I will upload Girl Meets the NBA/Draft Night I don't know what I' officially calling it yet so we'll see what happens. But for now, the end is near for this fanfic so here we go.
Disclaimer: For the final time (in this fanfic) I don't own Girl Meets World!
The first 20 minutes of the Championship game had begun St. Stephens not surprisingly sent the ball to Anthony who bulldozed his way through Trent scoring the first 2 points in the game in a matter of seconds. Zay and Lucas looked to each other knowing that this would be a long and rigorous game that could be decided in the final seconds. Zay went a few feet behind the three point line where Nate frees himself up and attempts to shoot from 25ft out but is met with tough opposition, Lucas then frees himself for an easy shot from the top of the free throw line making it and he ties the game at 2! Every possession was intense, each player making their moves decisively and everyone was highly focused for they know what is at stake.
With one minute to go in the first half, the John Adams Warriors had the chance to tie the game as Lucas attempted to drive past Anthony and another defender but Lucas was faced at the basket by Anthony as the big man blocked Lucas but Lucas kept the ball in his hand as he was in the air and was beginning to lose control of his body during the flight, gravity took over as Lucas was no longer vertical and now was horizontal as his back crashed to the hardwood floor! The back of his head bounced off the floor as Lucas held the back of his head in sheer pain! Coach Hardaway, Zay, and Anthony immediately tended to Lucas who was on the floor in unbelievable pain. "Lucas are you ok?" Coach Hardaway asked after he rushed to get to Lucas as he looked at the toughest member of the St. Stephens Direwolves who stuck with him to help Lucas. "Wow that hurt!" Lucas groaned in pain regaining consciousness. Riley and Vanessa were still standing as they could only watch and hope for the best if Lucas was alright. Riley was praying that he was ok as she closed her eyes in fear. "Are you seeing stars Lucas?" Anthony asked him feeling guilty.
"No no! Just a little rocked that's all." Lucas struggled to say.
"Ok, can you stand or walk?" Coach Hardaway asked as Lucas began to take back control of his arms and his other limbs still laying on the hardwood floor.
"Ya I can get up." Lucas answered as Coach Hardaway and Anthony helped the young 6'6 forward up to his feet as the audience gave Lucas a round of applause to see that he's ok. Lucas was helped off the court by Coach Hardaway and Zay. "Hey Lucas!" Anthony called over to the star athlete as he, Zay and, Coach Hardaway turned around to the big man.
"When you come back in the next half, you better come bring it! I want you at your best." Anthony challenged hoping to see the best Lucas Friar that the world could offer.
"I plan to. You keep bringing it ok?" Lucas happily accepted the challenge. Anthony gave him a thumbs up as Lucas left the game and was tended to by Coach Hardaway. Riley couldn't help it but she left her seat to check up on Lucas as she snuck behind the bench.
"Lucas are you ok?" Riley asked with her heart racing.
"Ya I should be fine." Lucas replied comforting his girlfriend as Riley sighed with relief.
"Good, now don't scare me like that ever again." Riley told Lucas.
Lucas could only look on as the buzzer that completed the first half of play. The score was 48-48. 20 minutes down, 20 more to go. The teams made their way to their locker rooms to recover and prepare for the next half, the first half went as best as it could in the minds of the coaches. The game is tied but Anthony is still having himself a great game scoring 18 points thus far. Zay has countered with 14 points and Lucas contributed 17 points to the cause.
"Alright guys, we've done a great job thus far but now, we need to close in on the fact that these final 20 minutes determines which team will walk out of here as champion. Lucas, you ok?" Coach O'Neal asks his go to player.
"Good, because I need you to really step up here. Last half guys, fate will play its hand and we need to seize the opportunity. Coach O'Neal tells his players.
