Girl Meets The Protector
Author's note: So this one is my first ever fanfiction so please take it easy on me, I am just a rookie! So the inspiration behind this fan fiction came from Girl Meets The Secret of Life and from an anime I used to watch as a kid called: Inuyasha. For those of you who don't know what it is, look it up! Alright so review and hopefully I won't get chewed! ENJOY! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, places, etc from Girl Meets World, only the words and story line are mine
It was Late September of 2014, Zay Babineaux just re-entered Lucas' life and started his time here and John Quincy Adams Middle School and told the whole class that Lucas was expelled back in Texas for fighting. Riley decides to figure out why Lucas kept it a secret from her. What was this new side of Lucas that was hidden from her, will this allow their relationship to grow? Or will it burn to the ground?
As the four friends made their way to Topanga's after school, Riley was still a little on edge after finding out about Lucas' not so perfect past.
"Hey Lucas, can I talk to you in private for a moment?" Riley asked sounding concerned and nervous about what she was getting herself into playing with her hands.
"Sure!" Lucas responded as they both got up from their seats and went to the alley near the café.
Riley was still a little hesitant about asking Lucas again about his past and hoping things he did weren't as bad as she hoped but she needed to know if the Lucas that was walking beside her was still the same boy she kissed on their first date on the Subway.
"So…What's going on Riley?" Lucas asked throwing his arms beside himself.
"Remember how Zay said you were thrown out of school?" Riley said biting her lip.
"Riley, listen I know now I made a mistake when I was back in Texas, But Zay sometimes got me into those situations by running his mouth and getting himself into a mess and I gotta be the one to bail him out!" Lucas responded raising his voice at Riley knowing what she was gonna ask.
Riley's heart began to race knowing Lucas was getting agitated, she knew that this is a touchy subject for him after witnessing Lucas almost getting into a fight at school.
"..I'm sorry I know I shouldn't raise my voice at you. What do you wanna ask me?" Lucas said backing off and leaned against the brick wall opposite of Riley and the café.
"Lucas…Why do you choose to fight?" Riley asked Lucas quietly.
Lucas was silent, for a few seconds…
"Couldn't have you just talked it out with whoever was giving Zay a bad time at school?" Riley asked again.
"Look Riley, whenever you are around some pretty bad folks, you gotta know how to protect yourself, and the people you care for! It's all out of defense! What I did for Zay is the exact same I'd do for you, Maya, and Farkle! I understood why I got expelled and I'm sorry, but that's the past and I can't change it…I'm here now with you and now when I feel someone special is slipping through my fingers, the sins of my past are coming back to haunt me!" Lucas said answered Riley slowly walking towards her stopping at an appropriate distance.
"Hey guys check this out!" A boy sitting on the curb called out to his friends watching a video on his phone.
"What's this" Another boy asked as they were watching a video of a fight.
Lucas and Riley looked into each other's eyes and Lucas felt he needed to investigate what the video is with Riley following not far behind him.
In the video were two boys in a school yard fighting, Lucas went closer to get a better view of the video….It was him fighting. Lucas's eyes opened wide and opened his mouth over the shock of the video being on the internet of him in a fight.
"Riley we have to go!" Lucas said taking Riley's hand trying to get back to the café with the others so that she won't watch the video.
"No I wanna see this Lucas!" Riley said shaking off Lucas' grip
Riley watched with the boys and observed the video and too was also shocked that it was Lucas in the video. What she saw changed her image of Lucas forever, Lucas was fighting a bigger kid and both had their fists clinched ready to fight already in a fighting stance, Lucas was the first one to strike, and made the bigger boy look like a fool as he threw 4 punches all in succession landing on his foe's jaw and chin. After Lucas' opponent fell, Lucas finished the fight by mounting him and throwing more punches until the teacher came in to get Lucas off his defeated rival!
Riley was shocked, she turned to Lucas now knowing what to feel and began to run away from him.
"RILEY WAIT!" Lucas yelled trying to call Riley back.
She was gone, Lucas felt so much pain in his heart knowing someone he deeply cared for is almost out of his life for good, and he walked over to the boy with the phone, took it and threw the phone into the brick wall destroying it out of rage!
