A/N: I really liked the feed back I received for the previous chapter. I've been a little busy over the passed weeks so I hope that doesn't interfere with the time I should have to post a chapter. Thank you guys once again for the continuous support, it truly means a whole lot. I was asked how was I going to wrap up this story in only four chapters, my response: the chapters are so fucking long!
naelacy: Exactly. That is what I wanted people to know. Hate is so strong, it's something no one should have for someone else. GMW inspired the way I wrote that chapter because Maya didn't forgive her dad, and that is what I wanted Lucas to do. Some people make mistakes, some of those mistakes are SO huge that you can't forgive someone for that. And yes. Rucas is imperfect, but that is what makes them beautiful. Yes, Rucas will prevail. But will they prevail in the way we want them to?
ArabellaRoseD: We are crying with you. It's not just you, it's all of us. Yes, I knew from the very beginning that Lucas would always watch out for his mom and for himself, he won't just let Peter back in without testing him, or without knowing he is fully sober. I don't think I've had Rucas say "I love you" yet. So who knows? Will they say those words? And exactly! Maya and Lucas are completely different. And Maya will soon realize that all that anger she has for Lucas will only weaken her. She'll realize she lost her best friend because of it. (That was a major hint). And I NEVER mind a long review - it only shows me you truly care for this show. I don't know if there is going to be a sequel. I don't know what it will be about. So far nothing has been in the works. I have no plan for anything after this. So who knows. All I want right now is for people you focus on Dangerous Woman.
volleyballer82: Thank you. All I want is for people to learn from this story. To take it seriously and not just see it as a fanfic. I want it to serve a purpose. There is a Rucas moment that I wrote, three months ago and had in mind long before this story even began, you'll love it…and you'll read it sooner than soon.
amymayy2003: Yes. Was that Agnes? And keep in mind Lucas is 18 and Riley is 17, still pretty young to have children. Love you too.
Josie: Yes. I am. It's already written. I'm just waiting for it to be released. After this chapter I am going on a two week hiatus - there are some stuff I have to deal with. The chapter should be up on the 23rd of this month.
Disagree: The way I interpreted it was that Lucas has the ability to not be taunted by his actions at times. He'll forget, but he won't forgive. When Lucas didn't forgive Peter, he pushed him out of his life. He pushed him far enough so he wouldn't be hurt later on. So he wouldn't have forgave the man who falls back into his old habits when he's bored.
JJ: Yeah, people can really relate to things such as this. I didn't want to ignore it, especially since i've brought up Lucas' dad for more than half this story. I didn't want to not have them talk about what happened. Always, thank you so much.

As they stepped inside, Lucas spread his arms and uttered, "Welcome to my cave." Riley chuckled a bit and turned back to face Lucas, giving him a light peck on the lips.
"It's bigger than I remember," she told him.
Once they were fully inside, Lucas started to pick up the scattered shirts, boxer briefs, and pants that laid on the floor. "Sorry about the mess, I haven't found the time to clean it."
"No, don't worry about it. I get it, my boyfriend's a hoarder," she said while kissing him once more. Lucas then proceeded to take off his jacket and kiss her neck, Riley looked around the room and found many trophies and medals on his bookshelf. She looked at the window that radiated all the light and then did a double take. Below the window were several cardboard boxes stacked on top of each other. She would've ignored it, but as Lucas deepened the kiss, curiosity took over. "Why do you have so many boxes?"
Lucas stopped kissing Riley's neck and turned to the boxes, "Those are letters."
She furrowed her brows, "Are they from your dad?"
He nodded, "About 98% of it. I have a few pictures of him that I don't really need or want, there are a few other things that just aren't important in general."
Riley's eyes fell on him, "You really want to throw it all out?"
"Yeah. I mean, everything in those boxes remind of the past. You, on the other hand, are my future," he said kissing her once more. When Riley didn't reciprocate, he pulled back and stared at her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just...I don't think that's a smart idea. Don't you think you should throw it out after you talk to your dad? To see if you really want to do something like this."
"I'm not gonna talk to him, Riley."
"And why not?"
"Wait, hold on, that's what you think I should do? Talk to him?" Lucas asked, a bit confused.
