Farkle pov
Watching smackle walk away I shake my head wondering what got into her. "So you agree with her I don't deserve her?" Lucas ask looking at me. "Don't you think she misses us farkle?" "If you would asked me a year ago I would have said yeah, but now..." I softly say looking over at Riley and Zay. "But now what" Lucas questions me. "Now it's different" I pause trying not to think about it. "Are you saying you don't miss her?" He asked looking from me back to Riley to me again. I scoff. "Of course I do, but missing her isn't going to change what happened and how we left things."
Flashback
"How did this happen Farkle" Riley asked me trying to hold back the tears. "I don't know Riles, sometimes things happen" I say rubbing her back trying to calm her. "Maybe you should have went to see her instead of sending Lucas in your place." "WHAT?!" She jumps up and glares at me. "Are you trying to say that it's my fault this happened?" I can see in her eyes the inner fight she was having with herself to see if I was right. "Go to hell" she said softly I almost didn't hear it. "What?" I say looking up at her. "You heard me "I said go to hell! Was that loud enough for you farkle?" I stand up speaking to her calmly "Riley don't be like this" I reach for her arm but she moves back. "I.. I was just making an observation"
Pushing me back she says with anger I've never knew she possessed "stop trying to treat me like a child!" "Well maybe you should stop acting like one, come out of rileytown and face the facts that the world isn't people singing and dancing under rainbows." "Fuck you farkle!" She says with venom in her voice. I just stare at her with wide eyes while she continues. Seeing me shocked she laughs and says "oh didn't think I would say that or didn't think a child like me knew that word huh?"
"Riley come on you're blowing this way out of proportion" then I said the one thing I would always regret but could never take back. "You know that this was Inevitable their fire, I thought you would have noticed so you wouldn't get burned." Riley stands there not saying a word so I continue even though I know I shouldn't but my frustration was building and I took it out on the wrong person. And in doing so I changed our relationship forever.
"We both knew they liked each other, they always gravitated to each other you seen how they would flirt with each other. What did you think would happen they wouldn't act on those feelings? You basically pushed it to happen! You should have been the one to check on her," I say waiting for her to say something, anything but she stands there with her arms crossed with tears pouring out her eyes. "You know I'm right" I continue "you always put her first why did you choose this time to pick someone over her huh?" "Well Riley are you going to say something or are you to far in rileytown to accept the consequences for your actions?"
Then she did something I never knew she was capable of doing to me. She slapped me right across the face. Causing my face to sting and my eyes to water. "Bullshit " she spat surging with anger. "You think I wasn't putting her before me or anyone else? I was doing exactly that! Call me selfish but I thought sending Lucas to her was the right thing I was on my way to see Josh to figure everything out. I knew if I sent Lucas he would have punched first asked questions later." She starts pacing in front of me no longer sad but full of anger. "I thought I was looking out for her happiness, things were going great for them" she stopped and blew out a breath. "I thought her happiness meant more than mine, I would literally do anything for her. No questions asked."
I walk up to her hesitatingly waiting to see if she would back up but when she didn't I wrapped my arms around her. Listening to her silent sobbing, I thought everything would be okay till she realized my part in their betrayal. Pulling away she turned her back to me silently thinking out loud. "All this time I thought you loved us both equally..." she turned around and walked towards me. "All this time I thought there's no way if farkle knew he would have told me, been there for me, let me know that two of the people I cared for were stabbing me in the back!"
"Riley-" I start but she was quick to ignore my plea. "No! Farkle you sat there the whole time pretending, did you honestly think they weren't doing anything wrong cause of what Charlie lead you guys to believe?!" "That I could even do such a thing? Did my friendship mean anything to you?" She whispered lowering her eyes I could see all the things we did drain her. "Riley you have to understand-" I try to say. "Oh I understand perfectly Riley wouldn't care her feelings don't mean as much as Maya's ! I get it Farkle don't worry " I make one last attempt before she tells me to get out. Climbing out her window I knew it was for the last time, I turn to her to say something but she cuts me off. "Don't worry about me Farkle I get it now she was always the 100% while I got the 84. You didn't feel bad about it in the beginning so don't feel bad now."
She starts to close the window but says one last thing "I thought you should be the first to know rileytown no longer exist, I'm taking your advice and growing up and want to know what my first official statement is as an adult?" I look at her with tears pooling in my eyes. "My first official statement is to tell you and your little friends go to hell! Forget I exist besides you guys were doing a pretty bang up job of it already." And with that she shut the window and closed her curtains. While I was left there with the image of her with nothing but anger in her eyes and disgust on her face.
End of flashback
"Come on Farkle you and I both know that the Riley we both love is still there living in rileytown." Lucas says cheerfully. But I could see through his facade. "Leave it alone Lucas you cause enough damage to her and she's happy now why are you so intent on screwing that up for her?" I can see the wheels turning in his head and I wasn't going to let that happen. I wasn't a good friend to her then but I sure as hell was gonna be one now. And prevent anymore chaos in our lives. So I said the one thing he failed to remember. "How are you going to try to get her back when you already have a girlfriend? " He looked at me with a hint of remorse in his eyes.
"Where is your GIRLFRIEND Maya? The infamous blonde beauty." I say just as the bell rings leaving Lucas to ponder his thoughts.
