It has been two months since Riker and the rest of them left on tour. And I haven't heard anything from them. Seriously, no texts. No calls. No tweets. No Facebook. Nothing. I am sitting in math idly drawing random things on the back of my book because I had finished the work. "Lucy, have you heard from any of them yet?" asks Darcy after the bell rang and we made our way to the lunch hall. "No. Nothing." I reply as we grab some food and make our way to our seats. I quickly check my phone only to be met by the disappointment of still having no calls or texts from Riker. I sigh. "I just miss him. Before he left I kissed him. Oh my god, what if he hates me for that and he doesn't want anything to do with me anymore?" I say hurriedly as I think of the possibility of it. "Come on Lucy, it is not your fault. He is probably very busy" Maria says to me. I take a breath to calm myself. "Happy birthday Luce!" Robin who had a huge crush on me since freshman year and had never seemed to moved on from it said as he approached the table. "Oh thanks Robin" I reply and I flashed him a flawless smile that Darcy had taught me. He immediately went red and scurried off. We all start to giggle about it. "Did you see that?" I gasp when I had stopped laughing. "Oh my God Lucy!" They exclaim. "What?" I ask. "That was the first time you have laughed or been close to yourself in two months" they continue. "Well... That's something which I thought would take longer to happen. But that old Lucy is so over and done with." I say. Darcy then stands. "Lucy, you remember this song" she says before singing
This is the story or our first teacher
Shetland made her jumpers
And the devil made her features
Threw up her hands when our mom said our names
Embroidered all her stories with slanderous claims...
Me and Maria laugh again before joining in
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We all sang together not caring about the looks we got from people. Just as Maria was about to sing a new voice started.
This is the story of losing my virginity
I held my breath and the bed held a trinity
People like me make no claims to no mystery
But sometimes I feel like my sex life's all history
Yeah...
We look round to see the one and only Ross Lynch standing there with his arms outstreched as if to say 'here I am'. I smile before yelling "What sex life!" and then starting back into the song.
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
I'm not saying these events didn't touch our lives in anyway
But ah they didn't make the impression that some people say
Rocky and Rydel harmonise in pefect pitch with each other and I squeal seeing them."Come on Lucy your turn!" they say. I laugh before singing
This is the story of watching a man dying
Subject unpopular but I don't feel like lying
When I think of it now I acted like a sinner
I just packed my bags and I went for my dinner
I spoke the last line as I remembered back to my mum's death. Then a voice came from the door. It sang a lot slower.
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
I turn and a huge smile forms on my face. He was back. Riker was here. In the flesh.
It's over and done with
It's over and done with
I sing with him as I run and embrace him. Then the others join us and we complete the song. I look at Riker. Maria storms past me and slaps Riker square in the face. "What the heck was that for?" he asks, his voice going slightly higher than normal. "Not keeping your promise to stay in contact with Lucy" Maria pulls her arm back again but I grab hold of it. "Mar you don't have to do this. C'mon we gotta get to class" I say as I pull her out of the food hall.
My last period was a free so me, Maria and Darcy decided to leave school early (seeing as we were seniors we were allowed to do that). We made our way out of the school and to my car. We then drove back to my house (the Lynches). We make our way to the front door and I pull out my key and unlock it. "Hey, guys we're back!" I shout. I turn to the others "Darce? Mar? Where did you guys go?" I make my way up the stairs and open the living room door. "Hello?" I ask as I flip on a light before nearly jumping out of my skin as everyone chorused 'Happy Birthday Luce!' my face cracks into a huge smile as I enter into the room before being engulfed in a group hug. Soon people started to disperse and only Riker was with me. The nice thing was that he still had me in his arms and neither of us seemed intent on moving... Until Rocky pour some cold water over us. "What the!?" we exclaimed. "Rocky, you are dead!" I yell. "How you gonna get me Lucy?" He asks as he starts to leave the room. "Riker, Ross, Ellington... Kill Rocky for the birthday girl would you?" I whine. There is then a clatter of feet as the boys chase after each other. I quickly find a towel and dry myself off before Ross and Ellington come back in. To be followed by Riker having Rocky in a head lock. "Oh get him Riker!" Rydel says while I make my way over to them. "My hero!" I joke while wrapping my arms around Riker's neck. "Well what can I say?" He replies. "So what should we do?" Asks Darcy. "POOL!" We all exclaim before running off to change.
Twenty minuets later I walk out of the house with my bikini on, my towel wrapped around me and my hair tied in a ponytail. I see Riker over by the side of the pool. I put my things down but keep the towel around my body until I see him flip into the pool. Then I quickly remove the towel and flatten it onto a chair and lie on top of it. I watch Riker resurface from the water and shake the water out of his hair. "So is there some reason that you are perving on my brother?" Ross asks from behind me making me jump. "What? I-I'm not" I say regaining composure. He sits on the chair next to me. "Lucy, Maria told me that you like him" he said bluntly. Maria you are a dead girl. I think to myself. "Do you want me to talk to him for you?" He asks. "What s the point of that? He is with Amanda" I say looking back at Riker. "Yeah, well I think he would be better with you personally" Ross said. I smile slightly. "Could you? But don't make it obvious" I reply after a moment of silence. "Sure thing Luce, heck you are like a sister to me" he answers before leaving me and headding to the pool with his family.
