Lucy's POV
"Today is the day!" I say softly to myself when I wake up on January 1st 2014. There is a knock at my door. "Come in" I say and Rose and Callie make their way into my room. They go straight to my wardrobe and grab the out fit that I had decided on wearing yesterday. Long sleeved red checked button up shirt, black skinny's and my black ankle boots. "It's going to be weird without you around Luce" Callie says as we pack my car and head to the airport. "Hey, I'll keep in contact" I reason. "You better bitch" Rose says. "Hey! Don't get all sassy with me!" I retort. We then burst out laughing.
We arrive at the airport and I get checked in before saying one last goodbye to the girls. "I'll call you when I get to the house okay?" I say as I reach the area that leads to the departures lounge. "Okay" Rose says. I turn and start to leave them. "Wait!" I turn back round and look at them "Remember to have fun okay?" Callie says. "Cal, I'm spending a year with R5. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun" I answer before heading into the departures lounge and then onto the plane.
I look down at LAX as the plane slowly lowers out of the sky and closer to the ground. I feel it bump onto the runway and then I am up and grabbing my bag and guitar from the over head compartment. I walk down the plane and head into the terminal, ready to meet my temporary family.
Riker's POV
I look around the terminal trying to find Lucy. I can't wait to meet her in person. She'll fit in perfectly with the rest of us. I feel a tap on my shoulder. "Riker Lynch I presume" a female voice says. I turn and am face to face with probably one of the prettiest girls I had ever seen. "Well you presume right Lucy" I answer. She puts her bags down and I take the opportunity to wrap my arms around her. I thought that she would freak out or something but almost immediately she hugged me back. "C'mon let's get you to your new home" I say when we break apart. I grab her suitcase and lead her to the family van. The journey home mainly consisted of me getting to know her better and just chatting. We get home and I help her out of the van. "Thanks" she says with a shy smile. "No problems" I answer before collecting her bags and leading her into the house.
Lucy's POV
Riker leads me into the house and shows me to Rydel's room. I put my luggage down and turn to him. "How's about I show you round?" He asks almost uncertainly. I smile. "Okay" I answer as he takes me on the tour of the house and backyard. We finish up in the living room. I open the door and am met by blackness. "Riker? What's going on?" I ask "Dunno" he replies. Suddenly I feel somthing behind me and my vision is covered. "What the?" "Ssshhh" Riker says in my ear as I hear a light get switched on. "One, two, three... open" he says while removing his hands from my eyes. I hold in a squeal as I see Ross, Rocky, Rydel, Ellington, Ryland, Stormie and Mark before me with a banner says 'Welcome to your new home Lucy!' I turn to Riker. "Did you...?" "Yeah" he said shifting his weight slightly. I almost throw myself at him. "Ooff" he groans as he takes most of my weight. We break apart and his hand gently caresses my cheek. "What?" "You're crying" "Oh... It's just that... Well... No one has every done this for me before" I answer sadly. Then the rest of them come over and embrace me in a group hug. "Finally there is another girl around" Rydel says as she leads me to the couch and we are handed some cake. I take a bite and close my eyes "Mrs Lynch this is amazing!" I say. She laughs slightly, "Sweetie you can call me Stormie... Or mom if you want to" she says fondly. "Okay Mrs-Mum" I correct. I look at Ross who is trying to stiffle a laugh "What?" I ask "Who says 'mum'?" he asks through small giggles. "That is just cause of my accent" I reason which shuts him up. After some time I excuse myself and say that I had to call my friends.
Ross's POV
I see Lucy make an excuse and leave. So I say that I was going to go to my room for a bit cause I had filming tomorrow. I walk past the bathroom and hear wretching. The door is open just a crack and I look in to see Lucy shoving her fingers down her throat and being sick. I decide to get Riker to talk to her about it cause I think he has a crush on her and she would most likely listen to him. I head back to the living room. "Riker? I have to tell you something" I say. He gets up and follows me into the hall way.
Riker's POV
"What is it Ross?" I ask when we are alone. "Basically I saw Lucy in the bathroom" "Perv" "Shut up" I look down slightly. "Anyway I saw her make herself be sick." Ross explains. I slowly make my way to the bathroom and knock. "Lucy, it's Riker. I'm coming in" I say as I start to open the door.
Lucy's POV
"Lucy, it's Riker. I'm coming in" I hear Riker say as the door opens. I quickly flush the toilet and rinse my mouth and use some mouthwash to mask the smell. The door opens and Riker comes over to me. Silently he takes my hand and lead me to the bath and sits us both down on the edge. "What is it?" I ask. "Where you just sick?" he asks. "Yeah..." I answer slowly. "On purpose?" he says quietly almost kindly in my ear. I feel the tears start to form in my eyes. I turn my head away from him. He can't see you cry I think. I feel him move closer to me and gently pull me into his chest. "Ssshhh... I'm here" we break apart. "Why would you do that to yourself?" "Because I'm not pretty..." "who told you that?" "My parents" I whisper.
Riker's POV
"Because I'm not pretty" she says. "Who told you that?" I ask softly "My parents" she whispers. I take a small intake of breath. How could anyone say that about her? "Lucy look at me" I say kindly. She refuses. "Please". Still nothing. "Let me see that beautiful face" I whisper, that got her attention she looked at me and I cup her face in my hands forcing her to keep eye contact with me. "Don't listen to them. You are incredibly cute, adorable, funny, beautiful.." I lean in so my face was inches away from hers "sexy" I whisper. She breaks out of my grip and leaves me on the bath. She looks at me "you think I'm sexy?" she asks shyly. I get up and join her "trust me you are absolutely gorgeous. And very sexy" I reassure "and I am going to do anything I can to help you." I add. She wraps her arms around me and I do the same with her. "I will try to fix you" I sing as we break apart and I lean in and gently bring our lips together.
Lucy's POV
When we break apart he leans sings the last line of Fix You before he leans in and brings our lips together. I stand motionless for a minuet. WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? KISS HIM BACK! I scream to myself as Riker pulls away. "Sorry" he mutter looking hurt, he starts to leave "wait" I say as he reaches the door. He turns round and I walk over to him and whisper into his ear "by the way your very sexy too" before I kiss his perfect lips. He kisses back and leans against the door while his hands move to my waist and mine snake round his neck and play with the hair at the bottom of his neck. I feel his toungue slide over my bottom lip asking for enterance which I gladly give him. He pulls me closer to his body and moans ever so slightly making me break the kiss and giggle slightly. He smirks at me and raises his eyebrow. There is a knock at the door and Rocky booms "Hey... Riker! Some people need to use the bathroom to!" Riker and I leave the door and he moves to the window and opens it. He climbs onto the sill and jumps down "c'mon" he whispers. I look down and hear the door open. I start to panic and my hands slip and I tumble out of the window. I wait for the impact on the hard ground but instead I feel Riker's strong arms around my body. I open my eyes and stare into his perfect hazel ones. "Thanks" I say quietly. He smiles "no problem" he asnwers as he carries me bridal sight into the house.
This was going to be the start of something very beautiful.
