Chapter 7.

Riley's POV.

After I'd told josh about everything that had previously happened including how he came back and how I ended up attacking his face, he already knew about why I separated with Lucas, he just laughed at me for feeling guilty for handling the situation like that. "Josh why are you laughing it's not funny." I say smacking his arm and creasing my forehead. "Because Riley, you think you need to be sorry because you made him really 'angry', he's a boy." Josh says calmly refraining from laughing again. "And us boys get 'angry' at the littlest of things, Lucas wasn't exactly wrong when he said he didn't want to talk about it in front of your parents, because cory is cory and I don't think he would mind going to jail for murdering Lucas. And I bet you any moment Lucas is going to be knocking on your window apologising for storming out." Josh explains, and he's right, especially about my father murdering Lucas, not to mention with his hands. I hug Josh and he laughs. "What was that for?" He asks me stroking my hair down on my back. "For being there for me, but please now go surprise Maya." I tell him. "But, me and maya aren't exactly on great terms." He says as we pull away from the hug. I hit him again. "Ow, again. What the heck was that for?" He asks as he rubs his arm where I hit him. "That was so you can go grow a pair and talk to her, because that girl has waited for you so long and she finally deserves to have you. Now go ask my best friend on a date and don't forget that I'm cory's daughter and I can do worse than murder you Joshua Mathews." I say as I push him out my window. I sit there and smirk slightly as I wait for Lucas to 'knock on my window'.

Lucas POV.

I knock lightly on her window and she turns around with a slight smile on her face. She opens it up and l climb in and sit down. We sit there for a bit both hesitant to talk, I figure since I'm a boy and I definitely have a pair of balls I should talk first. "Hi." I turn to look at her and she faces me. "Hey." She says with a slight smile. "I'm sorry for overreacting." She cuts in. "I know that it was stupid to think that we could talk about it in front of my parents." She continues. "If anything I overreacted and I'm sorry for storming out, and Riley I want to talk about it, but I can't begin to even think why I made the worst decision of my life." I say putting my head down ashamed of my self, she lifts it up with both her hands and makes me look her in the eye, she drops her hand but I keep my eyes on her. "Was it because I wasn't good enough? Because I can make my self better if you want?" She asks me causing me to feel disappointed in my self, my eyes get teary and I put my head down before looking back up at her.

She looks so small, she's so innocent but gets hurt so much. "Riley, don't you dare say that! Look at you, because when I look at you I see much more than what you think. You hate your 'dull eyes' and your 'boring plain hair'. But when I look at them I see those soft chocolate brown eyes that light up so wide to the smallest of things. And your hair," I run my hand through her hair, "your hair is such a beautiful brown colour that's so shiny, and the way it falls, it reminds me of the waves we saw when we went to that small beach together, so vibrant and easy to remember, and when you smile it lights any room up as well as me, it's so contagious. And you hate your goofiness, I love that because it's what makes you, you and your beautiful in every way possible. And I definitely don't know how you make every single situation better, and I don't know how such a small, sweet far from ordinary girl, makes me feel the way I do." I finish off and wipe away her tears with the pad of my thumb. "You really think all that?" She asks me placing her small hand on my large one which laid on her cheek. "Every single thing I said was true." I say smiling it her. "Then why did you hurt me like that?" She asks suddenly becoming straight faced again, her hand dropping and bringing mine down with it.

"I can't answer your question, because I don't know the answer." I say looking at her room, noticing a picture of me and her that day I promised my self I'd never love anyone as much as I loved her, I had Maya sneakily take pictures and she caught the one with me in the lake and Riley laughing at me, looking back on that day caused a small laugh to escape my lips. "So it's funny now?" She asks standing up, I stand up with her and walk over to the picture frame on her desk, I lift it up and she lightly laughs to. "That was such a good day, you know that day I promised my self that if anything ever happened between us, I'd never feel as much love as I felt with you." She said walking over to me. "I made a similar promise, I promised that id never love anyone as much as you." I say holding her very small hand in mine.
