FAM! YA'LL ARE TOO SWEET! WHEN I LOOKED AT MY REVIEWS, I STARTED CRYING! YA'LL MADE MY DAY SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE WEDNESDAY, I WAS SICK AND I READ MY REVIEWS TO CHEER ME UP! So, I just had to get that out of the way. And BTW, the whole make-out session wasn't my idea! Someone suggested that I should throw in a really romantic Rucas moment. But, it will not go any further than a few kisses. NO MORE MAKE OUT SCENES. At least, not until chapter 15 or 16... Anyway, without further ado, I give you Chapter 8.

Disclaimer: I do not own Girl Meets World, but if I did, Rucas would be endgame...

Maya looked at Riley and mouthed "Bay Window". She and Riley ran upstairs. Lucas just looked down at his hands while Farkle's jaw was agape. Farkle didn't expect to see this day, especially not before graduation.

"Did it go any further?" Farkle quietly asked as Lucas nervously rubbed his hands together.

"No, we just made out, and I wouldn't have let it come to that, because I know that we're not ready," Lucas admitted. It felt like a ton of bricks had been lifted off of Farkle's chest as he heard his best friend deny his suspicions.

"Good, because if it did happen, Mr. Matthews would not have taken it too calmly," Farkle blurted. Lucas laughed but inside, he was feeling butterflies. He and Riley said their first 'I love you's' today and had their first make-out session. At least he didn't give Riley a hickey.

"Let's go see what the girls are talking about," Lucas thought out loud. Farkle nodded as he and Lucas crept up the stairs towards Riley's bedroom.

Meanwhile... At the Bay Window...

"So, Riles, what happened while Farkle and I were gone?" Maya asked as she took off her uncomfortable blue jeans and slipped on her red flannel pants that she had on earlier to make pizza... "RILEY! THE PIZZA!"

"Relax, Peaches, I checked the timer, and it had five more minutes left," said Riley calmly. "To answer your question, all Lucas and I did was kiss and make out."

"Matthews, you know that goes down in my book as rebellion against your father?" Maya questioned as she tried not to think about Cory's reaction if he would've walked in.

"Hey, at least 'IT' didn't happen," Riley emphasized. Maya stopped in her tracks. Riley actually thought about that.

"Well, when the time comes, Ranger Rick better be gentle with you," said Maya as she looked at her phone. It was 4:30 and she was spending the night.

Outside the door..

"This puts me in an awkward position," Lucas whispered as he heard Riley and Maya talking about their love life.

"Hey, it's awkward for me, too," Farkle admitted quietly as they kept their ears pressed to the door. All they heard was silence. Little did they know that Maya and Riley knew they were outside.

**TOGETHER**

"One, two, three, GO!" They all shouted as they opened Riley's door. The girls screamed and so did the boys. Then, they all bent over laughing.

"You scared us!" yelled Riley when she heard the buzzer going off for the pizza. "I'll be right back!" She ran downstairs, grabbed on oven mitt, put it on, opened the stove, and got the pizza out. She set it on the stove and turned off the buzzer and stove. Soon, the rest of her friends joined her in the kitchen.

"Hey, Lucas, would you walk with me to my apartment where I can get a set of comfy clothes?" asked Farkle.

"I would, but who would stay here with the girls?" Lucas asked.

"Ranger Rick, we can handle ourselves!" Maya defended her and Riley.

"What if someone broke in and you couldn't defend yourselves?" Lucas smirked. But victory was with the girls as Topanga walked in.

"MOM!" Riley said as she ran over to her and hugged her.

"Good afternoon to you too, Riley," laughed Topanga as she hugged her daughter. She looked at the boys and was about to ask them a question when she was interrupted.

"We all decided to hang out since school was cancelled," said Farkle as he greeted Topanga.

"Well, you can stay for dinner. As soon as Cory gets back with groceries, I'll get started on.." Topanga started before she was interrupted by a cellphone ringing. It was Riley's. She immediately answered it, not bothering to look at the Caller ID.

HelloHi, Princess! I can't go without your voice today, so I decided to call you! Since we weren't in school, I couldn't see you.
Who is this?
You'll find out soon enough, but stop making out with that poor excuse for a boyfriend.
Look, I don't know who you are, but you have no right to talk about my personal love life!
No, that's the thing. You do know me, but you've never directly spoken to me.
Please, leave me alone and my family and friends. We've never done anything to you, and if we have, I'm sorry!
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE! I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!
NO! YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH ME!
I'M NOT OBSESSED! DON'T RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME OR I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO SCREAM ABOUT!
No, you won't! You won't have me and you never will...

Riley ended the call with tears streaming down her face. Maya was first to wrap her arms around Riley. Topanga was next, then Lucas, then Farkle. Cory and Auggie came in seconds later.

"Honey! I'm.." Cory started to say before he saw the sight before him. He and Auggie brought the groceries inside and set them down on the floor beside the dining room table. They all started hugging Riley.

"Honey?" Maya asked soothingly as Riley started sobbing and shaking.

"M-Maya, I-I just d-don't k-know what t-to d-do anymore," Riley said in between sniffles and sobs.

"We're here for you," said Farkle as he noticed his best friend at her worst. Seeing her like this made his blood boil.

"Sweetheart," started Topanga and Cory but Topanga finished their sentence. "We will find out who's bothering you. I promise!"

"It'll be okay, Riley! I just miss Smiley Riley," Auggie sighed as he hugged his sister.

"City Girl, just remember what we talked about earlier today," Lucas said as he held his lover in his arms. Finally, everyone separated from the hug, except for Riley and Lucas. They stood there holding each other like their lives depended on it.

"Maya, Farkle, can you help us with the groceries?" Cory asked silently, as he tried not to disturb the two love-struck teens.

"Yeah," they said in unison as they began to unpack the groceries.

"Princess?" Lucas whispered into Riley's ear. "Are you okay? What did he say to make you this upset?" Riley took a deep breath before she answered.

"He called you.. a poor excuse... for a boyfriend... and he said that I was his..." Riley said as she tried to control her sobs. Lucas stroked her hair down her back repeatedly in a comforting way.

"He won't touch you," Lucas promised as he kissed the top of Riley's head. Riley looked up at her boyfriend with the most adoring eyes anyone could ever have.

"You know, I love you," said Riley as she pecked Lucas on the lips. Lucas frowned.

"That's all I get for an 'I love you'?" Lucas pouted. Riley laughed a little.

"I told you that you'd regret giving me butterfly kisses," Riley giggled as she tried not to kiss him again. Lucas kissed Riley's lips a little longer than two seconds, and then parted.

"I love you, probably more than you'll ever know," Lucas huskily whispered.

They would get through this bump together, because they were lovers, best friends, and they trusted each other.

Can I get over 120 reviews for the next chapter, but I'm grounded this weekend for failing a quiz that I had no idea about, so I'm sorry. I'll be ungrounded before next Wednesday, so can ya'll go that long without an update? Just remember I love all of ya'll. I have a few things I'd like to say before you stop reading this boring old Author's note.

A guest reviewer told me this

"You are my Rucas queen! Fire the GMW writers and hire you because you make my Rucas heart pound like the cops on the door of a drug dealer! Ohmigod I need more!" You were so sweet to write this! I FREAKING LOVE YOU!

I don't have time to post all of your reviews, but they all have sentimental values. Just like the review above, that is what gives me motivation to write! If I could get reviews like this all day, this story would be over by now! That's just how motivating your reviews are. Well, I've gotta go! Can't stay up too late because I have to make up a quiz tomorrow. I love all of you! Until next time, loves :):):)