"It would be smart if you did. I mean he is your dad after -"
"He's not my dad," Lucas said in a firm manner. It didn't take long before he realized that he had ruined their moment which was now overcome by silence. "I'm sorry, I just..."
"It's okay," she breathed. "I can't tell you what you can or cannot do, but please just think about it, for me?"
Before he could nod, Riley moved so Lucas wouldn't be on top of her anymore. She got off the bed but before she could take another step, Lucas got a hold of her. "Where are you going?"
"Chloe needs me," she lied. "Call me?"
"Wait, why don't we go somewhere with her?" He asked, looking up at Riley.
"What?" Riley asked, pretending she didn't hear the first time.

He went home that day with a mind full of thoughts. Lucas had never been so sure of a decision in his entire life.
When he opened the door to his room, Lucas was surprised to find Riley. Her hair was down, stopping at just the top of her shoulders, curled. She looked beautiful in his shirt. She spread her hands and Lucas hugged her. He kissed her forehead and leaned his own against hers.
Riley's eyes were on him. She was expecting an answer and when he shook his head, she found that answer. But she wasn't mad. She just hugged him.
Lucas sighed and breathed in Riley's scent.
"I couldn't do it," he told her.
"It's okay, Lucas. You didn't have to."
"I forgave myself, instead," he said.
Riley raised a brow.
"I forgive myself for hating him. Even though I had every right to, I realized I could live a life without forgiving someone, but I can't live a life hating someone."
Riley hugged him once again.
Lucas nestled himself in their embrace. Within every second, he found himself loving Riley more and more. She had been with him for better and for worst, just like a relationship should be. And that's what they were. But the more and more he branded his feelings for her as 'like' the more he realized 'like' doesn't fall anywhere near the spectrum. He didn't 'like' her.
He loved her.
He stared into her eyes and smiled. His feelings were genuine.
His love for her was genuine.
Dangerous Woman

Riley walked inside Lucas' home and froze.
She eyed the piece of clothing just steps away from her and raised a brow. Riley opted to walk towards it and when she did; she realized it was a bra. She walked up the stairs and walked into Lucas' bedroom.
She felt different. Very different.
Lucas' house was bright as day when she ascended the stairs. When she reached the second floor Lucas' room was a few feet away. She approached his bedroom door without hesitation.
When the door swung open, Lucas was strapped to a chair and a girl stood in front of him. She wore dark clothes and her hair was long and curly, she turned around and Riley's eyes widened.
It was like she was staring at a mirror. The girl in front of Riley looked exactly like her. From the nose to the eyes, same dimples and cheekbones; they were identical.
"Well, as if it wasn't expected," she utters and smirks. She turns back to Lucas.
"Riley. You need to run. GO!" Lucas bellowed.
Riley couldn't react fast enough, she couldn't even process what was going on. It was as if she was frozen. The girl approached her and pulled her into the room, she slammed the door and turned to Riley. "It's funny, don't you think?"
Riley raised a brow and stepped back.
"How you managed to win over his heart when no other girl could?"
She stares at Lucas then back at Riley, "Makes me wonder. What is it that he sees in you? I mean, he's slept with practically every girl in town. Some who are prettier, some who give miracles in bed, but poor little Riley Matthews just had to sing to his best friend."
The girl inched closer to her. She stopped when Riley's back was pressed against the wall. "I wonder if he knows why you sang to the best friend and not him instead."
"Let her go! You already have me."
"That's where you're wrong," she says. "Trust me, you're gonna wanna hear this?" Her eyes fell on Riley. "Tell him!"
Riley couldn't move. Part of her was still shocked by what could be her twin. Millions of thoughts ran through her hair and she couldn't seem to act on them.
"Or I will."
"Riley, what-what is she talking about?"
There was a silence for a few seconds.
Lucas stared at her, she looked exactly like Riley, the only difference was the hair. Riley's hair was shorter whereas the other Riley's hair was curly and long. "Whatever fantasy you have about who she is and what you are to her, it's all bullshit."
He stared at Riley, then back at the girl in front of him.
"Stop," Riley whispered. She tried to make herself clearer and louder but nothing was happening.
"You only know she exists because she wanted to break your heart! She just wanted you to fall for her so she could break you, just like you did to every girl you've been seen with."