"Guys another thing, win or lose, we are very proud of you all on the progress you all have made as individuals and as a team. There have been some setbacks but despite those, we are here today 20 minutes away from the title! Lucas, when you had your accident back in October and you were told that your basketball career was finished, you were down on your luck and I don't know how you did it, but you came back way earlier than expected, you were healthy, you rehabbed a lot and now you're back better than ever! Zay, when Lucas was out you stepped up to be the man, you saved our asses 3 times this year when Lucas was gone. Now look at you Syracuse University offered you a scholarship!" Coach Hardaway began to list all the success each member of the team as Lucas' mind was tuned out all he could focus on was the scholarships and needing to impress at least UCLA and Syracuse, once that was accomplished nothing else besides him and Riley didn't matter.
The final half was about to begin as Lucas was stretching out his body and getting warmed up and set for action as he did so he looked at the stands as usual to see the adorable face of Riley staring at him as she waved to say hello. He still couldn't believe Riley the woman of his dreams and the woman he plans to marry would still stay with him after everything that has happened, her choosing Charlie over him, Lucas tending to Riley after she was assaulted physically, emotionally, and sexually, Riley finding out she was pregnant, and the death of Riley's unborn child at the hands of Charlie, Dave, Wyatt, and now Billy. They've faced many hard times together and all of this was riding on the final half on how Lucas would finish his High School basketball career! One of the best in the state in his position, and is as consistent as any coach could as for. As the buzzer sounded Lucas got back in uniform and proceeded to the check in bench to check into the game as he took the floor. This was it 20 minutes to victory or defeat.
Nate inbounded the ball to Zay as the timer began to run, Lucas' mind was really in the game now all in knowing what he had was on the line. He could only think of the game and the future he wanted him and his princess to share together as he catches the ball on the right wing, jumps in the air shooting the ball and he watches it go into the net as the John Adams Warriors were now up by 2 as the score became 50-48! The next trip down the floor Anthony Campbell was met by both Trent and Lucas and was smothered by the two great players as Zay sneaks up on Anthony and steals the ball from him! Zay and Lucas rush down the floor sprinting to the other side, Zay was running left, Lucas running on the right. 2 on 1 play as Zay lobs the ball into the air as Lucas catches and slams the ball for another 2 points! 52-48.
The rest of the half was as crazy as it could get, St. Stephens would fight back and carry a 6 point lead into the final minute. Lucas, Anthony, and Zay were in foul trouble as they had 4 fouls each! If Lucas or Zay commits another foul, whoever commits the foul is out the game. John Adams has the ball, Yogi runs pass the half court line, the pressure in Madison Square Garden was at an all-time high! Yogi drives right where he runs into a double team, but Lucas presents himself open and Yogi gets out of the jam as Lucas was left wide open at the 3 point line on the right corner, he shoots, AND MAKES IT! 88-85 St. Stephens lead. The Direwolves point guard dribbles up court and immediately is met by fantastic defense by Yogi and Zay. The guard drives left but still double teamed. Anthony rushes over to help, the guard tries to pass it over the duo as a loud smack was heard around the arena from Zay's hand as he commits his final foul!
Riley and Vanessa in the stands were pissed off! Both of them irate at the referee about the call as they look on and watch Zay protest the call, "Look Riley, I need to go to the bathroom all of this bullshit makes me wanna go!" Vanessa told her new good friend storming off to the stairs trying to find the quickest bathroom.
"Hurry back! I hope you make it!" Riley tried to encourage watching Vanessa go. Little did she know she was being watched by Charlie and Billy who were a few rows back on the otherside of the section. The former Warriors made their way to Riley's section and made their way behind the empty seats behind her and sat down. Riley didn't know what was going on as she could only look on in frustration. She felt a hand print on her butt as someone smacked it!
"Hey watch it!" Riley said in disgust as she turned around only to see Charlie and Billy.
"Hey baby!" Charlie greeted grinning and Billy waving hello with a mean face on him meaning something bad was about to happen to Riley. Her face began to grow red as hate began to fill her as she threw a straight right to Charlie's jaw and he tries to go after Billy by throwing another punch but Billy's fast reflexes allowed him to catch her hand and sat her back down as he held her down by her wrists. Riley was starting to panic, she tried to call out for help but it was no good as nobody could hear her because it was too loud, Billy began to carry Riley to the back making their way up the stands to take her away.
