The Funeral

Riley's pov
I was staring in my mirror. Today was the day. The day we say goodbye. He won't be here for the birth of his kids. They won't ever see him, and that broke me. I missed him. I needed him. I couldn't raise two kids alone. I mean I'd have my parents, Maya, Farkle, and Lucas, but I cant be a single mother. I ended up moving in with Maya. She didn't want me alone right now. I was pulled out of my daze by Maya softly saying my name.

Maya: Riles, it's time to go
Riley: what if I can't do it?
Maya: then you'll have us.
I sighed I knew she was right but I couldn't bare the idea of saying goodbye to him.

At the funeral
I looked at him. He was lifeless and cold. I really just wanted him to wake up and hug me like he would every morning. I wanted to see his hazel eyes. I wanted to feel his lips on mine. Just one last time. I thought. Then I walked away.

As I was walking Lucas stopped in front of me. He gave me a concerned look and gave me a hug. It felt nice to be comforted.
Lucas: are you okay
I shook my head
Lucas: want to talk
I nodded my head still not finding it in me to speak. We walked a while before started to talk.
Lucas: how are you
Riley: I don't know. It's just really hard. I miss him so much.

I was starting to cry.

Lucas: shhh it's okay
Riley: I can't help but think that his kids won't know him. Or that he won't be here to see them.

By now I had tears pouring down my cheeks. He then pulled me into a hug and we stayed that way for while.

Lucas: if you ever need to talk I'm here for you. No matter what.
Riley: thanks Lucas.

He just smiled and we went back to the service. I tried my best to stay strong. I did pretty well.

You guys probably hate me for killing Liam and I'm sorry but I felt it was better than making him the bad guy. Once again I'm VERY sorry.
