Demon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 31: The Truth About Demon

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I'm standing in the bathroom in front of the mirror. I'm looking at my own reflection biting on my bottom lip. I know it's been few days since we talked about this immortality thing, but I still didn't make my decision. And now this. This makes the whole situation much more complicated. I was considering both options, until now. This will change my whole life. Anyway, I can't just become immortal and then just disappear with my immortal boyfriend. I keep staring at my reflection and gulp. I don't even know if becoming immortal is possible right now. If I'll tell Luke I'm not becoming immortal, he will leave, but the truth is, I need him here. I need him more right now than ever before.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Hey doll" I wrap my arms around her from behind her, while she's making the breakfast in the kitchen. "Hi" she says involuntarily."What's wrong?" I ask her and she just shrugs. "Hey, look at me" I say and turn her around to face me. "I know I made some pressure on you, but if you need some time, just tell me. I'll understand. You know that, right? I was just too nervous and I didn't know how to tell you this. So, do you need more time or?" I tell her and look right into her eyes. "It's complicated" she says and sighs. "Just tell me. What is it?" I ask and raise my eyebrow and bite my bottom lip. I know something's going on, but I don't know what it is. I just want her to tell me.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I sigh. I don't know how to tell him. I don't even know what I want. I look up at him and he looks right into my eyes with raised eyebrow and biting his bottom lip. "I-I mean, this decision is so hard to make. I don't know if I'm ready to give up on this life and leave from my parents and my friends, but on the other side, I don't wanna lose you too" I finally say something, but I'm not even sure if it makes sense. "You won't lose anyone. I promise. Even if you would become immortal right now, we could stay here for some time. Like few years, but then we would have to leave, because people would notice we don't get older. I never meant it like if you would decide to become immortal we would have to leave right in that second. Definitely not. I would never do that to you" he says and smiles at me. I nod and bite on my bottom lip. "What else?" he asks and sighs. "I, I don't think I'm able to become immortal now" I say and he put on that questioning look. I know I have to explain, but I'm scared. I don't know how he will react. What if he will get mad? What if he will be extremly excited?

*LUKE'S POV*

"What do you mean doll?" I ask her in confusion. What is she talking about? "Well, I don't wanna hide this anymore in front of you and you should know anyway. So, I, I'm..." she starts but then she gulps. It seems like something doesn't let her speak. Just no pressure Lucas. Don't push her. She's going to tell you, she already started, so she will tell you. I keep looking at her without saying anything and waiting for her to finish the sentence. "I'm pregnant" she says finally and breathe out. I know it was really hard for her to tell me, but I'm not sure about this. I'm not ready to become a father. I'm basically a demon, I can't be father. Wait, what if he's the father? "What? When? How?" I ask her without realizing my own words. "Okay, once again. What - I'm pregnant. When - basically anytime, because we never used protection if you remember that. How - how do you think? There's the only way how to make a baby" she says without smile on her face and obviously nervous. I nod. "I, I, I just need some fresh air. I need to think about it. I'll come back" I get some words out of my mouth and run out from the house.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

It's been few hours since Luke ran away. I know he said he will come back, but slowly I'm losing my faith in this. What was I thinking? How could I be so stupid? I was so naive when I thought he'll be there for me and that he will take care of me and our child. Why would I even expect that? Of course, why would he waist his time with a stupid, naive and pregnant girl when he can enjoy his never-ending youth. I'm sitting on my bed hugging my pillow and thinking what I'm gonna do with my life now, when Luke left. I lost him. When my parents will find out that I'm pregnant, they will kill me. Well, my dad definitely. Why don't I just make this easier? I'll kill myself. Everything what matters to me was Luke, but he's not coming back. I feel a hot tear streaming down my face. This one tear is followed by another one, and it's followed by many others. Great, now I'm crying. He doesn't deserve me to cry for him. He's an asshole. How could I ever fall for a guy like him? I did trust him. I believed him. I believed he's gonna keep that empty promises. I was so stupid. I don't want to see him ever again. I throw the pillow across the room.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Does he really worth it baby girl? Anyway, it's not the pillow's fault" I say sarcastically and chuckle. When she looks at me, I know she knows it's not him. She knows it's me. "What do you want?" she asks with her arms crossed on her chest and pouts. "I want you to know the truth" I say and slowly take few steps to her bed. "Truth about what?" she looks at me and I know I got her attention. "The truth about all of this. This, uhmm, let's say, not really well played game" I say calmly. "A game?" she asks confusedly. "Yeah, did you really thought that poor boy actually really liked you?" I ask her and lay down on the bed. "What are you talking about?" she half shouts at me. "Well, baby girl. Let me explain everything. Let me talk, but if you will cut me off just once, I will stop and you will never find out what's really going on. Is that clear?" I say and look at her with raised eyebrow. When she nods, I continue. "Well, that boy, Luke. The truth is, he doesn't have any idea about what's going on. And he will never come back again. Maybe. That's up to me. I never let him think by himself. I was always in his head, I was always controling him. Yeah, of course, that some stuff he said or did he did by himself, but mostly it was me. Let me say, that I kinda like you from that first night. I guess you must have something in yourself. Something what makes me think about you almost all of the time. And, you know, I'm a demon. Demons don't fall in love. So, don't you dare to think that I'm in love with you. It was kinda fun to play that game with you. Watching you how desperately you were craving for that boy. Without having any idea what's actually happening and that he will never feel the same way how you do. But honestly, after some time I was bored and it was kinda frustrated that he's enjoying all the fun with you. It didn't seem to be fair to me. You know, he was just a puppet, but he got everything what was supposed to be mine. I was actually really surprised how quickly you fell for this game. You didn't even know. I almost got you where I wanted you, but this whole pregnancy thing definitely ruined my plan. But let me guess. Since Luke's not here anymore, you don't even want that child, right? Because just one word is enough, and I can take care of this. Let me show you I'm so much better than him baby girl."

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I gulp. I don't know what to say to this. I don't even know what to think. This all was just a lie. I thought I knew him. I thought he has two parts of himself, but it was just a lie. We both were just puppets in this demon's game. The problem is, I'm not disgusted just a little by this. This demon thing attracts me. It's like a magnet or something. I know I'm probably not thinking straight, but anyway. How many times I wished he would take the control over Luke? Like the full control? I can't even count that. I know I should be probably mad or hurt by what he just said, but I can't be. I know he just used me and played with me some kind of a game. Then it hits me. Last few sentences he said. "What did you mean that you can take care of it?" I ask him confusedly. "It's not neccerry for you to know unless you tell me you don't want this child" he says and I feel his sight on me. "I, I don't know" I say quietly. Well, I really don't know. I mean, I'm just 18 and I'm not ready to become a mother. I'm not ready to raise my child when I'm still child by myself. Kids just shouldn't have kids. "Well, whatever. If you will know, you should know it's gonna be really painful and we should probably leave for few days, but I promise you it will worth it then. So, make a decision and I'll come to you in few days for the answer. Think fast" he says and then disappears. Great, I really miss those times when he just disappeared and then appeared from nowhere so suddenly. All of this mystery. What am I gonna do now?

AN: New chapter is here and it's just mind-blowing :D if that's a word :D What do you think, how will Avi decides? Will she keep the child or not? BTW, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AMAZING 3K READS. I love you all so much :)