On the floor, Lucas looked around looking for Riley but as he looked at where she was supposed to be sitting , she noticed her seat and Vanessa's seat were empty, he continued his search and sees her being taken away on Billy's back. "COACH CALL A TIME OUT NOW!" Lucas yelled as he went after Billy and Charlie. The buzzer sounded beginning to timeout as Lucas was racing up the stairs and made his way to the back.
"LUCAS! HELP!" Riley cried out. He grabbed Riley's hands and with all of his strength pulled her towards him as she flies into his arms knocking him down. Billy noticed Riley slip away from him and looked at Lucas who was making the rescue.
"Charlie! He's here!" Billy exclaimed starting to stomp on the down Lucas Friar. Lucas could only cover up while Charlie held Riley down getting behind her with his arms around her breasts taking control of her back.
"Let it go Riley! He's defenseless" Charlie whispered into Riley's ear trying to strike fear into her heart.
"Lucas please fight back!" Riley refused to lose faith in her boyfriend as he listened to her and grabbed the back of Billy's knee, dragged him down and placed him in an Ankle Lock!
"Charlie! Let Riley go or else I'll break his ankle!" Lucas threatened trying to strike a deal with him to release Riley.
"How bout this." Charlie smirked as he takes his right hand and punches Riley's jaw still having control of her body. True to his word, Lucas viciously cranked on Billy's right ankle and he broke it! After Billy was taken care of he ran towards Charlie.
"AHHH! Think about it Lucas, if you try anything, chances are you are gonna hit our poor slut over here." Charlie threatened and insulted Riley with his words.
"Lucas, please help me." Riley cried out hating Charlie even more as he tightened his grip on her breasts.
"Charlie I swear! You've done so much to hurt us but guess what you deserve what comes next." Lucas said biting down on his teeth as Riley leaned forward forcing Charlie to go with her. Lucas swung his right leg as extends his leg, Charlie was left in a vulnerable position and the speed of Lucas' leg and hips working together created a loud crack like a baseball bat hitting a ball and made contact with the side of Charlie's head! Charlie's body stiffens up and rolls over Riley knocked out cold. Riley jumped on him gaining full mount and began to punch him with everything she had for all the pain, trauma and, sleepless nights he caused her. After a few punches Charlie's once handsome face was now cut open violently.
"Riley that's enough!" Lucas told her as he pulled her off Charlie.
"DON'T MOVE!" A security guard yelled about 75ft away from the couple. They raised their hands saying they were defending themselves as two security guards made their way over to Charlie and Billy, pulled out handcuffs and arrested them.
"You two did good in defending yourselves." A security guard complimented the couple.
"Thanks." They said together.
"But how did you know what was going on?" Riley asked confused on how the security team made their way to them quickly.
"Look up there." The guard said motioning to a security camera not too far from them.
"Ohhh! Well thank God for security cameras." Riley shrugged not feeling sorry for anything that happened to her attackers.
"Ya and for this, they are likely going down for assault on your boyfriend over there and sexual assault on you." The security guard told them as they took away Billy and Charlie. Lucas turned Riley around as he stepped back leaning against the wall.
"So the worry is over huh?" Lucas asked her sounding relieved.
"Finally." Riley agreed sounding as if she was at peace.
"Wait! You still got a game to win! Go down there with your boys and I'll see you after the game." Riley said remembering the game wasn't over.
"Riley! Lucas! Are you guys ok?" Vanessa exclaimed.
"Ya we're fine." Lucas answered.
"Lucas get your ass back there!" Vanessa said to her boyfriend's best friend.
"Yes ma'am!" Lucas tipped his imaginary cowboy hat to her as he planted a quick kiss on Riley's lips and ran back down to the court.
"Everything ok?" Coach Hardaway asked.
