School flew by and next thing I knew we were driving home from school. I was kind enough to let Luke drive us home in my car every night and I drove every morning. I knew how much he loved my car and I loved to see him happy.
We got home and I had to work on some math homework because I was falling behind in class. Luke thought it would be funny to distract me.
"Come on Luke I need like 10 minutes then I will be free to do whatever you want!" I exclaimed as I was looking through my math textbook.
"Oh really now, anything I want?" He asked with a smirk as he wagged his eyebrows up and down.
That was it I had enough of him for today he was really getting on my nerves and it wasn't helping that it was that time of the month so I was even more cranky thank normal. I threw the textbook across the room and it landed right on his stomach as he was lying down on his bed.
"Ouch! What's your problem?!" He asked clinching his stomach.
"You!! Can't you see I'm trying to study. I tried to be nice with you Luke but you just won't stop I only need 10 minutes why can't you understand that?! I am behind in class and I really just need this time to study!" I yelled.
"Calm down Skyy, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?" He said with a smirk.
That was the last straw. I didn't answer I just walked downstairs and grabbed my keys and got in my car and sped off. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to be away from Luke for a couple if hours.
My phone started ringing in my back pocket and the ID was sure enough Luke. I hung up and shut off my phone. I needed my space for awhile.
After driving for about 30 minutes I pulled up to this little diner just outside of town. My stomach was growling so I decided to get something to eat.
After eating and getting back in my car 2 hours had gone by. I figured I should go back to Luke's house. I was calmed down and hopefully he wasn't being an asshole anymore. I was still behind my in math thought, which I wasn't happy about.
I pulled up to Luke's driveway and I noticed his parents weren't home they must have had to work late night shifts. As I got out of my car Luke was running out the door looking pissed off and a little worried. Oh great.
"Where the fuck were you?!" Luke yelled.
Oh yea he was mad.
"I had to leave for awhile to calm down you were driving me crazy" I explained.
"You could have at least answered my calls!! I thought you were dead in a ditch somewheres Skyy!"
"Luke I'm fine. jeez I was planning on coming back!!" I was starting to get pissed off with him.
"Fuck, you can't just run off Skyy!"
"You can't control me Luke! It's my life I'm aloud to go for a drive to calm down!!"
The next thing I new Luke's hand was coming towards my face and he slapped me on the cheek; hard.
I screamed and fell on the ground. I was in shock I can't believe he hit me. After everything I told him about my dad he had the nerve to hit me. I sat on the ground and the tears started to come.
Luke's face paled as soon as he hit me. He leaned down to me and tried to take my hands in his but I pulled away and whimpered.
"Skyy you have no idea how sorry I am I don't know what came over me. I would never hurt you on purpose."
I stood up and walked over to my car and got in.
"Just leave me alone Luke, I was fine before you came around."
And with that I pulled out of Luke's driveway and headed somewheres far away from his house.
I went to the mall and used my bank card to buy some clothes. I would be living in my car until I figured things out. I was defiantly not going back to Luke's house.
I fell asleep in my car that night and set my phone alarm extra early so I could get to the gym locker room to have a shower before classes started.
Luke had called me over 30 times and left 10 voicemails but I refused to talk to him. What he did was unforgivable.
Classes started and I avoided Luke. I saw him in the hallway but I averted eye contact with him and just stared at the ground.
During lunch I went out to my car to sit for some peace and quiet. I must have dozed off because next thing I know someone's opening my car door and sitting in the passenger seat.
I looked over and sure enough it was Luke. Why can't he just leave me alone? He looked like shut actually. He had bags under his eyes and it looked like he had been recently crying. Why would he be crying.
I just sat there looking out the windshield waiting for him to talk. After a few minutes he broke the silence.
"Look Skyy I know you hate me right now and probably don't want to talk to me but I need you to understand that I'm so sorry. I couldn't sleep last night because of what I did to you. I feel so guilty and you have ever right to hate me but-"
I cut him off before he could say anymore.
"Look Luke I don't want to hear about it. I thank you for looking after me and taking care of me, but what you did was unforgivable, now I suggest you leave now and don't turn back. It's what's best for you and I"
"B-But I don't want to leave you"
He really wasn't making this easy for himself it I.
"Get out now" I said harshly.
I looked over and I saw he had tears running down his cheeks. He slowly turned to open the door and got out.
I felt bad for making him cry, what am I saying I shouldn't be feeling bad after what he did to me.
Yes but he did apologize my conscious told me.
Dammit I can't do this. As soon as Luke got out of sight I started balling for what felt like forever. Then I drove off. I was skipping the rest of the day today.
*************************************
It had been two days since Luke hit me and I was still living in my car and showering at school. I avoided Luke as much as I could. It seemed like he was doing the same. But I couldn't help but notice him staring at me during the classes we had together. Every now and then I would look over to him and he looked completely broken.
After school I decided to stay and have a shower today rather than in the morning so I could sleep in a bit. It's not like I was getting much sleep anyways. I kept having dreams about my father and my car was defiantly not comfortable to sleep in.
As I was walking out of the locker rooms from my shower I felt someone grab my wrist. I turned around to see Ryan.
My stomach did a flip at the sight of him and not in a good way. Last time I seen him he tried to rape me.
"Hey Skyy. You're not looking to well"
He was right I probably looked horrible. I had only been eating crackers the last couple of days and my skin looked much more pale.
"What do you want Ryan?" I said sounding totally drained, because emotionally I was drained.
"You know what I want and I'm going to get it now that you stupid little boyfriend isn't around." He said
I gulped and took a few steps back.
