Reckless Love

A storm

Julie's POV:
"Julie?" My dads says, jolting me awake. I lay turn around but I'm trapped by Luke. I look down and realize we are all tangled up.

"Who is this Julie?" My dad says gesturing to Luke.

"This is Luke, he's just a friend. He came over and we watch some movies"

"Just be careful" he warns and goes upstairs. I shake Luke awake and his eyes shoot open.

"Julie" he mumbles and he sits up and stretches.

"We fell asleep" I says, pulling my legs away. I stand up stretch.

"Sorry" he says and wraps my arms around my waist. I can't do this.

"Luke, just don't" I say pulling his arms off my waist and walking outside. Of course he follows me. I continue to walk.

Outside

"Julie stop" He says, grabbing my hand and pulling me to face him "why are you running?" He ask me.

"Generally when a girl walks away like that, she doesn't like you" I snip at him, pulling my hand out of his grip. I continue to storm off and I can hear his footsteps behind me. Making me go faster. I end up at the beach, autopilot I guess.

"Julie seriously, what's wrong?" He ask me, I turn around. I feel a rain droplet fall on my face.

"I just can't Luke- we can't. You shouldn't have seen me today or came with me. Or talked to Carlos. Any of it"

"Your mad cause I talked to your brother?" He ask.

"No, I just. No"

"Then what" he ask, taking a step closer to me.

"I- I don't wanna let you in. I don't wanna get hurt" I say, my voice trembling as I confess.

"Get hurt? You really think I would hurt you" He ask. I nod

"Wow Julie, maybe you don't know me the way I thought" he says scoffing.

"Maybe I don't" I say looking up at him "I don't think I even know myself anymore Luke" I mumble. His eyes look at me and he looks at my lips. Suddenly the rain is pouring down on us.

"Julie, I like you a lot" He says as the storm grows around us.

"No you don't" I yell over a crash of lighting.

"How the hell would you know" he ask, the wind crashing against us.

"Because you don't date and you don't care about people. You can't fucking learn to let people in" I yell

"Neither can you" he counters.

"Well then how the hell do you think we can do this" I say gesturing between us.

"Do you like me? Cause I think about you. I think you're awesome"

"You don't, you've seen me. I broke down"

"You didn't break down Julie. You let me in, it's different. I wanna know everything about you. I wanna learn to love all of you"

"Even the dark parts?" I say, getting closer to him.

"Even the dark parts" he confirms. I think about it, really think about it.

I think about what I'm getting myself into.
Romance? Pain? True Love? Lust? Loss?

I think about what my mom said to me once.....

Flashback
"I want what they have" a young Julie whines pointing to the tv. Her mom and her cuddled on the couch watching Veronica Mars. It was her moms current obsession and little Julie loved watching it with her.
