Hi guys. Welcome back to the 10th Chapter of Senior Year. I noticed something about my writing style. I can't transition correctly, and my chapters go by way too fast! I'm sorry for that. I dont add enough information and writing because I'm always getting right to the point with dialouge, but I'm going to try to get better at this. In this chapter we find out who Lucas likes, and how Lucas family life is. This is not the endgame to anyone though, you just have to read more chapters to find out whos the perfect couple. Things are going to get crazy. I also wanna warn like I do every chapter that my spelling and grammar is not the best! Thank you. Review, Fav, and Follow.

Author: THIS IS A JOSHAYA/RUCAS FANFICTION, IT MAY CONTAIN OTHER SHIPS AT FIRST BUT IN THE END IT WILL BE JOSHAYA AND RUCAS AS ENDGAME.

It's been a week since Riley's slumber party. Today she was asking Lucas how he felt about Maya. She hoped Lucas would give Maya a chance. From the looks of it, it seemed like Lucas wasn't interested. He didn't give her the looks Maya gave him back, and that hurt Maya but Riley didn't think that meant anything. She thinks that he wasn't paying that kind of attention to her because he didn't know her that well. The only people he was really close with was Zay because they were best friends in the past, and Riley because Lucas opens up to Riley, and they text a lot. Other than that Lucas doesn't know much about Maya, and Maya doesn't know much about Lucas.

Riley's Pov

It was after school, and I was waiting for Lucas in the back of the school parking lot. We were supposed to be going to this Texas restaurant downtown. I heard they had good burgers, and that it was a great place if you were into cowboys, and bulls. They also had a really cool theme there. You had to dress up like a cowboy/cowgirl to get in, and I thought that was pretty cool, but the thing was he wasn't at school today. At first I thought he was late or he was just ditching, but he never showed up to any of the classes. He also did not reply to any of our messages. I was worried about him, but I figured his phone had just died, or he wasn't feeling well. I hope that was all.

Since we finally finished all of our tests, we didn't have a lot of homework, and this week is a free week, so I figured after me and Lucas finish hanging out, I invited Farkle over to my place since my parents weren't going to be home. My mom had to leave somewhere for a big case, and my dad and Auggie went to my grandparents house again. Lucas said he couldn't hang out the whole night so Farkle's comin over to have our first time. Can you believe it? He finally said yes.

"Waiting for Huckleberry?" Maya asked walking up to me.

"Yeah, and I thought you were gone already,"

"Nah, my teacher held me back. He wanted to talk to me about my grades. So stupid."

"Oh come on Maya. You're a senior. If you mess up your grades this year, you won't be able to get into the college you want, you probably won't even get to graduate."

"Ugh I'm tired of everyone saying that." She groaned.

"Because it's true Maya." I told her.

"But everything is so stupid. They give us 400 pages books every fucking week. How the hell are we supposed to read that book, maintain a social life, do other homework, and exercise daily."

"Um honey no those are the wrong excuses you are using. Maybe if you would stop trying to get high every day you would be able to do your homework." I told her.

"Ugh shut up." She laughed.

I looked at my phone.

4:00pm

"We got out 30 minutes ago, and Lucas is still not here." I groaned.

"Did you try calling him?"

"Yes everyone did, he's not answering."

"Just go to his house, and ask where he is." She said.

"Do you think your mom can get me a ride?" I asked.

"Only if you can remember what you're supposed to ask him." She said.

"Omg Yes Maya, I remember Im supposed to ask him if you're his type. I understand."

"Then sure she can give you a ride."

At Lucas's House

Lucas had a nice house. He looked pretty rich to me. He had 4 cars in the driveway. One was Lucas's car, and the other three was a jeep, a audi, and a ferrari. Some cool ass cars. His house was beautiful too. I thought my house was pretty good looking, but this was something else. His house had the most beautiful design, and he had a huge garden in the front. Everything was perfect. He must had a really nice family. I walked up to the modern door, and rung the doorbell.

A little girl answered the door, and she looked like she was crying. I didn't know he had siblings.

"Hi, um are you Lucas's little sister?"

She nodded. I heard a lot of yelling in the background. One of them was Lucas, and the other was another man, and then I heard a woman screaming stop. I hope Lucas wasn't up to his old habits, he used to like fighting, and he said he changed. But this sounded pretty serious to me.

"Is he okay?" I asked in a worried tone.

She shook her head.

"Can I come in?" I asked.

She shook her head again, "Daddy says no one can come in."

I wasn't a disrespectful person, but if I had to disobey someone in order to see if everything is okay then I will, something wasn't right. There was so much yelling and so much loud thumps. This had to be a fight between Lucas, and someone and I had to stop my friend from getting in trouble.

"I'm sorry, but I don't care what your father says. I have to help your brother." I said walking into their house.

The first thing I saw was a woman in a corner, Lucas on the ground, and a man had him in a choke hold. He had blood all over his face.

"JOHN STOP YOU'RE GONNA KILL MY SON." the woman screamed.

I rushed over to the man and pushed him off of Lucas.

I was going to go help up Lucas, but I felt a hard push and in an instant I was on the ground.

"And who the hell are you." He spit at me.

"D-don't touch h-h-er" Lucas stuttered trying to speak.

"Oh I remember your face. He showed us a picture of you. You must be Riley .Lucas's little play girlfriend. He won't shut up about your ass. Riley this. Riley that. Rileys so beautiful. Rileys so nice. I like her a lot blah blah blah." He mocked Lucas.

I had no idea who this man was, I really hope it wasn't his dad.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Im his fucing father and this is my fucking house. LEAVE,"

"I'm not leaving until you leave Lucas alone."

"Please just leave." The mother said.

This was the most saddest shit I've ever seen. Seeing his mother not even standing up for her son. Seeing his dad trying to kill him. Seeing his little sister scared for her life too. I wasn't letting Lucas stay here. There was no way I was letting Lucas stay here.

"Why aren't you standing up for your own son?"

"Lucas is the one who started it. He needs to behave. He has no respect for his dad."

"Thank you honey." The dad said with a smirk.

Lucas looked so hurt. So weak.

"So that means you let him beat up your son?"

She fell silent.

Exactly

I walked over to Lucas to go and help him up. He needed to go to the hospital. He wasn't okay.

"Don't come back in my house anymore Lucas. Youre not allowed here."

"Dont worry Im sure he doesn't want to be."

He laughed.

"Look at you trying to be a helper for your troubled boyfriend. Where is he going to stay?"

My mom would be more than welcomed to let Lucas stay with us, and even if she didn't she wouldn't have a choice. He will never come back here again. I care for him way too much to let that happen.

"How about you mind your damn business and leave us alone."

I helped him walk out the house. When I got out the door I pulled my phone out and called the ambulance. I was thinking about calling the group but I know it wouldn't be good for Lucas to have all the company in a position like this. So I just called my parents. It was only gonna be us staying at the hospital with him. I didn't want anyone else.
