Save Me

Chapter 11 - Suspicion

5:00 A.M., the alarm hasn't rung yet. Luke woke up; he saw Blake first thing in the morning. Luke stared at Blake's face; suddenly, Luke remembered Sheryn's question and started spacing off. Luke was deeply staring at Blake's face and questioned himself. "Do I really like him?." Luke kept staring at Blake for a minute; suddenly, Blake talked without opening his eyes. 

"I will melt, if you keep staring at me like that."

Luke flinched and immediately got up. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was spacing off."

Blake smiled and said. "It's fine, I like it."

Luke didn't hear what Blake said and asked. "Pardon?"

Blake chuckled and said. "Nothing, nothing."

Blake got up and Luke started preparing their breakfast. Luke and Blake were eating when Sheryn got out of her bedroom.

"Goodmorning, did you guys sleep well?"

Blake answered and said. "Yes, Luke's bed was very comfortable; I thought I wouldn't wake up on time but thanks to Luke, who kept staring at me. It woke me up."

Sheryn and Luke were surprised by what Blake said. Sheryn stared at Luke, grinning and said. "Ohhh, I see. Well then, hurry up and eat."

Hours had passed, before Luke and Blake left, Luke wore a mask to hide his bruises and eventually headed to the cafè. Dylan was walking when he saw Luke getting out of Blake's car and entering the cafè together with Blake. Dylan suspected something and followed them. Luke and Blake arrived at the campus and everything seems back to normal. Luke entered his classroom and saw Erina sitting on Luke's table. Luke walked towards Erina and said…

"Hey, do you need something?"

"Nothing, I just want to give you this." Erina handed Luke's empty wallet and said. "You dropped this yesterday when you were leaving with Blake."

Luke was surprised when he knew that Erina saw everything that happened yesterday. Luke took his wallet and thanked Erina. Hours had passed and the bell rang, Luke was leaving when he saw Dylan standing on his way. Luke headed to the other way, and suddenly, Dylan pulled his hair and said…

"Where do you think you're going? Can't you see the bruise that your boyfriend made to my face!?"

"What are you talking about?" Luke said.

"Stop denying, you faggot!"

Dylan pulled his hair and dragged him in the middle of the crowded campus. Luke fell on the ground and the students passing by were shocked. Dylan suddenly announced and said...

"Everyone, listen up! This faggot and Blake are dating! I saw them at the cafè this morning laughing like idiots! And Blake, that fucker kicked me in the face when he saw me holding his boyfriend's wrist."

Blake heard his name being yelled and checked what was going on, Blake saw Luke sitting on the ground, ashamed and crying. Blake was shaking because of anger and immediately grabbed Dylan by his collar.

"What the fuck is this!? Haven't I told you before that don't you ever touch Luke again?!"

Dylan smiled and said to everyone. "See? This fucker [Blake] is deeply inlove with that faggot!"

Blake was very mad until he lost control and punched Dylan in the face repeatedly. Luke was shocked and saw Erina watching Blake and Dylan fight from the building. Luke immediately stood up and tried to stop Blake. Blake couldn't calm himself down and kept hitting Dylan. Luke doesn't know what to do and he suddenly hugged Blake. 

"Come on, Blake, let's leave before the teachers came."

Everyone was shocked including Erina when they saw Luke hugged Blake to calm him down. Luke and Blake left, while Dylan was laying on the floor with his nose bleeding. 

"Why did you stop me?"

Luke stared down and said. "I don't want anyone to get hurt."

"Are you serious? Dylan's hurting you everytime he pleases, and you don't want him to repay you?"

Luke didn't know what to answer and saw Blake's wounded fist. "Your hand, does it hurt?" 

"Don't mind it, it doesn't hurt that much."

Luke kept quiet until they arrived at his [Luke] place.

"Do you want to come in? I'll treat your wounds, It's not that late anyway."

Blake took a second and came in with Luke. Luke was treating Blake's fist; suddenly, Blake asked. "Where's your friend?"

"Oh, she's overtiming tonight."

"Hmm, I see. What was her name again?"

"Sheryn, her name is Sheryn."

"That's a pretty name."

"I know."

Luke and Blake were quiet while Luke kept treating Blake's wounds, and then Luke suddenly spoke and said. "Do you want to stay over again tonight?"

Blake was shocked when he heard Luke's question and eventually answered. "Yes!"
