My Ghost Boy (female reader × Luke Patterson)

Chapter 43: The Walk

We walked toward the house so I could tell Ray where I was going he was fine with it. Me and Luke walked hand in hand down the street. He looked like he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. "Something on your mind?" I asked hoping to get him to talk. "Nah" he said smiling at me. I decided this was the best I was going to get.

Luke's POV:

Hand in hand walking with the girl of my dreams! I was thinking about telling her what me and the guys had to do but I didn't want to ruin this moment. I remembered the feeling in my gut when she had found out the news of her grandmother. She looked like she would never heal. Now seeing her happy and full of a new found hope almost crushed my spirits more. I hated that I would be the person to take that away from her.

Thinking these things I let go of her hand. She looked up at me hurt in her eyes. I wanted to take it back but I knew it would hurt more so I put my hands in my pockets and looked down as we walked.

Y/n's POV:

When he let go of my hand I wonder if I did something wrong I was hurt. We walked in silence I don't believe it was comforting silence. I felt sad but I had little time to dwell on that because a man was walking towards us. He looked to be the exact same one from early that day. He had the same electric blue eyes same pin stripped coat and the cane for fashion. He was a ways away but walking fast. Luke tensed up when he saw him he stepped back in shock.

I had no clue why Luke turned around and grabbed my hand pulling me along. "Luke! Whay are you doing?" I stopped running with him forcing him to stop. "I don't know how to explain but there is a ghost down there and he is pure evil" he was talking really fast so it was hard to understand. "Luke calm down I can see him he came to me earlier today" I said trying to calm him down. Luke's eyes widened. "What did he want with you?" Luke asked concerned. "Nothing really at all but-but he knew about you guys and he knew I could touch you" I said looking at the ground.

Before Luke or me could say another word another voice right behind us spoke up. "Luke! I have been so worried how are you?" Caleb said. We both whipped around Luke looked as if he wanted to kill this guy if he wasn't already dead. "Why did you go to Y/n!?" Definitely not a question I would ask a super powerful ghost but hey I wanted to know as well. "Oh you mean her is it just me Luke or isn't your relationship cute! Honestly the fact that you and the others will have to leave one way or the other. So touching".

I was shocked Luke looked absolutely revolted by this statement. "We. Won't. Ever. Leave. Them!" He was up in Caleb's face and Caleb looked like he was having the best time. Luke put his arm around my shoulders and steered us away from Caleb. "Don't forget Luke time is running out!" Caleb called after us. Once we were far enough away I stopped him. "What was that about? How do you know him? What did he mean?" I asked. Luke was looking everywhere else but at me.

He looked like he was about to cry so I decided against pushing him. I had tears welling in my eyes as well. He was now looking at the ground and fidgeting with his hands. I grabbed his chin and moved his face up so he would look at me. A tear rolled down his cheek I didn't know why he was crying but I wouldn't pry. "Its okay Luke" I said my voice cracking. With my hand still on his chin I used my thumb to wipe away the tear.

He tried looking away but it looked like he couldn't. Tears started falling faster I wrapped my arms around his neck. He buried his face in the crook of my neck. I felt my shirt getting wet but I didn't care. Something Caleb had said triggered Luke. I was so mad at Caleb he mad Luke like this how?

Luke's POV:

Being with her felt amazing but then I remember whay Caleb said playing with my feelings like that. I already felt bad enough for doing this to Y/n and he had to make it worse. It pained me how quickly Y/n changed her emotions when she realized I was hurting. I loved it but at the same time it just meant she cared so much about me. To go from practically yelling at me to holding me in her arms while I cried.

I felt like a baby. Y/n let go and rested her hands on face brushing away the tears. "We don't have to go back yet" she said. I grabbed her hand as I wiped the remaining tears off with my sleeve. I took her to a bench and I say down my head resting in my hands. Y/n had sat down next to me drawing circles in my back to calm me. How could I just let her go? I couldn't live without her. What was I going to do? The idea of losing people always terrified me, but losing Y/n they thought horrified me.

The thought of never seeing her bright Y/e/c eyes. That sparkle they would get when she was happy. Never seeing her silk like Y/h/c hair blowing in the wind. Or the way it fell perfectly over her shoulder creating a curtain for her beautiful face to poke through. I couldn't just lose that could I?
