Chap.13

"talking"

*thinking*

3rd person view:

Wednesday morning started with the Cullen kids getting ready for school. Emmett was talking with Edward when Alice came skipping to them. " Luca decided to stay home today so you should go to him Emmett." She told them with a smile. "Do you know why Alice?" Carlisle asks. "Not really. I just know it would be good if Emmett went to him. It will help getting Luca to open up and trust him." Alice explains. "I would be happy to spend time with him. Can i Carlisle?" Emmett pleads. "Okay it seems like a good idea so i will allow it this time. This will not become a habit." Carlisle tells him sternly. "Yeah of course. Thanks Carlisle!" Emmett shouts while running out of the house. "You do know this will most likely become a habit, right?" Edward says with a smirk. "I know." Carlisle sighs.

After a while Emmett stood in front of Lucas house and knocks on the door. A few seconds later Luca opens the door. "Emmett. What are you doing here?" He asks looking confusedly at Emmett. "Alice had a vision that you would stay home today so i was wondering if i could keep you company?" Emmett asks while taking in Lucas looks. He had a messy bed head, baggy grey sweater, black sweatpants and looked tired. He was always gorgeous in Emmetts eyes, but he looked very cute like this and if he could blush he probably would right now. *Thank you Alice.* Emmett thinks. "Oh. Yeah i guess that's okay. Come in." Luca says and opens the door more so Emmett can get inside. 

"This is a nice place. Very you if i may say so." Emmett comments while they sit on the couch in the living room. "Thanks i guess..." Luca answers a little confused. Emmett notices his confusion and chuckles. "Don't worry it was a compliment. I like it." He smiles at Luca. "Oh. Cool." Luca whispers looking away a little bashful. Feeling a little uncomfortable Luca plays with the shadows a little, swirling them in his hands while Emmett watches fascinated. " That is so cool. I don't i will ever get tired of watching you do that." Emmett comments with bright eyes and a big smile. "Really? I am just used to it that it's natural for me." Luca explains. "I get it. Can i ask something?" Emmett asks a little hesitant. Luca looks to him. "Sure, but i might not answer." He says with a smirk and Emmett laughs.

 "Why did you decide not to go to school? Is everything okay?" Emmett asks worried while looking at him. Luca freezes. "I just...i'm worried and if something is wrong i would like to at least try to help. Maybe i can't help in any way, but i am willing to listen. I want you to know that i'm always here for you." Emmett tries to explain when Luca just looks at him. "Okay." Luca whispers so quiet that Emmett almost doesn't catch it. "Really?" Emmett asks shocked and happy. "Yeah. But only if you promise not to tell anyone. Maybe you can't hide it from your family, but promise to at least try. Okay?" Luca tells and asks him seriously. "Yeah of course. I will do my best." Emmett promises. 

"I didn't have a good life like i already told you. Because of that i am who i am today and I get bad days and nights every now and then. More often than i would like to admit. I didn't sleep well last night or at all really and today is just one of those days that i did not feel like suffering in school." Luca explains while looking at the floor. He felt weak telling Emmett this, but this was also a test to see if he can really trust him. "Okay i understand that. How...Would you like to tell me about your past?" Emmett asks moving a little closer to Luca. He could tell this was difficult for him. Luca takes a deep breath and looks to Emmett. Searching his eyes for a moment and after seeing the worry and care in them decides to tell him. 

A little talk about abuse,self harm and death!!

"I had a nice mom. She was always smiling and i know she loved me. She was sick most of my childhood and died when i was 8. My father was always strict and never really showed emotions unless he was angry. I know he loved my mom and when she was still alive i'm pretty sure he cared for me too. After mom died he took it very badly. He started drinking and was rarely home. I took care of making food when there was anything to eat and cleaning the house. After a while he got really angry. He blamed me for mom dyeing. At first it was just yelling and locking me in my room, but then it got worse when i got my powers. It started with a few slaps and hits and then got to kicks and throwing stuff at me. The abuse got so bad that he only stopped beating me when i passed out. I tried using my powers to protect myself and sometimes it would work. After many years of this i rarely left the house. But on the day i turned 18 i sneaked out and everything changed. I was in the woods when this man suddenly appeared. He was pale and had red eyes. I knew he wasn't a human, but i was too slow to do anything. He bit me because he saw me use my powers and wanted to see what i could do as a vampire. It hurt for a moment and then suddenly it stopped. Suddenly i could see and hear better and felt stronger too. The man looked confused because i was different. It did not work like it was supposed to. My powers got stronger too and i lost control. He got too close and the shadows swallowed him and then he was just gone. I didn't know what to do so i ran back home, but once i got there i found my father dead on the couch. I could smell his blood, but the smell of alcohol distracted me so i could ignore it. I ate some food quickly before calling  the police. He died of alcohol poisoning. Can you believe that!? After everything that bastard did he died of that!? Well anyway...i was finally free of him and that's what matters. I spend the years alone and travelling. And now i'm here." Luca ends with a sigh. 

Looking at Emmett who had moved to sit beside him at some point and was holding his hand. "I can't believe that asshole! You were just a kid! If he wasn't already dead i would go find him and kill him myself!" Emmett pretty much yells in anger. Taking a big breath he looks at Luca. Seeing his shock Emmetts eyes soften. "Listen to me Luca. You did nothing wrong okay? Your moms death wasn't your fault. That asshole had no right to hurt you." He tells Luca looking him in the eyes and holding his hands. "Thanks. I still don't know witch is worse. The abuse or all the things he said to me. He really made me believe i deserved it. And i know now that i did nothing wrong, but it still gets to me. Back then i even hurt myself sometimes." Luca confesses. Emmett takes another breath in and then lets it out. "You should never think that you deserved any of that and i really hope you never see the need to hurt yourself again. The Luca that i know is an amazing person. Someone who wants to be seen and heard. Someone who says they don't care, but still warned me that they were a bad person and i was safer to stay away. And let me tell you i don't think you are a bad person Luca. I will always be here to tell you that you matter and hopefully one day you will believe me." He tells Luca earnestly. Luca looks at Emmett and his eyes start to water. Without thinking about it he hugs Emmett.  

"Thank you Emmett..."
