What do I have to do? (A Riker Lynch/ R5 love story)

Hold you softly

Riker's POV

I enter my house smiling about what had just happened with Lucy. She likes me back! Was all I could think as I began to close the door. However before I did I heard a scream. I hurried out of the house and over to Lucy's house. I fling the door open and head up the stairs two at a time. "Lucy? What happened?" I ask as I reach the living room. She turns. "Oh...Riker" she said weakly before falling forwards. I move to her falling figure and catch hold of her. I see the body of her mom. "Oh God" I choke before kneeling on the floor with my arms wrapped protectively around her fragile body. I look up to the heavens'. "Don't worry Mrs T. I'll look after her. I'll protect her" I whisper.

After a couple of hours she wakes up. "What... what happened?" She asks confused. I look at her. "Your mom was killed. You screamed. I came to your aid and then you collapsed" I explained moving over to her. I see the tears form in her eyes. I sit next to her and she rests her head on my shoulder and softly cries. I put my arms around her and hold her close to my body while gently stroking her hair to try and calm her down. "come on. You can move in with us." I say when she had calmed down. "R-really?" she asks taken aback. "Course. You're my best friend Luce" I reply with a smile. She smiles weakly before we stand and she packs some things while I head to the front door. After around five minuets or so she joins me. Her hands shake as she pulls out her key to lock the house. I gently squeeze her hand to calm her. She locks the door and I take her case as we make our way back to my house. I look over to her. She doesn't deserve this to have happened. I thought as I opened the door for her. We look up to see the rest of my family there. "What happened? We heard a scream and when we got here you had already gone Riker" Rocky asks.  "Guys. Her mom was just found dead. I said that she could move in with us." I explain as we make our way upstairs. "Is that okay mom?" I ask uncertainly. "Most definitely. Lucy you can move in with Rydel" mom answers. "Thank you, Stormie" she wispers. We then make our way down the hall to our rooms. When we reach the doors I turn to her. "If you need anything you can come to me okay?" I say smiling slightly. She sighs before saying "Thanks Rike. For everything" then she makes her way into the bedroom. I watch her and faintly hear her soft cries before I enter into my room which I shared with Rocky.

Lucy's POV

I feel numb. I mean, I'm practically an orphan. My mum is dead and my dad had left us when I was fifteen. I must admit though; I am happy that the Lynchs are basically a second family for me and they don't mind me sticking around for a little while. I hear the door open and close and then I am aware of Rydel sitting next to me on the bed and pulling me close and hugging me. I want to hug her back. I want this to be over. I want something in my life to go right for a change. But you know what they say: 'I want never gets'. "Hey don't worry, we are here for you Lucy" she whispers. "Thanks" I say quietly. "Could I be alone? Please?" I ask. "Of course. I'll call you for dinner" she answers. 

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours, oh,

And life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,

Who would have thought forever could be severed by...

...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well?

I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)

The ballad of a dove (oh, uh)

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls.

I finish as I hear a yell of "Dinner's ready!" I quickly regain some composure before making my way to the kitchen. Maybe they won't notice if I eat very little tonight. I think as I sit next to Riker and Ryland.
