²⁰ The Truth

The Truth

The truth comes out sooner or later.

Either it's someone spelling it, or someone remembering it. It'll come out.

Bella heard her alarm go off at 7 am, when she reached to turn it off she felt an arm grab her tightly and stop her from moving.

She slowly turned her face, only to see the sweetest sight she's ever seen. Luke was sleeping right next to her, as he wrapped an arm around her waist and kept her close to him.

His hair was the messiest Bella has ever seen, curls in all directions. His soft lips were pouting softly and Bella found it cute. He was leaning his head on Bella's shoulder and sleeping peacefully.

It was the best night sleep Luke has gotten in months. All because of Bella.

He felt peaceful and somehow happy. Luke only closed his eyes after he made sure that Bella was sleeping.

And after a few more thoughts about multiple things.

Like what the fuck he's doing...

He let himself be with Bella because she needed him, he let her see him when he's vulnerable and he showed how much he cared for her.

But why? Didn't she cheat on him? Was he ready to give her a second chance?

Those all were the questions that ran inside Luke's mind before he kissed Bella's head and went to sleep with her in his arms.

" turn it off!! " Luke groaned when Bella took a little too long to stare at Luke and forgot to turn her alarm off, she nodded then turned it off.

" come on wake up, " Bella told Luke, softly tapping his arm over and over to wake him up.

" 5 more minutes " Luke whined, then buried his head in the crook of Bella's neck.

He was doing this without thinking, it seemed so natural for him to wake up next to Bella and whine whenever she told him to wake up.

" come on Luke, we have a test we can't be late " Bella groaned, then tried to push Luke's head off her shoulder. " wake up! "

" Okay I'm up " Luke whined, pouting his lips adorably in hopes that Bella will let him sleep, but this isn't the case, they have a biology test and they can't miss it.

When Luke noticed that Bella was leaving the bed, he knew that he has to get up and he can't have 5 more minutes. So he tiredly rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands and let out a long yawn, then got out of Bella's bed slowly.

Bella was already out of her bed and running towards her bathroom to wash her face and brush her hair - she secretly wished that she looked nice and that Luke didn't have to see her looking like a mess in the morning.

Luke let out a sigh, remembering the events from last night and not helping the smile creeping into his face when he remembered how peacefully Bella slept in his arms. He even had a very good night's sleep in a very long time.

He quickly grabbed his things and decided to leave to his house to get ready for school. As he grabbed everything and was heading to Bella's bedroom door, he saw her leaving the bathroom inside her room and stopping to look at Luke.

" I'm leaving " Luke awkwardly stated, even though it's obvious. He didn't know how to act around Bella, should things stay the same or change?

He couldn't hate Bella, not after last night or when he came to her crying at almost midnight. He never hated her to start with, he pretended, and after the two events of them together, it seemed pointless to pretend to hate her.
