So, I forgot to put an AN at the end of Chapter 1! I'm so sorry guys. I was watching Cole LaBrant's vines and writing at the same time, so I was a little distracted... but this chapter is my favorite out of the five chapters I've written. I hope this one is your favorite as well! I don't know what to do on Vengeance on an Innocent Soul, but since this idea popped in my head, I wrote it down ASAP! I know this is getting long, so let's get on with the story.
Disclaimer: I used to own Girl Meets World, but then I woke up sadly...
Now, Riley wasn't happy, and it was all my fault. She took one look at me and walked towards her room. I sighed slowly, knowing that she was broken hearted. All I could say is that is was all my fault that this happened to her. I slowly walked to my bedroom and passed Riley's in doing so. I heard voices on the other side of the door. Being curious, I pressed my ear to the door.
Mom, please! Come get me!
I guess she had her mom on speaker, because I could hear her mom's voice.
Riley, you're in Texas! Why do you want to leave so early! You got there this morning!
I could hear Riley sniffle as she let out a frustrated sigh.
You wouldn't understand, Mom! I don't think I want to be here right now.
Is it because of Lucas? Riley, he's just a boy. Ignore him! You don't have to talk to him, just talk to Mrs. Friar. You'll be okay until next week when you come home. If things aren't looking good by the weekend, then I'll fly out and come get you.
Mom, yes, it's because of Lucas. How am I supposed to avoid him when we are in the same house?! Tell me, mom, why can't things be normal between us?
He dated your best friend behind your back! You can't forgive him that easily...
I want to forgive him, but he literally took my heart out of my chest and stomped on it with his boots. Then, it's like he threw it against a brick wall repeatedly. If I don't leave now, I don't think I'll be the same again.
Riley, just go to sleep. Think about this. I love you, but Auggie's calling for me. Bye.
Love you. Bye
That was the end of their conversation. Now, I feel really bad. To be fair, I was trying to see if I actually had feelings for Maya, but I didn't, so that's why I invited Riley on this trip. I guess I must've knocked on the door, because I heard Riley answer through the door.
"Who is it?" I heard her say. I sighed before speaking up.
"It's Lucas," I said as I wrung my hands together. What I heard next was heart-wrenching.
"Go away, player, because whatever game you forced me to play, I quit!" She yelled. I unlocked the door with the key on top of the door frame.
"Riley, you have to forgive me," I pleaded as I walked in. She gaped her mouth when I entered the room.
"GET OUT! Don't you understand I want to be left alone?" She yelled at me. I flinched a little.
"Look, Riley, hear me out. If you still want to go to New York afterwards, I'll drive you to the airport myself," I told her honestly. Her expression softened as she motioned to the spot beside her.
"How did you know I was planning on going back to New York?" She asked me with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"I overheard your conversation with your mom," I told her. She raised her eyebrows in shock.
"YOU EAVESDROPPED ON MY CONVERSATION?!" She yelled at me. Gosh, I really did break the once happy Riley Matthews.
"You were right beside my bedroom, so when I was walking by, I heard you talking to your mom," I said, defending myself.
"First, you date my best friend. Second, you tell me that you broke up with Maya before I even knew you two were going out. Now, you're eavesdropping on my conversations? Unbelieveable," she said as she threw her hands in the air.
"Riley, I still like you! I was dumb to date Maya, but I was trying to see if I actually had feelings for her, which I don't anymore. I like you, no, I REALLY like you, Riley. I miss you. I miss us!" I told her as my voice cracked even more. Man, was this stuff hard.
"You could've at least told me that you were starting to have feelings for my best friend, Lucas? What happened to our 'unofficial thing'? What happened to us? We used to like each other, but now we're at war," she claimed, her voice cracking as well. I guess I knew how she felt, because I was starting to cry.
"Riley, I made the stupid mistake of dating Maya, but I'm just a young teenage boy trying to figure out his feelings! I'm in love with YOU, Riley, not Maya," I said, but I didn't mean to say that last part out loud.
"Y-You're in love with m-me?" Riley questioned as she stood up. She ran a hand through her hair frustratingly as she paced the room.
"That's what I said, and I mean it Riley," I said as I stood up. I grabbed her arms and stopped her from pacing even more.
"I-I'm sorry. I thought you had feelings for Maya-," she started to say but I cut her off and I kissed her. How I missed the feel of her soft lips against mine. I didn't want to let go, and I wasn't going to unless she did. After about three seconds, we pulled apart.
"Riley, I would never intentionally hurt you, and it was stupid of me to date Maya," I said. "After all, she was the one who helped build this relationship." I smirked.
"Yeah, and she's also the one that ruined it, but it's all better now," she said. I smiled as I pulled her in for a hug.
"I missed this Riley. I'm glad you're back," I said as I kissed the top of her head. I felt her smile into my chest.
"I was never gone," she said as she looked up at me. I laughed a little.
"You used to be a Gloomy Gus when all of that drama started," I said. She furrowed her eyebrows at me.
"Don't bring that up," she said. "Let's just hold onto this moment while we still can," Riley told me. Wow, she really had changed.
"Where were we before all of this happened?" I asked smirking. She laughed and looked down. Then, she looked back up and stared into my emerald green eyes.
"I don't know. Why don't you remind me," she suggested. I immediately obliged as I leaned down and kissed her. I picked her up and allowed her to wrap her legs around my waist. This was far enough for us. Even though we were fourteen and fifteen, we were still too young to make out. So, we didn't. Soon, she pulled away and I put her back down.
"Do you wanna maybe go to my room and watch netflix with me?" I asked her. She widened her eyes, and I immediately realized what I said. "Not like the whole Netflix and chill thing. Let's just go to the living room with my mom and watch it." I quickly corrected myself.
"Nah, I need to go to sleep. Goodnight Lucas," She said as she yawned. She kissed me on the cheek and laid down on the tribal print bed spread we had and stretched out. I laughed at her.
"Hey, Riles?" I asked her. She sat up in bed and looked at me.
"Yeah, Lucas?" She asked me. I was about to tell her how I felt.
"Please don't go back to New York before I leave," I begged her. She deflated a little.
"I'll have to think about that, Lucas," she said. I was a little angry now.
"Riley, what about the things we just said!? I don't want you back in New York without me. I don't want Gardner to lay his hands on you when I'm not there," I said with a hint of frustration in my voice.
"First off, it's Charlie. Second, I don't like him in that way. Third, Maya's there, and she wouldn't let him touch me," she said. I was angry now.
"WHAT IF HE DID RILEY? What if he laid his filthy hands on you and no one was there to protect you, huh!? What would you do!" I yelled at her. I saw the pained look on her face. Now, she was about to cry.
"Get out," she whispered, her voice cracking.
"Riley, I'm-."
"Get..out..now," she said as she took deep breaths between each word. I knew I screwed up when I yelled at her.
"Okay, sweet dreams?" I said in a questioning tone.
"I'll see you in the morning when you drive me to the airport," Riley spit out. I can't believe it. She was really going back to New York, and it's all my fault.
Okay, I may write more than five chapters, but I'm not sure. The next chapter is one of my favorites too, so yay! I hope you guys liked this!