"Ya, just had to deal with some business." Lucas answered covering up the truth.
"Ok, so we got 30 seconds to work with and we're down 3. We need a 3 to tie and a miracle to win. Think you can bail us out this time?" Coach O'Neal asked his star player.
"YES COACH!" Lucas answered pumped up.
"Lucas, you can do this man, it's your moment." Zay said supporting his best friend as Zay made his way back to the bench.
"Thanks buddy, I'll win this for us." Lucas said giving his best friend a bro hug.
Nate inbounded the ball to Yogi after St. Stephens didn't score on their last trip. Lucas was being played aggressively, he shakes his defender and runs left to find Yogi, Yogi passes it to Lucas on the right wing, who passes it back to Yogi trying to run the clock.
"Yogi, gimme the ball! I got a plan!" Lucas called to his point guard, Yogi nodded his head as he passes the ball to Lucas. 12 seconds to go, Lucas slows the game down realizing how close and tough his opponent was playing him, he dribbled and dribbled and waited as the clock came down to 5 seconds, he dribbles right, and quickly stops, pump fakes drawing the defender as Lucas threw up the ball from beyond the 3 point line. Lucas was fouled as he was smacked on his forearm, Lucas released the ball but not getting off a good shot, he released it with all that was left in his right hand and could now only watch the ball fly. Everyone held their breath as the ball sailed through the air, the ball hit the back of the rim causing the ball to bounce in the air, AND THE BALL DROPS INTO THE BASKET! THE BASKET IS GOOD! The game is now tied at 88 with 0.2 seconds remaining. The crowd erupted! When Lucas made his shot and now has a chance to seal the deal if he makes his free throw. Everyone went to their places Anthony was the closest to the basket since he was the center on the right side block closest to the basket. "One shot buddy." The referee tells Lucas as he passes him the ball. Everyone cheering for St. Stephens was going loud and doing anything to distract Lucas, he dribbles three times, takes the ball in his hands, gets into his shooting position, raises it above his shoulders as he released the ball and watched it fly. HE MADE THE SHOT! 89-88 John Adams lead with 0.2 seconds as St. Stephens calls their final timeout!
"LET'S GO!" Lucas yelled pumping up the John Adams faithful who were in attendance. They went back to their bench preparing for the final play. "LUCAS!" Riley called out to him. He looked towards her.
"I LOVE YOU BABY!" Riley yelled at the top of her lungs. He blew a kiss towards her as she placed her hands on her heart watching him smile at her that started everything on the subway 5 years earlier.
"Look guys, now they're desperate, they'll go to their best guy: Anthony. Trent and Lucas, team up on Anthony! Make sure he doesn't get the ball and if he does get it, don't foul and give him your best." Coach O'Neal ordered his players as the buzzer sounded. Yogi, Nate, Trent, Lucas and, Duncan made their way back to the floor. The St. Stephens player on the sidelines gets the ball. Trent and Lucas were double teaming brilliantly on Anthony, but was still able to break through as the pass was made! Anthony while in mid-air leans back for a fade away, missing it hitting the rim as the ball came too short as the buzzer sounded ending the game! The John Adams Warriors were 2019 New York State Senior Boys Basketball Chmpions! Celebrations broke out as the players rushed the court to celebrate as they first shook hands with the St. Stephens Direwolves. Lucas and Zay got to Anthony last and thanked each other for a great game.
"Hey Lucas, was that your girlfriend you were going after?" Anthony asked since he was close to the basket at the time Lucas rushed over to get Riley back.
"Ya she is." Lucas gladly answered.
"Well man she is really blessed to have a guy like you. I'll see you around in the NCAA." Anthony complimented his character.
"Thanks Anthony, great game." Lucas told him as all three players shared a bro hug.
"Lucas Friar?" A man called out to him.
"Yes." Lucas answered looking at the direction he heard the voice.
