Five

"Are you serious right now!?" I hear mommy yell from the living room. "Shut up! I have a fucking headache!" I hear daddy yell back at her. I bring my knees to my chest as tears fall down my face. I hear a thud and a loud scream, I quickly get up and run into the living room. I see Daddy's hands around Mommy's neck. "Mommy!" I scream. Daddy looks over at me letting mommy go. "What the hell are you doing up brat!" Daddy yells. "N-no L-Luke, go t-to your-" Daddy slaps mommy on the face stopping her. "Come here!" Daddy yells. I hesitantly walk over tears still running down my face. He takes out his pocket knife opening it and lifting up my shirt. "J-Jim stop!" Mommy screams. He starts cutting my left side. I scream...

I gasp opening my eyes, feeling around my sides for the blood or cut but nothing is there. A sob escapes my mouth and tears fall down my face. I look over at my nightstand to see the time on my clock, 12:00. It's only midnight, great... I get up and walk out into the dark hallway, I walk down the hall toward the other rooms and stop at one. I have no idea what I am doing, I just want to feel safe. I open the door not knowing who's room it is and walk in quietly shutting the door. I quietly walk to the bed and crawl into the bed with whoever's room I am in.

They move around wrapping their arms around me squeezing me tight. I sigh resting my head on their chest. I fall asleep to the sound of this persons breathing.

The morning sun fills the room I am in and I groan rubbing my eyes. Opening them I see a chest a muscular one at that and black hair, right I went into someone's room last night. Matthew's room. I sit up with a yawn, straddling Matthews waist. His eyes flutter open and he looks me over. "Oh you are the person that came into my room last night" he says with a smirk. I blush and look away. "Sorry, I had a um bad dream..." I admit. "It's fine" Matthew says grabbing my hips. "Do want to talk about it?" He asked looking into my eyes.

It bite my bottom lip looking away. "Not really" I mumble. "Hey, that's okay" Matthew says drawing my attention back to him. He smiles and sits up me still in his lap. "Want to make breakfast with me or sleep more?" He asked. "Sleep more" I answer. He nods his head and moves me off his lap, I lay down in his bed with a sigh. "I can ask someone to come in if you want?" Matthew says as he gets dressed. "S-Sure" I stutter blushing. "I will also tell you when breakfast is ready" He said then walked out the door.

After awhile I hear the door open and feel the bed dip. "Who is it" I ask my voice muffled by Matthews pillow. "Your favorite" That's Wyatt's voice. I feel his arms wrap around me and my heart flutters a little, he pulls me closer digging his face in my neck. "Stop" I huff. "What are you going to do?" He asked. I can feel his breath on my neck and I shiver. "I will yell for someone else to stay with me" I snap back. "Yeah okay" I already know he rolled his eyes.

Then is draws on me, I quickly shuffle out of Wyatt's grasp making him look at me eyebrows raised. "Is everything okay?" He asked. "You're with Ash" I say biting my lip. Wyatt smiles and sits up all the way. "And?" He said grabbing one of my hands. "And this is cheating" I say pulling my hand away. Wyatt still smiles and chuckles a little. "I would never cheat, and in plus we are cuddling people cuddle all the time" He says moving to grab my waist. He sits me on his lap and wraps his arms around me digging his face in my neck again.

This is weird, I mean I like it but I also don't like it. I squirm in Wyatt's arms, "Wyatt I'm uncomfortable" I whisper. Wyatt immediately pulls away wide eyed. "I'm sorry" he says removing me from his lap. The door opens and I jump my heart pounding. "Hey! Breakfast is ready" Ash pokes his head in with a smile. "Be right there" Wyatt says. Ash leaves and I turn back to Wyatt. "Thanks for the c-company" I mumble then quickly walk out and into my room to change.

Once I am dressed I make my way to the dining room where everyone sits with a plate of pancakes. I love pancakes, when I was younger and my mom was around she would always make pancakes to cheer me up. I smile down at the plate remembering the memory. Everyone starts eating and chatting with each other except me, I just eat and listen. I then remember that the house is surrounded by open fields and I perk up looking over at Matthew. He looks back with a smile. "Is there anyway I- or we can set up a soccer net somewhere?" I ask feeling my face heat up as everyone stares at me.

"Do you have a soccer net?" Matthew asked raising an eyebrow. "O-oh u-uhm no, but if I get a job I'm s-sure I can-"
"No need for that" Ash interrupts me. I look over at him confused. "We can buy one" He says with a smile. "I don't want you guys to spend your money on my" I mumble looking down at my plate. "And we don't care!" Luka's voice chirps. I look back up at him eyes wide. He is grinning widely. "I-" I don't even know what to say. "Me and Wyatt have to go to the store anyways" Ash says taking a sip of his coffee. "I-Thank you" I say with a small smile. Ash nods then gets up with his plate and walks into the kitchen.

"Luke" I hear my name be called. I look over at Luka who is staring at me, "Yes" I answer. "Will you spend time with me today?" Luka asked softly. My heart flutters at how softly he spoke. "What would we be doing?" I ask curiously. "Well I was just thinking we could hang in my room while I read and you do what you love" He says smiling. I guess I could draw. "Yeah okay" I said making his eyes light up and his smile bigger.

After I finish my breakfast I head to my room grabbing my sketchbook and some drawing pencils then walk over to Luka's door knocking lightly. "Come in!" I hear him chirp. I walk into his room to see him sitting in a beanbag a book in his hands. "Make yourself comfortable!" He says then goes back to reading. I sit down on his bed and open my sketchbook to a blank page. I look over at Luka who is so lost in his book it's like nothing matters, I begin sketching him. Soon enough I am so lost in making sure I have every single detail from Luka's face and body, to the beanbag he is sitting on.

Time passes by in a blur and I realize that I am done with my drawing, I looking back up at Luka to see him staring at me. He smirks, "Are you done? Can I see?" He asked book marking his book and setting it down. How did he know I was drawing him? I blush and bite my lip. "I don't know it's not very good...." I trial off looking back at the sketch. "Bullshit" He says standing up and walking over to me. He sits next to me and looks at the drawing. I nervously look around not knowing what he will say. "Oh wow, it's amazing! I love it!" He giggles hugging me. "You can keep it" I say signing it at the bottom. I rip the page and hand it over to him, he smiles taking the drawing.

He kisses my cheek and my heart stops, a blush takes over my face and my eyes widen. "Thank you" He whispers in my ear. "Y-Yeah n-no p-problem" I stutter. My heart flutters and a weird feeling takes over my body. I...I liked that....
