We kept looking at each other, we kept holding hands until her phone ringing got us out of our moment, I guess. It was a video call from Josh.

"Hey Ril...Maya?" Josh said looking at Riley and then at me.

"What? Since when is it shocker to see Maya in my bedroom?" Riley asked.

"No, it's just isn't it a little too late for Maya to be there?" Josh said.

"And, so what? We can be having a sleepover" I said.

After that I stayed behind Riley and said moving my lips without making a sound call me in two hours.

"What?" He said obviously not getting what I was trying to say to him.

I rolled my eyes in response, and repeated what I've said before.

"Oh, I get it. In two hours then" He said.

"Who are you talking to?" Riley asked confused.

"Oh god, you can't be more stupid. I can't believe I used to like you" I said face palming myself.

"Used to?" Riley asked shocked.

"Yes, used to. She used to like me until..." He took a deep breath and continued "Until what? I can't remember exactly what happened. Can you refresh my memory Maya?" He said as Riley and he waited for my answer.

"Shut up, stop making me look like if I was hiding something" I said screaming. He was getting on my nerves.

"Aren't you?" Josh continued teasing me.

"That's it! Do you want me to punch you right on the face?" I said getting closer to the screen.

"You can't, we aren't physically on the same place darling" He added.

"But I can go wherever you are, just to punch on the face" I said.

"Enough! Can you two fight some other time?" Riley interrupted us.

"Fine! Two hours, Uncle Boing! Two hours" I said as I went out through the bay window.

I was finally at home, I had a piece of paper on one hand and a pencil on the other hand but my mind was blank. More important my heart was empty.

MY phone ringing got me out of my thoughts, it was Josh calling me.

"DID YOU TELL RILEY YOU LIKE LUCAS?" Josh screamed in my ear.

"I can see Riley told you about Texas" I said.

"YOU MEAN THE PLACE YOU MSSED UP THE MESS YOU WERE ALREADY IN?" He kept screaming.

"Ok, calm down. I know I screwed this up. That's why I wanted to talk to you"

"But I don't get why you did it. I know you would anything to keep Riley safe but now she's broken and I hate to say this bu..." I cut him off.

"I know it's because of me. It just seemed the best plan to keep Riley away from Lucas. He's not the right guy for her" I said as I felt tears coming down my cheeks.

"You are? Well, the girl for her" He said.

"No, I'm not. She belongs to her prince charming, Ranger Rick" I said rolling my eyes.

"Not every princess belongs to a prince, some princess belongs to another princess" HE added.

"But I know stuff you don't. I know why she belongs to a prince and not to a fucking mess like me" I said with a broken voice.

"Please don't cry. I'm gonna hang up and I want you to draw or sing or anything that let you express how you're feeling right now, ok?" He said.

"Ok, Bye Uncle Boing" I said whipping one tear from my cheek.
