Lie To Me

Riley’s P.O.V.
*the next morning*

I woke up on Luke's chest. He looked down and smiled.
“Hello, fiance.” he smiled.
I looked to my left hand and lifted it up. The light hit it just right. I couldn't help but smile, “Morning fiance.” I replied.
“How did you sleep?”
“Well I thought last night was a dream.” we both chuckled a bit, “What happened after I said yes anyway?”
Luke smiled, “I know we went to celebrate, but I couldn't tell you more than the gnarly headache I woke up with.”
“That explains everything.” I laughed.
I lifted my chin to meet Luke’s face and kissed him gently. He smiled as I pulled back.
“Mmm.” he hummed. “I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too.”
“What would you like to do today?”
“I wouldn’t mind going home.” I chuckled, “I practically saw the whole city and I miss my family.”
“You know they’re in Australia, right?” he sweetly reminded me.
“Right... Well, we could just go back to the states and facetime them?”
“We definitely can.” Luke smiled, getting out of bed. “Would you like to join?”
“I’d love to.” I smiled, joining him in the shower.

*The next day*

The lot of us crashed at Luke and I’s house when we arrived home. When I woke up the whole house was still asleep. I made my way to the kitchen to begin cooking breakfast. A quiet knock occured at the front door. I waltzed over to answer it. The familiar face hit me like a train.
“Sam?” I questioned, “What are you doing here?”
“Is Luke home?” she practically whimpered.
“He’s asleep. What are you doing here?” I persisted.
“I-- I just really need to talk to him.” she continued.
I laid my left hand on the frame of the door. “There is nothing left to say for you two. It’s over.”
“Riley... You don’t understand.” She replied, glancing at the ring and looking away.
I felt bad for being so rude, but everything about her screams trouble.
“Look, I’m sorry for being so rude, but I am finally happy-- we are finally happy. I’m begging you not to mess this up.”
“I’m not trying to. Please.” She begged, a tear falling down her cheek.
I stepped back and let her in. As I shut the door, we walked into the kitchen together.
“Would you like breakfast?”
She nodded politely and sat at the island.
“Everyone should be waking up soon, I’m sure.”
“Riley.”
“Hmm?”
“I’m sorry for everything. For years ago, and for what just happened.”
I smiled to myself before turning around, “It’s like I said, it’s over.”
She half-smiled and began picking at her nail polish. Before I could say anything else, another knock was at the door. “Could you watch the food? I should get that.” Sam smiled and took over.
As I opened the door I couldn’t even imagine who would be next.
“Hunter.” I gasped.
“Riley.” He smiled, then looked to my hand. His smile dropped. “So, it’s true.”
I nodded. “What are you doing back in town?”
“Running away.” He joked.
“From your very pregnant secretary turned fiance?”
He smiled, “Yeah.”
“Come in. This morning is already interesting.”
“Oh?” he questioned stepping in.
I lowered my voice, “Luke’s latest fling showed up right before you.”
“Oh boy. I have to see this.”
We walked back to the kitchen and finished making breakfast. As everyone woke up and flooded in the gave Sam a questioning look and asked me what she was doing here. When Luke walked in his fist clenched, “What the hell are you doing here, Sam?”
“I need to talk to you.”
“There’s nothing left to say.”
“Luke.”
“Sam, you should go.”
“Luke.” I snapped. “Sam, how about you two go out back and talk?”
Another tear fell to her cheek as she rushed outside.
“Riley, are you sure?” Luke asked, I could feel everyone staring.
“Yeah, but keep your hands to yourself this time.”
“We’ll all be watching.” Sarah scowled.
Luke hurried outside and we all took to slyly watching from the screen doors.
“Speaking of what people are doing here...” Ashton trailed.
“Hey man, just checking on RIley.”
“She’s fine.” Ash grilled.
“Ashton.” I smiled, “He’s running away from his life. Calm down.” I chuckled.
Ashton backed up and turned his attention back to Luke and Sam.
“This looks heated.” Michael spoke.
“Extremely.” we all replied.
“What do you think they’re saying?”
“Maybe if we all shut it and listen close we’ll know.” I smiled.
Unfortunately I was wrong, we couldn’t hear a damn thing. It didn’t take long for Sam to run off crying and Luke to storm back in and rush past us all. He plopped on the couch and ran his fingers through his hair. We all gathered around him.
“Luke?” I asked.
He began sobbing uncontrollably.
“Riley.” he cried, my heart broke just from the sound of his cry.
“What’s going on Luke?” I spoke, sitting next to him and rubbing his back.
“She’s ruining my life.” he cried again.
“What did she say?”
“She’s-- She’s pregnant.”
I could feel myself ready to throw up. The room was spinning. Everything was going black as my heart broke.

Sorry for not updating sooner, and for this being so short. I've just been super depressed and down about my writing. Thanks as always for reading.