"I'm a scout with UCLA, we wanna offer you a scholarship to our school and believe you can be a vital asset to our team. We want you to come to California whenever you can to check us out." The scout told him as he offered Lucas a scholarship he had long been waiting for.
"Oh wow! That's awesome sir! If it's not any trouble can my girlfriend come as well? She wants to go into your school for drama." Lucas said telling the scout.
"Ya you can bring her along no problem." The scout said as he left his card with Lucas.
"Lucas Friar?" Another man called to him. He looked while Zay went to celebrate with Vanessa and brought her onto the court.
"I'm a scout with the Syracuse University Orange. You played a fantastic and smart game son." The scout complimented Lucas' performance.
"I couldn't do it without my teammates and my coaches sir." Lucas said honestly.
"Listen I know that UCLA just offered you a scholarship and I don't know who else has, but we too would like to be in the running to have you play for our school on a full scholarship." The scout told Lucas offering a scholarship to Lucas.
"I'd love to consider you guys. I just need some time to think about it and when I know where I want to play for the next 4 years, I'll let you know." Lucas answered.
"No worries! Now go celebrate with your teammates! Enjoy your night Mr. Frair." The scout said as he congratulated Lucas on the best game of his career. Lucas eventually brought Riley down to the court to celebrate as he lifted her up in the air, spun her around until Riley tripped brining Lucas down with her on center court. The two teenagers laughed at what happened as she held Lucas by his face and kissed him and the kiss turned into a make-out session as they were finally interrupted by Maya.
"About time you two weirdos done something wild." Maya said as she gently kicked Lucas interrupting their make-out session.
"Do you really have to ruin this moment?" Riley asked with her puppy dog eyes trying to let Maya leave them alone.
"Just make sure you have her back at home by 11 and nothing too wild if you know what I'm saying." The blonde beauty warned her best friend's boyfriend as they resumed making out. They continued to make out in the center of the court until Senator Eric Matthews got on the mic.
"Alright people can I have your attention please?" The Senator said as everyone stopped what they were doing, leaving Lucas and Riley to stand.
"So right here with me is the Championship trophy for this year's State Champions the John Adams Warriors!" The senator announced handing the golden trophy to Coach O'Neal shaking hands and passed it to his players as Lucas took Riley's hand and joined in the celebration.
"But wait, it's not over yet. Because now, I must award this fabulous golden MVP trophy to the best player of the game. With 31 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, plus the game winning shot. This year's Most Valuable Player is…Lucas Friar…RACHEL!" Senator Matthews announced as the crowd cheered yet wondered who Rachel was. He handed him his Golden Trophy as he celebrated with the guys and came together at center court to have photos taken of the team.
It was now 11pm, Lucas drove Riley home with his MVP trophy in the back along with his bag after his parents dropped it off at a nearby restaurant where the Friars and the Matthews celebrated. They were back at the Bay Window as they resumed making out and enjoying this moment. The moment was so heated that Lucas was in his black and red boxers while Riley was in her pink bra and panties. They were sweaty from rolling around and sharing a passion together as big as the world until… "Mr. Friar can you come down here for a second…Alone." Mr. Matthews called for Lucas. The couple broke away.
"Why does my daddy always to this to us?" Riley asked panting from the cardio workout she got from making out.
"Because he cares about us and doesn't want us to do anything too crazy." Lucas answered flirtatiously.
"You will have that moment baby. Now get dressed and see my father." Riley said knowing what he meant as she too got dressed in her black short shorts and baby blue shirt while Lucas placed on his black sweatpants, and letterman jacket. He walked out of her bedroom door and walked to the living room area where Lucas was met by Mr and Mrs. Matthews.
"Have a seat Lucas." Mr. Matthews directed in a calm tone of voice. He complied with Mr. Matthews' request.
"So, am I in trouble sir?" Lucas asked knowing this usually happens if Lucas was in trouble.
"No, you're not." Mr. Matthews answered.
"So why am I here?" Lucas asked now confused.
