"What the hell are you doing here!? You almost scared me to death, woman!" I yell in a hushed tone so my daughter wouldn't wake up. The girl held up a bobby pin and I wasn't too shocked to know she could pick a lock.
"I need to see Maya, is she home?" She asked as I guided her to the living room where we could actually talk without risking to awake the sleeping baby.
"Shes with Riley and they're on their way back home," I looked down at her.
"I'm glad to hear Riley's back.." She respondes honestly. "Farkle, I-I..I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt her by sleeping with Lucas, I-I I was drunk and didn't know what I was doing."
"Smackle, I can't believe you. Why would you do that to Riley? She didn't deserve that. Sure, you guys were drunk, but Riley and Lucas were together. If this was some plot revenge on me and Maya, Riley and Lucas should have been left out of it. I'm actually not too surprised since you always had a thing for Lucas, even when we were together." I told, and maybe I was being harsh, but I didn't care. She had ruined our friendship just as I got back and things were good.
"I feel terrible for what I did, Farkle! Believe me I really do! And this wasn't some revenge plot on anyone. I had feelings for Lucas when we slept together, sure! I won't lie! But you can't judge me just because Riley and Lucas were together and me and you weren't . Do you think I want to be hated by Zay, Maya, Riley, and you? No I don't." She retorted, and I could tell she was angry because her face was red and her fists were formed at her sides.
"You're right, I'm in no position to judge you. I just can't believe you did this," I took a seat as I shook my head.
"I know...I messed up big time..and this isn't all-" I turn to look at her, and she had a look on her face I had never seen before. "Farkle, you have to help me get to Maya.."

After helping Riley settle back into her room I decided it was time to break the news to her.
"Riles, I need to talk to you." I began, and took her hand and guided her to our bay window. "I wanted to tell you this sooner, but I couldn't risk you not coming back home. Your family was worried and so are our friends, including Smackle and Lucas."
"What is it?" She asked.
"I moved out." I waited for her to react but she went all quiet so I went on. "I was calling you all those times to tell you about my decision. Farkle got us a place, and I want Evie to grow up with her dad around. You know how much it means to me to give my daughter the best future I can. My mom and I got in a fight because of it and haven't talked since. I really hope you can understand me and know that you are still my best friend and I'll be paying visits daily. I'm not forgetting about you,"
"Wow, this is crazy.." Riley finally spoke. She looked at me with a sad but surprised look in her face. "My best friend is all grown up, huh?"
"No, not yet." I reassure and give her hand a squeeze. "I'm just trying to be a good parent."
"Maya, you are the best mom ever." Riley tells me. "Of course I understand that you need to move out and work on your family, as long as you pay daily visits and have occasional sleep overs."
"Thank you, Riles. I really needed to hear that." We come together in a hug and my phone buzzes in my pocket. I see the caller ID is Farkle, so I pick up.
"Hey." I spoke up first.
"Maya, can you come over? And before you do could you stop by a pharmacy and pick up a test?" I frowned at his words but complied.
"Riles I got to go." I tell her sadly. "Farkle needs me to run to the pharmacy and get home."
"Is everything okay?" Riley's eyebrows furrowed in concern and I did my best to give her an answer that will leave her at ease.

I ring the door bell to the loft and Farkle comes immediately. He engulfs me in a bone crushing hug and I take in his minty scent before he has to pull away. As I enter I see Smackle standing there and she holds up a small hand and waves slowly. I look over to Farkle and he says nothing.
"What are you doing here?" I ask her. I couldn't stand to se she right now, specially after I saw how broken my best friend had been. What was she doing alone with Farkle anyway? Yeah let's not even get started about how I feel about that...
"I need your help, Maya."
"Is this for you?" I held up the pregnancy test in the bag and she just looked at Farkle. He nodded for her. I frown at Farkle. "What the hell happened while I was gone?"
"No, May. It's not mine...it's ..." Farkle begins to explains and my frown relaxes as I realized I bought a test for the girl who had slept with my best friends boyfriend. And that she was potentially carrying his huckle baby.
