My Life With Him

Him

"Are you crazy?!" Danielle exclaimed as she slapped my chest with a dissaporving frown while pointing her finger at me menacingly "You said you would tell her, Luke!" she groaned "Why haven't you?!"

"Because she's not ready to know!" I exclaimed and she shut her eyes to slits as she crossed her arms over her chest

"She's not ready, or you aren't?" she spoke and I said nothing "Got you there, haven't I?" she smriked and I threw my pillow at her, which she dodged with a laugh "Luke... you need to tell her." she said as she looked at me seriosuly "What if you change your mind and it happens sooner?" I flinched

"It won't." I snapped and her smirk deepened

"I said, what if." she clarified and I rolled my eyes playfully "I'm serious Luke, she needs to know before it happens. You can't just drop a bomb on her and then..." I shut my eyes tightly "When do you even plan on telling her?" she asked

"After graduation." I said and she laughed loudly, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow "It's in two weeks!"

"Yeah, that'll happen." she muttered sarcastically and I rolled my eyes

"I'm sick of talking about this Dani, change the subject." I groaned as I cleared my thoat and she shook her head

"Not until you tell her." she answered "She deserves to know, Luke."

"I know she does, but..." I sighed heavily as I ran my hands across my face "it'll crush her." I whispered and she scoffed

"And you think that when it happens it'll hurt less?!" she exclaimed and I shrugged softly "Why are you putting it off?" she whispered and I shrugged, after a few moments of silent she gasped loudly "Oh my God...." she exclaimed "you're in love with her."

"Aunt Jess..." I sighed as I walked into the kitchen as she was cutting away the ingredients of what looked like a salad "I need your advice."

"Oh, boy." she laughed "Be warned that your mother was better at advice tan I'll ever be." she said with a light laugh as I gave her a tight smile "Sorry." she muttered and I shook my head dismissively "What's on your mind?" she asked as she wiped her hands on a tablecloth and rested her hands on her hips. I glanced to my right and saw Avery was looking at us curiosuly with her elbows on the bar as she smiled brightly at me

"It's about Eleanor..." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck, she raised her eyebrows at me with a smile "I, uh..." I dragged on, the words still foreing in my toungue since I hadn't ever said it before

"What, Lucas?" she laughed lightly "You seem a little... different."

"What?" I laughed and she nodded

"What's on your mind?" she asked again with a slight laugh as she sat on the stool, motioning for me to do the same, I sighed heavily before speaking

"How did Uncle Robert tell you that he loved you?" I blurted out, she looked at me in shock before smiling widely but covering her grin with her hand "Oh no, I've made a mistake." I groaned as she looked at me with an excited smile

"Are you serious?" she whispered "Are you in love with her?" I nodded, a faint smile on my face "Oh my God, Lucas..." she whispered as her hand touched my forearm "this is... this is amazing." she laughed and I shook my head with a smile

"If I would've known you would make such a big deal out of it, I wouldn't ahve told you." I joked and she slapped my shoulder slightly with a cloth

"It is a big deal, Lucas!" she beamed "How are you going to tell her?" she asked and I shrugged

"That's why I'm here, asking for your terrible advice." I joked and she glared at me slightly

"Well, I really can't tell you that, Lucas." she said with a smile "You have to come up with that idea yourself." she winked before heacing over to Avery and picking her up in her arms, my sister chanting as she went up the stairs

"Lucas loves Eleanor, Lucas loves Eleanor, Lucas loves Eleanor!" I chuckled slightly as I shook my head with a smile.

God, I loved my family.
