It's Ok To Be Yourself

12

The days went by and my arms were getting better so were my bruises that Max had caused. Kian had been coming round more often and we all hung out.

It was going to be my 16th Birthday soon and the boys kept asking what I wanted.

"What do you want baby?" Luke asked me.

"Well I was thinking if I took a pregnancy test on the morning of my birthday which is tomorrow then you could put it in a box so you can surprise me with the results whilst you know what it is or before the results come through I can put it in the box and leave it there" I explained.

Kian wiggled his eyebrows at us, "sure, you put it in the box before the results come through otherwise I'll give it away" Luke said. I smiled and shook my head.

"What about from me?" Kian asked.

I hummed not knowing what I wanted, "surprise me" I told him. He nodded his head and we all sat down, Kian and Luke on the couch and I was curled up in my armchair that I had claimed.

"Why don't you come sit with us?" My boyfriend asked.

"No! I like my armchair it's my own personal space" I told them, they chuckled and played Minecraft. I fell asleep curled up int he cozy chair.

When I woke up Kian had left and Luke wasn't in the living room, I tiredly got up and went into the kitchen to look for Luke but he wasn't there, "Luke..?" I asked nervously.

There was no reply.

I went upstairs in the room but he wasn't there, I looked out the window and saw him in the pool relaxing, I smiled knowing he was safe and got changed into my swim wear. I ran down the stairs and jumped in the pool.

Luke swam towards me and hugged me, I giggled and hugged him back. He once again traced my chest scars with his finger, then placed his hand on my chest slowly taking it down to my stomach just above my waistband.

I giggled at the feeling and put my hand on his arm stroking it with my thumb.

"Imagine if there was a small bean in there" he told me, I smiled at the thought.

"Then you'd be a dad, and you'd be a great dad" I told him. He looked me in the eyes and lay his forehead against mine.

I smiled and we locked eyes, we both slowly leaned in causing the gap between us to close and our lips were touching. The kiss was soft and gentle, I leaned in closer to deepen the kiss.

As Luke pulled away my lips followed his which was normal at this point, he smiled and I slowly opened my eyes, "sorry" I mumbled.

"It's fine, you always do it" he teased.
I rolled my eyes and went under the water, I sat on the bottom for at least 2 minutes.

"Toby.. that's not funny come back to surface now.." I heard him say when he realised it had been about 1 minute 30. I stayed there for another 30 seconds and slowly went to the surface.

"Why'd you do that?"he asked curiously.

"I sat down" I said staring the obvious.

"How did you hold your breath for that long?" He asked.

"I used to do swimming and we did breathing techniques for under water" he nodded his head and hugged me again not letting me go.

I rolled my eyes and managed to wiggle out of his grasp, I swam to the hot tub part and turned it on causing bubbles to form.

I slowly lay down and let myself float on top of the water feeling the warmth on my body and the bibles pop every time they came in contact with me, I closed my eyes in the late afternoon sun laying there calmly.

The pool water quietly sloshed about as Luke swam to me in the hot tub. He sat next to me and watched me float, I smiled and opened my eyes. I looked at him brightly.

"I'm glad you're happy again..." he told me.

"I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you" I told him slowly getting up.

I was about to sit down when I felt to arms on my waist and slowly get pulled on to his lap.

"Your gonna develop a problem idiot-" I told him referring to his lower half.

"Nope, I'm not like perverted people, I don't get horny over the slightest touch. You can sit on my lap all day and I would still be fine" he told me, which was nice to know but I don't think I needed to know.

"I was joking Luke" I told him resting my head on his chest.

He played with my hair, "I know you were but you know what I'm like"

I hummed a yes in response to calm and lost in his touch ti respond. He kissed my head and his lips lingered there for a few seconds before he rested his cheek on my head.

I drew patterns on his chest with my finger, "what time is it?" I asked, yawning afterwards.

"Lunch time I believe" He told me, I sighed just wanting sleep but went along anyway.

Luke carried me into the house and gave me a towel to dry off, I sat on the floor cross-legged with the towel wrapped around me. Luke smiled at me then went into the kitchen to make food.

I started shivering at the cold air that had surrounded me, my teeth were chattering and they were pretty loud.

Luke came back with the food and I gladly ate it, once we had eaten we headed up the stairs and had a shower, we got dried and got dressed for the day even though we probably weren't going to do anything apart from cuddle and play games or watch films, stuff like that.
