Maya was laying in bed sound asleep when she had another flashback. Which were at that part just a dream.
"Movie night. Movie night. Coward! I know!
No other choices? Oh believe me, the a story of your lives is better than whatever we got here."
Maya suddenly woke up without knowing what is going on. Was it a dream or was it something that actually could happen? She saw three pictures laying on her desk and looked at them. Instantly remembering a lot more.
"How do you know when you love someone? You know what? I'm through playing games, I want to talk to you. Who? Who?

Tell me what you know right now. I'm a lot younger than my brothers and sister. So they won't have a relationship with you either? So I spent a lot of time just watching them. So far we're still talking about you and me. Stop it. No. I've learned to be pretty good at observing people. Understanding what's going on with them. You sure you're ready to hear this? Right now. Even if it was bad for me? Right now. What I have observed about you... is that you are the best friend anyone could ever have. Maybe it's 'cause your dad left. Maybe it's 'cause you never felt that love... but it gave you the greatest capacity for love that I've ever seen. Say that again. Why, you didn't understand it? No, I understood it. Say it again. Say it 50 times. Say it in French. You heard me the first time. I did. Thank you, but you're wrong. It's Riley that's the best friend that you could ever have. Yeah. What I've also noticed, Maya, is that you've cared about Riley so much for so long, that the moment she decides to care about somebody else... Lucas. You need to protect her. How? You needed to see if she was safe with him. Yeah, well, how could I possibly do that? Well, let's see, all right? You lose yourself and become like her so you could get to know him like she knows him. What a great way to know if he was good enough for your best friend. I was protecting her? She would do the same for you. She did. She brought me back. And now that you're you? I don't like Lucas like that. How do you know? I went out with him one time. Poured a smoothie on his head. In a cute, romantic way? No. In a, he's so nice I wanted to mess him up, kind of way. He's perfect for Riley. I know, because when you're Riley, it's hard not to like him. That was the first thing I found out. When you were Riley? Yes. But now I'm me. How do you feel now? I feel like... if you know me at all... and you know the last thing I would ever do is want anything that was Riley's. Why? Because I love her. I always have and she loves me. We would never take from each other, and there's nothing that could ever happen to change that. Good. Good, you know, that's a real adult way of thinking. Thank you, Josh. Hey. Why is this bad for you? That it isn't Lucas who you like? That you remember who you are now? That conversation is the most important part of any relationship, and that you and I just had another amazing one? Josh? What? Why have you let me hold on to your hand this entire time? I don't know. I don't know everything.
