Riley and Maya were sitting by the bay window.
"What if he does come?" Riley asked Maya.
"Then we don't let Texas Lucas in" Maya responded standing up.
The girls stood up and started to put every box and anything heavy in front of the window. They weren't going to let anyone in. Everything they could find in her closet or around the room.
They stood back by Riley bed.
"That should keep him out." Maya said smiling a bit.
But that didn't last. A few seconds later everything they put there, that took twenty minutes to do, was knocked down by one push.
"Oh come on." Maya said throwing her arms in the air.
Lucas made his way through everything and shook off the last towel that was on his arm. He looked up at the girl with red puffy eyes and the other one with her arms, angry at all her hard work being destroyed.
"Did you really think there was anything that could stop me." Lucas asked the girls with a bit of angry in his voice.
"Well we were hoping there was." Maya spoke a bit quiet as she looked down at the ground, arms still crossed.
"Riley, why wouldn't you tell me about this? About someone bullying you!" Lucas asked raising his voice a bit.
"Because Lucas, I should be able to fight my own battles." Riley responded taking a step forward.
At that moment, Farkle, Zay and Smackle came through the window and looked at what happen.
"What happened here?" Zay questioned looking at everything on the floor.
"No Riley you shouldn't! You have friends and us!" Lucas contiuned tp speak.
"Riley, you wouldn't let me keep this to myself, do you really think were going to let you?" Farkle asked.
Riley didn't responded tp anything, just stood there listening.
"We wouldn't let you fight anything alone." Zay commented.
"We're your friends." Smackle added.
"I hate how Riley's always the first person to be there for us but she won't let us be there for her." Lucas said looking from his three friends behind him and the two girls in front of him.
"Because I was scared. I'm embarrassed Lucas!" Riley spoke loudly.
Everyone looked at her. She was broken but never let it show.
Maya took a step forward to Riley.
"Riles? You kept this all to yourself for months because you were embarrassed. You let this person take charge of you and pretended to be happy until she made it worst." Maya said trying to understand everything.
"Riles, We're all here for you and you can tell us anything." Maya added on.
"We care about you Riley." Lucas said.
Riley started to tear up and Maya hugged her.
Riley cried a bit into Maya and everyone else came in for a group hug around Riley.
