*I did change it a little because I didn't want it to be super long


Lucas didn't understand how it happened, one minute he was fine, the next minute he wasn't, he was out drinking with his friend Xavier. They had gone to veterinary school together and outside of Farkle and Zay, he was one of his closest friends. Xavier knew the story of how Lucas met Riley, he knew about their long love but he couldn't understand it. Every time the two were together he questioned their relationship, because to Xavier a love like that didn't exist. Lucas knew better, he had seen it with the Matthews, and he had seen it with his own parents. It was possible to fall in love completely when you're young.

Although they were just talking with one another that night, after a long day at work, Xavier's words started to make Lucas question himself. He had heard the man say that it shouldn't work over and over again for months, that Lucas should have had a normal college life dating around. Lucas wondered if Riley was still the one for him. That night the more he heard his friend's words the more he drank thinking about what it would have been like if he hadn't married Riley when they were so young. They had kids and he loved them but the thought of him losing his youth made him bitter as the alcohol slid down his throat. He had had ten shots of tequila in a row on top of a couple of beers. He knew Riley hated when he drank because she felt like it changed who he was, but he didn't know who he was.

Riley was tucking in the twins, reading them their favorite book when she heard the door open and close down the hall. She kissed her kids, Violet who had her father's hair and her mother's eyes, and Colbie who had his grandfather's curly brown hair and Lucas's green eyes. The two were sound asleep in their beds, but as Lucas walked around she felt that if she didn't control him he would wake the two of them. Which would only agitate her since it was a difficult job to put them both to bed in the first place.

She quietly left the room, making sure that their little nightlight was on before going to the living room to see Lucas sitting on the couch mumbling to himself. She loved her husband to death but hated whenever he went out with Xavier, because the other man was single and constantly used Lucas as his wingman making him drink as much as possible without thinking of the consequence. Usually Riley helped him to bed making sure he had water and aspirin nearby, but today there was something different about him.

"Lucas," she said quietly as she walked towards him. "Lucas, honey do you need help getting to bed?"

"No," he said like a pouty little boy. "I want to know," he started as he hiccupped. "I want to know why we're together, relationships like ours aren't supposed to work, we shouldn't have been together as long as we have."

"Lucas you're drunk," she said sitting down next to him, the stench of alcohol radiating off of his body. "If you want to have this conversation you need to be sober."