Lucas stared at Riley as a pool of tears gathered in his eyes. "Is this true?"
She couldn't speak. All she could do was cry. She wanted to move or defend herself but nothing was letting her do that. It was as if she was frozen.
The girl leaned towards Lucas, she enjoyed watching him like this. "You feel that? That empty, heartbroken feeling? That's what it feels like to get close to Riley Matthews."
He stared at Riley before the tears rolled from his eyes down to his chin.
"Don't believe her," she yelled. "It's not true." She wasn't sure if the words came out but they seemed to have. "Don't believe her."
"Choose what you want to believe, Lucas. But something tells me you believe me."
"I do," he states. Riley stepped back, his voice was firm and full of hate.
She walked out the door and turned around to look at Riley, she smirked and scoffed.
Then she was gone.
Riley turned back to look at him. He was no longer sitting on a chair, he was standing up.
"Lucas let me explain-" She stopped approaching him when he interrupted her.
"There's nothing you need to explain to me."
"I'm sorry," she followed him down the stairs. "Please, Lucas."
He ignored her. She kept calling his name but he wouldn't answer. She didn't even have time to question who the hell that was in the room with them. How did she know?
When Lucas didn't turn to look at her, Riley pulled on his hand. Lucas waved her off but this movement caused him to slip. He fell down the rest of the stairs.
Riley gasped as she watched him fall. When he landed flat on the ground everything went black.
Pitch black!

Riley woke up that night drenched in sweat. She sat upright and looked all around her. When she realized she was in Maya's bedroom, on her bed, she sighed.
It was just a dream.
Everything she did to try and go back to sleep did not work. She just couldn't close her eyes without seeing Lucas. It was beyond the scariest thing she's ever dreamed of.
The only way she drew morning to a close was by going out for a run. She ran the same course Lucas ran every morning. It was quite exhausting but Lucas was far from her mind.
As she almost reached her destination, Riley was dressed in adrenaline and sweat. She was tired and exhausted.
Except only when she turned around she found Lucas. He didn't have a shirt which only made possible impossible. "Hey, what are you doing here?"
He went in to kiss Riley but she stepped back. "I just needed to get away."
"Away from what?"
She smiled and giggled nervously. "Don't have time. I gotta go."
He extended his hand and stopped her. He smiled and leaned in to kiss her but Riley jerked away from his lips and dogged his kiss. It's not that she didn't want to kiss him. She really did. In fact, ever since they've been together Riley couldn't help but want to kiss him.
It was remembering the kiss that would keep reminding her of Lucas.
He raised a brow and stepped back.
"Is something wrong?"
"Of course not."
He stared at Riley for a good four seconds before he stepped back and let her pass. "Go on."
She smiled and placed a hand on his cheek before she continued to walk.
Something was definitely wrong.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Riley stepped out of the shower and walked towards the empty room. Normally Maya would be there lying in her bed but today she wasn't. In fact, Riley hadn't seen her in at least three days. She could've taken the time she had alone for granted and idled her time watching tv, but something in her gut refrained her from that. The truth is, Riley had been thinking about telling Lucas the truth. The ENTIRE truth. After having that dream and watching Lucas fall down those stairs everything changed. Riley didn't like seeing Lucas hurt. And how would she do it if their plan ended with hurting Lucas?
She left the bathroom with a white robe wrapped around her body. She found her way to the living room where Katy sat.
"Hey Katy, have you seen Maya?"
"She's with her friends dear, why? Do you need her?"
She scratched her head and fluffed out her hair. "Yeah."
"Well, is it about Lucas?"
Riley contemplated on telling her. Should she know she's only with Lucas because she has to seduce him?
Instead, she planned on making up a lie. Something she's gotten good at.
"Lucas doesn't know his best friend might have feelings for me?" She didn't know how this would go but it was too late to back out.
Katy set her book down and turned to Riley. She patted for her to sit. "What friend is this?"
She didn't know either. "I'd rather not say."
Katy understood. "And you think Lucas should know?"
Riley nodded. In a way, what she was telling Katy did relate. They were both secrets and it required Lucas finding out about something.
"Honey, Lucas has every right to know. He is your boyfriend after all."
