A/N: Hey guys so this is a bunch of unrelated one-shots, using songs. This first one is a Rucas, romantic one-shot, using the song Somebody to You by The Vamps featuring Demi Lovato. It is Lucas' POV up until where Demi sings. Then it's Riley's POV. Tell me what you think, here we go...
I used to wanna be
Living like there's only me
But now I spend my time
Thinking 'bout a way to get you off my mind
It was the start of Year 7 and I had just moved from Texas to New York and suddenly a girl fell into my lap on the subway. She was absolutely beautiful and once she got off at her station all I could think about was her. When I got to my new school there she was again sitting right in front of me and even when she wasn't facing me I couldn't help but admire her. That was seven years ago and I still can't seem to get her out of my head.
I used to be so tough
Never really gave enough
And then you caught my eye
Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike
Another college year about to begin and all I can think about is Riley. I can't take it any longer, I can't start another year without seeing her.
"Hey buddy." A voice comes through the speaker of my phone.
"Farkle, I can't take it any longer, I need to see Riley." I say.
"I don't know man. She has changed a lot she do\esn't bring you up in conversation and when you are she tends to tune out or change the topic." he says.
"I just can't take it any longer she has changed her number and you guys won't tell me what it is." I complain.
"I know, she told us to though," he says "When does your vacation end?"
"In three weeks. Why?" I ask.
"Look I have a spare bedroom in my apartment, why don't you come to New York for a visit." he says.
"Yes, that would be amazing." I say. "I'll text you when I'm coming."
Before I knew it, I had found a flight, packed and hoped on a plane to New York City in just a few days. Farkle was there to greet me and he brought me to his apartment where I got set up and stayed for the rest of that day. He texted Maya to inform her that I was here and not to tell Riley cause it was a surprise.
The next day arrived and I went with Farkle to Maya and Riley's apartment. Maya answered and snuck me inside to the kitchen and told us she would go get Riley. As soon as she walked in, my heart hammered in my chest. She was yet again even more beautiful. Her long brown hair had now changed to an ombre style and even in her Pajama top and short she looked amazing.
Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh, now!
"H-hi R-Riley." I choke out, butterflies filling my stomach. I'm such an idiot
"Lucas?" she asks rubbing her eyes.
And all I can say back is "Hi," wow I'm so stupid.
She stares at me in awe before walking out of the kitchen.
"Did I say something?" I ask Farkle and Maya.
"All you said was 'hi' Ranger Rick I don't think you said anything to offend her." Maya replies walking out of the kitchen to follow her best friend. Farkle shrugs and follows her too. I followed as well.
She was just sitting on the couch staring at nothing in particular just whatever was in front of her.
"I can't believe it. He is actually here." she muttered before looking up at me.
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
I arrived back in Texas after hanging with Riley, Maya and Farkle for almost three weeks. It felt just like old times but we were more mature. Riley had definitely changed, her optimism had faded, yet she still had hope. She was very sophisticated and had changed from the major teaching to becoming psychologist. Maya was still doing art majo but also teaching. Farkle was majoring in science but mainly biology. Riley finally gave me her phone and text each other everyday or two but I want this relationship to go further. I know she doesn't want to have a long distance relationship, but after seeing her again it made it hurt even more to leave her. After this year I have one more year left of college, I just need to make it through those years without losing contact.
Everybody's tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
It has been two years since I went to New York, and I had just finished college. Riley and I had lost contact yet again. It's like we are not meant to be, but I don't think I could go another day without seeing her. I have to find a job, but I think I'm going to visit New York again. I find a flight online and text Farkle that I'm coming to NYC for a visit. When I arrive there she is standing at my gate with a sign saying 'Mr. L Friar.' She looks around the gate and when she spots me she engulfs me in a giant bear hug.
"Lucas, I've missed you so much." she says as she pulls away.
