Forever // A Rucas Fanfic ✔️

14.

"Riley," I scream as I enter the abandoned building. "Riley! Where are you?"

"Lucas shut up," Maya scowls as she hits me on the head. "We don't want to be caught!"

"Well, all I'm doing is looking for Riley. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Well if we get caught, there will be nothing for us to look for."

"Fair enough."

If I was a kidnapper where would I hide the person? The attic? The basement?

"I'm going to the cellar. You check the attic for anything."

"You are dumb aren't you?"

"Insult me again and the dumb one here will be you."

"Okay, okay," I say in defeat. "Anyways we can't separate from each other. That's what they would want."

"I guess, Friar. I think you're just paranoid."

We both walk down into the basement, flashlight in one hand and a baseball bat in the other. The place was creepy as if no one had used the building in ages. Mold and mildew covered the walls and spiders made webs that touched the floor. It was the type of place that could crumble to nothing if you took a brick out of the wall. The hallways down here were long and seemed neverending.

"Do you have a permanent marker?"

"Why," I say as I check my pockets.

"I don't know why but I feel like we're going to get lost down here so I'm going to make a way to tell where we are going."

She uncaps the marker and begins drawing on the wall.

"Okay let's go."

The place smelled like death and rats ran around as if they owned the place. It seemed impossible for anyone to live here.

"Lucas over here," Maya whispered.

I walk over and see an old, nasty wooden door.

"This is the only door we've seen down here."

"Do you think..."

"Yeah."

We look at each other in the darkness and watch the door.

"Lucas..."

"Yeah."

Without hesitation, I kick the door with my foot, putting all my weight onto the kick so I break down the door easily. We both shine our flashlights around to see what we can find.

"Riley..."

"L-Lucas?"

"RILEY!"

"What are you doing here?"

"What am I? Walking meat?" Maya snarls playfully.

"Peaches is here too?!"

"Yes, Ma'am."

I get on my knees and hug the one person I strive to be with.

"Lucas?"

"Yeah, baby?"

"Can you get these handcuffs off of me?"

"YOU WERE TIED UP?"

"Wow Huckleberry, that's the first thing I saw. Some boyfriend you are... Anyways leave it to me."

"You are the criminal here."

"One more of those, Huckleberry, and you're going to wish I didn't have arms."

"Maya," Riley quietly whispers. "HURRY UP."

"Oh right. Sorry," she says as she scratches the back of her head.

"Are you okay?" I question Riley as Maya unshackles her.

"I'm okay. Barely."

"Bravo," A familiar voice says, claps booming behind me. "You found the lost puppy, Friar."

"Gardner," I scowl under my breath.

"Hiya, idiot."

"How ya doing, Friar," A female voice pops up behind him.

"I've been better, Missy."

"What beautiful misfortune."

"Shut up both of you," I snarl. "I'm tired of your games. I'm taking Riley home and if you stand in my way, I'll make sure you wish you were never born."

"Someone grew a pair of ball-"

I grab Charlie by his collar. "Look, Gardner, my patience is running thin and I think I can beat you up relatively quickly."

"Touch my husband like that and this knife is going to slice you open," Missy threatens.

"Wait, hold up. Husband and wife? You two?" Maya asks.

"Well yeah. We fell in love over our mutual hate of Riley Matthews and Lucas Friar."

"This is beautiful or whatever but I must be going," I say as I grab Charlie and Missy by the head. "So bye."

I bash their heads together and both of the crumble like pillars of table salt onto the floor.

"Is Riley out?"

"I'm all ready to go."

"Let's blow this popsicle stand, ladies and gents."

We run down the halls marked by the marker I gave Maya. When we finally make it outside, We're all out of breath.

"Riley," I breathe as I pull her into my embrace.

"Lucas, I'm here. I'm home."

"Riley... I'm sorry."

"You saved me, why do you need to be so-"

"RILEY," Maya screams.

Everything goes pitch black.
