My Secret Diaries

Chapter 14

--Lukes POV--

She stood there watching the door, she was panicking. I couldn't help the want to bend over and kiss her neck. Luckily she opened the door and walked out. In the livingroom stood Elizabeth with a sleeping Jacob in her arms.

"H-hey. Are you guys okay?" Elizabeth asked in a hushed tone.

"I think we are. Where are the guys?" She smiled to me before turning back to Elizabeth.

"They're outside in the back. Brad wanted to talk to them about the PTSD thing that you wrote in your book."

"Oh.. lovely.. There's another reason that book was supposed to be for my eyes only." She sighed and walked to the backdoor. As she opened it we heard them laughing.

"Hey guys.." She said stepping out.

"Rain, please don't hate me. I couldn't handle watching those videos anyways." James blurted.

"I don't hate you James. I don't hate anyone. I could never hate you guys." She grabbed her arm holding the scar.

"You're not mad at us?" David peeked his head from the other side of the garden chair.

"No. I'm mad about the situation but I'm not mad at you guys."

"Rain, why didn't you tell me that actually happened?" Brad patted the ground next to him.

"I didn't want you to know I was weak.. I was weak minded for letting a psychopath into my home and then I was weak of body and couldn't protect myself from him."

"You're not weak. You tried to help a man who was struggling. You may not have been able to fight him off but the fact that you tried to means you're a hell of a lot stronger then you know." Brad wrapped his arm around her and hugged her.

"That's not strength. It's being niave and stupid." She rolled her eyes and pulled out of his hug.

"You need to stop putting yourself down. You're perfect the way you are. You're smart, kind, loving and accepting of everyone. You just need guidance when it comes to men." Tomi stood up.

"Oh are you playing the dad role now?" She smirked looking up at him.

"Hell yeah I am. If your dad was here what would he tell you?"

"..." She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out.

"That might have been a little insensitive." James whispered to Tomi.

"No it wasn't.. I need you guys to stay here. I need to do something." She smirked as she stood up and walked into the house.

"What is it that she needs to do I wonder?" David stood up and stretched.

"Whatever it is, Luke, I need to apologize to you as well." Brad stood up and looked at me.

"No, I do-"

"I really do. First I left the band without telling you why, then after seven years I show up and start yelling at you. I'm sorry."

"I forgive you.. but I need to apologize too. I shouldn't have yelled at you or assumed the worst from you. I'm sorry." He smiled as he walked over and hugged me.

"Awh, I'm so happy to see my guys getting along." I turned and saw Rain standing there wrapped in a blanket.

"What are you doing?" I asked her.

"I'm doing exactly what my dad would have told me to do. Get over my fears and enjoy the life I have." She took off the blanket showing she was wearing a swimming costume. Along her side you could see the scar.
