Unpredictable

Chapter 12: Water Balloons (Part One)

Vanessa's P.O.V

"It's okay now Nessa. I've got you. Nothing happened. It was just a dream. Are you alright?" Luke whispered to me as I tried to catch my breath. He looked at my eyes that were covered in tears and ran his thumb under them to catch the waterfall.

"I am now." I say slowly.

"What happened? You kept yelling and you were crying but you wouldn't wake up." He says with panic growing in his voice. His eyes turned from a bright blue to a dark deep blue.

"My dad, he came back for me and Jake." I say looking at the floor.

"What happened Nessa. You can tell me." He says giving me a hug.

"He stabbed him. In front of me. I know I sound like a stupid bitch but it was horrible Luke." I say throwing my head into my hands.

"It's okay babe, you're safe now. Nothings going to happen to you, I promise." He says rubbing my back in slow circles.

"Luke, what time is it?" He reached passed me and grabbed his phone from the floor. "Just nearly 2:00 am. It's 1:57 am."

"Really? Woah. Where's Tarra and Michael?"

"Tarra fell asleep, so Michael carried her to the guest room and both fell asleep." He says, standing up.

"Oh okay." He grabbed my hand.

"Come on."

"I'm too lazy!!" I say.

"Fine, I guess I will have to carry you." He picked me up bridal; style and he took me to his room and threw me on his bed.

"Get comfy and try to fall back asleep. I'm going to go get changed." He said walking out of the room.

I didn't have any clothes on me. I'm glad i wore my pajamas. I took off my jacket and got under his covers. I pulled out my phone and quickly sent a text to my mum. "Hey mum. Well I fell asleep and only just woke up and I really don't feel like walking home at 2 in the morning. So Tarra and I are staying the night! I hope that's okay, I love you!" I didn't get a reply back, obviously she was asleep.

Luke came back shirtless and only wearing boxers. I couldn't help but stare.

"Try not to drool!" He said cheekily.

"Don't flatter yourself!" I say winking at him. He hops in beside me and wraps his arms around me.

"Goodnight beautiful." He said kissing my cheek.

"Night Luke." I say and then fall asleep straight away in Luke's comforting and cuddly arms.

I woke up to the sound of Luke and Terra talking outside the door. "I wouldn't wake her up Luke she' not a morning person." Tarra said, she's got that right. Mornings with me suck, especially early mornings. Ugh don't get me started on Mondays. "I'll give her ten more minutes." He said. And then they both walked down stairs. I was feeling a lot better and happier today. I'd normally crawl out of bed around one in the afternoon and do nothing all day, but there's something about today that just made me so happy and full of energy. Apart from my nightmare, I slept like a very well-behaved baby last night. Being all cuddled up with Luke probably had something to do with it.

I sat up in Lukes bed and searched for my phone. It was 10:53 am. Too early for me but I was not planning on going back to sleep just to get woken up in ten minutes. I had two unread messages and some twitter notifications. One was from my mum and one from Jake. I checked on the one from mum first. "Good morning sweetie, what are your plans for the day? :D" I guess she wasn't too fussed on Tarra and I staying here. "Morning Mum, Tarra and I are going shopping around 1. xx" I checked my other message from Jake. "Are you busy today? :D x" Jake always asks me that. "Hey, Tarra and I are going shopping! Why, what's up? :P" My big sister senses were telling me he didn't wanna be alone today. My phone beeped. "You shopping? That's something you don't hear everyday. I'm worried about him coming back Nessa. I had a bad dream so i'm scared. :/ xx" Jake never called him dad, it was always him too matter what the circumstances were, he had a bad dream too? "Yeah! I need to look for something to wear for Luke and I's date. :P I had a bad dream too.... You could come shopping with us if you wanted? xx" I doubt he'll want to though. Shopping isn't really his thing either. My phone beeped again. "You'd look nice in the stuff you already own! :D I don't really want to but I'm not being home alone again so, fine I'll go." See, I knew he wouldn't want to be home. "I'm sorry. :P" "It's okay, see you soon! x" "Yeeeeep. :) x" I wonder if Luke would let him hang with him today..
