The Good Girl and The Bad Boy - Juke jatp

26. The Tale Of One

Since I did Reggie and Alex's backstories of how life was for them before I thought the least I could do was do Luke's too so here we go.
Warning ⚠️ some verbal abuse

Luke's POV
Being around Jules family is great. Carlos is just like a little brother to me and Ray feels like my dad. The boys were always like brothers to me but I guess now it's bigger and more meaningful. I love the Molina family to the point they feel like my own and I guess I would say I wish they were. I hated my life before Jules it fucking sucked. I remember the day I left like it was yesterday.

The band and I just finished a small gig at the park. It wasn't much but hey we're getting somewhere. Alex and I have also admitted are feelings toward each other and we've been together for about a week. My parents already knew I was Pan and even though they called me names I don't give a fuck about they're opinion. I'm barely at the house anyway but I had to go there tonight for yknow food.

Me : Sup Mom , Dad

Emily : Oh Luke good you're here for once your dad and I need to discuss something with you

Me : Okay spill

Mitch : Um son we've done some talking and we don't think you should be in the band anymore

Me : Why not?!

Emily : You're never home and when you are you're upstairs in your room practicing for something tha-

Me : Spit it out mom!

Emily : THAT WONT GET YOU ANYWHERE

Me : MOM THIS IS MY PASSION ITS SOMETHING I LIVE FOR WHY CANT YOU SUPPORT ME?!

Emily : BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT A WASTE OF TIME BUT ITS ALSO A WAY FOR YOUR HEAD TO BE CONFUSED WITH WEIRD THOUGHTS

Me : OH BY WEIRD THOUGHTS YOU MEAN BEING PAN I GUESSING?!

Mitch : yes Lucas you shouldn't be exposed to that kind of society

Me : BEING IN A BAND DIDNT MAKE ME PAN DAD I WAS BORN THIS WAY AND YOU CANT CHANGE THAT

Emily : LUCAS YOU ARE NO LONGER IN THAT STUPID BAND OR ALLOWED TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN STRAIGHT UNDERSTAND ME

Me : NO MOM IM OUT IM LEAVING FUCK YOU GUYS I DONT NEED YOU

I ran upstairs to grab as much as I could. Thank god for my car so I can get my ass out of here faster with more stuff. I grab all the important stuff like my songbook , my guitar , my electric guitar, clothes , an amp for good measure and my stash cash. Stash cash was the money I've been saying since I was 8 from birthdays to holidays and my third of the money for gigs. There was plenty to get a dissent size apartment 30 minutes from here not like that matters I'm never coming back. I put my guitars and the amp in my trunk and went back inside to grab the last of what I could carry. My mom was there about to burst into tears and my dad was holding her shoulders looking down at the floor.

Emily : Lucas please don't leave I didn't mean it please you're our only son and you're 17 you're too young to be out on you're own

Me : I'm leaving mom no matter what you say. You meant the words you said and you know it. You both don't support me or respect my wishes so I'm out. I can't be around your negativity anymore. I'm leaving

Mitch and Emily : we love you

Me : I wish you did

Just like that I slammed the door shut and drove off to the apartment complex. When I got there I left everything except my ID and my stash cash in the car. I walked up to a nice looking lady and grabbed her attention

Lady : Hello young man what can I do for you today

Me : Hi I'm looking for an apartment

Lady : anything in particular?

Me : Um a two bedroom if that's possible

Lady : Lucky for you we have an opening I'll just need your id and you're purchase and first month of rent.

I handed her my id and she gave me a confused look

Lady : It says you're 17 why do you want an apartment on your own?

Me : Long story

Lady : Okay that's fine your total for today is $2456 (I made up a random number)
i handed her a good half of my stash cash luckily I have the other half to by some furniture.

Lady : Thank you very much here's you're key and it says the floor and room number on it

Me : Thank you Miss

Lady : You're very welcome

I left to find my apartment and my luck it was a ground floor apartment with a little patio so the boys can break in when they want to. I got a two bedroom just in case one of the boys needs to stay here and I'm getting a pull out couch to put in here as well.

1 month later

It's been a month since I moved in here. I got the pull out couch though it doesn't really fit in the living room but it works. I have all my music stuff in my bedroom and was jotting some lyrics down to come up with a new song. That's when I heard a knock at my door. I got up and opened to find reg standing there with a duffle in his hand

Me : Hey reg what's- woah what happened to your eye?

He explained that he got beat by his dad and that he had enough and ran away. I told him he can live with me now and can stay in the spare bedroom. And another month passes and hello Alex.

Soon we all lived together in a small apartment. We liked it though and we liked that we all had each other now. There was no worry about our parents anymore we were just three teens living together. And now we're here living with my girlfriend. The boys are adopted and Ray and I said there was no need to adopt me because well.... couple years I'll be in the fam anyways if you know what I mean😉. In all seriousness I love this family and screw our parents before they can fuck off cause this is more than anything I can ever ask for which is a loving and supportive family. Cant get any better than that

There we have it Luke's side of the story. Next chapter I will be continuing the timeline leading up to prom but as always

Til next time
