Hello my lovelies!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I was busy with family stuff so let's just get to it.

When Riley got out of the hospital she was greeted by family and friends and many many hugs. After her parents, Shawn was the first one to hug her. It made sense because they were incredibly close and Shawn was her favorite uncle. Then Eric hugged her. It was a bone-crushing hug and one that even though was covered with smiles and laughs and jokes, the intenseness of it was undeniable. She knew that he was genuinely worried. The same went for her grandparents and of course Maya and Farkle.

The weird thing was, Lucas was nowhere to be found. Lucas, her boyfriend, was nowhere to be seen and that scared Riley. Her heart started to race a bit before she saw him round a corner. Only then, did she start to relax.

Lucas looked up to see Riley finally, finally, out of her hospital room. It was one of the best feelings in the world to him. She looked panicked for a second before spotting him and visibly relaxing. He gave her a calm smile even though on the inside, his heart was pounding with too much force. He noticed that her family was talking to her but she wasn't listening and they didn't notice until she started to run.

Riley ran towards Lucas with all her might. She pushed pass her grandparents and uncles and parents until she had a direct path to Lucas. He saw her running and braced himself for her power. She was small but so strong it was astonishing. When Riley was close enough she launched herself into his arms. He caught her and hugged her with all his might.

"Don't ever do that to me again," he whispered raspy in her ear. His throat was dry and his eyes were empty from the lack of tears. "I can't lose you. I thought that I might."

Riley could feel her heart break at the sound of his words.

"You won't lose me. I'm too hard to get rid of," Riley laughed. Lucas gave out a dry laugh and put Riley down on the ground. He cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead before giving her another hug,

Back by the waiting room, Cory and his family watched on as Riley and Lucas embraced as if they would disappear and lose each other.

"They remind me of you and Topanga," Eric pointed out. Everyone nodded in agreement as they watched Riley and Lucas,

Cory shook his head. "I know. It scares me."

Alan and Amy laughed and Amy walked over and gave him a pat on his back. "That's how I felt. It's sad but the way they light up is unforgettable." Amy gave Cory a kiss on his head. "And we all know you don't hate Lucas as much as you let on."

Everyone laughed at that statement. Cory didn't comment but he knew that he didn't actually hate Lucas.

Eventually, Riley and Lucas made their way back over to the group and they all made it out of hospital eventually back into the city and back to the Matthew's house.

Maya and Farkle started to notice little things between Riley and Lucas. Like how Lucas would never stand to far away from Riley, never completely taking his eyes off of her. They were more aware of how things could go from safe to dangerous in just seconds. But Farkle and Maya couldn't argue. They were scared for Riley's well-being even if they didn't explicitly state it.

After the fiasco of Riley's well-being was over, the three students returned back to John Quincy Adams where the news of Riley's panic attacks were being spread like wildfire. But people were being surprisingly polite about it. Even Missy. Which was a shock to everyone.

The day Riley got back, she was getting her books when she crashed into Missy sending her books all over the floor. Riley recoiled expecting Missy to start lashing out harsh words but was surprised to find Missy smiling and even helping Riley with her own. Even with Riley's innocent mind, she knew Missy's niceness wouldn't last forever so Riley smiled and went on with her day. She acknowledged the odd looks from teachers and concerned looks from her peers, but never got annoyed.

This however slightly annoyed Maya. While Riley got kind, gentle, looks, Maya got glares and daggers thrown her way. I mean Riley had verbally attacked Maya too, right? And Maya had apologized. But I guess they didn't know that did they?

"Hey," Farkle nudged. Maya jerked out of her thoughts and looked at him. "Don't let them get to you. They don't know the whole story. Just what they saw."

"I know but," Maya started before Farkle cut her off.

"No. Maya, we both know that this should've blown over by now and it hasn't so"

"So what? I've gotten these looks my whole life. Another week won't hurt," Maya shrugged.

Farkle rolled his eyes. Maya was so freaking stubborn sometimes that even Farkle wanted to slap her out of her pride. However, his own conscience interfered with that thought. Instead he just rolled his eyes and disagreed with her mentally.

Meanwhile, Lucas and Riley had already skipped the chaos that was school. They had left as soon as the bell rang, not bothering to pack up. They didn't have homework anyway.

People say that New York City is the city that never sleeps. But Riley noticed that right after school before all the kids got out, New York City was calm. That was if you considered less crowded sidewalks, no honking but a mild amount of shouting calm.

Lucas and Riley walked to her apartment together, stopping on the way to get some hot dogs in Central Park. When they got home, no one was there except her mom who had just gotten home from a case.

"Hi mom," Riley greeted while dropping her bag on the ground and flopping on the couch.

Lucas waved and picked up her backpack and hanging it up along with her coat and his stuff. Topanga gave him a small smile and laughed at his actions.

"You know you didn't have to pick up after me. You're not exactly my mom," Riley pointed out sassily. She was taking up most of the couch so Lucas easily lifted her up bridal-style and sat down so that she was now lying on his lap.

"Riley, you leave a trail of mess anywhere you go. If I don't pick up after you, who will?"

Riley blushed and shrugged. "My mom?"

Topanga snorted catching the attention of both Lucas and Riley. "Riley if I can't take care of you one day who will?"

"Lucas," She answered simply. Lucas and Topanga shared a look but shrugged it off easily.

"Well," Lucas started carefully. "What if we both can't take care of you?"

Wrong question.

Riley's face went pale a bit. "Why-um-why wouldn't you be there? Either of you."

Lucas suddenly felt really bad. "I just meant if you didn't have us. Like in a parallel universe," Lucas responded. He glanced at Topanga. She mouthed nice save and gave thumbs up.

"That's a world I wouldn't want to live in."

Topanga who was overseeing this moment took the time to step out. If she remembered correctly, this would be the point where they kissed and that was something intimate that she shouldn't witness.

Just as she predicted, Lucas softly kissed Riley on the lips before getting up and putting a movie in the DVD player. They both fell asleep before the movie even introduced the conflict and plot. Riley with her head in the crook of Lucas's neck and Lucas's head leaned up against hers using it as support.

Topanga found them like that 50 minutes later and snapped a picture before leaving to meet Mrs. Svorski at her bake shop. She texted Cory letting him know that Riley didn't break the rules and that she allowed them to be there by themselves and wrote a note to Riley letting her know where she was.

Riley woke up a little after, the movie had ended and she pulled a blanket over the both of them snuggling further into Lucas and the couch. Life was good.

Again, bad endings. Anyway, sorry for not updating. And I was getting so good too.

Love, ChevronStars
