Caught Up in my Thoughts

Will you...

This chapter is dedicated to Skyler_Rain. Please go check out her book Secret Sister, it's amazing! The song for this chapter is Check Yes,  Juliet by We the Kings, but it's the cover that Luke and Michael did so yeah... there are many reasons why I picked that one. Enjoy ;)

Cecilia's POV
School wasn't that bad. People didn't hadn't been bullying me, but it had only been a week. I hadn't made any new friends and to be honest I didn't want to. I walked up to my locker and there was Luke. I hadn't really been with him in a long time. He was acting very strange. He had his hood on and his head was held low. He was doing something in his locker and when he saw me coming he quickly closed the door and started to walk off. "Luke! Hey wait I need to talk to you!"  I grabbed his wrist and then he stopped and turned around. His head was still low and I couldn't see his face very good. "Luke can we talk somewhere?" It was the end of the day so we didn't have to worry about anymore classes. "Umm yeah I guess." We walked outside to where nobody was. "Luke will you look at me, please?" Why was he beginning so weird. He slowly lifted his head and that's when I saw it. His left eye was bruised, his lip was cut open on and swollen, and he had a cut that was about two or three inches long on his right cheek. "Oh my gosh Luke! What happened?" He looked so embarrassed. "Umm... I'll tell you later I have to go now..." What was wrong with him. "No Luke, I need to know." He looked so nervous. "Just give me a week and then I will explain everything to you." I just nodded. Then he left as quickly as he could, and I didn't know what to think of everything that had just happened.
A week later
I woke up to the beautiful sound of rain. I loved when it rained, being in it, hearing it, and even smelling it. I wanted so much to just go out and walk in it or something but I had a lot of homework so I couldn't. For some reason the teachers thought it would be nice to give us a lot of homework when it's only our second week. I sat there in my black oversized sweater with my light wash skinny jeans on and my hair down. I hadn't bothered with any makeup today and my hair was in it's natural wavy state. As I did my homework in my bed that was right by a very large window, I heard something. It wasn't the rain either. I looked out of my widow to see a rock hit the side of the house. I looked down and there was Luke. He was soaked and looked cold. I opened my window to see what he wanted. "Cece, I... I need to talk to you." He yelled. "Why don't you just come on?" He was shivering. "Because I-I don't want the others to know I'm hear..." He looked down for a second then back at me. His bruised face combined with the sadness I'm his eyes hurt me so much. "Ok I'll be there in a second." I closed the window and slipped on my boots. I ran downstairs and out the door very quietly. I walked over to the side of the house and I was already soaked. "Hey..." He said looking up when I got over to him. "Hi..." he looked so pitiful. He was shivering and very badly. "Come on Luke, it's way to cold out here." He just walked over to me and hugged me. "No... I n-need to t-talk to y-you." He wouldn't let go of me. "Please Luke... I don't want you to get sick." He let go of me and I took my chance. I grabbed his hand and pulled him inside and up to my room. We both were soaked. "I'll go and get you some clothes, ok?" He just nodded. I walked down to his room that he had hear and got a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie. Then I walked back. "Here..." I said handing him his clothes. I walked over to my dresser and took out the same. When I turned around he was standing there with his sweatpants on and pulling his wet shirt off. I blushed and quickly went over to my bathroom to change. When I came out he was sitting on my bed. "So... I need to explain some stuff." I shook my head yes and sat down next to him. "Well it all started teen years ago. My parents decided to get a divorce because my dad was drinking a lot and my mom didn't like that. Now I go back and forth from one house to the other." He paused and took a deep breath. "My dad started to drink more. Then he started to abuse me. My mom doesn't know, but it's been going on for nine years and my dad says that it's my fault they got divorced. I told him that I wanted to move in here with you guys but he won't let me. I just can't stay with him anymore and my mom is moving farther away soon and I don't want to go with her or I wouldn't ever see you guys again. So I wanted to ask you if you wanted to... if you wanted to run away with me?" He finishes and I didn't know what to say. Did I want to? I was only 15. "When? Like right now or in a month or like when?" I didn't even know if I wanted to but maybe I did. "Well the sooner it is the better in my opinion. I just don't want to pressure you into it if you don't want to... do you though? Want to run away with me?" He asked. "I don't know, maybe. I just don't see why this is the answer to the problem. Couldn't we tell somebody and they could