Just to let you know, in this one,and my last one, Sudden Changes, Riley is 16 and Lucas is 17. They've been dating for four months.
Lucas' POV
I got to Riley's apartment nine minutes later. Crawling through the window, I saw that she was sitting on her bed in her pajamas, her hair in a messy halo.
"Hi." She said, her face turning a light shade of pink.
"Hey." I stood there staring at her, relishing in the fact that she was still alive. She moved over on the bed, making space for me to sit down. Walking over, I sat beside her and just stared at her.
"So…what was your dream about."
"It wasn't a dream. It was a nightmare." I looked down at my lap. "You were in a subway crash and you died." She wrapped her arms around me as I started to cry.
"I'm here Lucas. I'll never leave you. I promise." I started to speak but my words were muffled by her shoulder.
"What?"
"I love you, Riley. Don't leave me." I held her close to me.
"I love you too, Lucas Friar. I'll never leave you. You better not leave me either." I yawned. "You must be tired Lucas. You want to stay here for the night?" I nodded my head.
"I just need a blanket and a pillow and I'll be fine on the floor."
"Don't be silly. Just lay here."
"What about your dad?"
"It's not like we'll be doing anything wrong. We'll just be sleeping."
"Okay." She went back under the covers and I joined her after taking off my shoes. I opened my arms and she crawled into them.
"Good night Lucas." She kissed me on the cheek.
"Night Riles." She fell asleep with her head on my chest a few minutes later and I quickly fell asleep after her, with the love of my life in my arms.
