Heyyyy. Please don't attack me. I'm back. I've had a terrible and stressful few years but I'm back in the writing mood. Pls show love to keep me motivated thank you so much to the few who have read.

I wake up and see Holland at the edge of my bed scrolling on her phone waiting. "Hollz? What's wrong?" I ask. She looks at me and smiles, "Oh good you're up." I sit up and adjust my hair I know is now a mess. "Yeah why'd you need to speak at.." I look at the clock on the wall. "..7am?" I ask. She hands me a set of clothes and smiles. "I thought you needed to get up and the two boys are waiting in the living room for you."
"Farkle and Lucas?! This early?" I lay down and rub my eyes trying to wake myself up. "They just got here. Literally 2 minutes ago. I've been waiting for an actual minute." She shrugs. I throw my legs off the side of the bed and sit myself up. "What's up with those two anyways? First they hate each other for you, and then-"
"Wait-wait-wait. Nobody told me this?" I ask. "The fight they had was because of a fight over you 3 years ago. They hadn't talked to each other until you came back." She explains. I facepalm and lean on the hand not covering my face. "I knew I left things confusing with Farkle but Lucas??" I stress. "I suppose their here to talk to you about that. I ordered them to get their situation situated before seeing you again together. And I suppose they new they had until tomorrow for your party." She shrugs. I get up and change. I don't care that Holland sees, we've been connected at the hip for so long both of us have seen each other unclothed. "I hope you liked the outfit I chose for you. And I found this inside one of your shoes." I look to see she's holding a ring on a necklace. It's Lucas' ring. "I thought you'd want it since it looked like it hadn't seen the light of day since you last wore those boots which were the last time you came back from New York years ago." Holland explains but I was more focused on the fact that my ring was found. I take it and look inside. Bestest Friends. "Thank you." I say. She smiles and leaves the room. I hear a slight mumble from the living room and someone walk to Auggies room. I suppose it's Holland going back to bed. I've changed into a cropped sweater from my best friend Shane's Merchandise with skinny jeans and my hair in a messy bun. I look to see my avocado socks and smile as I keep them on.
I walk out to see Lucas and Farkle sitting on the couch. It's so quiet you can hear a pen drop on cotton. "Hey." I say aloud. They both look back and see me. "Spencer we need to talk." Farkle says. He looks worried but also calm. Lucas looks just worried. "I know." I let out a small smile and move to the arm chair closest to the kitchen. They look at each other and look at me. "I think each of you should explain yourself one at a time." I say. They nod and I see Farkle start to speak first.
"Spencer...Before you left for the last time we ended our small spark and you left. You left me confused but also with all my answers. I had nothing to be confused about when it came to our relationship but I was confused as hell when it came to myself. I missed you. I was starting high school and even tho I'd only had 1 school year with you, I felt like you'd been in my life forever." He stops and looks at Lucas before continuing. "I saw Lucas and -as untrue as it is- I felt like if he had never hurt you you wouldn't have left us. We could've had high school together. We could've all grown as a group...Tabloids popped up and said you were FaceTiming him at one point and I lost it. The next day I saw Lucas I didn't want anything to do with him. I avoided him and only spoke to Riley and Maya. When it was group activities I stayed with Riley and Maya. I never tried to reach out to you only because I saw you with Tyler in Hollywood and you would probably see Lucas' side rather than mine." I look at Lucas, who was looking down at his hands. "Last day of sophomore year I punched Lucas. We started yelling. He called me names. I called him names. Everyone saw a side of me I never thought I had. We never spoke again and I regret everything about how I've chosen to act to this day." Lucas looks at Farkle with confusion. "He's not telling you everything." Lucas adds. Farkle looks back at him. "Yes I did. It's my fault and I'm sorry." He says. Lucas shakes his head. "I can't let myself get off the hook just like that." He adds and sits on the couch closest to me. "Last year Farkle wanted to talk and I said yes. I met with him and as he was going to apologize I punched him. And ran out. I couldn't help but remember how he had pointed the finger at me for all the wrong things." He looks to Farkle. "I'm sorry for not letting this patch up when we had the chance earlier." He says. They hug each other and sit down to look at me.
"Im glad I'm caught up and I'm glad you two are made up." I smile. "I probably FaceTimed Lucas to see if he had found my ring when I left." I say. I notice to see he has it on. "You kept it?" I ask. "Yeah, of course I did. Why wouldn't I?" He smiles. That damn smile. "Well Holland found this in my boot this morning." I pull out the necklace from my pocket. "Wow! What a coincidence." Farkle laughs. I decide to put it on and look at the boys. "I know this will be bumpy but can we just be friends? I'm not even a week into my stay and I'm already having boy problems." I laugh. They smile. "Of course." "Anything for you." They say at the same time.

I walk into Riley's old room and see Tyler awake and on his phone. Everyone went to Topanga's and got a frappe. "I think we need to talk." I say. He looks up from his phone and sees me. He turns it off and puts it on the nightstand. "What's up." He smiles lightly. I move to the edge of the bed. "I can't do this Tyler." I sigh. "What do you mean this?" He asks adjusting himself to sit upright. "I mean the touching and the kissing just for fun." I look at him dead straight in the eyes. "I don't want this. I'm not in love." I say. I quickly wish I can take it back. I feel a sharp pain on my cheek. "SO WHAT YOU WERE JUST PLAYING ME?!" I hear muffled. I'm more distracted on the handmark burning on my face. "Tyler that's not what-" I'm thrown off the bed and onto the ground. I see him stand up now. "What the hell?!" I yell but I'm interrupted with a kick. I can't breathe and can't get up. "I'm sorry, Amber Shay, but you can't get away that easily. It's bad enough the only reason why I hang out with Holland and Dylan is because of you." He says. He pulls me by the neckline of my shirt to look him in the eyes. "Then why don't...you leave." I say out of breath. He smiles. "You didn't think I'd give up the opportunity to tell the press of our secret love affair that would blossom on this trip?" He smiles at my with the look for crazy in his eyes. He stands me up against the wall. "Now I can just tell them about how you broke my heart." He fake pouts before laughing in my face. I feel a punch in my gut. I cry out for help before I'm shut up with a punch in the face. He throws me on the floor again and he stays where he is. "Who are they gonna believe Spence? Me, the boy heartbroken and thrown out? Or you? The girl with a newly sparked love triangle once again with her hometown buddies, not needing me anymore." He says and starts walking towards me. He crouches again over me and hold my neckline. I'm slapped once again. "You'll wish you never broke my heart." He said.
I scream again and again in between slaps until I see the door open. "WHAT THE HELL?!" I see Dad and Dylan grab Tyler and throw him off of me. I see Mom walk in and lead me out of the room. She walks me to the living room where i meet with Lucas and Farkle walking to probably get Tyler out as well, Maya who sits next to me and Holland who holds me, and Auggie who was being escorted out of the apartment by Riley. I can't stop crying until I see Tyler being thrown out by what looks like old Texas Lucas.
Everyone stayed around while I iced my face and said how Tyler was awful and they would never hang out with Tyler on their own time ever again.
"What happened?"
