Riley Matthews finds out something terrible about her boyfriend Lucas... She runs home crying but remembers she can't go home because she got in a fight with her parents so she goes to the only person she can actually trust... Farkle Minkus
She's so beautiful when she sleeps... I watch her sleeping just after I've woken up at 2 AM with her in my arms. I feel happy that she came to me. I'm really angry at Maya and Lucas, two of the people who love her most in this world... besides me of course. They broke her. I slowly shake her awake. "Riley? Hey Riles... wake up..." I whisper gently shaking her. She groans then rolls off my lap. I hop into the drivers seat and drive her back to my house. I carry her up the stairs and all the way through the elevator. Finally we reach my room on floor 115. I carry her over to my bed and lay her down. I find my warmest blankets and cover her in them. I shouldn't have stayed in the car last night, she was soaked. I don't want her to catch a cold or worse, pneumonia because of me. I wrap her up all warm, put on my electrical fire and go and make 2 warm cups of coffee and hot chocolate (With extra whip cream because she's dangerous) I laugh to myself at this. "Riley, Riles wake up. I have hot chocolate with extra whip cream and a cup of coffee for you once you feel better.." I say rocking her back and forth. "Okay I'm up!" She says jolting up. "Riley take it easy. I think you're gonna catch a cold. Anyway. Drink up" I say handing her the mug of hot chocolate perfectly how she likes it. "Thank you" she says taking the mug. "it's perfect. You know me very well" she says smiling with a whip cream mustache. "I've know you almost my entire life... I know exactly how you like things." I say moving from the chair next to my bed and onto my bed next to Riley. "I know" she says smiling. "Hey, since it's a Saturday and we're on Christmas break, do you wanna watch Christmas movies?" I ask, knowing she can't say no to a holiday classic. "You know me too well" she says looking at me and grabbing the remote from my hands. "So what do you want to watch?" I ask. "Love Actually... best Christmas movie ever!" She says. "Okay!" I say laughing grabbing the remote back from her. I put it on. I slowly get under the blankets. She shifts her head from the pillow to my chest. I wrap my arms around her. "Stay here forever Riley?" I ask. "You know I'll never leave" she says back. "Now shhhh. I'm trying to watch!" She says. I silently laugh. About an hour later my dad comes in. "Good morning Farkle he says opening the door. "Dad! We're watching a movie!" I say. "Oh sorry- oh hi Riley." He says. "'Morning Mr. Minkus." She says not taking her events off the screen. "Well I'll have someone bring up the waffles then" he says. I nod and he leaves. "Sorry about that" I mutter. "It's alright..." she says looking up at me. Then something happens. Something that shouldn't happen. But it does. I lean down and kiss her, but she doesn't pull away like I expected... I pull away "I'm sorry. I just got caught up in the moment. I don't mean to take advantage of you seeing as you, well you know. I'm sorry" I say awkwardly.
*Rileys pov*
Farkle leans down and kisses me. It wasn't anything like when Lucas kissed me. This was different its like he came from a place of love and caring, not just hormones. I don't pull away... because, well I liked it. He eventually pulled away. "I'm sorry. I just got caught up in the moment. I don't mean to take advantage of you seeing as you, well you know. I'm sorry" he says looking away. "It's um... it's ok. You know, well I'll just go then." I say not wanting him to say the words I know he will. "Oh. Okay" he says. dammit he said them. "At least stay for waffles?" He asks. "I can't. I'm sorry my parents will be worried!" I say rushing past Stuart Minkus while running down the stairs and outside. "Riley?" He mutters. But I ignore him. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid Smiley Riley Matthews! Why?? Why did you do that to yourself?! Farkle loves you and you ran away! Home I guess. It's the only place that feels normal now. I open the door and I'm immediately engulfed in hugs from my mom, dad and maya surprisingly. "Riles where were you?! We were worried sick!" Maya says. "I was with Farkle." I say heading straight for my room. "Riley!" My mom calls. "Riley Matthews get back here!" She yells. "What?!" I tell spinning around. "Are you okay?" She asks. "Yeah. Just fine." I say lying. "You're a liar." Maya said. "Ha! That's rich coming from you!" I yell at her. "Look I'm sorry I don't know what happened!" She yells back and starts crying. "I know what happened! You kissed my boyfriend!" I yell now I'm crying. My mom and dad just stand there watching, jaws dropped. "What?! No! He kissed me. I went over there to see if you were there and when I got there I saw three empty beer bottles on the table! He was drunk Riley! And you know what he told me? He said he'd been drinking because he knew you had fallen for someone else!" Maya says through tears. "What? But I don't like anyone else. I'd know. It's my feelings." I say thoroughly confused. "No. the thing is he's right. You do like someone else. And when I asked him who he just said him and glared furiously at the wall. I asked if I could do anything to help and all he did was kiss me! I swear I tried to push him away!" She says. "Okay, okay. I believe you, only because you're crying. But if I don't like Lucas then who do I like?" I ask maya. "It's obvious isn't it?" She says. "Um... no." I say. "Bay window now." She says dragging me to the bay window. "Riley you're in love with Sparkley Farkley Minkus." Maya says. "What?! No I'm not!" I say. "Riley... the photos on your bedside table and dresser and desk are all of you and Farkle!"

I look at the pictures. "Okay you have a point but those were all at important occasions!" I say defending my argument. "Right. So that selfie you and Farkle took... what occasion was that?" Maya asks. "DisneyWorld!" I say. "Yeah and you have about a hundred DisneyWorld pictures and you choose that one." Maya says. "Okay fine!" Maybe I do like Farkle but there's nothing I can do about it" I say. "Really?" Maya says pointing to the closed window. It's Farkle. I open the window. "Farkle what are you doing here?" I ask. "I think the real question is what is she doing here?" Farkle asks pointing accusingly at Maya. "It's okay. She explained what happened." I say. "Well what happened?" He asks. "Lucas was drunk and he kissed me" Maya steps in. "Why was he drunk?!" Farkle asks. Suddenly he sounds concerned. "He thinks I like someone else." I say. "Who?" He asks. "Well, umm.... you."
