Riley dances to the music playing on her IPhone as she waits for the dinner she is preparing to finish cooking. Her head bobs to the beat as her feet, which were only in socks, slide across the tiled surface of her apartment. The music from the radio is interrupted by her phone telling her that she was getting a phone call. Riley grabs her phone out of her pocket and looks at the contact. A beautiful blonde girl smiling at the camera shows up. The brunette grins and picks up the phone.

"Maya?" Riley asks into her phone.

A pause, "Riles?"

Riley giggles, "It's me, Maya."

"Hey, I might be a little late to dinner... Don't wait up for me," Maya says.

Riley pouts, "That's fine..."

"Remember when we were in seventh grade, and I cried because someone called me an orphan? You found the kid who called me an orphan and started yelling at him. He finally left me alone because of you. Do you remember?" Maya asks.

Riley frowns, "Well, yeah... I'm so glad I could make you feel better."

"Remember when I got a horse for your campaign to become class president, and we hid him in your room? Then, we put a horn on him. I don't even know how we fit him through your door and got him out of the apartment complex without any weird looks."

The brunette giggles, "Yeah, my mom thought the horse was my dad! Can you believe that?"

Riley turns around towards the radio, and she listens to it for a second, "Breaking news! A drunken driver has sped out onto the road and slammed into another car, sending both off the road. The car that was hit is still being searched for."

Maya starts talking again, "Remember in high school when I took you to prom dressed as the Phantom of the Opera, and you were Christine?"

Riley looks worriedly around her, "Maya, why are you saying all of th-"

"Remember when Farkle finally asked Smackle out after we dared him to? He said that we had to go with him on the date so we dressed up and went to a nice restaurant with Smackle and Farkle. You had the salad, and I had the steak. You wanted to try some steak so I cut mine in half."

"Maya stop-"

"Riley, remember when I said that we would be best friends until the end? I still have my friendship ring on, and I hope you do, too. That was the best birthday ever. You got my mom and Shawn to finally date and eventually get married. Your friendship ring is one of my most valuable possessions, did you know that?"

"Of course I do! Maya, please, come home!"

"Remember when we finally decided to start living together? I couldn't afford to pay for an apartment by myself so you let me live with you. We always have fun together, and now I get to see you everyday. You are such a kind person."

"Maya, I heard there was a collision on the road... Where are you?"

"Riles, keep smiling. Please, forget about me and move on. Never, ever, let someone take your personality from you."

Riley starts breathing heavily, "Maya, stop! You are scaring me now!"

Maya takes a big breath, "Riley... I just want you to remember one more thing..."

The brunette feels the tears come to her eyes, threatening to spill out. Maya coughs, and Riley holds the phone tighter.

"My little plant, I... love..."

The phone cuts off, and Riley stands in the middle of her kitchen, waiting for Maya to finish. The radio is the only noise that floats into the kitchen.

"Both cars have been found. Unfortunately, we have been informed that only the drunken driver has survived. The person killed has not been identified yet. Please stay tuned for details."

Riley holds her phone closer to her ear, "Maya?"

She stares off into space, the phone still close to her ear. The radio continues to fill the apartment.

"The person has finally been identified as twenty-two year old Maya Hart. Her family has been informed of this tragic accident. It saddens me to hear that someone so young had died from something that could have easily been avoided," the radio spokesman says.

Riley drops the phone and collapses to the ground, crying. The phone skids across the floor, bumping into the table.

"Hi! This is Maya Hart, and I'm afraid I can't get to the phone right now! If it's urgent, please leave a message, and I'll get to it! If this is Riley, don't worry I'm fine! I promise!" the phone says through its speakers.

Riley gasps, tears streaming down her face, "Remember when you promised to get the bread for dinner, and I said to hurry back? Then, you promised that you would be back as soon as possible... When is as soon as possible, Maya... When is it?... Remember when you were alive, and I was hiding from the scary movie you made me watch?"

The phone finally beeps, "The voice mail is full. Please try and call again later."

Riley sobs, looking up at the ceiling, "You promised..."
