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

Chapter 13.

Weeks go by and Riley and Maya still haven't really talked. They've been around each other in school and with their other friends but never alone like they would usually be. None of their friends see any change because Riley and Maya act like everything is fine when they're with their friends because they really don't want to explain why they aren't together anymore.

Maya's POV.
I don't understand Riley, Everything was going fine and then she tells me our friendship is changing?  when she said that, It actually felt like our friendship was changing just because she said exactly that. I love Riley but I don't understand why she's pushing me away. I admit, in the past I would've done the same thing but since I've been growing up, I realize that I can't keep doing that and half of the reason I did realize that was because of Riley. I miss her and usually we would've made up by now but I just can't get over what she said this time.

Riley's POV.
What was I thinking? Why did I push her away? Why do I always think I know what's best when I always end up being wrong? Why do I always have to say the first thing that pops up into my head? Why? I've said a million times before that it doesn't matter what happens, Maya will always be my bestfriend and then I push her away? What kind of friend am I? I don't deserve her as my bestfriend or my girlfriend. She could have a new girlfriend by next week and I'd still be crying over her. I don't know why I said the things I said to her. I had just came out to my friends and my parents, Everyone was okay with it which is great and then I find myself.... not okay with it? I felt alone yet everything was going amazing. I started pressuring Maya to come out to her mom and maybe I was doing that because I wanted to see how her mom would react but that was selfish. It's Maya's life and she should tell her mom when she's ready, that wasn't my place to force her. I understand that now and I understand why Maya was upset but I still can't even bare to look at Maya because I'm so angry with myself. Thank god every time we're together, our friends are with us because I can't be alone with her without saying something stupid or just completely mess everything up. Of course I miss her but I don't want to turn something bad into something permanent so for right now, I guess we just need space.

Friday, 7:30am.
Riley grabs a bagel then heads out the door for school, it's still weird to Riley how Maya hasn't been coming to her house every morning even though it's been weeks. Riley walks into school and goes to their usual spot when she meets up with the rest of the gang, seems like she's the first one there today which is again.... weird. She can't help but think about how her and Maya would always be the last ones to get there. Riley looks around to see if her friends are there yet and then sees Maya walking towards her. Maya takes a glance at Riley and then leans against a locker, once again ignoring her like she has been for the past few weeks. Riley keeps wondering where were the rest of her friends because they were taking longer than usual so she texts Farkle because he always answers right away.

"Hey Farkle, where are you guys?"

"sorry, running a little late. Hey, Are you and Maya in a fight or something?"

"How did you even know...."

"Well, you two are always the last ones to get there so there's that and Its been some tension lately too so just taking a wild guess. You guys should talk it out before class"

"Farkle, you have no idea what we are even in a fight about it."

"You're right, I don't. What I do know is that you two can get through anything together so just talk. Btw we are already in class so you don't have to wait for us"
