Lost (Rilaya)

Chapter 5: A date?

        Riley's P.O.V.

Lucas and I sat on a park bench talking, well actually he was talking as I just nodded my head not really listening to whatever he was saying. He was saying something about some sports team when suddenly there was a sharp pain on the side of my head as something was thrown at me.

"oh my god!" Lucas said surprised standing up, and looking to see what hit me.

He picked up a Frisbee and then looked back at me 

"are you okay Riley?" he asked concerned 

"yeah I'm fine." I replied rubbing the side of my head. 

"I'll go get you some ice." Lucas said running off toward the snow cone cart 

"no, I'm fine!" I yelled toward him but he didn't hear me. I sighed sitting back down on the bench.

A few minutes later Lucas returned with the ice. He pressed it gently to the side of my head where I was hit, 

"I can do it." I said grabbing the ice out of his hands. 

"Right." he replied awkwardly letting me take the ice. We sat in a tense silence for a few seconds neither of us wanting to be the one to break it.

Finally Lucas spoke 

"Do you want to hang out somewhere without Frisbees, so that you don't get hurt?" I just shrugged 

"I don't know what would we do?" I asked, 

"We could go to the movies or go bowling, I'm fine with whatever." he replied smiling. 

"I guess the movies sounds good." I said, not really caring what we did. 

"Alright, the movies it is." he said as we both stood up, and started walking.

We reached the theater in about ten minutes, and then bought our tickets to see some action movie. 

"Do you want any popcorn?" Lucas asked as we passed the concession stand. 

"Sure." I replied pulling my wallet out of my pocket 

"No, I'll pay" Lucas said shaking his head. 

"Are you sure because I can pay for it." I replied not wanting to make him pay for me. 

"Yeah, it's fine Riley." he said getting in line. 

"I'll just get our seats then." I told him, gesturing toward the screening room 

"Okay." he replied.

I sat down in the dimly lit room, picking at a loose string on my sleeve to distract me as I waited for the movie to start. A minute or two later Lucas came and sat by be and handed me a small tub of popcorn. 

"Thank you." I said looking up from my sleeve, grabbing the popcorn. 

"No problem'" he replied. The lights shut off as the screen was lit and the trailers started to play.

Sometime about two-thirds of the way through the movie, there was some kind of fight scene going on when Lucas put his arm around me. Oh god, What do I don't want to hurt his feelings. But I also don't want to lead him on. I thought, I just decided to stay as still as possible hoping that he might retract his arm soon.

As the movie finally ended and the lights were turned back on, I stood up shrugging his arm off me and slightly stretching my legs from sitting for so long. Lucas stood up and looked at his phone, 

"We should probably head to your house, It's already 5:30" Lucas said putting his phone in his pocket. I nodded knowing my parents wanted me back for dinner.

We walked back to my house in silence, and as we approached my apartment door he spoke 

"I had a good time today Riley." he said smiling 

"I did to" I replied quietly looking for my keys. Suddenly I felt him cup my cheek and saw him lean in eyes closed. I just froze shocked but luckily my mom opened the door right before he was able to kiss me. 

"Riley, your back and just in time for dinner." she said giving me and Lucas both a weird look. "Lucas, do you want to come in?" she asked him 

"Um, n-no my mom wants me h-home." he said awkwardly tripping over his words. 

"Okay then, Bye Lucas." I said walking into my house, He just waved walking off red faced.

As I entered my house my dad asked 

"did you have fun today?" I just shrugged 

"I guess." I said walking over to the dining table where he and my younger brother sat. 

"what do you mean by you guess?" he asked using air quotes, 

"I just mean it was fine I don't know." I said not knowing what I was supposed to say 

"okay" he replied unhappy with my short answer.

The rest of dinner went by quietly, with just my brother talking about school and his friends. After dinner we just talked for awhile. I looked up at the clock seeing it was late, I got up and put my plate in the sink, and then headed off into my room to get ready for bed. After I had changed into some comfortable sleep clothes I sat in the bay window, reminiscing about all the meaningful talks, and all the laughs. I sighed remembering the last time Maya sat in this window with me.

I sat in the bay window with my laptop when my favorite blonde crawled in through the window 

"hey Riles" she said sitting next to me, 

"Maya!" I said happily setting my laptop to the side. Maya just smiled her perfect smile, 

"what were you doing?" she asked looking toward my laptop 

"oh, I was just typing an essay for English class." she nodded saying "

we have an essay for English?" I gasped 

"Maya, are you saying you haven't even started!" I asked shocked, Maya just gave me a sheepish grin."

I never pay attention how was I supposed to know." she said defensively.

I sighed, "

do you want to stay over so I can help you get started?" I asked. 

"I can't my mom wants me home by nine." she said.

"okay well let's go eat I said wanting to take a break from my homework. 

"Sounds good to me I'm starving!" she said rubbing her stomach. I just laughed holding her hand as we walked off into the kitchen for dinner.

I wiped my eyes not realizing I had started to tear up, it was hard to think about her without crying. I missed everything about her, her smile her laugh her ocean blue eyes that you could drown in, and her golden blonde hair that's as bright as the sun.

I just wished she was here to pull me into a hug and tell me that everything would be okay. But she's not here an I'm just left to sit in the bay window and cry alone....
