Two Weeks Later *Nicole's pov*
Things were starting to get back to normal, except they weren't. On the outside everyone was acting back to normal my days went back to normal going to work seeing my friends and family but inside i didn't feel normal. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened back at the cottage, how i killed someone who may have had a wife and kids. How I only knew Luke's side of the story, he could of been the bad guy and the good people died. Maybe I was just over thinking like i usually do but this time the thoughts didn't go away, every single little thing reminded me of that day. I didn't know if anyone else could tell I was feeling this way but it was killing me slowly, i've ben depressed, i've had anxiety attacks, break downs but no one understood why. Luke has changed, he is always on edge, he thinks i need protected every single minute, he is content that i should quit my job. In a way my life hasn't went back to normal on the outside it is being controlled to look like it is, but it isn't.I think Luke forgets that i'm only 18 this is the time when i should be finishing school and going to university, going out partying and having fun. Instead I sit at home looking outside and imagining what I could be doing with my life.
"Are you okay"Luke said interrupting my thoughts as I watch the rain pour down outside the window.
"To be honest no, but it will blow over I just need to be alone" I reply. Luke just walked back out of the room, he use to make some effort if I was feeling down, but it seems like all his emotions have drained.
Later on i got a call from my old friend Alexandra (Alex for short) asking if I wanted to go out for dinner, with out hesitation I said yes. I left without telling Luke and met Alex at a local restaurant.
" hello stranger " she said as I came over and sat down across from her at a table. "Yeah it's been a while" I said .
" Like 6 months where the hell have you been I tried calling your flat over 10 times but every time no one answered?"she said.
I had no idea what I could reply to that with, I was trying to avoid thinking about it at all costs.
"I've just been a way a trip down south, I just got up and went, never told anyone, it was just a spur of the moment idea" i said with hesitation.
Could I really just go on lying about this for the rest of my life, people will want to know what I did where I stayed, ask for pictures that I took while I was there. Could I really tell such a big lie, I just wish it could all go away. I felt like crying but I couldn't because what would I tell Alex, why I was crying.

Later that night
I unlocked the flat door as quietly as I could, I had already taken off my high heels to avoid any noise. All the lights were turned off so I used the light of my phone to make my way to the living room, but the light was on I could see because the frame of the door was glowing. I opened the door and walked in and there on the sofa watching TV was Luke. He turned off the Tv and stood up in front of me looking very pissed off.
*Luke's pov*
"WHERE WERE YOU ?" I shouted.
"Out with Alex" Nicole said.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME , I'VE TOLD YOU, YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT SOMEONE THERE TO PROTECT YOU" -Luke
"SO WAIT I CAN'T LIVE MY LIFE WITH OUT YOU BEING EVERYWHERE WITH ME?" Nicole screamed.
"YES!"-Luke
"THEN WHY WEREN'T YOU THERE WHEN THAT LIAM GUY ATTACKED ME, OR WHY DIDN'T YOU COME BACKEARLIER IN THE COTTAGE. WHY DID I HAVE TO KILL A GUY ON YOUR BEHALF TO SAVE MYSELF. WHY HAVE I HAD TO BE DRAGGED ALONG BECAUSE OF YOUR DECISION TO BE IN A GANG OR GET A GUY PUT IN JAIL. WHY HAVE I HAD TO GIVE UP MY WHOLE LIFE FOR YOU WHY LUKE , WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING EXPLINATION FOR THIS WHAT WILL MAKE THIS BETTER ................ NOTHING!" SHE SCREAMED.
"IF YOU ARE SO FEED UP WITH HAVING TO DEAL WITH ME , YOU CAN JUST LEAVE" when the words left my mouth I regretted it straight away.
"Do you know what, I will, never try to talk to me, never contact me in anyway. I'm moving on in my life and this time with out you, it's been nice knowing you Luke Hemmings." and with that Nicole walked out and left.
She was gone and she wasn't coming back.....
