Dark Revenge

Chapter 5: I Don't Want to Lose You, Lucas

Lucas walked into the house, I couldn't help but notice he was breathing heavily like he was running. Then I remembered that I left him at school and left. I slowly walked down the steps, afraid to face him. I couldn't really see his face but he seemed tired, his back was hunched and his head down. I looked him up and down before stepping one more time. I did a double take, my eyes were too sore to notice anything the first time. I looked at his arm, it was drenched in blood. My eyes widened with fear, concern, and worry. Then my eyes went towards his shoulder. I gasped. He turned and looked at me. "I'm going to kill him for the both of us, Erica." I shook my head "NO! I don't want to lose you Lucas! I don't want to be separated from you, even for a minute, for a second." My vision blurred. He walked over to me and hugged me, "I love you, Erica," my tears still falling down. We kissed and my pulse raced finding a way to get our bodies crushed closer together. He pushed me away. "Jerry says your father is in California, now, and I am going to go there and find him. Its revenge for both of us." I shook my head saying no over and over again. He let go of me and walked towards the stairs. I grabbed his hand and whispered, through hiccups and tears, "I don't want to lose you, Lucas! I can't handle myself if you leave! I'll runaway again! Lucas! Listen to me!"He kept walking up the stairs with me scurrying after him. I grab his hand when we reach the doorway to his room. He looks at me. "Lucas, you're upset. You're not thinking rational. No one thinks right when they are emotional, don't do this please! I'm scared. I don't want to lose you; what don't you get about that!" I slam my fists onto his strong chest. I don't even realize I'm crying.
He grabs my hands; I stand there crying for a long moment. He pulls me in and hugs me tight. "I've thought this over, Erica." I look at him, my eyes blurring, "Obviously not long enough! Lucas!" he walked into his room and grabbed a bag from his closet. I walked behind him until he turned around and bumped into me, he turned quickly so more force was used. I landed on the floor. I looked at him, his eyes were sorrowful and he was shaking. He looked at me and said, "I'm sorry, Erica. It's not that I want to leave you, I don't, but I have to this!" I shook my head, "Lucas, you think you have to do this! You don't have to put yourself in danger!"He had his bag full of clothes now and he was going through his drawers. I couldn't stop crying.
"Lucas, I will hate you forever if you leave me right now!" I didn't know what came out of my mouth till they were out and it was too late for me to take them back. He looked up from packing his stuff, "Then you will have to hate me forever because I'm going to go." I couldn't believe it. Lucas never cared. I looked at him, bewildered; he walked towards his door leaving me on the floor of his room. I got up and race after him. He was standing by the front door now; I knew I had to try one more time. I grabbed his hand and turned him around with more force than intended. I hugged his neck and kiss his lips. After a long, passionate moment, he said the words I feared to hear, "Goodbye, Erica, my love." He opened the door and walked out. I held onto his hand as if my life depended on keeping him close to me. I was telling him, shouting at him, not to leave me; that I needed him now more than ever. I didn't care that Robert and Eric were staring; I knew everyone on the block was staring but I couldn't help but keep Lucas here.
He slapped my hand away. A lot of force was put into it. It ached and told the nerves in my legs to run inside my elegant home and get ice on it. Yet, I didn't want to. I planted my feet firmly on the ground and awaited Lucas's departure. He whispered something but I was too caught up in my depression to hear the words. I didn't realize I had whispered, "I love you," until they were out in the open. He got into his car and drove away. I watched him leave tears plastered on my face as if they were going to be there forever.
I walked inside in a daze. I just realized that I was extremely tired. I fell on my bed, how did I get here? My eyes wouldn't stop streaming up tears. I was lost in thought I hadn't realized when the world went dark and a bright light came into view. It was a dream. One I had the night I met Lucas. It was a vision of me and Lucas together with a girl at our feet. It was a dream I always wanted to come true, but I guess it's never coming true now.
