Luke's P.O.V
I walk into my house and see my mom packing bags. "What are you doing?" I ask walking up to her. Tears were in her eyes and I saw a bruise on her left cheekbone. "What happened?!" I say turning her face towards me examining her bruise. "Just Paul got a little mad.." she says continuing to pack. "A little?!" I yell getting furious. "Yes Lucas a little! Its fine we are just going to move back to Australia away from him! Got it?" She yells while tears run down her face. "No. We are not just going to run every time things get hard. I like it here." I say lowering my voice. "Yeah well you're not doing good here! Paul has told me where you go at night! To parties with that Ashton kid getting drunk and hanging around those skanks!" She turns towards the suitcase and zips it up. I look away and see Paul laughing at the t.v. He thinks he can just hit my mom and sit on his ass watching t.v. I walk towards him and give him one hard punch to the face. "Lucas!" My mom yells from the other room. "Don't touch my mom again you worthless dick!" I yell hitting him again. He stands up and hits me in the face "Don't try that again!" He yells hiss husky voice booming through the house. I stand up and hit him again and again. My mom got between us yelling at us to stop and Paul grabs her arm and shoves her to the ground. I heard a knock on the door and we all freeze. Paul sits back down and turns up the volume. I walk to the door and open it and see Crystal standing there. "Hi?" I was confused on why she was here. "I heard yelling and I wanted to know if everything was okay." She says looking around me. "Everything is fine." I say kinda rude. I just don't like people intruding in my business.
"Are you sure?" She asks looking at me this time. "Yes I'm sure." I say rolling my eyes. "Um okay. Bye." She says walking away. I shut the door and see my mom unpacking. "So we're not running?" I ask shocked. "Nope. Paul apologized for everything saying it would never happen again." She smiles. "What?! You're forgiving him?! He hit you. And me you can't just forgive him!" I burst. "I love him Lucas and I trust him. That's that. Now go to bed. You are going to school tomorrow." She says and walks away. I yell in frustration and run upstairs. I slam my door as hard as I could and fall on my bed. I couldn't believe she was forgiving him. I grab my phone and put on Come As You Are by Nirvana and start to work on the problems Crystal gave me.

I wake up and start to get ready for school. With someone who only had an hour of sleep I'm surprised at how wide awake I was. I head to the bathroom and see my cabinet was already open so I pull out my toothbrush and toothpaste and close it. I look in the mirror and see my eye is bruised. Shit. I brush my teeth, head towards my dresser and put on my black shirt with a red flannel over it and my black ripped skinny jeans with a grey beanie. I grab my bag and head downstairs. I see a note on the fridge stating that my mom had to stay at work a little late and to not go to parties. I roll my eyes and put on my shoes while heading out the door. I was still pissed that she forgave Paul after what he did. I put in my head phones and start towards my school until I see Crystal walking out of her house. She was wearing a black nirvana shirt with black ripped skinny jeans and black vans. She looked good. I stopped in my tracks debating on whether I should turn around or not. I was a dick to her last night... Before I could turn around she looked at me. She just starts walking to school. I thought she was going to walk up to me and talk to me or maybe I just hoped she would... Ignoring my thoughts I turn up my music and head to my school.
Crystal's P.O.V
I look at Luke but then turned away. I didn't want to bother him. He seemed pretty pissed last night and I don't think I helped. My earbuds were still in my ear when I walked into class. I didn't really want to talk because of what happened this morning. The bell rings and Luke just walked in. I look up at him and his eyes meet mine and I quickly look away. He sits next to me and pulls out a piece of paper. After a few moments I see a piece of paper slide onto my desk. I look around and open the note.
Are you okay? What's wrong?
I grab my pencil and write under it.
I'm fine just stuff.
I glance around making sure no narcs are watching us. I slide it under his book and he reads it.
"Is the tutor session still going on?" He whispers.
I look at him "Why wouldn't it?"
He smiles and looks down at his work. I noticed his right eye was bruised. That wasn't there when I talked to him last night. "Luke." I whisper. He looks over at me "Yeah?"
"Your eye." I say pointing towards him.
He tenses up "Uh. I just ran- into my door..." he says looking at the ceiling. He was obviously lying but I didn't want to push him.
The bell rings and I head to my locker. I put my books in and found another note. Great. I start to open it "Hey." Luke says popping his head from behind my locker. I clear my throat and stick the note back in my locker "Hi." I smile. His eyebrows furrow together "Is that another note?" He asks pointing in my locker. "Uh. No." I say looking at the ground. "Liar. Show it too me."
I sigh in defeat and hand him the note. I see his eyes skim over the paper. His face turned into anger and he ripped up the note. "What did it say?" I ask closing my locker. "You don't want to know."
"Uh yes I do."
"Well to bad. I'm not going to tell you so don't even ask." His voice angry. I roll my eyes and walk away towards the bathroom. I heard him yell my name but I ignored him. I walk into the bathroom and see Jessica and her hoe's doing their make-up. "Look who it is." Jessica says putting her mascara down. "Did you like my note?" She asks. "I didn't read it." I shrug. "What a shame. Let's go girls I don't want to catch the bad case of the uglies." She pushes past me and walks out the door. All I could think about it was the note.

I wait at the gates for Luke. We were going to my house for the tutoring session. If he hurries his ass up. I see him on the phone he seemed annoyed. Once he reaches me he hangs up and sticks his phone in his pocket. "You okay?" I ask starting to walk. "Hmm? Oh yeah I'm fine." He says looking at the sky. "Just Ashton." He shrugs. I nod and we walk the rest of the way in silence. We reach my house and we head upstairs and start working. "What did the note say?" I ask out of the blue. "You don't want to know." He says looking at his paper. "Yes I do. I'm used to the notes by now. How can that one be any worse?" I roll my eyes. "It will hurt you. I just know it. I won't tell you so drop it." He furrows his eyebrows together. "Luke please." I put down my pencil. He sighs and closes his book. "Fine. It said.." He stopped and looked at the ceiling. "To quit asking because I'm never going to tell you." He looks at me. "Ughhh Luke!" I groan in frustration and lay on my back. I could hear him laughing "Shut up." I sit up and glare at him. He starts to pout until his phone starts to ring. He sighs and clicks answer. It was Ashton he seemed upset. "Hello? I'm at Crystals. Yes again.. She's my tutor Ashton. If I don't do this I will fail in school and who knows what Paul will do. Yes. I know. Tonight? Fine I'll be there. Bye." He hangs up and sits back down. "What was that all about?" I ask. "He just wants me to come over and play FIFA." He shrugs. "Well I better go or he will just keep on calling." He puts his books in his bag and stands up. "Mmkay. Night Luke." I say putting my books up. "Night Crystal." He says and walks out the door. I get up and lay down thinking about the note.
