Torn

Okay so thank you for getting this story to 300+! So that's why this update is long (Well longer than normal) Also I decided that Markle's story is just going to be its own chapter but I'm making it longer. This chapter will only have one part.

Farkle's POV

"Well, come on, tell me," Riley said looking at me expectantly. "And start from the beginning," Riley said.
I looked down at Maya, who was holding my arm, looking at me expectantly. "Well..." Maya said. "Well, what?" I asked, confused. "Tell her!" Maya told me. "Oh, I thought you were going to," I said.
Maya hit her face with the palm of her hand and shook her head at me. "Oh dear lord Farkle, just tell her," Maya said playfully. "Ok ok I'll do it, you don't get to beg." I laughed.
"Well once upon a ti-" I said before getting cut off. "Farkle," Maya said pointedly giving me a sharp look that said, stop messing around. Id have gotten worried but then she and Riley started laughing. Then Josey started crying and Riley quickly took her from Lucas' arms. He'd been carrying her and singing for her for the past hour and a half. He looked at her as though she was his own. Even though they weren't together they would always be a better couple than most people who were ACTUALLY a couple. "I'm sorry, I'm going to head back to the hotel so she can take a nap," Riley said, then started yawning. After all, we'd been talking for about 3 hours. "Huh, I guess I should take a nap too." Riley giggled. "Yeah, I guess so," Maya said joining in her laughter till they were both almost rolling on the floor laughing for no reason.
Lucas and I just shook our heads and chuckled at how weird they were around each other. Finally, we said goodbye. We all exchanged addresses and headed to our respective hotels after agreeing to meet up at Riley's.
Well, Lucas didn't head to his hotel, he had to walk around looking for Missy because she wouldn't answer the phone.
We walked to the hotel so by the time we got there it was already 8 because we got sidetracked at a dog kennel. Maya really wanted this adorable little puppy. We got her and named her Markle because that was the name Riley said would be our ship name if we dated. When we got to the hotel I called Riley to see if she got home okay. Meanwhile, Maya called Lucas to see if he'd found Missy. "Hey, Maya, did Lucas find her?" I asked once she hung up. Maya looked at me incredibly disappointed, I was about to ask what was wrong but then she just pouted and said "Sadly" so I kind of burst out laughing. After 5 minutes of me, laughing Maya finally got up and hit my shoulder. When I didn't stop she said, "Sure you laugh now but you won't be laughing when you don't get any." Maya said all sassy. Of course, that shut me up real quick. "Okay okay, I'll stop," I said in defeat. "Let's just go to sleep Peaches," I said hugging her neck and climbing on top of her. "Okay get off me." Maya giggled. "No," I said in the poutiest, little kiddish voice possible. "Okay, fine." Maya laughed as I kissed her neck and tickled her.

After a few minutes, we both fell asleep.

Riley's POV

When we got to the room Farkle called me to make sure we got there safely. Then I called Lucas to see if he'd found Mi- Mis- ok nevermind, I called to see if he found her. After he said he had and that she was asleep I hung up. Then I changed Josephine's diaper, fed her and then I put her in her PJs and then I got ready for bed too. Then I sat down to sing her a lullaby.

My baby, Josey, daddy's gone a-hunting, to get a little rabbit skin To wrap his baby, Josey.

I sang that over and over again till she fell asleep. Once she fell asleep I stopped singing and thought about Lucas. I thought id gotten over him, but, I guess not. Today when I saw him again after all this time all my feelings for him came flooding back. I thought about what we could've been but weren't. The way he was with Josey made me remember why I loved him. Because he was kind and he cared about others, especially me, he loved my family and respected my choices, he didn't make fun of me and did his best to protect me from everything except the truth. Eventually, I finally fell asleep and dreamt of a perfect life with him.