"We want you to do something for Riley." Topanga answered keeping her voice down. Cory revealed a small black velvet box revealing a shiny diamond ring.
"We know you've worked hard and sacrificed yourself for Riley on numerous occasions and we know how much you love each other. So could you do us a favor and marry our daughter." Cory asked knowing the time had come to give away his baby girl.
"I will sir! Thank you so much. So do I have your blessing?" Lucas asked one more time to confirm. The parents looked to each other.
"You've had our blessing since you first asked her out on her first date." Topanga answered remembering how her and Cory began their relationship.
"And Lucas, don't call me "sir" anymore, I'd prefer if from now on you call me, "dad" Cory suggested.
"Will do…Dad." Lucas said as he and Lucas hugged and eventually him and Mrs. Matthews.
"Now go propose to our daughter." Topanga requested. He nodded his head trying to think of the best way to make this happen, what words to say and hoping he doesn't blow it. He opened the door to her room hiding the black box in the right pocket of his letterman jacket.
"Hey babe! What did my parents want to talk to you about?" Riley asked.
"Can we talk for a moment?" Lucas said now worrying Riley.
"Bay window! Bay window right now!" Riley said. Riley sat down and Lucas sat right beside her.
"So, your parents wanted to talk to me about us." Lucas said being honest.
"Is this about your College Basketball career." Riley asked. He nodded his head lying to her.
"They want to know where I'm playing next year." Lucas answered lying to her again.
"Do you know where you want to play?" Riley asked again. This time Lucas shook his head.
"Why not?" Riley asked now becoming concerned.
"Because there's somethings I need to think about and consider." Lucas answered honestly this time as he stood up and began to walk around.
"Like what do you need to consider?" Riley asked as her concern grew. Maya began to sneak at her usual entrance to the Bay Window with a camera in hand and Farkle at another angle of the Bay Window with a video camera wanting to capture this moment.
"How much tuition will be, how good the program is so at least after my career is over, I am going to be ok if or not I make it into the NBA, there's also where you plan to attend because if you make it to UCLA or Syracuse, I'll gladly skip out on Texas." Lucas answered truthfully.
"Lucas, it's going to be fine, because…I lied to you." Riley said feeling guilty. His eyes grew.
"About what?" Lucas asked.
"I made it to UCLA for Drama a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to keep it a surprise until after the tournament." Riley answered.
"Why?" Lucas asked again.
"So you could focus on the tournament because I knew how big of a deal it was for you." Riley pleaded. Farkle and Maya looked to each other shocked and trying not to blow their cover.
"Wow! That's awesome Riley." Lucas congratulated hugging his girlfriend but keeping in mind the box is inside the jacket.
"So I guess, we're going to UCLA next year and become Bruins." Lucas said.
"Mhmm." Riley hummed nodding her head.
"Good, now that leaves one more thing to do." Lucas said knowing the moment had come.
"You're gonna call the UCLA scout and tell him we're coming?" Riley asked.
"That and this." Lucas said as he got down on one knee and pulled out the black velvet box, he opened it, and presented the ring to her.
"Riley Matthews, you have been with me through it all, and I've been by your side when you were going through tough times. We made it together! And I want to share many more unforgettable memories with you for as long as we both shall live. I love you Riley Matthews and no matter how tough life gets I will always love you. You are my first love and my last love, my world will be incomplete without you. Riley Matthews, will you marry me?" Lucas proposed as he improvised his lines to her. She stood up, covered her mouth in amazement, and began to cry tears of joy jumping up and down
"Yes!" Riley answered as her eyes became watery as Lucas slipped the diamond ring on her left finger as Maya took the photo and the kiss that Lucas and Riley shared together.
"YAAAAAAAAY! I'M ENGAGED!" Riley squealed and cheered jumping into Lucas' body as she wrapped her legs around his waist as she kissed him with tongue while Farkle and Maya entered the Bay Window and celebrated with them while Cory, Topanga and, Auggie came in right after and celebrated together on a memorable night that will live in their memories forever.
