You deserve better

Deserve better

Maya p.o.v
I was sitting all alone in cafe, just wait for Lucas show up but it became very evident that he wasn't coming. " hey may " I heard as I look up to see Zay, " hi " I said as I play with my hand in my lap." Where is better half? " Zay asked me as he sit down next to me. " which one the boyfriend or the wife because they probably somewhere together right now. He probably convinced Riley to ran with him. " I said even though know Riley would never go for it and Lucas wouldn't never cheat on me but I know he want to be with her. " honest Maya why are you still with him? " he asked catching me off guard as I turn around to him. " because I hope that fall love with me! I know I can't be mad at Lucas and Riley because they has a whole Lot of history. I just want Riley has, I want to someone to love me unconditionally even when I'm acting like I'm crazy. " I said as I feel the tears rolling down my cheek but I'm afraid to knowledge them. " honestly I don't understand you! You never feel like you're Good enough, well to me you're perfect! you are strong-minded and kind and beautiful, and I don't think Riley would make it without you. you don't have settle for anything especially not someone who treats you like a second choice you're more than someone second choice you deserve to be someone's first and only choice not to get jealous when someone is dating your best friend because he would know he had the most beautiful girl right in front of his face. " he said with so much passion, just stared at him not knowing what to say. " look say you're getting fired on my behalf why do you even care? just a few months ago you were all for Lucas and Maya. " I asked him as he finally is glare away from me. " because I want you to be happy, from the moment I met you knew there something special about you, I sacrifice happiness for your best friend protecting her and loving her unconditionally like I used do to Lucas but I still do but I'm going to be honest with you doesn't deserve you because neither one of you were happy with each other. " he said to me, we just stare other searching different thing I search  for the joke and he search for the Real me. " someone like you? " I asked him as he took deep breaths before saying anything than he grabbing my face his hands and kissing me. " yeah but only when you're ready to except the love I can give!" He told him And I slowly nod my head still a shock from the kiss. " thank you for that Zay, " I whisper before you smiled at me.

I walked over to look at house, just thinking about all the things that happen that day. Zay opened my eyes to something that I didn't know before, that I was worth someone to love me but I was ready for it. I thought about Lucas and I relationship, he never fully committed to me because heart was with my best friend, and how screwed up that was for me to know that my boyfriend was in love with my best friend. I wondered how one simple kiss can open your eyes something that you never saw before, that you were worth it that you deserve better. He was honest with me with all jokes aside and we were connecting the way Riley did so many years earlier with Lucas in the library. I when finally made it to his bedroom window and I knocked on it. He came and opened as realization dawned on him that he supposed to meet me hours ago. " oh I'm sorry Maya, suppose meet you, something came up. " Lucas said as he let in me sneaky suspicion that it was my best friend that came up. " I think we need to break up? " I said ripping the Band-Aid off because if I didn't I'll probably lose my courage. " I meet you at the café today Maya?" Lucas asked I took a deep breath before answering the question. " no because You belong with Riley, always belong to Riley and You always going be Riley, I just been the way! I like you I do but this is not right at all. " I told him as the tears down down my cheek, Lucas looked down onto the ground knowing it was true. " I don't want to hurt you and I am sorry but I have these feelings for her that haven't gone away and I'm trying I really. " he said to me and I bit my lip before I shook my head. " you like me but you love her you don't have to apologize for that! You know what hurts me the most is that you pretended to like me because it made her happy, I don't ever want to be your second choice because I deserve better than that!" I told him wipe away the fresh batch of tears fall down my cheek and the reality set in hard cold but neither one of us was happy here. " I want so badly love you because that's what you want but when I look at Riley I see my future and her eyes. " he said as I run hand down his face, I nod my head my body shook in pain you never knew words can hurt that bad. " I need you to be in my life, you were the best learnings experience because the people you care about the most break you. We can stay friends. " I said as I kiss his cheek before leaving out the window.
