Summary: What if Jake won the season?? Would Riya get the same bad ending again??
Jake and Riya were fighting to win the season. In the end, the score was tied, 2-2. When Jake got better with Tom, he felt stronger than ever. Then he looked at Riya. He saw her pitying look, even for a split second.
Then Jake got in the ring. He was more determined than ever to win the season.
Riya and Jake started fighting. Riya wasn't doing well. Jake had cornered her badly.
Jake: It's over!! You lose!!
Afterwards, Jake tried to push Riya, but Riya suddenly screamed and tried to defeat him, but what Riya didn't know was that Jake had predicted this long ago. Jake took the shield and pushed Riya hard to the ground.
Now we are at the point where it hurts....
Riya had lost. She had fallen to the ground and.... Riya had seen Jake up there. Then she heard a lot of cheering. They were all cheering Jake. Including Connor.
After Kristal happily announced that Jake had won the season, her eyes started to fill with tears. All her efforts and dirty games were in vain. While Jake won the season, Riya lost. The problem wasn't even the season. Jake was the winner in both ways. Riya was the loser in both ways. Riya watched her ex-boyfriend hug Jake tightly. It hurt her a lot.
Riya wanted to leave that place at that moment but she couldn't. She just covered her face with her hands and started crying. She made sure she was crying silently. She had never been so disappointed in herself. She couldn't believe that twink won the season.
Everyone gathered afterwards. Kristal gave Jake the money. While Jake shared his money with Ally James and Tom, Riya bit her lip and squeezed her hands tightly to keep from crying.
After Kristal closed the season, Riya ran quickly.
She knew that no one cared.
Riya was crying on the far side of the field. She was so humiliated that she couldn't do anything but cry. Knowing that Connor wasn't with her anymore didn't help the situation at all.
On the other hand, Jake realized that someone was missing.
Riya was missing.
Jake told Tom that he had a small job and would be back soon.
Then Jake started looking for Riya. He found her in no time because Riya was outside the field.
Jake saw Riya crying. He was surprised. He had never seen her cry.
Jake: Riya??
Riya didn't raise her head.
Jake: Riya, are you okay??
Then Riya decided to raise her head.
It was Jake.....
Riya: Jake??
Riya asked in an innocent voice.
Jake: Are you okay??
Riya: How do you think I can be good?? I lost the season, the game I played was all for nothing and the worst part is I lost Connor!! I lost Alec!! I lost certain potential friends (Ally Grett referring to Gabby)!! I was humiliated in front of the screens and now you're asking me if I'm good?!?!
Jake: I mean.... look, I'm sorry you didn't win but didn't you already have money??
Riya: Of course you do, I'm rich but if I won the season I would be the best person here!! You ruined that!! Just like Aiden and James!! Even Connor surpassed me!!
Jake: So.... is the only reason you came back here to get higher ratings??
Riya: Maybe but... I also wanted to go back to my roots at some point. I didn't want to be weak but.... people here weren't like the others. Other people love "Bad Riya" but the ones here hate my bad self. Good Riya never opened doors to fame for me. If I had stayed good all season long I wouldn't even be here. Even if I did, I would be considered pathetic, that is, I would be known as "the lucky girl with the sugar daddy" who "ate Connor's money". I didn't want to be called that, Jake. I wanted to achieve something on my own for once. I kept trying to tell Connor this but he wouldn't listen to me..... Even though I warned him many times....
Jake: Connor is a good man and someone who prefers to look on the bright side of everything. He probably wanted and expected you to change throughout the season. That's why he gave you a chance. In fact, one night when Connor was crying, he told me that you no longer had a place in his heart for him, meaning that he still loved you very much. You also wasted that chance many times. I feel sorry for you a little bit Riya. I made many mistakes like you, but I improved and fixed all of them. I think you should try to fix your mistakes before it's too late. Also, if you still love Connor, try apologizing.
Riya: I... I'm not sure. What if he doesn't forgive me??
Jake: We'll wait and see. I can call him for you if you want. You don't have to apologize in front of everyone. Just say it when you two are together. I'm sure Connor will forgive you.
Riya: Do you think so??
Jake: Trust me, I would say don't miss a forgiving man like Connor.
Riya smiled at Jake.
Riya: Thanks..... for everything. The talking and all.... and I think..... you played well. You deserved to win.
Jake: Thanks, you played very well too.
Riya smiled at him once more.
Then Jake smiled and turned to the others.
Riya looked the other way to see what happened. She hid on the other side of the wall so that she wouldn't be seen.
Jake was talking to Connor.
Then Connor turned around and saw Riya.
Riya stepped aside in great surprise.
Then Connor and Jake,They came to Riya.
Riya looked at Connor for a while and then hugged him crying.
Riya: I'm sorry!! I apologize a million times!! I apologize so many times for hurting you!! I apologize for hurting other people!! I apologize for being fake!! I SORRY FOR EVERYTHING!!!
Connor smiled at her lovingly.
Connor: That's a good start but I need to apologize to you too. I shouldn't have forced you. I'm a bit of an old fashioned guy and.... I have a hard time following the minds of the new generation but I'm still learning like you. Also if I forgive you can we go back to those days??
Riya: Of course Connor.... We can go back to the passionate love we had for each other and I promise this time I won't say anything bad about you or hurt you. Also... I think I'm ready to go public about our relationship. People need to understand that love has no age.
Connor: I love you Riya Sharma.
Riya: I love you too Connor Blake.
The two kissed.
On the other hand, they had all seen this moment. Jake had called the others over as they spoke. They all seemed affected. Forgiveness would take time, but they would still go a long way toward healing.
(The End)
Note: Hi everyone. A lot happened tonight. I talked to my family for a bit. There was more sadness and disappointment than anger and violence. Some sexual situations and... some hormonal issues. Anyways, my family is a bit distant. I hope things get better. They don't hate me but.... I don't know.... I'm scared of losing them.... Going back to the story, I was curious about the ending where Jake won so I decided to write it. The focus was on Riya but I initially focused on Jake because the story was going to be from his perspective but things got a bit messy. Anyways, Jake and Riya are like friends, at least according to this fic. Also, I forgot to add. Jake gives Riya his phone number so they can both stay in touch. Anyways, I'll see you in other stories, love you. Except for Zoey fans lol ;)
Note 2: I don't know if anyone wants to know but I fixed things with my family <333 We talked and..... Some things got better. There are still things they don't like. Anyways, I just wanted to add this. I hope you liked the fic and I haven't posted it anywhere for 2-3 days (Ao3 + Fanfiction) I'll post it there soon. Bye :))