"Hey! What was that for?!" The boy angrily yelled to Lucas.
"Thank to you! Someone who's really important to me just locked me out of their life! And I need to get her back!" Lucas proclaimed.
Riley ran back to the café with to get her belongings and went back to her apartment after saying her goodbyes to Maya and Farkle. A minute passed and Lucas arrived back at the café where the first ones to see him, were Maya and Farkle… Lucas was greeted as if he was being questioned by the Police back in Texas, he knew he was in trouble.
"What did you do this time Ranger Rick?" Maya glared at Lucas sounding unimpressed by Lucas' timing.
"Ya Lucas, this isn't like Riley to just run out of here, she enjoys being here with us." Farkle asked.
Lucas sat down with guilt feeling the heat of Maya and Farkle. He questioned himself to tell them the truth but knew he had to.
"Riley saw a video of me fighting when I was back in Texas." Lucas answered putting his head down looking at his knees in shame, ready to hear what's next.
"She what?! Lucas…You need to fix this! You're very important to Riley you know that?" Maya said in shock.
"I know, but I just can't hide it anymore! She knows what she saw and she saw me beating up a guy!" Luas shouted in retaliation to Maya.
"I don't know how you're gonna do this but you owe it to Riley to tell her what happened and what you've been doing to help change who you are since the fight whenever it was!" Farkle chimed in supporting Maya as usual.
"Ya, I think I need to pay her a visit tonight…" Lucas said already starting to formulate in his mind what to say to a girl he not only cares for, but loves.
Lucas left the café, shortly after same with Farkle and Maya.
A few hours have passed since y discovered the video and could not stop watching out in disbelief that Lucas was like that sort of person. Is the Lucas she knows just a mirage or the real deal? After watching the video for the 10th time since she got home. She gets a text message, she reached over to her phone to look at another text from Maya likely gonna ask if she could sleep over tomorrow. She was wrong…
Riley's phone (Riley's POV)
Lucas Friar: Hey Riley, I need to talk to you, can we talk tonight?
I wonder what he wants to talk about this time…
Me: Ya ok sure, where though?
Lucas Friar: I'll come over, there's something I wanna show you…
This isn't like Lucas at all, What is he planning after all we've been through today.
Me: Ok fine, I'll be ready in 20 minutes.
Lucas Friar: I'll see you then!
Third Person View
Just after Cory came back from being the detention monitor, Riley greeted him with a hug and immediately asked, "Hey Dad, Lucas wants to talk to me…he'll be over in a few minutes, can you please not embarrass me!" Riley demanded from her father folding her hands begging her father knowing how he behaves when Lucas and Riley are together.
"What did you do?!" Cory yelled at Riley.
"Daddy relax, I didn't do anything he just wants to talk." Riley explained attempting to calm down her father. Just seconds after Cory was able to calm down the buzzer sounded.
"It's Lucas!" Lucas said into the speaker box.
"Come on up!" Riley replied allowing him to enter.
"Riley, I don't like the looks of this! Why would he come here alone?" Cory wondered as he followed Riley as she grabbed a light jacket.
"I guess we'll have to wait and see huh Dad?" Riley answer putting on her jacket waiting for Lucas.
Lucas entered the apartment with a jean jacket, black jeans, a blue t-shirt and a gym bag slung over his right shoulder. Ready to take Riley out for their conversation.
"Hey Lucas!" Riley greeted Lucas as she walked up to him.
"Hey back City Girl!" Lucas responded giving her a hug.
"Lucas, where are you taking Riley tonight?" Topanga said as she walked beside Cory crossing her arms wondering what is happening.
"There's something I need to show Riley, it is my answer to everything I kept hidden from her and didn't want anyone to see." Lucas said as he looked into Riley's eyes with a grin on his face.
"Ok but you have her home by 9:30 you hear me!" Cory said pointing his finger to Lucas.
"No worries sir! 9:30 sharp and not a second more!" Lucas answered as he took Riley's hand as they exited the apartment together.
