Happy Rucas New Years

Discharge Pt 1

So it's another chapter with a little of a song but this time it's 'Don't Deserve You' by Plumb. So if you haven't heard it before than I highly suggest that you listen to it so you can understand how I planned this out. Lyrics are bolded for you to recognise where they are. Otherwise Enjoy!

"So, the doctor says everything looks fine. So as long as you follow the guidelines," she looked at Lucas who nodded, "and relax for some time. You will, I mean can be released at about, two thirty. Okay?" The nurse checked Riley's vitals and left the room. She got up from the bed and went to sit by the window. Lucas followed her movements. She turned around.

"I'll be fine Lucas. I promise. Come sit with me." She patted the chair across from her. "Where did everyone go anyways are they in the waiting room?" Lucas shook his head.

"They went home Riley. Farkle had his Job computer at our house, so he's there. Smakle and Charlie are at Maya and Josh's. Josh is there with them. Maya stayed here all night." Riley looked relieved at the detail he went into.

"Oh okay. Where's Maya then? She should probably go home seeing h-how stress isn't good for the baby." Lucas nodded and went to find her. "Lucas," he turned around, "can you get me a coffee?" again he nodded and left to find Maya and get Riley a coffee.

Riley turned back to the window. "Why, isn't this relaxing me?" she started to get frustrated. She got up and walked back over to the bed and sat down. she looked at the table next to the bed and saw Lucas's phone and his earbuds. She had a habit of listening to his recently played songs. She unlocked the phone and put in a earbud. She played the most recent song.

After the song was over she let a tear fall then found her phone and downloaded the song. Lucas smiled from the doorway with Maya staring at her best friend in disbelief. Riley got up and Lucas hid, she though he didn't know and he wanted it to stay that way. Riley saw Maya and invited her in.

"Peaches was Lucas with you?" Maya shook her head. "Oh, good. He doesn't know I do that, at least I hope not. He might get upset or think I don't trust him. All I do is listen to his most recent song I do trust." Maya put her hand on Riley's shoulder. "Anyways I think you should go home and rest up more, on your bed." Maya nodded and gave her a hug. She pulled herself up and walked out the door.

"See ya later Maya." Lucas said as he walked in with two coffees. Maya gave him a hug and continued to waddle out. Lucas handed a coffee to Riley. "So you're getting discharged at two I talked to Dr. Slim."

"Okay, hey um when I get discharged in," she looked at her phone, "two hours." She waited til the shock had settled. "Let's just go home, okay. I'm tired." Lucas nodded and left to go get food for them. She put in both earbuds and listened to 'Don't Deserve You' by Plumb.

You're the first face that I see

And the last thing I think about

You're the reason that I'm alive

You're what I can't live without

You're what I can't live without

She laid back and closed her eyes. Lucas saw her and set her food on the table. He sat in the chair by the window and started on his sandwich.

You never give up

When I'm falling apart

Your arms are always open wide

And you're quick to forgive

When I make a mistake

You love me in the blink of an eye

She let a tear leak from her eye. This song was her favorite when she was in middle and high school. Those years where she knew she loved him but she still gave her best friend a chance at happiness. It was okay though, she thought that a new perspective was what she needed to realize just how much she loved him. Truly loved him.

I don't deserve your love

But you give it to me anyway

Can't get enough

You're everything I need

And when I walk away

You take off running and come right after me

It's what you do

And I don't deserve you

She stopped the song there. She couldn't listen any further without Lucas worrying about her. "Hey." Lucas looked up. Her eyes were still closed and he was almost positive she hadn't opened them.

"Hi, how are you feeling?" He stood up.

"Fine, don't you want to know how I knew you were here?" She opened her eyes.

"Hmmm, You looked?" Riley shook her head. "You...heard me?" She shook her head again, "Then what?"

"I… nevermind. What time is it?" Lucas looked at the clock.

"one thirty," He thought for a moment, best not push her, I'll ask later though "are you tired?"

"No, not really, just hungry" He handed the food on the table to her. "Thanks" He kissed her forehead before sitting back by the window.
