I climb through my best friend's bay window. I need to talk to her. I need to tell her that I broke things off with Lucas.

"Lucas, I need to talk to you" he kisses my cheek
"Sure, what is it?"
"You might wanna sit down for this"
"Okay" we sit on my bed
"We need to take a break" he frowns, I hate doing this
"What? Why?"
"Riley, she has feelings for you"
"That doesn't mean that-"
"Yes, it does" I take a deep breath to keep myself from crying
"I saw the way you care about her. You like her Lucas" he sighs
"Do you remember what you said at couples game?" I raise my eyebrows
"You said that you can like more people but only love one, and that's you Maya" he starts kissing me, gently
"I love you"
"I love you too Lucas" I whisper back in between kisses but pull away after a while"But I also love Riley. And even though it's a different kind of love I still care about her and her feelings. I don't wanna hurt her"
"I don't want to either, Maya. But she has to deal with it" he starts to lean in but I stop him
"L-let's just take a break and figure things out, okay?" I can feel his breath on my lips
"Okay, whatever you say" It's very hard for me to contain myself right now
"B-but I guess one last kiss won't hurt anyone" why can't my mouth just shut up?
"Yeah, you're right" he climbs over me and kisses me again. But this will be the last time and he knows it. This is why his kisses are much more softer and passionate that I could have ever imagined. His hands keep going from my cheeks down to my hips, making my body shudder. I should stop this but I can't and this frightens me, the lack of control. Lucas seems to be loosing control too since he keeps kissing me more and more deeply, pulling me closer when I didn't think closer was possible. His hands now travel through my whole body, not stopping, not checking in. The permission he needs is in every response I give him, my quickening breath and the movements of my body.
"Lucas" I say in a whisper when he starts kissing my neck
"I think I might die from this. I feel like I'm going to die" he takes it as a compliment to continue but at the moment he tugs my shirt I stop him
"Wait. I'm sorry. I mean-" Damn, I always have to ruin everything. All the excitement, all the magic, drained away.
"It's fine" Then he kisses me. A different kind of kiss, lips, just barely open, but still deep and full of feeling
"Whatever you say Maya" he kisses my forehead
"Whatever you say"

I don't wanna hurt Riley in any way. I want her to be happy, even if that means giving up Lucas.
"I need to ask your permission for something" Okay, seems like our conversation has to wait a little longer
"Whatever you want"
"Aw, ever since we were little kids, you would always say, 'whatever you want', even before you knew what it was"
"You got a good thing going there, kid. Don't blow it"
"Maya, you don't know what you're getting yourself into. Remember when I first asked you if we wanted to be friends?"
"Did I take it on? Am I still here?"
"You can't just say yes this time. This one's different" I raise my eyebrows
"Whatever you want"
"I want to completely redo-"
"Your hair"
"You wanna change my hair?"
"I think you could use something once"
"I don't want to change my hair" I sigh
"I gotta look at that every day"
"You change your hair" I'm sorry but I'll keep it just like it is right now
"Stop being ridiculous!"
"I want to completely redo-"
"The way you dress!"
"You don't like me at all, do you?" I give her a hug
"You're my favorite person in the world. I wouldn't change a thing about you"
"I want to tear down the bay window" I'm sorry, what?
"You shut your face"
"It's time" It's not.
"What's the matter with you?"
"We're changing"
"We're not"
"Maya, the most important things in our lives are changing. The bay window is one of the most important things in our lives. It's changing with us. It's time"
"Riley, look at me. Some things mean too much to us to ever change. I don't want this place to ever change. Look at me and tell me you understand that"
"Maya, it's time" this makes no sense! Why does she wanna change our safe place?!
"No. You don't have my permission for this. This place has always been my sanctuary from the storm"
"Maya, we're doing it"
"It never mattered what was going on outside these windows. When I sit here with you, I'm safe. We're not changing that"
"You looking forward to high school?"
"We still don't know that's gonna happen!"
"Maya, it's going to happen. You stink at change and I hit the ground running from the very first day"
"I stink at change? Remember when you were afraid that Lucas was changing? Remember, you said, 'change fills my pockets with pennies of uncertainty.' You stink at change"
"Yes, but I've changed. Maya, it's a natural thing about growing up. We're changing whether you like it or not"
"Not. Okay? You know what's natural? The way the sun comes in through these windows and the pillows are warm when you put your head on them, or how the moon glows off of the curtain and we don't care that it's the middle of the night because we're here, and we're safe, and we're protected"
"And we're doing it" I try to save the situation
"Or how Farkle comes in through the window all our lives and says, 'ladies!' I don't want that to ever change" as I finish the sentence he appears
"Hey" hey? Is that all he got? I roll my eyes
"Why do things change, Farkle?"
"Because things grow. Did you know that every seven years, your body grows a whole new set of cells? Every seven years, it's like you're a whole new person"
"Mr. Norton taught us that in Science"
"Yeah? Well, I'm exactly the same as I was when I was seven, and I'll be exactly the same when I'm 21"
"See, the difference between you at 7 and now is that at 7, you just met me and now, you've learned to use me" I wrap an arm around him
"I know a good thing when I see it. You've been growing ever since we met"
"Yeah. Farkle, I hope we can say that you've grown into a handsome young man without embarrassing you"
'Uh no, you can't"
"Look at him, Riles. Remember the little boy he was? Remember the first day we met him?"
"Do I remember? He saved my life, Maya. He saved my life twice, and you didn't even save it once" I roll my eyes. She should be already over it
"You have to wift your head, Wiwey" we all remember the first time that we met
"Look how much Farkle's changed. It's nothing to be afraid of. Maya, we're changing the bay window"
"Why can't you just change your hair?" I totally agree with Farkle on this one
"You're changing the bay window?" I roll my eyes in annoyance when Lucas comes in
"You're doing what?!" Elliot shouts in panic when he comes in
