Zay - Tell them everything.
Riley realizes that she can't hide it anymore.
Riley - A couple of months ago, my parents told Auggie, Maya, and I that they were separating for a while, that my father was going to move out. I didn't know how to react. I was devasted. A couple of weeks later, I asked my mom to hire someone at the bakery so I can have more free time. I found out the man she hired, Mark, was someone that she had been seeing. Again, I didn't know how to react. As time went by, I saw how happy my mother was with Mark. One night, my mom was working late and Auggie was with my dad. I was in my room ready to go to sleep when I hear my door open...
She pauses and Takes a deep breath. She's trying not to cry...
Riley - Mark comes into my room...and he starts to... um touch me. At first I didn't know what to do, I didn't even know what was really happening. He covered my mouth and told me that If i were to scream, he would hurt Auggie. I couldn't let him hurt him... so I didn't do anything to stop him. The morning after, I was leaving for school when Mark stopped me. He said that if I tell anyone about what had happened, no one would believe me. I didn't not tell anyone for that reason. I didn't tell anyone because I saw how happy my mom was. She gave up everything, I couldn't take her happiness away. That's when I started to cut myself. I wanted to feel something, because after that kept happening over and over again, I was numbed. This went on for months, until one night I said some bad things to him and it got heated. He slapped me. After he saw the pain that it caused me, he realized that it pleasured him. And that's when the hitting started. When he started hurting me, I started to feel pain again. And that's when I didn't want to feel anything. I just wanted to not feel pain anymore, so I took the pills to forget everything for a couple of hours.
The room was completely silence. Everyone had tears in their eyes. They couldn't believe it.
Lucas - And you think that keeping this a secret was going to make everything disappear? HUH? That is the most stupidest thing that you have ever done Riley!
Lucas leaves. Riley is trying so hard not to cry.
Maya - How could you not tell me about this? I'm your best friend. I could've helped you! We all could have helped you Riley!
Zay - Do you really think that your mother would blame her daughter for getting rapped. No she wouldn't have. She would have done something about it. Her family comes first Riley!
Maya - I can not believe that you didn't tell me
Farkle - It's because he has money isn't it.
Riley - How did you know that?
Smackle - We saw him at a charity event one night
Farkle - With your mother

Flashback to the charity event that happened a couple of weeks ago*
Smackle - I never know what to wear for these things. I'm either over dressed, or under dressed. I can never win.
Farkle - Either way you look great.
Farkle and Smackle share a little intimate kiss
Smackle - What's Mrs. Mathews doing here?
Farkle - And why is she with that man that works at the bakery?
Smackle - and why is she kissing him?
Topanga- Smackle, Farkle, you two remember Mark.
Mark - Nice to see you two again.
Smackle - Mrs. Mathews, what are you doing here?
Topanga- Well Mark invited me to be his date for tonight.
Mark - I'm a big charity man, I like to give back to the kids as much as I can.
It was silence between the four of them.
Topanga - Okay well, I'll see you two later. Have fun.
They walk away to their tables.
Farkle - Woah
Smackle - Woah is correct
Flashback over*

Maya - What does money have to do with this?
Farkle - He has money, so that means that he can basically get out of anything.
Maya - How much money are we talking about?
Smackle - More than the Mincus's.
Maya - Woah.
Maya - That's wrong! He could basically get away with RAPPING someone just because he can pay for it? No no NO. He is NOT getting away with this!
Riley - Maya please wait.
Maya - Riley no! I'm pissed that you didn't tell me about this and I'm hurt and I am pissed at Mark. I am so mad at you that I want to kill you, but I can't because I love you too damn much. And because I love you and because you have done everything for me, and because you showed me right from wrong, you are not stopping me from doing the right thing!
Maya leaves.
Zay - You lied to me.
Riley - Zay, I'm sorry I tried, I really tried. I just. I just really couldn't stop.
Zay - You do know that Lucas has already told your parents everything right?
Riley - I knew the minute he got up.
Farkle - Riley. He is not going to get away with this.
Riley - He already did.
