Riley's POV:
Maya and I ended up sleeping on the couch. She slept against the couch pillow and I slept against her arm. We stayed up all night eating and watching movies. We were tired as ever. It was now Sunday and we had school tomorrow, after our long Thanksgiving break.
"Riley wake up you're on my arm," Maya groans. She tiredly tries to push me off her arm.
"Nooooo," I groan back "I don't wanna,"
We kept pushing and shoving each other tiredly and weakly until I ended up on the floor. My face landed on a plate of ketchup and fries.
"Maya we need to clean up my parents will kill me if they saw this mess!" I say, finally feeling awake and wiping the ketchup off my face.
"I don't wanna," Maya groans as she stuffed her face in the pillow, she still wasn't fully awake. I jump on the couch besides her and started tickling her. She was extremely ticklish.
"Riley, hahaha, stop it! Hahaha," Maya laughs.
"Wake up lazy!"
"Ok ok I'm up, let's start cleaning," we start by picking up the plates and putting them in the sink, cleaning the tables, and vacuuming. After we finish, Maya checks her phone. 10 missed calls from her mom and 18 unread messages.
"Shit," She whispers.
"What's up?" I ask.
"I was supposed to have dinner with my mom and dad last night, I totally forgot!" She panicked.
"It's ok, they'll understand! Just go home and explain everything," I reassured her.
"Ok thanks! Love you, bye!" She waves as she scattered out the door.
"Love you too!" I managed to yell before she closed the door.

Maya's POV:
They were so going to kill me. I ran as fast as I could to my house. I stopped as I saw a familiar cowboy sitting on the steps that led to a house.
"So like what, you live here?" I ask him.
"Yeah pretty much," Lucas stood up.
"Listen, I'm sorry about my outburst on you yesterday, I was just pissed over a personal issue. I actually really enjoy the names you call me, and I hope you can forgive me,"
"You're forgiven Ranger Rick,"
"Also, I wanted to talk to you about that night in the library-"
"You're forgiven for that as well, don't worry,"
"Ok, I just wanted to make sure you know I don't have any feelings for you, I was just caught up in the moment and such," He explains.
"I know, I've got to run off but thanks Huckleberry," I started to run off.
"See you tomorrow ma'm!" He tips his imaginary hat. I ran until I reached my house. I felt extremely nervous as I knocked on my door.
"COME IN!" I heard my dad yell. I slowly open the door. My dad was laying on the couch, watching TV, and drinking beer.
"Hey I'm so sorry I missed dinner last night I was with Ri-" I was interrupted as he threw an empty beer bottle a few inches away from my face.
"SHUT UP! I DONT EVER WANT YOU HANGING OUT WITH THAT STUPID FUCKING BRUNETTE EVER AGAIN! YOU HEAR ME? YOU WALKING PIECE OF TRASH!" He yells.
"What the hell gives you the right to yell at me like that? If you're going to act like this you can kindly fucking leave my house," I say as I point towards the door.
"DON'T BACK TALK ME, BITCH! I'M NOT EVER LEAVIN THIS HOUSE AND YOURE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT!" He throws another empty beer bottle, but this time it violently hits my face. It falls down to the ground and breaks into a bunch of pieces. My cheek, where the bottle hit, was hurting like crazy. I couldn't take the pain and my eyes started watering.
"Weak ass piece of shit..." He mutters. The whole room smelled like alcohol, the couch was soaking in beer, my cheek was throbbing, and his words were like knifes. I couldn't take it.
"I'm not weak! Shut the fuck up you ugly drunk!" I manage to yell. He quickly jumps up, grabs my neck, and started choking me. He brought his face extremely close to mine. I started feeling dizzy and sick to my stomach.
"Don't you ever back talk me or insult me again bitch!" He muttered. He finally released me as my face turned red, his breath made me want to puke. I collapsed to the floor and filled my lungs up with air. I scattered to the bathroom and puked. I quickly ran to my room and cried. "They'll understand," yep, they sure did.
