The After Effect

Chapter 18

Farkle POV

"Kiss me." My heart skipped a beat when I heard those words...those stupid words I have wanted to here my entire life.

But not now. Not anymore.

She can't just do this. I am not her puppet.

I like Smackle now.

"Riley! No , what is wrong with you?"

She gave a cynical laugh. "Don't you get it Farkle? Everyone now sees me as the bad guy. So now I am just living up to that expectation. So kiss me." She then shrugged.

I gave her a flat look. "I thought you were trying to get us to forgive you?"

"Oh I am." She said while nodding her head.

"Then why do something that would make us hate you?" I asked while raising my eyebrow.

"Because maybe if you guys actually have evidence to support your bullshit you might just forgive me in time instead of listening to your wild thoughts." She replied.

I laughed. "That's complete bullshit. What's your real reason?"

"I don't know okay?!? Maybe I just want to see if they correct." She said exasperated.

I shook my head. "Well don't even bother , you ain't getting to me."

"Okay geez I get it! I basically stole Lucas from Maya while lying. I am sorry! But it doesn't mean that I am going to steal everyone's boyfriend alright." She said while throwing her hands around wildly.

"Yeah you sure are making your case at this exact moment." I said my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Well I don't know maybe they were right?" She said with a look of desperation in her eyes.

I shook my head then gave a non humorous laugh. "No they not! You can't like me Riley. Its not possible." I said with determination.

"And why not? Why can't I like you? What's so wrong with that. You were in love with me, can't the roles switch?" She asked as she stepped closer to me.

I laughed again. "YOU DON'T GET IT! YOU NEVER DID! AND YOU NEVER WILL RILEY!"

She looked a bit taken back. "What do you mean? What don't I get? Why can't this just finally happen?"

"I was in love with you! Okay. And you didn't love me back! Now I am ready to move on and its like (mmgh) you're going to build me up all over again. Well I'm done. I am done." I said completely frustrated and flustered.

Riley looked shocked then she had a sad look on her face. "You said you would never stop loving me."

Riley P.O.V.

"Well you not the same person I fell for anymore Riley. You not the same girl I wanted to go to Pluto with. You just you someone else entirely. And you lost me. Okay? After tonight you lost me." Farkle said with a serious expression and tears brimming his eyes.

I nodded. "Well then prove it."

"What?" He asked looking confused.

"Prove to me that I've lost you ,that you no longer love me." I said.

"And how am I supposed to do that?" He asked.

"Kiss me." I responded.

I know what you thinking. You thinking I am a bitch and a hoe but I-I just need to do this.

Farkle shook his head and laughed. "Are you kidding me? Riley weren't you just listening to anything I said?"

"I was. And I don't believe you so prove me wrong and kiss me damn it." I said frustrated.
