You Don't Know Me (Punk Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 41: The Dark Side

*LUKE'S POV*

I open the door to the backyard of Lacey's house. She's on the garden swing. With Daniel. He takes a wisp of her hair and that's the moment when I stop controlling myself. I run to them and pull him away from her. I throw him on the ground, sit on him and start to punch him again and again. When I feel someone tries to pull me off of him, I just push the person back. Then I realize that person was Lacey. I stand up and look at her. She is on the ground and looking at me. She's scared of me. She's afraid. I see it in her eyes. I crossed the line. I never wanted her to see this side of me. I don't know what to do or what to say. I just run away from there.

*LACEY'S POV*

I never saw him like this before. He was so furious and angry. Then it hits me, Daniel. "Daniel" I'm going to him. "Are you okay?" I ask and expect an answer. "Yeah, I'm good" he slowly sits. "Are you sure?" I ask and he nods. "You're staying here tonight. I'm not letting you go home like this" I say and when I look at him the black eye starts to slowly show up. We stand up and slowly walk into my room. He looks in a mirror "shit, your boyfriend is such an asshole" he says and touch his face. "He's not my boyfriend anymore" I say and he turns around. He raises his eyebrow "really? Just because he beats me up? Lacey, look" but I cut him off. "This is not about that he just beat you up. Okay, it takes its part, but it's about how angry he was. I was scared of him. I thought he was going to hurt me" I feel a hot tear streaming down my face. "Hey, don't cry beautiful" he says and comes closer to me and pull me into a hug. I feel his warm, I feel safe with him. "I'm sorry about it" I say and he shakes her head. "It's not your fault. It's his" he says and then place a kiss in my hair.

Well, I have to admit that when I'm with Daniel, it all looks so easy. On the other side, when I'm with Luke, everything gets complicated. Yeah, we had a lot of beautiful moments together, but everything was so hard with him. It seems like I made a wrong decision. Again. I'm pretty sure Luke knows he just crossed the line and that we're over. Whatever, I don't want to think about him anymore. I don't feel anything for him. Well, all I feel is anger. He screwed it up once again. But this was the last time. I'm sick of him. I'm sick of all of his lies and promises.

*LUKE'S POV*

Fuck. I fucked it up again. But this time I fucked it up so much, that it's going to be a miracle if I'll be able to fix this. I know I just crossed the line. I know it's over. Definitely. There's nothing in this fucking world which will bring us back together. "Fuck" I shout and banged to the wall with my fist. And then again and again and again and then once more and "LUCAS!!" my mum rushes into my room. "Sorry" I mumble. "What happened?" she asks me and I shrug. "Nothing" I say standoffishly. "Lucas, behave!" she says and I roll my eyes. "Lucas! Did you invite Lacey on tomorrow's barbecue?" she asks. Fuck. I forgot. I forgot about it just in the second when I saw him right next to her. "She's not coming" I say. "Why not?" she asks. "She's not my girlfriend anymore" I say and I hope she will let it be. "Why?" she keeps asking. "Because I'm an asshole. I don't deserve her" I shout. "Lucas, calm down" she orders "I'm sure you will work it out as you did before" she says and smiles. "I wish" I whisper for myself when I lie down on the bed. I turn my back to her. I want her to leave. She has to leave. I need to cry and I don't want her to see me cry. But it's too late. The first tear streams down my face and I sob. "Hey, don't cry" she says and lies down next to me and take me to her arms like she used to do it when I was a small kid.

*LACEY'S POV*

We're lying on my bed. Our bodies are pressed against each other. Our lips are locked together. I don't know for how long we are kissing now, but it seems so right even when it's probably wrong. "Maybe we shouldn't do this" I whisper. "Okay, I'll wait if you want me to" Daniel says and I nod.

*LUKE'S POV*

I wake up in the morning. I want to call Lacey to fix everything, but I know she won't pick up. I crossed the line. I have to get it out of myself. I take my guitar into my hands and I start to play the melody and lyrics come to my head. "Taking every breath away, with all of them mistakes I made" yeah, this suits the situation I'm in right now. "I wish I could've made you stay, and I'm the only one to blame, I know that it's a little too late, this is everything I didn't say" exactly. And about after 2 hours I have the whole song.
