What If: Love in a College Town.

The Plan

We got back to Kells house. The team hadn't even left Michigan yet. We walked up to her porch.

"Fuck my keys are at the hotel..." she said.

"I got mine darling." I said to her pulling them out of my pocket. I opened the door. She walked in and I closed it.

"I'm so tired... I don't think I can sleep though." She said.

"Let's go up, I'll get you all settled in bed and you sleep. I'll sit there while you sleep fully awake I promise." I told her.

"You have to be just as tired..." she said.

"Kelly, I'm fine. It's you I'm worried about. I promise we will get you through..." I said.

"Luke... you have to be hurting too... another guy touched me and tried to have sex with me and he was close... you aren't even mad." She said and started crying.

"Kells, I'm pissed my blood is boiling. You I'm not pissed with. Even if for some reason you gave him an idea you wanted to sleep with him, I know that's not true and you told him No. no means no period. Whether it be a hug or sex. No is No and whoever doesn't follow that is a piece of shit in my opinion." I said.

"I just didn't want everyone knowing I twisted my ankle..." she said.

"I know. And it's okay. He was your trainer and he crossed a line. Whenever you are ready to tell me the full story I'm here to listen and never to judge." I told her.

"I just don't want you to go back home..."

"I'm not... I'll figure it out."

"But the album..." she said with tears in her eyes.

"Forget that stupid album, if I wasn't so focused on my work I would've been there. You would've been safe. If I don't record it I don't care." I said. I did blame myself mostly.

"Luke... it's not your fault..." she said.

"Okay. Now let's get you settled. What do I do when your parents show up?" I asked. She shook her head.

"I don't want to see my dad... my mom I'll see her."

"Deal.." I said.

"Can you double check the doors." She asked.

"Of course." She stood on the hallway as I check the front and back doors.

"Super safe." I said she smiled a little. She looked up the steps.

"Hey you're okay. Let's go." I said she walked up and I was behind her. She went into her room. I walked in behind her I went to close the door.

"NOOOO!" She yelled. I froze. I opened it back up slowly.

"No problem. Door stays open." I said. She was breathing heavy. She sat down on her bed.

"What do you need?" I asked.

"Just.. I don't know.."
