Maya's POV
We made it to the house after a long walk. Pappy Joe lead us to the backyard and showed us a pathway.

PJ- Just follow the pathway and you'll see a campfire waiting for you.
Lucas- Thanks Pappy Joe.

We all walked on the pathway and saw a campfire with 3 logs surrounding it. Me and Lucas sat on one and Riley and Farkle sat on the other. There was a deep silence between all of us, Riley and Farkle exchanged looks then suddenly Farkle nodded. Riley stood up and walked over to me.

Riley- Maya likes you Lucas.

I was in shock that she just said that, my head was spinning inside, I just looked at Riley.

Maya- Riley why did you-
Riley- You need to feel however you feel.
Maya- But I don't Riley.
Riley- You have to stop lying to yourself, I kept on lying to myself about Lucas and Charlie and Farkle,  but it broke me, it- it bombarded my head with questions that were so strong, it hurt. You said your flaw was being broken, keep on lying to yourself and you'll be shattered into pieces.
Maya- Riley I don't-
Riley- I'm doing this for you Maya, you're my best friend I'm only doing what's right, I hope you can forgive me.

I just nod and watch her and Farkle walk away. As much as Riley said, her voice was still calm, it still had hope for me, her words changed me. I sat on the opposite side of the campfire and just stared at it. Lucas still stared at me from what just happened.

Maya- Could you not?
Lucas- What?
Maya- Did you not learn that staring is rude?
Lucas- Oh, sorry.

I can't believe that he said sorry for that. I did so much worst things and didn't say sorry, I finally realized that I can't hide anymore.

Maya- No I'm sorry.
Lucas- What?
Maya- I lied, about the whole it should be you and Riley thing.
Lucas- What are you talking about?
Maya- What I'm saying is, us that I don't know how my best friend feels anymore! And I hate that feeling more than anything! I don't even know if I like you because I'm protecting her or if I like you cause I am Riley!  I don't know anymore! I mean how is it even possible that I can like two people at the same time?  How can I not hurt one of you if I like the two of you?

I opened myself completely, tears were streaming down my face every second I spoke, I started rambling things out until I felt Lucas' hands on my face wiping my tears.

Lucas- Hey, hey, hey, hey, you are not broken.

I didn't really understand what he was talking about, was I rambling about something that concerned him?

Maya- What?
Lucas- You are not broken do you hear me?

I just nod in reply.

Lucas- You were broken, you thought you had darkness surround you everywhere. But no, because you have Riley, your mom, Farkle, and people in your lives who light up your day. You have people you believe that you have a heart of gold, you have a heart if gold Maya.

I was touched by what he said, he thinks I have a heart of gold. Me! Maya Hart the broken has a heart of gold!?!? I smiled at him and realized that he forgot someone else that lights up my day.

Maya- You forgot someone.
Lucas- Who?

I hesitantly slowly lean in and kiss Lucas, I honestly don't know how I felt right at the moment. It was happening all so quickly. I pull away and look at him in the eye.

Maya- You.
Lucas- Me?
Maya- Yes you! Ranger Rick!  You Huckleberry!  You Bucky McBoingBoing! You Huh-Hurr!

I huh- hurr in his face just until he holds my face by his and kisses me again, I just close my eyes and pull away. Did he really just do that? Huckleberry kissed me?

Maya- Please tell me that you won't do that everytime I huh- hurr you.
Lucas- I promise.
Maya- Thank you.
Lucas- No problem.
Maya- Please be safe on that bull tommorow.

I couldn't help but notice that we were holding hands.

Lucas- I promise my life on it.
Maya- Good.
Lucas- Good.
