Chapter 5: Innocence

Previously, on Abuse.

"H-hello, Ashton." He recogonized my voice immediatly, "Luke's not home so c-can you come over. I need you."

(a.n. Watch for the change in perspective.)

Luke's POV

(At the concert)

The interviewer had bright blue eyes and jet black hair, probably dyed.

"So, I hear you have a girlfriend Luke." she chuckled, obviously wanting information. Her eyes scanned my face.

I nodded,"Yeah," only answering the question at hand.

She played the clip where Em said, "When you-"

"Quite a uh unique girlfriend you have there. So, what was she going to say?"

"That's for her to know and the fandom to figure out." Mystery has always been my strong point.

"But-" her blood red lipstick started to stain her teeth.

"Your hair is it dyed? I-It looks so natural." It was stupid for me to ask that because it was so out of context but I didn't want anyone to get suspisious.

And with that she went on and on about her hair products.

When I got home, I saw Emerald with a frown on her face.

I ran a slick finger through my hair. "What now?"

"You haven't apologized yet." she squinted her eyes. I don't apologize.

I started to explain to her the situation with the interviewer. She looked down, her face hot with embarrasment. That was thing about Emerald, she never thought much of herself. Whenever I did something for her or said something to protect her, she would look at me wondering why I even cared about her that much.

"I'm sorry, I guess it was my fault." Though she apologized, I could tell she didn't believe it was her fault.

I sighed, in no mood for this.

But she was embarrassed. I used this to my advantage.

"Em, lets play a game." I phrased it as a question.

"O-okay." she was so innocent.

"You ask me a question, I ask you one." She nodded once, waiting for me to ask a question. She acted like an obedient child in a classroom when she was embarrased.

"You have siblings right?"

"Yeah. One younger sister and three younger cousins. So I was always the big strong one." she laughed, trying to hide her sadness.

It was hard to think of Emerald as big and strong. I mean she wasn't weak but she wasn't muscular either. She had too innocent of a face.

"My turn. What were you thinking about, right now?" she smirked.

Emerald's POV

He was in his own bubble of thought.

"I-I was uh- Fine. I was thinking about you. How anyone thought of you as big and strong." A smile curled my lips. He wasn't wrong. With his toned abs and 6ft tall structure, I must seem like nothing to him.

"How did you feel when Michael kissed you?" he asked the question before I could respond to his answer, like he was desperate to know the answer.

I cleared my throat. "Slobered, disgusted, uh used, need I say more?" A small part of me expected Luke to apologize, but a bigger part of me knew better.
