*The next night*

I finished the curls in my hair and touched up my make up.
“We’re just going to your parents.” Hunter spoke behind me.
“I know.” I replied.
“So who are you trying to impress?” I rolled my eyes and pushed my way out of the bathroom and downstairs.
“Really?” he scoffed.
“Get over yourself. I’m not going to do this all night. I haven’t seen my parents in what feels like forever because all I do is hide away in this giant house whenever you’re gone. I don’t need them to see how badly I’ve let myself go.”
He didn’t respond for a moment, “Sorry.” he finally said.
“Can we just go?” I crossed my arms at the door, he nodded.

Luke’s P.O.V.

I knocked lightly on the Jones’ door.
“Luke!” Mrs. Jones pulled me in for a hug.
“Hello. Good to see you again. These are for you.” I replied, handing her a bouquet.
“My favorite! I can’t believe you remembered after all this time.”
I smiled and walked in further.
“Luke! Good to see you.” Mr. Jones spoke, shaking my hand.
“You too sir.”
“Luke, we just got off skype with your mom. We miss her.” Mrs. Jones spoke, putting the bouquet in a vase.
“I miss her too.”
The door opened again behind me. The entire group flooded in except Riley.
The Jones’ eagerly greeted everyone, including Emma who was attached to Cal. Crystal joined Michael tonight and everything is as it used to be. The door opened once more and in walked Hunter and Riley. Ry had her hair curled to perfection; in her favorite floral skirt and midriff shirt. I lost my breath and my heart skipped a beat. Her ring was caught in the light and I caught my breath. Right. Don’t be so stupid, Luke. Not everything is as it was.
“Flying solo, Luke?” Hunter asked sternly.
“As Solo as Han.” I smirked.
“Star Wars... Funny. Except he had Leia. I’m sure you do that a lot with the ‘Luke... I am your father’.” He must think he’s fucking hilarious.
“The line is actually just ‘I am your father’, but I see where you’d find it easily confusing.” I turned for the dining room
“Settle down Lukey boy.” Sarah whispered.
“I am calm. I just hate when people misquote movies.” I whispered in reply. She chuckled a bit.
“Mom, these flowers are gorgeous.” Riley spoke.
“Luke picked them up for me.” she beamed.
Hunter shot me a glare as he walked Riley over to the table.
I carefully watched Riley settle into her usual chair next to her dad. She looked completely uncomfortable, almost as if Hunter made her skin crawl.

“Dessert anyone?” Mrs. Jones asked.
Everyone cheered and took a slice of her homemade pie.
“Now when you kids finish the fire pit outback is ready for you like the old times, but us old people are hitting the hay.” she joked.
We all got up to hug them goodbye, then finished the pie.
“Lead the way Ry.” Michael spoke, getting up from the table.
“Did anyone bring the booze like the good old days?” Cal asked.
“Gotchu.” Crystal replied, pulling the liquor out of her bag.
“Same.” Sarah replied.
“The real question is did anyone bring a guitar?” Riley asked.
“I always have mine in my car.” I replied, she smiled. Hunter gripped her hip and the smile faded.
We all sat around the fire and began pouring drink after drink. Soon everyone was completely gone, yet somehow we all got sucked into childish games. I could see the girls fading fast. We could all hold our liquor fairly well, but the boys were going fast.
“Michael, truth or dare?” Crystal asked.
“Dare!” he exclaimed.
“I dare you tooooooo streak.”
“No way!”
“Chicken!” We all yelled.
“Fine!” Michael quickly rid himself of his clothes, the girls screamed and the boys cheered.
When Mikey came back Sarah turned to me. “Truth or dare.”
“Truth, cause I’m not strippin’ down.”
“Is it true that you still love Riley?”
My eyes, along with everyone else’s widened.
“Calm down, Hunter is in the bathroom.” Sarah added.
“Honestly?”
“Everyone nodded.
“I am truly, madly, deeply still in love with Riley. No one will ever compare to her. She is the love of my life.”
Riley blushed and everyone ooed and awed.
“What’d I miss?” Hunter asked.
“Truth or dare?” Riley asked him.
“Truth.”
“Are you as completely jealous of Luke as you come off to be?” she smirked, I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Riley..” Hunter spoke.
“Too much. I get that. Why do you want to push the wedding?”
“I’m not gonna play these games Riley.”
“It’s just a question, mate.” I butt in.
“We’re not mates, mate.”
“Alright boys. New game!” Emma popped in.
“I need another drink.” Riley spoke before Emma finished.