"H-he's not my boyfriend, he's an asshole just like you and everyone else in this world"
"Oh come in Skyy there's no need to be scared of me. After all we've been through"
He came closer so his mouth was hovering over my ear.
"You're going to enjoy this one Skyy" he whispered
Before he could do anything else I brought my knee up to his sensitive area and he yelped in pain. I took that as my chance to escape. I ran out of the gym and towards the parking lot where my car was.
As I got to my car I noticed someone leaning against the hood of my car. It was Luke.
I stopped running and walked over to the trunk of my car, ignoring Luke. I threw my bag into the trunk and shut it.
"S-Skyy?"
Luke's voice sounded broken and sad. I wanted to feel bad but I couldn't. I just couldn't. I didn't face him and just got in my car and pulled away from Luke and off to anywheres far away from him and Ryan.
I was starting to get hungry. Probably because I needed food. I headed to subway to get a sub. This living in a car defiantly puts a beating on my bank account. If I don't figure something out soon I'm not going to have enough money for college.
After eating at subway my phone started ringing and of course it was Luke. I picked up because I wanted him to stop calling.
"Hello?"
"Skyy, I can't believe you picked up"
"What do you want?"
"I-I uhm can you just come to my place to talk?"
"I can't Luke, I really can't. You should just stay away from me. It was bound sooner or later that you would leave like everyone else does so I'm just helping you along by leaving"
The line was silent for a few moments then I heard what sounded like crying on the other end.
"Luke? Are you crying?" I asked quietly
"Y-Yes. I need to tell y-you something so c-can you just please come to my place. Than if you still hate me you can walk away forever and I won't bother you ever again"
Then I heard him totally break down. He was crying so hard. For me? I felt bad I know he was beating himself up for hitting me so I guess I owed him to go to his place and explain.
"Okay Luke calm down. Don't cry please. I'll be there is 20 minutes."
I then hung up because I couldn't stand hearing Luke fall apart over the phone.
****Luke's P.O.V****
She actually agreed to talk to me. I've never been so happy in my life. She had no idea how much I've been beating myself up about laying a hand on her. I felt like a monster. After everything she's opened up about and trusted me, and I do something so stupid because I was mad. I'm such an idiot.
I think I'm falling for Skyy, no scratch that I know I'm falling for her. She is the most important person in my life and I need her back. I have no idea where she has been staying. Maybe she has a relative to stay with.
It doesn't matter I'm going to confess my feelings for her and get her back. I just hope she can forgive how much of an ass I am.
I love her.
****Skyy's P.O.V****
As I pulled into Luke's driveway I felt really nervous. What if he hits me again? What if he's just like my father. Maybe I shouldn't have come here. It's kind of too late to turn around now.
I walked up to knock on The front door but it opened just before I knocked and reviled a really tired looking Luke. He has bags under his eyes and they were all bloodshot. I could tell he'd been crying.
"Skyy"
That was enough for me to start crying. I didn't exactly know why I was crying. I guess because I hated seeing Luke look so broken. I did miss him too but after what he did I lost most of my trust I built up for him.
He tried to pull me into a hug but I flinched thinking he was going to hurt me.
Sadness flashed in his eyes and he dropped his arms and didn't hug me. I was kind of glad because I didn't want to be touched right now.
"C-Come on in... P-Please" Luke said barley above a whisper.
I walked into the house and followed Luke upstairs into his room. Luke's parents must not have been home. They weren't home much with their jobs I noticed.
We walked into his room and he sat on the edge of the bed while I stood awkwardly. It was weird because all my stuff was still in his room. I thought he would have thrown it out.
"Y-You can sit down too if you want" Luke said.
I went and sat on the opposite end of the bed from where Luke was because I was scared to get too close to him. He moved closer and tried to take my hand in his but I couldn't help but flinch.
He dropped his hand and stared at the ground.
"Look what I've done, I'm such a fuck up. You're scared of me"
"I-I'm not scared of you Luke i-it's just"
I didn't know what else to say because I was kind of scared of him.
"You have to know Skyy that I am never going to hurt you again. That's a promise. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm so broken without you around. Please just come back home I will leave you alone. I just need to know you're safe. Where have you been staying anyways?" Luke asked
Oh great he was no doubt going to get mad when I told him where I was staying.
"I-I'm sleeping in my car and showering at the school"
Luke's whole body tensed and I saw his fist clenching and unclenching. He was pissed.
"God dammit" he muttered.
"It's not a big deal Luke. I'm fine"
"No you're not Skyy. Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to stay in your car all night? What if some creep came up to your car?!"
"I don't know Luke I didn't really have anywheres else to go" I exclaimed.
"You could have come back home I would have left you alone, as long as I knew where you were."
"Well I'm sorry I was scared to come back because I thought you were going to hit me again like my father!" I yelled
He flinched and I felt kind of bad for saying that. Luke was nothing like my father. I looked over to him and he had tears in his eyes. I came closer to me and my breath caught in my throat. What's he doing?!
"You're probably going to hate he after this but I need your trust back Skyy"
"W-what do you-"
Before I could finish my sentence Luke's lips smashed against mine. I instantly melted into him. His lips were so soft and they made me forget all my worries in the world. I felt amazing. I then came back to reality and pulled away from Luke because I needed a breather.
He looked down into my eyes. He looked so scared and vulnerable at the moment. His face was so pale from the last time I'd seen him.
"Please forgive me Skyy and come back home. I won't ever touch you or even look at you again I just need to know your safe."
"I forgive you"