"I know. And you're right he does deserve to know. But I know Lucas. He won't take the news well."
"Then talk to the best friend. Tell him your feelings are strictly for Lucas."
"I've already tried that. He hasn't stopped."
"Then he's not a loyal friend. Therefore Lucas deserves to know."
Riley bit her lip. How could she make this relate to what was actually happening?
"What if the best friend has been trying to break us up? What if there was a complication between us and he was to blame because of it?"
"Then Lucas needs to know. Honey, the best advice I can give you in a relationship: is honesty. He deserves to know. Would you want to know?"
Riley nodded. This really helped answer her question. "Thank you, Katy."
She walked into Maya's room and found her phone on the dresser. She threw herself on the bed and dialed Lucas' number.
"Babe," his voice was raspy.
"Lucas. Hey, um...I couldn't talk earlier but maybe we can talk tomorrow. Breakfast?" She heard him sigh.
"Is everything okay?" he asked her.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?"
"I just, I thought you were mad at me."
"Why would I be mad?"
"Well, maybe because you didn't let me kiss you today. You haven't called me-"
"I'm calling you know."
"At ten in the night. We always talk around six."
"I know. I've just been under the weather. We can talk tomorrow."
"Come over?"
"I'll be there around eight," she played with her hair the remainder of their talk.
"Kay. See you then."
"Good night, Riley." Lucas ended the call and rolled over on his bed. Feeling slightly better now that he was certain Riley was okay.

He woke up the next morning drowsier than usual. He put on his gray sweatpants and walked out his room. He massaged his eyes as he walked down the stairs but when he reached the kitchen Lucas' eyes went wide. The smell of eggs, bacon and coffee radiated from the kitchen and just then his stomach rumbled.
He was tired and could barely see a thing in front of him.
"Lucas, Riley's here."
He turned his head to where he heard the voice come from. Katherine was placing three strips of bacon onto a plate but in front of his mom was Riley. He approached Riley and gave her a kiss on the lips. He then kissed his mom on the cheek.
"You're mom showed me a whole bunch of baby pictures," Riley advised him. Lucas scoffed and Riley giggled. "C'mon, you were cute. With the chubby cheeks and the perfect smile."
"We can't say that about him now," Katherine chimed in.
Riley stared at Lucas and saw that his hair was standing and unkempt. She only realized it made him look hotter. Especially since he wasn't wearing a shirt.
"He's still adorable."
"Enough," he laughed. "I gotta remember to hide those pictures when you come over."
She smiled.
The three proceeded to eat their breakfast and occasionally laugh. Riley was having such a great time she almost forgot the reason she was there in the first place. The rest of their morning wasn't the same after that. She idled her time thinking about how she was going to tell him. That kept happening until Lucas parked his car where he normally dropped Riley off. She never let him drive her any further.
"I'm glad you weren't mad at me, Riley. I would've been very confused."
She just smiled. If she was going to tell him, she was glad it was happening somewhere near Maya's house. So he could just kick her out his truck and Riley wouldn't have much to walk. "Listen, Lucas-"
His phone rang and he decided to answer it then and there. "Yeah, she's still with me. Okay," he turned to look at her. "I could ask. Yeah. Be there in a few minutes."
"Who was that?"
"It was my mom," he said as he placed his phone in his jeans. "She wants to know if you would like to participate in a pageant?"
"A what?"
"A pageant," he continued. "We talked about this last night and my mom wanted you to be in it. I told her I'd ask you."
"Wh-what does it mean?"
He chuckled, "Means you get to do a dance with me and people will get to watch..."
"Okay..."
Lucas continued, "And there will be people that rate you in appearance, if you win, which I bet you will, you get to be crowned Miss WaterLake."
"But-"
"So, what do you say?"
"Yes," the words came out before she could take them back. Lucas smiled and pecked her lips.
"You won't regret it, I promise."
He kissed her again and smiled. "I almost forgot. You wanted to tell me something-"
"It's nothing. I'll see you later."
He nodded and Riley got out the truck.
