*the next morning*
"What's 9 + 10?" I asked Rachel as we lay in bed holding hands under the blanket. "Umm 21?" She said questioningly. "Oh my god. No, it's 19." I said while face palming and laughing.
Our conversations started getting deep..
"Luke, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"Your husband.. Why?"
"Um excuse me?"
"I didn't mean to say that.."
"It's okay. You know you're my best friend?"
"Yeah of course."
"Why do you seem so down about it?"
"I can't tell you.. Yet."
"Why not?"
"Because it's too soon and you will hate me for it."
"I would never hate you!"
"Good.
You know you called me baby last night?"
"Oh um haha I was dreaming about yo- um nothing let's talk about something else.."
"Oooh Rachels got a crush!"
"So does Luke!"
"I'm not afraid to admit it!"
"Wait.. You love me?"
"Uhh.."
"Luke your my best friend you can't love me."
"But I-"
"And I'm too fat and ugly to be loved that's why I've never had a boyfriend."
"No, you've never had a boyfriend because I told them all that you're mine."
"You little shit."
"Sorry?"
"Luke shut up."
"Sorry."
Then we both stayed quiet for a few minutes.
"Rachel?"
"Yes Luke?"
"Do you love me?"
"Of course I do Luke."
"No but in like a relationship way?"
"..... Yes.."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Maybe okay will be our always."
"Shut up Augustus."
"I love you Rachel."
"I love you too Luke."
Oh my god. I've loved Rachel for years and now I've finally found out that she loves me back. This is the best life ever.
"GET OUT!"
"What was that?" Rachel asked worriedly. "I don't know.." I said as I got up and walked over to the door. Mum was crouched down on the bottom step of the stairs crying. "Mum!" I yelled as I ran down to her. "Mum what happened?" I asked as I placed my arm around her. "Your father was just here." She said crying even more now. "He hurt me." She said pointing to her stomach. "Mum what did he do?"
She then stood up and lifted up her shirt halfway. We both gasped. There was a stab wound just above her belly button. "Where's Beau?" I asked. "Your father took him." She whispered. I need to get her to the hospital as fast as I can but I don't have a license and neither does Rachel. "Rachel!" I yelled as I ran up the stairs. "Come down here quick we need to get mum to the hospital! I'll explain when we get there but can you run over home and get either your mum or Holly to drive us there?" I basically shouted as tears were rolling down my face. "Yes I'll go now." She said before running down the stairs and out the front door as fast as she could.
"Mum it's going to be okay." I cooed. She then fell unconsciously to the floor.
"RACHEL HURRY UP!" I screamed as loud as I could. "Cmon cmon cmon cmon.." I mumbled to myself holding my mums lifeless body in my arms. Rachel and Holly ran through the front door and ran over to my mum and I.
"Quick! Lift her up and carry her to the car!" Holly shouted. I had already lifted her and took her out to the car quickly.

"Nurse! We need a nurse right now!" I yelled as we entered the hospital. Staff came running over to us to ask what happened. "Um she w-was stabbed in the stomach." I explained. Another doctor raced a stretcher bed down the hall so I could put mum on it while they cleaned her wounds.
I hope she will be okay.
