Two years later Riley and Lucas were still going strong, and every minute of it was killing Maya.
"Can you believe it, Peaches? Junior Prom!"
"I know. Wasn't it last week that we were getting ready for our first middle school dance?"
"I can't wait. Lucas says he has a special night planned." She twirled around in her prom dress, giggling.
Maya knew what Lucas's surprise for the night was. A hotel room, roses, and candlelight. He had asked her advice on the perfect romantic evening for Riley. She felt her heart instantly shatter when he had come to her, but she put her own feelings aside for what would make Riley happy.
Riley turned to Maya hopefully, "Are you sure I can't convince you to come?"
"I'm sure. You have a good time. I heard Farkle's dad rented a limo for you all. That should be fun." She gave Riley the best impression of a sincere smile she could muster. There was no way she could be there tonight knowing what was going to happen. Helping her get ready for it was torture enough.
"It would be more fun if my best friend was coming with us!"
"I don't have a date or a dress. Plus I've already made a commitment to my sketchbook tonight."
"Ok," she pouted. "But it won't be the same without you."
"Riley, Lucas is here," Mrs. Matthews called from downstairs.
"Go, have fun," Maya insisted. "I'll be here when you get back."
Once Riley was out of site making her way downstairs Maya finally allowed herself to feel the pain she had been suppressing all day. She brought her knees up to her chest and cried in ernest.