She looked at him and smiled before she closed the door to his truck. As she turned her back on him Riley swallowed the lump of truth down her neck and proceeded to walk straight onto the sidewalk. She was about to turn around but before she could process the thought, Lucas had already drove off.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
The guilt ate at her the whole day. It distracted her from doing simple things, things so simple she found it hard staring at Maya's depressing paintings because they reminded her so much of him. She got off the bay window and sauntered towards his house. She was more than determined to tell him the truth, to break his heart with honesty then what she and Maya had originally planned on doing. When the door opened and it was Lucas in front of her, all that courage had dispersed. She sighed in disappointment at her lack of courage and looked at her shoes.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I don't know," she answered. "I just...I really needed to see you."
He smirked. "If it made you feel better I was about to call you."
He spread out his hands for Riley to embrace. When they hugged a light bulb went off in his head. "Hey, wait here for a sec."
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"I never realized there were so many stars," Riley said as she looked up. She rested her head on Lucas collarbone as his hand played with hers.
Lucas had drove her to a place in the woods near his home that sat under millions of stars.
"There's many of them," he said into her ear. He rested his forehead on the back of her head and took in the smell of her hair, nothing had ever smelled better. Lucas lived off of Riley's happiness, and right now he was high. He loved seeing her this way, flabbergasted by the beauty of things. She looked up at the stars while Lucas looked at her. It could've been anything and his eyes would've been on her. The world could've ended and he wouldn't have cared. As long as she was with him, nothing else mattered.
"See that right there, those group of stars. How they kind of look like a pan? That's the Big Dipper."
Riley looked at Lucas and smiled, "I see it."
"Move your eyes to the right and then up to that bright star..."
"Uh-huh," Riley nodded.
"That's the Polaris," he informed.
"Who knew you knew so much about stars?"
He chuckled, "When my mom and I first moved here I was so thrilled to find a get away place. This is it." She smiled at him, "And one night when I was fourteen, my science teacher gave me this paper with all the constellations and I stared at them for so long that I started to remember them."
She smiled, but then that smile faded. "Hey, Lucas."
"Yeah," his eyes went to hers. "You never told me what happened with you and your dad that morning."
"You already know how it turned out."
"You're right. But you never told me more than that."
He sighed.
"...unless you don't want to tell me."
"I don't hide secrets from you, Riley. I just," Suddenly desperate for comfort, Lucas reaches for Riley's hand and her fingers intertwine with his. "He's still the same liar. He might've changed. I saw the sincerity in his eyes, but the Peter I know...would choose alcohol over his own family any day."
She would be lying if she said it didn't hurt her that there was someone out there how would make such a choice, but she was happy Lucas was smart enough to know who would hurt him. "He missed out on two of the most amazing people I know," Riley comforted.
"Thanks Riley," Lucas nuzzled his chin in the crook of her neck. "Hey, how come I've never met your family?"
"What?" Riley questioned pretending she didn't hear him the first time.
"How come you haven't introduced me to your family?" he questioned. "And now that I've mentioned it, you've only mentioned them once."
"Well, what would you want to know?"
"Besides the whole cheating, how is he as a person?"
"My dad?"
He nodded.
"I never thought he'd do that, especially to the woman he's known since they were little. But, if I could look past it, and see my dad as...my dad, then I'd say he's the wisest man there is. He's taught me so much."
He nodded.
"Your mom?"
"Well, my mom is a lawyer. And that pretty much explains her personality."
Lucas chuckled.
"She's a strong independent woman. She's a feminist just like I am. We both flew to Washington to be in the Women's March."
Lucas nodded, "I can't wait to meet her."
Riley turned to look at the stars, completely ignoring what he said.
Lucas raised a brow, "Is that not what you want?"
She didn't give him an answer.
He took this as a 'no'. He licked his lips and loosened his grip on her.
"Lucas-"
He didn't look at her.
"You'll meet them one day. I promise you."
The promise felt sincere. Half of her did want Lucas to meet her parents, but the other half didn't want him to. Lucas doesn't know she lives in California, he doesn't know that her stay is coming to an end. And he probably won't know for another few weeks or so.
Looking out at the bright stars, Riley loses herself to thoughts and memories once again.