Riley’s P.O.V.

Hunter lightly grabbed my arm.
“This is what I mean. I have no idea who you are anymore.” he whispered.
“This is me. It’s always been me. Hunter, you found me broken and alone. The adventure in my life had disappeared along with my life with these boys. I haven’t felt this happy in so long.”
“Are you happier with them than me?” he asked, my heart slightly broke. In the silence he kept going, “I see the way you two look at eachother. That’s why I want to move the wedding up.”
“How would that change anything?”
“Maybe you would remember that you love me too.”
“Hunter--”
“Don’t. I’ll be flying out in the morning for another trip. Florida this time. Everything will be ready in Disney for the wedding if you choose to follow me, if not, I guess I’ll have my answer.”
He kissed my hand and left.
“Everything okay?” Luke asked.
“As much fun as I’m having here, could we go back to your place?”
Luke smiled, “Sure.”
We gathered everyone and all the empty bottles, then headed for Luke’s house.
The party continued amongst everyone there while Luke and I went to his studio downstairs.
“Want to hear a new one? It isn’t finished yet.”
“I’d love to.” I smiled. He hit the music and jumped in the booth. Luke’s voice hit me in ways I didn’t know it still could. I felt things for him I only feel in the bedroom.
“Youngblood say you want me, say you want me out of your life so I'm just a dead man walking tonight cause I need it, yeah, I need it all of the time youngblood say you want me, say you want me back in your life so I'm just a dead man, I'm crawling tonight cause I need it yeah, I need it all of the time”
“Wow.”
“Wow, good or bad? It really isn’t finished.”
He stepped closer to me. “Kiss me, Luke.”
“Riley.”
“Please.”
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. His lips hit mine and it was like ecstasy. I couldn’t get enough. He pinned me against the wall and lifted my skirt. I quickly undid his pants.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
“Seriously? You ask that now?” I laughed, he aggressively continued with love bites along my neck. I moaned.
“Riley!” Sarah called from the top of the stairs.
“Shh. If we ignore her she’ll go away.” Luke spoke in between kisses on my thigh.
“Riley Ann. I will come down there and see stuff I probably don’t want to see if I have to.” Sarah yelled again.
I put my finger to my lips and grabbed Luke’s hand. I pulled him into a closet and locked that door.
“Ooh, this one’s soundproof he smirked and went down on me.”
“Oh my!” I yelled in pleasure.
***
I woke up next to Luke in the cramped closet the next morning. “Crap.” I sighed. I made my way out, trying not to disturb him. I quietly made it out of the house and over to mine. There was a note on the counter. ‘Remember my offer. -H’

I ran up to my room and started packing.
--
Sarah’s P.O.V.

“Riley? Are you home? You didn’t answer any of my texts.” I walked through the house to the kitchen. There was a note.
‘Sar, please tell him I am so sorry.’
I dropped the note and rushed to call Riley. No answer.
“Son of a bitch.”
I ran back to Luke’s. “Ashton, I need your help. Have you heard from Luke?” I asked.
“No, none of us have. We even checked the studio”
I handed him the note, “I can’t tell if she’s talking about Luke or Hunter in her note. She’s just gone.”
“The boys will keep trying to get ahold of Luke. Don’t worry.”
“I’m already worried.” I replied.
“I know, but I’m sure she’s okay.”
“She’s not okay. She’s crazy. She’s either going to ruin her life with telling Hunter everything. Or ruin every chance of getting back with Luke.”
“Wait-- They’re a thing again?! Thank God.”
“Ashton! You’re so oblivious!” I snapped.
“Sorry, I just always loved them together.”
“Me too, but I don’t want her to slip into some sort of situation no one will recover from.”
I turned to my phone, but still nothing from Riley.
“Dammit, Riley.”