"Me too." I reply. Riley has changed her look once again. She went back to her old plain brown hair. Today she was wearing black high wasted shorts, a white crop top and white converse. Right then and there I couldn't let her slip away from me once again. I'm not going to leave her and feel pain in my heart again. I need her.
I used to ride around
I didn't wanna settle down
But now I wake each day
Looking for a way that I can see your face
I tried so hard to forget Lucas after high school but his face was engraved in my brain. I changed my look and tried to start a new but my heart still belonged to the cowboy who was currently still in Texas. When he came back for a visit two years ago Farkle and Maya didn't tell, and it was probably the best surprise of my life. But all it did was remind me of how at the end of the holiday's he would be leaving once again and I won't see him. At one stage last year I was going to go Texas but I thought better of it. I needed to try and forget Lucas to get on with my life, but I just, can't
I've got your photograph
But baby I need more than that
I need to know your lips
Nothing ever mattered to me more than this
Eventually throughout his time away we drifted apart. I didn't talk to him regularly on the phone or text. I barely ever talked to him at all actually. I tried going out with other boys but when I did all I could think about was him. I wanted him.
One day I was going through my old photo's looking at the good times when all of us were together when Farkle called me up.
"Lucas is coming here again." he says.
"What! Omg! When?" I ask.
"Why don't you go pick him up tomorrow? I'll text you the details." he says.
"Yes! Thank you so much Farkle! Bye!" I say and hang up. A minute later he send me the details and I'm ready to see him the day before he arrives.
The next day rolls along and in no time I am at the airport. I made a little sign saying 'Mr L Friar' and now I just wait. I start to see people coming out from his gate and I frantically look for him.
Then I see standing there smirking at me. I smile and charge at him, pushing myself against his chest and wrapping his arms around him. He hugs back and when I pull away and look into his beautiful green eyes I know that this is more important than anything.
Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh, now!
"Lucas, I've missed you so much." I say.
"Me too." He replies. I want to kiss him, right now and here, I want to tell him I love him and I have loved him since the day I met him. But I knew this wasn't the right place or right time. I was over it, why was my heart falling for a boy who was probably gonna leave me again? I don't know.
Then something changed, his lips were now pressed and I subconsciously kissed back moving my lips with his. When he broke it off he just smiled and said "I've been waiting to do that for a long time." and all I can do is blush after he says that. I smirked and placed my lips on his again when pulling away I said "Me too."
We walked hand in hand out of the airport and I drove him to Farkle's apartment. As he went to go knock before I left I quickly ran up to him and kissed his cheek, I then hopped in the car and drove home.
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
When I got to my apartment I flopped onto the couch and sighed.
"Looks like pumpkin is love struck. Did you find the one?" she asks.
"I think I did." I answer.
"Do I know this guy or girl?" she asks.
"Yeah, very well." I reply
"Can you tell me who it is?" she asks
"Try and guess." I say sitting up.
"Is it hopalong?" Maya questioned.
"Yes." I sigh falling back onto the couch.
She smirks and says "I'm ordering Chinese tonight."
Three words begin to repeat in my brain 'I Love Lucas'
Everybody's tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
Lucas has been in NYC for four weeks now and I have realized I love Lucas. I can't let him go back to Texas without knowing that. Today he asked me to come to central park with him. So we walked to the park and we sat under a big willow tree.
"I have to tell you something." We both say at the same time.
"Okay, you go first." he says.
"I have known this for a while now I just couldn't get up the guts to tell you." I say and take a deep breath. "I love you." he smiles at me.
"What were you going to say?" I ask
"I was going to tell you that I loved you too." he says. Suddenly his face goes serious. "Stand up." he says. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion but do as I'm told.
"What are you doing Lucas?" I ask.
Right then he gets down on one knee and says "Riley Matthews, I have loved you ever since you fell onto my lap on the subway. When I left for Texas I felt a whole in heart. I love you so much. So, would you, Riley Matthews, marry me?" he pulls a ring out from his back pocket.
"Yes."
