Tattooed Hearts (Lashton)

Chapter 27

Luke PoV

I arrived at school and looked at the ground while walking to my locker. I hope Michael was waiting for me there so I wouldn't be alone for much longer. My hopes were crushed when I didn't see Michael standing at my locker, but Jake.

"Hey" Jake smiled at me, showing his teeth and walking away, giving me a small wave. A look of confusion crossed my face, why is he being nice to me? What is he planning? Are Ryan and Adam behind this? Is this all his idea?

Those were questions going through my mind in the few seconds between when Jake left en when I opened my locker. I put the books I didn't need before lunch in it and slung my back-bag over my shoulder again. I was about to close my locker and go to my first class of the day, English, when my eye fell on a piece of paper that was taped on the inside of the door of my locker.

I am looking forward to our meetings again, I hope you are too.

Let's make up the time we missed.

I shivered at that and hoped I could call Ash or Mikey or even Calum, but sadly I can't. Michael is at school with me, Ash is working and I have no idea what Calum is doing right now but he probably won't be able to pick me up.

I closed my locker and went to class. I didn't have to look up to know everyone was staring at me. I kept my head directed to the ground and walked to my usual spot next to Michael in the back of the room.

"Why is everyone staring at me?" I whispered to him, to which he answered, "They know you're dating Ash".

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion yet again. Why would they care? Why would they stare at me for that? They all know I'm gay so this shouldn't be surprising, yet it is.....

We were halfway through Art, when a girl, who got up to sharpen her pencil or something, walked up to me. She gave me a little piece of paper. "Call me if he hurts you okay?" She said and walked away. If who hurt me? Jake? I thought no one knew...

I'm glad she knows though, now I don't have to worry about Jake beating me so much. I'm sure he'll back off a little when I tell him Prisilla knows about it.

I continued to work on my project, a painting or drawing of your favourite or most inspiring quote. I'm painting a silhouette drawing of Peter Pan and Wendy with he quote "Never say Goodbye because saying goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting" .

School finished 5 minutes ago and I am collecting my stuff from my locker when I'm being dragged away. A hand was placed over my mouth so I couldn't scream, but I was struggling, trying to make it harder for my kidnapper to take me away. It didn't help much though, they were much stronger than I am.

I was dragged out of the school building and to it's side. When I was released I got pushed to the wall immediately. I looked up and found myself staring at the devilish smile on Jake's face. He hit me in my face and I placed my hands over my eye. It didn't take long before I was on the ground. Jake had hit me in my stomach and I doubled over and fell. Jake didn't give me a chance to catch my breath as he started kicking me everywhere. My stomach, my back. my legs. I was crying at this point, begging him to stop. 

My angel, I thought when I heard someone call over and footsteps getting nearer. 

"Hey you! Stop that!" I heard someone say. I don't know this person but they might have saved my life. Jake didn't look like he was going to stop any time soon. Jake did stop after the unknown person told him to.

"What makes you so great that you can tell me what to do?" Jake asked, his voice cocky and arrogant as usual.

"What makes you so great that you can beat up some kid?" The unknown person, which I can now identify as male, asked.
