My Sexy Roommate [Rucas Fanfiction]

[Chapter 15] The Truth

Riley's POV:

(Rewind)

"I have" Lucas sighs shaking his head and scratching his back "I have bipolar disorder" He looks down at his feet and looks up at me waiting for my reaction.

I hear the door slam open and in comes Joe "I see my little brothers secret is out" he chuckles and winks at me "Lucas Friar, diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder at fifteen. Our mom doesn't know, only Meghan and I know" he smirks

"What's going on?" I asked shocked

"I'll explain every–" Lucas gets cut off by Joe waving his hand in his face.

"Riley I'll explain" Joe grabs my hand and leads me out the door.

"Joe!" Lucas growls clenching his fists, and I swear to god I saw smoke coming out of his ears.

"Shut up..." Joe growls picking me up bridal style and running. He runs with me in his arms, through the parking lot until we reach his car.

"Joe? What the fuck?" I struggle to open the car door. "Let me out!" I hiss and he tries to call me down while sitting in the driver seat.

"I'll explain everything to you and the truth!" He grabs my wrists and make me look at him.

"I want Lucas to explain to me everything. Let him ex–" he cuts me off.

"No! Lucas is just going to lie to you like he does to others." He shakes my shoulders "Riley, Lucas has a girlfriend" I think my heart just broke into millions of pieces.

"What?" A tear falls from my eye.

"He has a girlfriend named Savannah. Riley, he just wants to get you in bed. He told me that since the day we both met you. He tells me that everyday." I feel a sharp pain in my heart and I slowly start sobbing.

How could he?

"Riley?" He coos running his hand through my hair but I slap it away.

"Unlock t-the car door" I wipe my tears away. My face is probably red from the tears. "Let me out" I hiss and push him away. He unlocks the door and his face softens as I run away from his car.

I run but my feet are about to give up. How dare he kiss me when he has a girlfriend! It's my fault for being stupid anyways, I should've never trusted him.

I am about to collapse on the floor when muscular arms prevent me to. I recognized that smell of cologne. Lucas...

"Get away from me you jerk" His hands remain on my sides while I struggle to punch his chest. "Riley please listen to me" His face softens "Whatever Joe told you is a lie" He hugs me and I struggle to get out of his grip.

"So you having a girlfriend is a lie!?" I ask and he immediately holds guilt in his face "Yeah I didn't think so" my fists clench up.

"Riley? Please let me explain" He begs cupping my face and my legs give up. He catches me and holds me bridal style with my face buried in his chest. I quietly start to sob and want to punch him away but I can't.

Why? Why did I have to fall in love with my roommate.

I hear a door click and I know we are at our dorm. He sighs and places me on the bed but I refuse to make eye contact with him.

"Riley, please look at me" He runs his thumb from my cheek to my chin and I slap it away. "Just listen please" he gets in his knees and holds my hands.

"I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder when I was fifteen years old. That day Joe had taken me to the doctor and my mom didn't know, because Joe insisted in not telling her. The doctor said the treatment was really expensive and it sure was. The doctor said if I didn't get the treatment the longest I would probably live is eighteen, because I also had depression." He paused.

"When I was a senior in high school we didn't have any money for more treatments because we were going to college. Near the end of senior year I found out this really shy girl liked me, and her name was Savannah. I also found out that her mom was a specialist for people with Bipolar Disorder. I was desperate and thought maybe if we were dating her mom would help me with the treatment. I asked her out and of course she said yes, I felt terrible. Her mom ended up liking me for her daughter and after a few months dating I told Savannah that I was diagnosed with BD. Her mom immediately told me she would give me the treatment for free as long as I made her daughter happy. I've been keeping that promise for almost two years." He sighed and locked eyes with me. His face held guilt.

"Savannah is a nice girl, she's cute but not my type. She always would tell me she loved me and I finally told her the same thing even though I didn't mean it. I feel terrible for using her but I really didn't want to die at a young age. I'm sorry if I hurt you, if you probably don't believe me but this is the truth. The ugly truth of how my life is messed up."

He starts to tear up and I immediately reach over to hug him. He felt warm and he smelled so good. His muscular arms wrapped tightly around my waist and I feel tears on my shoulder. I run my hands through his hair to calm him down and he does. He cups my face with his hands and rests his forehead on mine.

"Riley, I don't like Savannah" He whispers "I never did and I probably never will" he smiles at me whispers again "I like you."

Before I knew it his lips were locked with mine, and it felt so right.
