Chapter 16

Mᴀʀɪᴇ:
I felt so bad talking about Alyssa, Luke's sister. It felt...mean. I know I'm his girlfriend and I apparently, have the right to ask any question I want, but to ask about death, it makes me feel a little sad. I mean sure, Luke doesn't mind but how do I know he's just saying that to open up to me?

This boy is very difficult sometimes.

Luke and I got off the phone so, I decided to read. After a couple of minutes, I got a message from Annie. She has said she couldn't sleep and I was starting to worry for her.

From Annie:
I can't sleep, I'm so worried. Please come to the hotel and stay with me. I miss you.
Received at 10:32pm

To Annie:
Alright, hang tight. Let me see if I can persuade Mabel to talk to Mother and Daddy.
Sent at 10:34pm

I closed my phone to quietly go and ask for Mabel, until my phone started going off.
From Annie:
No!
No!
No!

To Annie:
Jesus, be louder An. What do you mean 'no'?
Sent at 10:38pm

From Annie:
Just come. You can bring Luke if you want, just sneak out.

Sneak out? Why in Satan's name would I sneak out? That's disobeying my parents rules; and if I got away with it, I don't think I'd be able to live.

Holy cheesecake. What do I do?

I have two different situations here; I either sneak out and help my saddened best friend, or be a selfish cow and not go at all. I don't want to be the second one, but I definitely don't want to get into trouble.

Oh God, why is life hard?

From Luke:
Come outside, I'm here.

So, as you can see I chose option one. I obviously knew I was going to get caught, but the part I didn't know, was that I didn't get caught. It's confusing, I know. While I was packing my things in my purse, I dropped my purse which made a loud thud nose, which caused some of my money to fly out.

Clumsy, much?

When I went to grab a packet of Burger Rings for Luke and I on the way to the to the hotel,  I pulled out the whole lot of packets making a whole ruffling sound. Andre woke up, but said he was awake anyway. Maybe he was just saying that, who knows?

I headed outside quietly, getting into Luke's truck. He drives out of our driveway, and we start our drive to the hotel.

Luke took a Burger Ring and placed it on my ring finger. "This ring is for you." I laughed at his foolish joke. Luckily, we had been at a red light, so he didn't need to pay that much attention. I took his ring finger while he had one hand on the steering wheel and the other on my lap; I had been trying to put a Burger Ring on his ring finger but they kept breaking, and I had been feeding them to him.

"So, did Annie tell you why she wanted you to visit her?" Luke asked, munching on a Burger Ring.

"I think she just needed some comfort from what's been going on, in that mind of hers." Luke nodded and continued to face the road.

"What if Diego gets you into trouble for leaving without permission?" I bite my lip, worrying for Luke. Luke chuckles before explaining, "No Princess, he won't. I told him I was heading out to see you and he let me. Though, that fucking annoying bitc-"

"Lucas! Language." I pinched his arm. He brisked it away and winced as it burned.

Told you so, I can be a bitch.