get you away form your dad? Then you could live with us." I suggested. "Maybe... I just don't know. My mom would probably want me to live with her... and I couldn't leave you." His last statement made my heart break. I gently took his hand in mine. "Luke, I'm just not sure... I mean I'm only 15, and what about the band. You can't just leave them, you know." He shook his head yes. "I know, I just can't live with him any more." I thought for a moment then spoke. "Well at least for tonight you can stay here. You don't even have to go home because you already have clothes here." I smiled at him trying to cheer him up, but he just gave me a weak smile back that looked very forced. What could we do about this?" Look we have to talk to somebody. Why not Ashton?" Luke looked a little alarmed at first. "No way! Then he will tell my mom or the police! I don't want that!" I didn't know how to convince him. "Please Luke, if we don't do anything then you won't be able to come and live with us." He thought about it for a moment. "Well we could still run away. Just for a week to try it out. If you wanted to you could even tell the guys... just don't tell them where we are going." We could. I know running isn't the answer to problems, but it's just for a week. Maybe he was right maybe this could work, and if we were just trying it then if it didn't we could always come back. "Let me think about it and I will tell you tommorow. Okay?" He just shook his head yes. Then he kissed me on the forehead and went to his room. I looked at the clock. It was already 10 and for some reason I was really tired. I drifted off to sleep with the sound of rain against my windowpane.
Next day: 9pm
Knock! Knock! Knock!
I heard on my door. I hadn't finish my homework from yesterday so I was working on it. "Come in!" I knew it was Luke. He had this special knock, and I knew why he was coming too. "Hey." He breathed softly and ce and sat down with me. "Hey." I answered. "So... umm I guess you know why I am here?" I shook my head yes. "Did you make up your mined?" He asked nervously and bit his lip. That was so attractive and I couldn't stand it when he did that. "Yeah..." I trailed off and looked out the window." Umm what is it?" He asked biting his lip again. Ugh! Did he know what that did to me?! "Well... I decided that I want to, but you have to tell the guys about your dad for me to go." His face went from shocked to happy to sad in the time it took me to say the hole sentence. "You can write it in the letter that I'm leaving for them if you want, but you have to let them now. So that when we come back in a week they can do something to help you." He looked a little confused. "Why are we coming back in a week? We haven't even left and you have already decided that you won't like it?" He scooted closer to me. "No Luke, I just mean that we will try it for a week and then come back. If we really want to then we can leave again." He smiled a little. "Ok, as long as I get to spend the hole week with you!" He was inches away from my face. Then I felt his soft lips gently touch mine. He pulled away a little bit later to ask me something."When can we leave?" It was 9 so if we really wanted to we could leave tonight. "If you want we can leave tonight?" I said it more of a question. "What about 6 am tomorrow?" The other guys we probably still be asleep. "Ok sure that will be fine. Can we take your car?" He nodded a yes. "See you at 6 in the morning love!" Then he left to go pack. I got up and got out my suitcase. As I packed everything I needed I thought about what I had just said yes to. I was going to leave my house for a week and miss school to go and be with Luke. I didn't know what my mom would think about this but I didn't really care because she never talked to me. I was more worried about what the guys, even more so Calum, would say. After putting everything in my backpack I sat down to write the letter.
Dear Cal Ash and Mikey,
         Me and Luke have left for a week. You have probably already read Luke's letter and if not read that before continuing. We both felt that we needed this time away. Don't worry about us, Luke will take good care of me. Please don't try and fined us and please don't tell my mom. I will see you in a week.
                          Love,
                                   Cecilia xoxo
P.S.
This really is a good thing for us!=)

I was scared that they would be mad but I would deal with that when I got back. This would be something I would never forget. I was running away with my famous boyfriend, that I thought I would never even meet. Then I went to bed so that I could be up on time for us to leave the next morning.

Hey guys! I didn't think I would be updating today but I am because I really liked this chapter. I hope you did too. This doesn't mean that I am always going to update on Mondays, just when I can. Please like and comment what you think. I have a question. Do you guys think she needs more friends or should I just leave it at this? I haven't decided yet and I wanted to know what you guys thought. Thank you gorgeous people! I love you all!- Abbie
