I'm Fine ➰ Lucaya (ON HOLD)

The kluts and peaches

Riley's POV

Maya hasn't been herself for a while. I don't know for sure but I think Lucas might know why. I mean, he has been going to her house and sleeping over for a while. He told me he was leaving today sense her parents come home in the afternoon so I asked him to meet me at Topangas' at 4:00.

I got here like 5 minutes ago and he texted me he was going to be a little late because he had to go back to his house. I was fine with it and decided to buy a cookie because why not!

Once I finished eating my little snack, Lucas came into the door and I greeted him. We sat in our usual spot, but only us two.
"So Maya hasn't been herself lately. Do you know what's going on with her?" I asked concerned. I looked at him straight in the eyes and I knew he knows something is going on.
"I do know stuff Riley, I know a lot of stuff. But I don't think Maya would like me to tell anyone about what's going on." I frowned at him. I'm her best friend, she should've at least told me something.
"You should tell me. I'm her best friend! She has never lied to me ever! You have to tell me." I said really needing to know what's going on. I'm guessing he saw I really needed to know, not just wanted to but I need to because if it's something bad I always know how to make it work out.
"Well...." I was growing impatient.
"Okay here it goes." He took a deep breath before he continued, "I went to mayas house to check up on her because I also thought she has been acting strange. So when I went to her house I knocked on the door. I knew her parents went somewhere for a business trip so I knew they wouldn't answer. So I went inside and looked around her house, she wasn't in her room, anywhere pretty much. But I heard whimpering from the kitchen and well, there was Maya, cutting both of her wrists with a giant chefs knife." He looked down and a tear went down my face.
"Why would she do that? She has an amazing life expect the people who..." He nodded. I knew she couldn't handle it. But I needed to believe in what she says so she could believe in herself. "Oh" is all that came out.
"The problem is, it's not the bully's. Well it is but they aren't in her face. They somehow found her phone number and text her these things saying she's useless, to die, it will be for the better. Also she has been getting death threat notes in her locker. She told me she has been hearing voices in her head for a while saying the same things and she just couldn't take it anymore." I was sobbing at this point. He tried to comfort me. It wasn't weird I mean we are like brother and sister.
"Do you know who did it?" I asked wiping my tears away.
"No, no I don't. But when we find out we are telling an adult immediately." Lucas said firmly. I just nodded because I knew it was the right thing to do.
"I'm gonna go talk to her." I said. We got, hugged, and walked separate ways sense my apartments a couple blocks away from his. I instantly texted maya:

🦄:Maya my house now. Urgent.
🍑:BUT WHYYYYYY
🦄:BAY WINDOW BAY WINDOW RIGHT NOW.
🍑:no. :)
🦄:RING POWERRRRR!!!!💍
🍑:UGH FINE!
🦄:I won't be there but come right now and make yourself at home :)
🍑:okay bye riles!

I turned off my phone and went to a jewelry shop near my apartment. Ever sense I got the friendship rings I wanted to give her something else. A necklace. She always loved jewelry, yes she had a bunch, yes they were all real and beautiful. But I want to give her something important in our friendship. Just like the rings, we will never take them off. People grow up, jewelry stays the same size. Someday we'll have to change our rings. Which I'm fine with but I've been saving up for these necklaces for so long so I'm doing it.
I walked into the store and found the ones I've been waiting to buy sense middle school. Maya turned 14, 8th grade. I gave her the ring and we have never and I mean never have taken it off before. I bought the necklaces and ran to my apartment. I saw her there. On my bed, reading a book. She looks up to me and smiles. I love her genuine smile. It always brightens up my day, and no I'm not in love with her I just love her. She's like my sister and it feels good. We walk to the window. After a couple minutes of silents we both start spilling out everything and we just laugh and hug each other.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I just didn't know how to say it." She said. I hugged her again,
"It's okay. If that ever happened to me I wouldn't have known either. So no need to be sorry." She smiles again. I love seeing her happy. At school she's always a different person. She's a Sad, depressed, broken nobody at school. I like seeing the real her so I try to spend as much time with her as possible.
"Oh I almost forgot about something!" I explained. She was really confused as I looked through my purse. I found it and turned to her as I put it behind my back.

Maya's POV
Riley was trying to find something in her purse and I was super confused.
"Riley what are you doing?" She ignored my question and got up. I saw something in her hands but she put them behind her back.
She sat down next to me and looked into my eyes.
"Maya your my bestfriend and your like a sister to me. We have rings were practically married." I giggled at her. "So After I got you the rings I wanted to give you something else. More powerful. I've been saving up my money sense 8th grade to buy you this." She took out a velvet box and I opened it to see two necklaces. There were beautiful.
The necklaces:

I decided to get the silver one and she got the gold one. I have her a giant hug and we talked for the rest of the day. I wanted her to have a sleepover so she came over and we had ice cream, went into the pool, and so much more it was an amazing day. Nothing could ever tear us apart.
