She's The Only One That Gets Me (A Rilaya Story ♡)

Chapter 2.

Maya looks at Riley and says "You like me?" Riley stands up and says "Yes, no! I don't know what I'm feeling okay. I just had to tell you." Maya goes to Riley and hugs her, then she says "Listen. You have to know right now that no matter what, nothing could ever stop me from being your friend and it's okay that you're confused. I love you and it's you and me forever no matter what. Riley looks at Maya and says "I really don't know why I feel this way Maya but I do" Maya tells Riley to come next to her on the Bay Window and says "It's okay Riles, we're growing up and experiencing new things and that's just life. Maybe this is a phase and maybe it's not you know? It's just new and different but that doesn't mean it's bad. I'm here for you always.

*Next Day*

Maya's POV.
It's morning already? Ugh I just wish I could sleep a little longer and not even go to school today for that matter but I should get ready now. I think I'll just wear jeans and a t shirt with one of my favorite jackets and black booties. Today should be interesting though, I haven't really thought about the convo me and Riley had yesterday until now. I wish I knew how I really felt about it but to be honest, I don't know what I feel. All I know is I didn't feel any different about our friendship, I still felt like I could tell her anything, hang out with her everyday and just do the usual things we do. I don't feel weird or awkward at all, should I? I don't know but I should head to her house now or we'll be late.

Riley's POV.
I woke up extra early today because I couldn't sleep. I do feel better today but I can't help but think that things are gonna be different now even though Maya said they wouldn't be. I can't help but feel the way I do. I've already got ready and eaten breakfast and Maya's still not here, is she not coming because of what happened? I just knew that things would change. I should just leave now, she probably isn't coming.
I open the door to leave and there she is.

Riley: Hey I thought you weren't coming
Maya: Why wouldn't I? I come to your house every morning, Riles I told you yesterday that nothing would change.
Riley: Well maybe they are supposed to.
Maya: What?
Riley I told you that I liked you, you said that we would be friends forever and nothing would change, what does that mean?
Maya: It means exactly what I said. I don't know what you want me to say.
Riley: How do you feel about me Maya?
Maya: You're my bestfriend forever.
Riley: So does that mean you're just gonna ignore that I like you?
Maya: Riley! I don't know how I feel, if I did I would tell you but one thing I know for sure is that I love you and you're the one person that really... really gets me.
Riley: I feel the same way too. I don't wanna fight, I just wish it wasn't this hard you know? Two days ago things were fine and now I'm confused all the time.
Maya: I get it. We can get through anything together and I wish there was something I could do to make it easier but I don't wanna lie to you either. We are both confused right now but let's just see what happens okay? Let's not worry too much about it because we have each other and it's gonna be okay.
Riley: You always know the right thing to say.
Maya: Duh you think I don't know that?
Riley: Oh shut up we're like 10 minutes late for school, let's go!
Maya: Oh right come on!
