Torn

Chapter 8

Lucas' POV

"Yeah, I just wanted to see how you're doing," I say awkwardly. "Well- um, I'm doing good, what's going on with you?" Riley asks. "I broke things off with Missy," I tell her. "Oh wow, how are you feeling?" She asks in response. "Good, because even though I tried for things to work out they didn't," I tell her sadly. "Well, at least you're happy now." Riley retorts. "Have you talked to Maya and Farkle lately?" She questions. "No, I haven't," I respond. "Ok well, Maya and Farkle are going to have a baby!" Riley screams, ecstatically. "Oh my gosh! That's amazing!" I say just as excited. "Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" I ask rapidly. "No, not yet," Riley tells me. "Hey, how's Josey?" I ask abruptly. "Oh she's fine she's almost 6 months old and I don't even know how!" She tells me excitedly. "Hey, when do you think you can visit us?" She asks. "Well, i- wait a sec," I say. Then while she's waiting for me to be back I walk up to her door and knock. While I wait I hear Riley coming then a pause, probably checking who it is, then she throws open the door. "Lucas, I can't believe you're here!" She yells as she jumps on me. "Hey Riles, long time no see." I joke, laughing at her reaction. Then she jumps off and whacks me across the arm leaving a red mark. "Hey what the hell Riley, I thought you were happy to see me?" I ask her as I rub my arm. "Of course I'm happy to see you, you idiot, but it's your fault we haven't talked in a while!" Riley exclaims. "I actually called you, you just wouldn't answer," Riley says annoyance evident in her voice. "Whatever though, come in we have a lot to catch up on." She says pulling into her home. I just laugh and admire her beautiful and radiant self.

Riley's POV

Even though I was beyond happy that he was here I was still upset that he never answered my calls and texts. But, hey, at least he's here.
"Okay, so where have you been?" I asked. "Actually, no, I want to know why you ended things with Missy," I say. "Okay well, when we got back we- well I tried to work things out," Lucas responds. "She didn't want to be with you? You guys were gonna get married." I ask, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. "No, she did want to be with me she just didn't want to work at the relationship," Lucas explains. "Yeah, I'm going to need you to explain." I retort. "Okay see Missy was addicted to drugs and she was an alcoholic," Lucas says then pauses waiting for my reaction. Not that I knew what to say. "Umm uh wow." I stutter. "Yeah." Lucas breathes out. "Okay, so you were just trying to help her with her addictions?" I questioned. "Yeah, but she didn't think she had a problem so she wouldn't do anything about it," Lucas responds. "That's ridiculous," I say.
"Yeah it is, but anyways what's been going on with you?" Lucas asks.

Lucas' POV

I sat waiting for Riley's response. "Uh well, I finally have friends here," Riley responds. "Why didn't you have friends before?" I ask wondering how anyone wouldn't want to be friends with such a nice person. "Well at first I spent all my time with Charlie so I didn't make any friends except mutual friends of his. And I use the word 'friends' lightly." Riley explains. "Oh wow so what happened to them?" I ask curiously. "Well after I told Charlie I was pregnant he told everyone I was a slut because there was no way that was his baby," Riley says, angered at the memory. "What a prick," I say angry at the news. "Yeah." Riley laughs. "Okay, so you made new friends who are they?" I ask. "Okay, so I made two new, really good friends, their names are Amy Smith and Kira Martin they are amazing they can't wait to meet you guys!" Riley exclaims excitedly. "Okay, so what are they like?" I wonder. "Well Kira is really tough, she will beat anyone up, she doesn't take shit from anyone. She also loves anime, her favorite is Black Butler, she is very emo." Riley replies. "Wow, so the complete opposite of you?" I joke. "Hey, I'm not all rainbows and sunshine." Rileys whines. "Sure you aren't sweetie," I say chuckling. "Anyways," Riley says rolling her eyes, "Amy is a mix of us she likes anime too but is less hardcore about it, she wears bright colors, pastels, and stuff. She's really sweet and will always stand up for her friends and herself but she does it talking you know diplomatically not in a way that will get her arrested." Riley jokes. "How is that any different from you?" I ask. "I don't stand up for myself," Riley says. "Well good thing I'm here for you," I tell her kindly. Riley just looks down and blushes. "Well once you leave you won't be here," Riley says all sad. "Um, actually-" I begin to say but then I get interrupted by a knock on the door.
