Hello and welcome to my fanfic! I know I have a slight history of not updating, but trust me, I've gotten SO-HOOOO much better. Even the angry mob that follows me around for leaving cliffies is not quite so upset w/ me. Anyways, I was listening to one of the songs that comes later, and I thought "that's SO my character n Ri" and I just kinda came up w/ this story based on a whole bunch of songs. So enjoy my very first NT story! Riley, Ben, n Abby all belong to Disney/ Jerry, song to Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, blah, blah, all the stuff I'm required to say. Only thing that belongs to me is the concept and the character Lysa. So enjoy!

When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face
I can't replace
Riley looked into his girlfriend's face. She smiled that special smile that was only for him, and he felt himself smiling too. He pulled her close and place his head on top of hers, taking in her smell (Warm Vanilla Sugar), and just enjoyed holding her.
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold
And breaks through my soul
And I know, I'll find deep inside me
I can be the one
As he held her in his arms, he couldn't help but remember everything that had ever happened to the both of them. His abusive father, her addicted mother, but through it all, they had each other, and that was all they needed.
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
He pulled her down to sit on the blanket, laughing as she fell on top of him. Their laughter subsided, and she curled up next to him as they watched the sunset. He unconsciously ran his fingers through her hair, remembering when they first met at the beginning of high school. There were a lot of rough patches, and she came close to going over the edge, but he saved her life. And now they've graduated, and have a small apartment by MIT. It was perfect. He looked down at her face, love practically exploding from his soul. He would die for her in a heartbeat.
Seasons are changing and waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
He leaned against the tree they had set up their blanket under and smiled. They still had 3 months before college started, and he was going to make the most of it. They stared at the darkening sky, when Lys suddenly gasped and sat up. "What is it, babe?" he asked her. She turned to him, a huge grin on her face, as she said, "Look, Ri-kun, a shooting star!" He sat up with her, and saw what she was pointing at. A falling star. He grabbed her chin and turned her face towards his. He then whispered, "Make a wish, hun." As he saw her wish upon a star, he looked to the sky and thought, 'Please let this last forever.'
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
3 months had passed. Everything was going great. They both had steady jobs, with the two of them going to MIT. Riley couldn't be happier. His life was going perfectly.
'Cause you're my, you're my, my
My true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
'Cause I'm here for you
Please don't walk away
And please tell me you'll stay, stay
But all was not to be bliss. Riley was walking home one day, not being able to afford a car at that point, when he heard yelling from his apartment. He ran up to the third floor, when he saw something that made his blood run cold. There, in front of him, was his dad…hitting Lysa. His dad was screaming, "Where the hell is that little bastard?!" while Lysa was crying out, "I don't know! I swear, I don't know!" Riley rushed up to his dad and hit him square in the face. A fight ensued, with Lysa in the background crying, till Riley finally had his father pinned down. "What the hell do you want?!" Riley screamed. His dad squirmed as he said, "You owe me money you little punk! I want my money, and I want it now!" Riley glared at him, and calmly told Lysa to call security. He then spat in his father's face, "You need help." Security came and picked him, but after the incident, Riley and Lysa could barely look at each other. They went to bed silent. Riley felt so guilty, and he wouldn't be surprised if Lysa left him. He just prayed she wouldn't.
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray
For weeks after the incident with Riley's dad, Riley and Lysa could barely look at each other or talk to each other. Riley's life was looking bleaker as the days went by. He couldn't last much longer like that. But he knew as long as Lysa was still there, he wouldn't hurt as much. But then, miraculously, she talked to him. She laughed with him. He felt great again. Before they went to bed, he kissed her, and whispered, "I missed you." She grinned and said, "Glad to know you lasted." He rolled his eyes, and then went to sleep.
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Ok, so the whole thing with Ri's dad sucked, but I kind of came up with that like, while I
was writing, because the rest of the song worked. I dunno, when I was thinking bout it in
my head, but that's cuz I kind of saw it for past kind of deal, n then for my original story,
NT3: Past memories. So ya. Most of the song works for this thing though. Just bear
with me. The rest of the story will be better, I promise. Review, please!