Meeting Lucas had been one of the best things that has ever happened to her. Going into this she thought Lucas would be hard to seduce, from the looks of it he doesn't look like he'd think twice about you. But he's the opposite of that. Sure, when he gets mad it can get out of hand. But he has known right from wrong and that's something Riley has always known is in him. He was just blinded from the past that he was stuck in between both right and wrong.
She couldn't help but want to describe their relationship as love.
Love.
That's what Lucas felt for Riley. And it wasn't the type of love that makes him nervous and make him stutter, no, it was the love where you can talk about anything; trust and honesty are involved, understanding is a main ingredient and so much more that can last him for a life time.
As he holds Riley in this comfortable embrace, he can't help but tell her he loves her. He wants to, but the moment isn't right. And it didn't have to be. But one way, or the other, those words were going to come out. And he intended for it to be...unforgettable.
She's precious, a one of a kind. She's his hope, his balance. She's saved him from despair when no on else could, she's been there to keep him human, to keep him grounded and open-minded. The best kind of love, is where it make you realize things. Where it brings out the best in you. And that's what Lucas found in Riley.
She brought out the best in him.
"I really like you, Riley."
She chuckled and turned to face him. "I really like you too, Lucas."
When their eyes met, Lucas was the first to lean in all the way. He didn't want to wait. He just needed her.
Wake up to your dreams
And watch them come true
I'll make you whisper my name, I'll never leave the room
Night and day, I'll be your muse
No other girl can make you feel the way I do
Lucas stands on his knees and slides off his shirt in front of Riley, he leans forward and wraps his hand on her back. He presses one hand on the grass while he leans in and captures his lips with hers. He moves from her lips to her chin and from her chin to her jaw, then he lowers to her collarbone. Riley bites her lips at the tingling sensation and places her hand on his waist.
I can make the stars dance
Light up the moon, I can make the stars dance
If you want me to
The sky is everywhere, so meet me under there
I can make the stars dance dance dance with you
He smiles at first and then deepens the kiss. Riley then places both her hands on his back and presses him closer. She archs her back and just then Lucas focuses on something else, their body's.
Don't be afraid, close your eyes
Let me take you to places that you've never been tonight
I thought by know you'd realize I can do anything I put my mind to
I can make the stars dance
Light up the moon, I can make the stars dance
If you want me to
The sky is everywhere, so meet me under there
I can make the stars dance dance dance with you
A light moan escapes Riley and that's just what Lucas wanted to hear, her satisfaction. That showed him she wanted this just as much as he did.
Everything I touch turns to love
Everything I do will open up heaven
It's dead steady, there's falling and flying in love
Nothing's forever because we are just stars, dance
Riley relaxes at his good-natured decisions after his hand stops unzipping her pants, he seems to know what she wants even when she doesn't. She feels safe with him, something no one has managed to do. The pact she made with Maya was forgotten, hidden under the hundreds of kisses she's shared with Lucas in the past weeks. She no longer was with Lucas for that reason, she was with him because she loves him and she wasn't afraid of it anymore. She wasn't scared to laugh into his ear when Lucas kissed her in the crook of her neck nor was she embarrassed to be herself.
I can make the stars dance
Light up the moon, I can make the stars dance
If you want me to
The sky is everywhere, so meet me under there
I can make the stars dance dance dance with you
I can make the stars dance
I can make the stars dance
I can make, I can make, I can make the stars dance
Lucas stops kissing her when he realizes he passed her limits, he wanted to be her blanket as much as he wanted to yell out the three simple words every girl wants to hear and every guy wants to say, but he didn't. Instead, he stares at her and says, "What are you doing to me, woman?"
She smiles, "What every guy needs."
The sky is everywhere, so meet me under there
I can make the stars dance dance dance with you

A/N: This is probably one of my favorite chapters so far. I'd like to thank Friartale for being so damn patient. I worked with her for this chapter and she gave me some wonderful ideas. She has been waiting months for this. =) The song used in this chapter is called Stars Dance by Selena Gomez and I've been wanting to use this song. Remember every song used in this story serves a purpose. It explains the state Lucas and Riley are in as a couple or even as friends. A little fun fact, this chapter was already planned before I even started writing the third chapter in the story. Always let me know what you think and Guest's feel free to leave a review with a username. Thank you so much for reading.
Chapter 28: June 23rd
