Not Meant To Be (Rucas)

Let Us Explain

Chapter 16

Riley and Lucas tried to sneak back into the house, only to be greeted by their friends.

"How could you!?" Maya yelled.

"Get married!?" Josh yelled in rage.

"Ok, let us explain." Riley tried to calm them down.

"No! This was the biggest mistake! Lucas you shouldn't have come back! Mackenzie and Farkle are trying to get Gracie out of her room, who has locked herself in there ever since she got home from school and found out!" Josh yelled and stormed off.

"Maya let me explain please!" Riley begged her best friend.

"Fine." she rolled her eyes.

"We were going to get married but stopped. We realized we didn't want to do this without everyone there! Maya we made a mistake. What do we do?" Riley asked with tears in her eyes.

Maya saw her pain, she knew her best friend felt bad. Maya felt bad as well. This has all been to dramatic, especially for Riley. Dealing with her daughter, ex boyfriend who she still loves, and her family. It was too much.

Maya hugged Riley as she cried into her shoulder.

"You need to talk to Grace, not me about this. I'll talk to Josh, Mack, and Farkle." she whispered and Riley nodded.

They let go of the hug and Riley ran up to Gracie's room.

"Grace, we need to talk." Riley said and walked in.

Grace looked up from her pillow and wiped her eyes.

"Gracie we did not get married." Riley said and sat down by her.

She picked Gracie up and held her in her lap.

"Then why did you leave? I thought you would leave me forever." Grace cried into Riley's shirt.

"Grace I would never leave you. Never ever ever." she hugged her.

"Promise?" Grace asked and looked up.

"I swear. Are you really bothered by me and Lucas getting married?" Riley asked.

"No, you guys look cute together. I guess he's ok." Gracie shrugged.

"Are you sure?" Lucas asked and came in, sitting down right by Riley.

"I guess, Huckleberry." Gracie laughed and ran off.

"She's been spending too much time with Maya." Lucas laughed along with Riley.

"Probably. Lucas I still want to marry you, do you?" Riley asked, looking into Lucas' eyes.

"Of course I do! Just not rushed like how we did it." Lucas explained.

"I agree." Riley nodded and Lucas pulled her up.

"Well then," he started and got down on his knee. "Riley Matthews, would you make me the happiest man on the planet and marry me?" he asked and Riley laughed.

"Yes, of course." she laughed and they hugged.

"AW!" voices said. They turned around, only to see Mackenzie, Farkle, Maya, Josh, and Gracie.

"Are you guys ok with this?" Lucas asked and they all ran over and hugged.

"Of course we are!" Mackenzie cheered. Lucas picked Gracie up and she smiled.

"Welcome to the dysfunctional family, dad." Gracie smiled and Lucas hugged her.

Everyone was shocked.

"Did you just call him dad?" farkle asked her, still shocked. Gracie nodded at them.

"What, he's my dad isn't he?" Gracie asked.

"Yeah, that's me." Lucas smiled and kissed her cheek.
