Girl Meets Season 5

Episode 15 - Girl Meets a Single Moment Pt.1

----------

They hadn't known that she had left, she just wanted to go for a walk, Lucas said that he was going to surprise her with something. It sounded like something out of a movie, and she was excited about it, but he wanted to ski first and she hadn't wanted to chance it because she was afraid of getting hurt. So she went for a walk, but the world wanted to torture her.

"Somebody help me," she screamed out.

----------

It was lunch time by the time they had reached the resort, they all had lunch before they got to their rooms, Riley was given her own room on the other side of the resort. Her father didn't want her anywhere near Lucas, so her parents' room was next to Lucas's room. While Riley's room was next to Josh, Farkle and his parents, Maya shared the suite along with Smackle and Cassie.

"My dad is crazy," Riley said sitting on the couch in the sitting room.

"That he is," Cassie said sitting next to her. "It's almost as if he thinks you and Lucas are going to do something crazy."

"He thinks they're going to have sex," Smackle said.

"She's not wrong about that," Maya said looking at her. "Not that Riley would do something like that before marriage."

"Maya," Riley yelled out.

"Yeah well we're all thinking it, so it doesn't matter, we're all in relationships Riles, eventually it's going to happen," Maya said to her smiling.

"Can we not talk about this," Riley said before getting up and going to her room her face flushing from the conversation they were having.

She wasn't sure about sex, she knew that she wanted to wait, and yes maybe it won't happen until she got married but it shouldn't matter what they thought. She sighed as she walked through the door only to hear her phone beeping, to the sound of a cowboy, it was Lucas, she had put different ringtones for all of her friends, but his was something they had picked together.

Dinner, you and me tonight?

She smiled at the message, how are we going to have dinner if my dad is keeping us apart?

Her phone beeped, don't worry it's out in the open they'll see where we are.

Her phone went off again before she could reply, Plus I have someone on my side.

Who's that? she replied.

Your mom, your brother and Ava.

Riley laughed at the message, her father could try to keep them apart but in the end she had allies, and her mother thought her father was being too overprotective especially now that she was graduating from high school.

Okay, she replied smiling. She dialed Lucas's number on her phone and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello," he said she could hear the smile on his voice.

"Hi," she said before laying down on the bed. "So does it feel like we're some weird version of Romeo and Juliet?"

"Somedays, your dad has Maya's parents near me, I'm bunking with Zay but it's still kind of weird," he said.

"So you want to have dinner?"

"Yes, but how?"

"The hotel has this sunroom, where you can see the stars, we're having dinner there."

"Sounds romantic."

"The rest of the details are a secret, a surprise."

"As long as it's under the stars, like the first day we became a couple it will be perfect."

"Okay, I'm going to ski for a while do you want to come with me?"

"Nope," she said. "I'm going to go to the spa and maybe take a walk in the snow."

"Okay, just be back by six for dinner."

"Under the stars," she said smiling.

They hung up, leaving Riley to her thoughts, when she walked back outside there was a note on table. The girls had gone skiing as well, she was the only one who wasn't going to take the chance and go skiing. She didn't really care, as long as everyone was having fun it was going to be alright.

Riley spent sometime in the spa getting her nails done, and a facial just for fun before going out on a walk. The flurries were lightly coming down around her, she walked towards the path that led towards the lake, it should be iced over but Riley just wanted to see how the snow looked on the trees. It looked almost magical, unlike in the city where the snow melted too fast, or turned black because there were so many cars. She stood there and looked out at the wonderland in front of her.

That was the reason why she hadn't seen the root of the tree on the ground, it was the reason why she tripped over it. Her foot hit the root, making her tumble forward down the nearby hill and into the bank of snow at the bottom. Somewhere down the hill she cut her head, her leg twisted in an odd angle and hurt like the dickens.

And she was alone.

------------

"That was a lot of fun," Maya said smiling at them as they walked through the doors.

Lucas looked at his friend but felt like that there was one thing missing from it all, and that was Riley. He needed to get ready for their dinner, he had asked Farkle for help when the trip had been proposed because he knew that there was no way that he would be able to find a room like that anywhere.

The sun room was actually a part of a green house filled with flowers so he thought that it would be perfect for dinner, even if it was just a plain picnic but him and Riley never really cared about going to big fancy restaurants, their dates were always something that they would both enjoy.

"Hey have you guys seen Riley?" Mr. Matthews said walking towards them.

"No not since we left to go skiing," Maya answered. "We left her in the room, and she wouldn't go skiing anyway because you scared her for life."

"She's not in her room," he said looking around at the teenagers. "The front desk told me she went out over an hour ago."

"She told me that she was going to go to the spa, and then for a walk," Lucas said looking at his girlfriend's father.

"It's started snowing again a while ago and they're talking about it being a really bad storm," Farkle said looking at them.

"We'll have the front desk call the patrol unit to see if they can find her, but it's getting dark out there," Mr. Matthews said but Lucas's ears felt as though they were being filled with water.

Everyone around him kept talking but he couldn't hear a thing all he could think about was the fact that Riley was out there alone in the dark. He didn't know what to do, every instinct told him to run out there and look for her. Zay's hand was on him before he could move forward, everyone was looking at him worried because of Riley but also because they knew how he would react. They pulled him towards a couch and sat him down so they could talk, her parents, her brother, their friends, it was a second family to him and without Riley his heart wouldn't be the same.
