lies. I feel so stupid! I feel like I was just used the whole time."
Those weren't lies..
I stand outside and just listen to Riley pouring out her heart.
"Peaches.. I'm so sorry."
"You know what else hurts the most?"
"The whole time he was flirting with you at the same time. I cried myself to sleep. I fell for someone that fell for my best friend. Everyone leaves me, now including Lucas."
I hurt Riley..
Why is everything she say hit me like a dagger?
Do I actually love Maya?
Or
Do I actually love Riley?
Maya didn't say anything.
"Peaches, I'm sorry. I thought I deserved happiness too. I mean, your not the only one who deserves happiness. Your family and friends care about you and love you! I made a mistake.. I fell for Lucas just like you fell for him. If you were my bestfriend, you would understand.."
Riley's POV
Maya's right..
She deserves happiness.
But she's wrong about the fact that everyone cares and loves me.
Because right now, I feel so alone.
I feel like no one cares.
Maya = If she cared and loved me, she wouldn't have dated Lucas behind my back for 2 Years.
Lucas = If he cared and loved me, he wouldn't have dated my best friend.
My Dad = If he cared or loved me, he wouldn't have left us.
My Mum= She hates me right now.
I don't want to lose Maya though, I don't want to feel even more alone.
I love Maya, she's my other half, maybe she is truly sorry.
We've been through ups and downs.
I snap out of my thoughts
"Your right. You deserve happiness."
Even if it means I'm not happy
"Thank you Riley and again I'm really sorry.."
I nod my head.
"Anyway let's go"
She holds her hand out, I grab it and get up.
As we were walking out, I see the person I didn't want to see the most.
Lucas.
Did he listen to the whole conversation!?!
"Hey Riley."
I don't reply, I just look down.
"Hey babe" Maya says
"Hey Lucas" He says but I could feel his stare on me.
It hurts to know that he loves someone else now, not like he even loved me though.
For me, it's harder to get over it because I had fallen deeply in love with Lucas.
The pain won't ever go away,
Memories will never go away,
Love will never go away.
~ At Lunch ~
I walk into the canteen and I heard whispers within people
"I heard she's pregnant."
"Omg. She's so ugly."
"She's so fat."
I try to ignore it, but it gets to me.
It hurts me.
I scan the canteen and automatically see Maya waving for me to come sit with them. I take a deep breath and nod.
I can't ignore them now. But I want to.
I wish I miss them so much and miss everything I've had with them.
I don't want to them to feel strangers to me and I don't to pretend to be okay when I'm dying inside.
I take my tray of food and walk in their direction. As I got closer, I see Maya sitting on Lucas' lap.
I'd rather not see the boy that hurt me at all.
I set my tray down and was about to sit next to farkle.
"Oh sorry but I'm saving this seat for Charlie" Farkle says
No no no no.
Not Charlie.
Please not Charlie.
"Y-you guys are friends with him?" I stutter while asking 
I couldn't even say his name.
Not after what he did to me.
"Well yeah, but he asked if he could sit with us so here we are now." Farkle replies
The only seat left was next to Lucas, who was whispering something into Maya's ear and then she would either let out a laugh or smile and reply.
I looked at them and noticed the look my best friend had.
She's happy.
She's finally happy.
That's all I've ever wanted.
Then why aren't I not happy?
Farkle noticed that I was staring at them and then raised his eyebrows at me.
I immediately stopped looking at them. I sat next to Lucas and began eating my foot.
"FATTIE"
"STOP EATING YOUR FAT"
I feel like voices in my head are close to taking over.
I stop eating and just stare at my food.
Charlie's going to sit here and everything is going to be over.
What if he does it again?
"Riley?" Maya says and I look her way.
I snap out of my thoughts.
"Yes?" I answer and then I realized that everyone was staring at me.
"I was literally trying to get your attention for like 5 minutes!" Maya laughs.
"Sorry just thinking." I say, I think they know that I'm distant from the group, but I have my reasons why.
"What are you thinking about peaches?"
"Life" I shrug and stare back down at my food.
Yeah, thinking about how my life sucks.
Then I hear footsteps, when I look up, I see Charlie.
"Hi" Charlie says to me.
I hesitated to answer but then I finally did.
"Hi" I say quietly.
He came and sat next to me, I started to get uncomfortable.
Lucas stares at me,
I think he noticed that I was uncomfortable.
He knows what happened last summer.
I could feel tears starting to fill my eyes.
Riley stop.
Maybe he's changed.
"What are you doing at our table?" Lucas asks harshly
"I don't see why I can't sit with my best friend." Charlie replies back.
All our eyes went to Farkle.
"You two are best friends?" Lucas asks.
"Yes Lucas, just because you're my bestfriend doesn't mean I can't have others.
Lucas lifts his hands in defeat.
I look down at my food.
How can he be friends with him after what he did to me.
Farkle knows what Charlie did to me
The trauma he caused me.
We were all in awkward silence until I could feel someone's hand on my thigh, I look to see who it was and I was Charlie Gardner.
My body started to stiffen up, I started to get uncomfortable.
I don't want to start any drama or trouble so I move his hand away, but then he places his hand a bit higher on my thigh, and he starts to move his hand up my skirt.
"STOP" I shout at Charlie
