Chapter 4

"Wake up!!!" I hear someone yell as I slightly get shaken.

"What?!" I moan, trying to go back to sleep.

"It's beach day, baby." Luke smiles, laying down beside me.

I groan and cover my head back up, "Do we have to leave so early?"

"It's 10:43, babe." Luke says, slowly.

"Oh...well I'm still tired." I say, not moving from my spot.

Luke yanks the covers off of me, causing a burst of cold hair to hit my skin. Even though I was in shorts and a t-shirt it was still freezing.

"What the hell was that for?" I ask, angrily.

"You have to get up. If we don't leave now, we're never going to get a good spot on the beach." he says, sounding more aggravated by the second.

"Fine..." I roll my eyes, getting out of bed.

"Thank you." He smiles, knowing that he won this argument.

I walk into the bathroom dragging my suitcase with me. I pull out my lavender bikini and a blank tank top. I figured I should probably wear one to cover the bruise, just so people don't think my boyfriend abuses me.

~~~~~

We get to the beach around 11:45, Luke decided I did't need to put any make up on or even do my hair. I was a little frustrated about it, at first, but I soon got over it.

While Luke is setting up the umbrella I decide to go down to the water. Just the sound of the ocean makes me feel better. I very much missed home, traveling all the time just isn't my thing. The waves hit my ankles as I step into the water. I take a deep breath and let it out when suddenly someone crashes into me. A few profanities and mouth full of water later I realized it was Luke.

"What the heck was that for?" I yell, trying to stand up.

"I was just messing around with you, sorry...." he says, putting his hands up in defense.

"Well next time I would prefer a little warning." I say rather aggravated.

"What's gotten into you?" Luke asks, sounding a little worried.

"Nothing." I say, crossing my arms over my chest.

Luke gets out of the water and starts walking back to the towels he had laid out. I don't know why I keep going off on him, I guess Ashton has just pushed me over the edge. I decide I should probably go apologize considering that was very rude of me.

I begin walking back to the towels and umbrella where all our stuff was.

"Luke, I didn't mean to go off on you, I'm sorry." I say, sitting down on the towel next to him.

"It's okay, Jess, I shouldn't of just jumped on you like that." he says, rubbing my back.

"No don't apologize, please." I say putting my head in my hands.

A few tears fall but not noticeable enough for Luke to see. I pull my knees to my chest and take in a shaky breath.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Luke says, wrapping an arm around me.

I flinch, slightly, from him touching my bruise that is covered by the shirt I decided to wear. He lowers his hand so it rests on my hip.

"I don't know, that's the thing. Something just feels off....Luke." I say, letting my sadness show.

He wipes a tear away and pulls me closer to him, "It's probably because of Ashton, the way he's been treating you is not fair at all."

"I just....I'm scared to even go home but I know that I have to once my mom gets back from her business trip. I don't know why he's acting like this he has always been so mean towards me and I think it's because he blames me for dad leaving." I cry into Luke's chest.

"That is not your fault at all, Jessica don't even say that." Luke says, sympathetically.

I wipe my tears away, "But it is my fault, he left right after I was born. I was probably an accident, he didn't even want to deal with me."

I look up into Luke's eyes and I see a few tears fall, "Jess....it's not your fault. I am so sorry you feel that way. I just need you to know that you are not at all an accident because I know if I didn't have you I would be beyond lost. You are here for a reason so don't even think for a second you are irrelevant. I love you Jessica Grace Irwin." 

A smile creeps onto my face and butterflies erupt in my stomach, "Luke, you are incredible. I am so beyond thankful that I have you. I love you so much."

He wraps me in his arms, tightly, as if he never wants to let go. I let out a small giggle from his clingyness but I secretly love it. He falls back onto the towel, pulling me with him.

"You wanna know something?" Luke smiles, propping himself up on his elbow beside me.

"Mhm." I say, nodding quickly.

"You are the most beautiful girl in the world." He says while pressing a kiss to my forehead.

"Thanks, Lukey." I smile and return the kiss.
