Disclaimer: I don't own Girl Meets World

Riley and Lucas headed down the sidewalk after another fun filled evening. Lucas had taken her to a romantic dinner, and then to a play Riley had wanted to see for a while. As they continued on down the side of the street, Riley kept on praising on how well the show was done. Lucas couldn't help but smile as he watched her carry on about the performance; she looked so cute the way her face seemed to light up. He would do anything to make her happy.

"…I mean, no one else can top what they did tonight! I wish I could go see it again," she continued.

Lucas smiled as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Well, maybe we can do something about that."

The two of the stopped on the street corner and waited for the light to change. Despite the little traffic in the area, at the moment, anything could come through within a matter of moments.

Riley's eyes brightened. "Really? You'd do that for me?"

Lucas chuckled as he nodded. "Of course. I'd do anything for you. Next weekend sound good to you?"

She nodded as the light changed. "Yes! Oh my gosh, I can't wait now!"

"Well, you're going to have to," he teased.

As they headed into the crosswalk, Riley continued to ramble about the show. Lucas continued to listen to how cute she sounded, but the screeching of tires reached his ears. He looked up and was met with the headlights of a car that had run a red light. And it was coming right for them.

He hesitated only for a second, but once the 'deer in the headlights' feeling fleeted, he felt his body take action. "Riley! Look out!" Lucas shouted as he shoved them both out of the way.

The car horn blared as they both met the asphalt, and it kept on going, not even bothering to stop to see if they were okay.

Pain shot through Lucas' side as he landed on the other side of the road. He let out his breath as his heart continued to pound in his chest. That was all far too close for his comfort, but majority of the time you don't get a say in these types of things. Probably a drunk driver, he concluded.

"Are you okay, Riley?"

No response.

Lucas raised an eyebrow and propped himself on his throbbing arm. "Riley?" he repeated as he turned her over onto her side and brushed her hair out of her face. She was out cold. Fear gripped Lucas' heart as he put his hand underneath her head to prop her up, but his hand was greeted by something warm and sticky. He looked down at the ground and saw a pool of her blood spreading through the dirt.

"No… no, no, no!" he muttered as he pulled out his phone to dial 911 with his clean hand. Once the ambulance arrived a few minutes later and the paramedics brought Riley inside, he placed another call. For him, it seemed like it took forever for anyone to pick up on the other end, especially with his heart beating in his ears.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Matthews?" he asked in a shaky voice. "It's Lucas."

"Lucas? Is everything okay?"

"Uh, well… no. Riley's been in an accident."

OoOoO

Lucas sat in the waiting room, waiting impatiently for any news on Riley. A few moments later, Cory, Topanga, and Maya came through the hospital doors and approached him.

"Any news yet?" Topanga asked.

Lucas shook his head. "No… nothing yet. I'm just really sorry about what happened."

"Don't be," Cory replied. "If you weren't there, who knows what could have happened. Things could be a lot worse right now."

"Agreed," Maya added, hoping to help settle his nerves a bit.

After a few more minutes, one of the doctors came out. "Riley Matthew's family?"

Cory raised his hand. "Right here."

He approached the group and smiled. "Hi, I'm Doctor Adams, it's a pleasure to meet you all."

"Likewise," Cory agreed, "so how's Riley doing?"

"She's doing pretty well. She has a mild concussion and some stiches to close the gash in the back of her head, but she should be fine. We'll know for sure once she regains consciousness and we run a few more tests."

A collective sigh came over the group. It was such a relief for everyone to hear, especially Lucas.

"Can we see her?" Maya asked.

Dr. Adams smiled. "I don't see why not. Come with me."

Everyone followed the young doctor down the hall. "Her room is right here. However, I must ask you to keep your visit short. We still have some –"

An ear piercing scream shot through the air and interrupted the doctor… and it was coming from inside Riley's room.

Everyone burst inside to see Riley in her bed, wide eyed and tears streaming down her face as if she was in shock. Lucas rushed over to her side and took ahold of her hand, hoping to comfort her some.

"Riley… Riley! It's okay, I'm here. Look at me; everything's going to be fine," he reassured.

But she shook her head. "I can't! I can't see!"

OoOoO

Riley's family waited by the door, hoping for any sort of news. Lucas had slumped to the floor, and Maya was kneeling near him.

"You okay?" she asked.

Lucas shook his head. "No… I just want everything to work out. I want Riley to be okay."

"She will be. Everything will work out, okay?"

"I know… I just feel partially responsible."

Maya shook her head. "Don't do that to yourself. You know that if you weren't there, all of this would be a lot worse."

Before Lucas could respond, the door to Riley's room opened and Dr. Adams stepped out. Lucas and Maya stood up and waited with baited breath.

"There looks as if there's some sort of pressure on her optic nerve, causing her blindness. There's nothing that I can do… all we can do is wait to see if it corrects itself. But, there is a chance that her condition may not improve."
