"Maya?"

Maya woke up to see Riley standing over her, tear stained mascara running down her face.

"Riles? What happened?"

"He... Lucas. He tried to... He thought..."

Maya shot up in the bed, "He tried to what?"

Riley threw herself into Maya's arms weeping, "He thought we were going to have sex tonight. He had a hotel room and everything. That was his big surprise. He got so mad when I said I wasn't ready. There was a big fight."

"Oh Riley," Maya pulled Riley down onto the bed to hold her, "I'll kill him."

"No, don't. Just hold me, please?"

"I'll kill him tomorrow then."

"It's over Maya. I thought we were going to be together forever like my parents, but it's over."

"He never deserved you, Honey."

"Maya, I thought he loved me!"

"Please can I go kill him?"

"Stop it," she wiped tears away from her face.

"Ok, then can I have your dad go kill him? You know he'd be willing."

"No one is killing anyone."

"Riley, why don't you go take a shower and clean yourself up? I'll run out and get some comfort food. We can Bay Window it up while we stuff our faces with cookie dough ice cream?"

"Ya, thanks. That sounds nice right now."

"Anything you need, Riles."

"I don't know what I'd do without you."
