Chapter 5

(Read authors note at the end, imortantish info is told. Please and Thank You.)

Dinner at my apartment with Michael and Luke was to say the least, awkward.

I could sense tension between the two and it wasn't just Michael's over protective habits, it was more than just that, I'm not sure what exactly it is, but I intend to find out one way or another.

It has been a couple weeks since Michael moved in. He is almost never home, He leaves at an early hour and comes back way too late for my liking. There has been quite a few times that he didn't come back till the next morning, I was worried sick. If that happens again he will definitely not have it easy. Without him knowing, I took his key to the apartment off of his key chain, so when it hits ten o'clock tonight and I lock the door, he won't be able to get back in the apartment whenever he comes home, unless I decide to open the door for him.

Currently, I am watching netflix in my living room. I check the time on my phone, It's nine fifty six pm. Might as well lock the door now. I walk over to the front door and lock it. Michael honestly has me so stressed out. I decide I'm going to invite Luke over, he is the only person I have to talk to, so I text him,

Willow: are you busy?

Luke: no, why? you need something?

Willow: not really. can you come over?

Luke: Yeah, be over in a second.

With that, she set her phone down and seemingly only a minute later, I hear a knock. Knowing its Luke, I unlock the door and let him in, then lock the door again.

"Hey Luke, thank you for coming over."

"No problem, is Michael here?"

I scoff "Nope." I say popping the "p"

"Oh, does he not tell you where he goes?"

Luke asks as we sit on the couch. "When I ask where he's been, all he ever says is "out""

"I can't believe what he has been like lately." I say shaking my head in disbelief

"i can." Luke mutters. I don't think I was supposed to hear that...

"What?" I ask. Luke looks like a dear in headlights as he knows that I heard him, there is definitely something going on here. "Is there something that you know, that I don't?" I ask getting irritated.

"W-what?" Luke says, obviously nervous.

"Did I stutter?" I say rather harshly, I'm getting fed up with everyone (everyone meaning Michael and Luke) lying to me.

"I-i know nothing. I b-barely even k-know Michael." Luke stutters

"First Mike is lying to me, and now you are!?" I shout, standing up from the couch, looking down at Luke.

"Willow, I just don't want to be the one to tell you." Luke says, staying calm.

"Tell me what?" I ask calming down.

"Willow..." Luke trails off, looking down at his hands. "You're not going to tell me are you?" I ask. Tears are now threatening to spill from my eyes. Luke just shakes his head.

"I-i can't do this anymore." Tears are now streaming down my cheeks as I run both my hands through my dark brown hair. Luke is now looking at me worriedly "What do you mean?" he asks

I don't answer his question, I just run to my bathroom and lock the door behind me. I let myself fall down onto the plush rug on the floor, sobbing. I hear Luke at the door, "Willow, Please let me in." he begs.

Luke continued to beg to let him in until he just gave up. I feel as if I can't speak, maybe it's just that I don't want to anymore. I carry on staring at my reflection.

Mascara is all over my face, I don't bother to clean it up. I finally unlock the bathroom door and come out into my bedroom. I see Luke sitting at the end of my bed, his back leaning up against the bed. He looks over to me, realizing that I came out of the bathroom. He stands up and walks over to me, then wraps his arms around me. I quickly return the hug.

As he lets go I say, "I'm tired." and go and fall onto my bed, then pull the comforter over me.

"Luke?"

"Yeah, Willow?"

"Cuddle with me." I let out a small laugh. "Okay." He chuckles and then

comes and lies down and wraps his arms around me.
