The Mission

5

me and luca look at each for a few more minutes before he sits on the floor he pats next to him and i sit down
"i'm sorry" he says looking down at his tattooed hands "i'm sorry i'm such a dick" he adds
"luca i know we don't know each other and i'm just a stripper your dad picked up from a club but there's more to ny story and you didn't even get to know me" he nods and kept his head down "you won't even look in my direction when your home or sleep in the same bed as me"

"im scared violet im scared okay" he laughs "oh why am i opening up to you"

"what are you scared about luca"

"falling in love im not a loving person like my dad or my mom, my dad would kill for my mom and he has. and i'm so scared i won't be like him" he takes off his glasses his eyes were puffy and red looks like he's been crying for hours

"my dad always taught me tuff love. if you do this you get this in return. he didn't say i love you he did stop and say "look how great my kid luca is doing he passed his classes" he wasn't like that and my mom wasn't like that either. yes she cared but at the end of the day it was my dad. they had me to keep the jobs coming in and when kelsey and oscar were born they were ready to be a family because they knew i was going take over" he wipes his check i take his hand and hold it in my hand and turn my body to face him. "im scared i won't be able to love you like that" he says "fuck im such s fucking loser" he laughs wiping his face again "sorry violet i don't mean to be such a baby" he smiles 

"hey no luca you have feelings you have emotions being scared is totally understandable you don't know if your ready for a relationship is fine. no one is telling you were getting married right now. we can just be friends and maybe something will come out of it. luca i'm 21 and your 23 ain't no way we're ready for the marriage life. but if your feeling like this i wish you would let me know instead of calling me a hooker" i laugh "or just trying" he smiles looking at me "or bringing home a girl who looked like lola from big mouth" i laugh he smiles
"she looked prettier when i was plastered i swear" he raises his hands up in solidarity
"you don't like lola" he smiles "andrew" he says in his best lola impression

"oh no please don't do that again" i laugh he smiles "andrew why won't you pants me" i scream "no stop stop please" i laughing putting my hand over his mouth "Andrew" he muffles in to my hand "stop" i laugh so hard that i snort. i cover my mouth and his mouth opens wides as i just sit there shaking my head
"i'm going inside before i do anything else embarrassing" i get up fixing my shorts and my shirt
"hey that's my shirt" he says pointing. i didn't realize when i put one when i was running out of the house. i was wearing his shirt. it was a black nirvana shirt with the yellow nirvana smile on it.

"it was the first one i saw when i was leaving" i smiled as he stood up next to me "it looks nice on you keep it" he winks putting an arm over me as we walked back in to the hospital. he puts his sun glasses on and we walk back to dan and kelsey who were sitting there on their phones
"hello" i smile as i sit next to dan and luca sits in the chair in front of me
"so" dan says
"dan i'm sorry for being a dick" luca says "you're a cool dude i'm ally" he smiles dan shakes his head laughing
"i'm happy you're an ally thank you luca" he laughs and luca lokks at me as i start to laugh "do people not say their an ally" he says i shake my head
"i mean people don't come out and say their an ally" i say "you can just respect him"

"i see you" luca says
"okay avatar" dan laughs and looks back at the tv "any word on mom" luca says to kelsey who shakes her head.

"hey why don't you get hesd home. we are still waiting test results and it could take all night" johnny says "if anything changes we can give you a call" "geo will take you home luca you took your own car right" luca nods and we say bye and make our way out of the hospital

"geo you take kelsey and dan home im going to take violet to get something eat and will meet you at the house" luca says geo nods and we walk to luca car.

which is a jeep wrangler

typical.

"i'm tired can we just get some fast food i just wanna go home and sleep" i say he nods and i buckle up as he drives off.

we get to mcdonald's and luca places an order for two larger fries and four piece nuggets.
"i cant believe you don't want a cookie" he says as we wait on the line
"wendy cookies are better im sorry i don't make the rules"
"your bugging mcdonald's cookies are amazing" he says as we get the window
"8.75" the girl smiles

we eat in the parking lot as luca looks around
"so why did you move here" he asked
"you don't know that answer already" i laugh he shakes his head
"an i supposed to"
"no i just assumed you did your research like your parents did"
"no i didn't wanna stalk you like they did my fault" i laugh

"well me and dan wanted to get out of flordia. dan dads was getting too much for him with all the drug selling-"
"you moved out of flordia because of the drugs and you moved in to a mafia house that makes sense"he laughs cutting me off
"shut up it was more then drug selling. drug selling is like the nicest way to put it"
"okay continue"
"i moved out becuase my mom was getting worse and my dad was getting more abusive i guess and when my sisters moved out  i knew it was my time to leave as well"

"you have two sisters" he asked
"yeah my older sister name is gia and my younger sister is frankie" i smile "they live in staten island i've been trying to go see them but i havnt had the time"
"let's go tomorrow" he smiles
"wait really" i jump in my seat
"yeah before the party we can go. maybe they would wanna come to the party"
"you're kidding really"
"yeah it's family and they obviously mean a lot to you"
"oh my god i could kiss you right now thank you" he eyes widen "sorry it's just an expression me and dan say it all the time"
"it's okay i wouldn't mind a kiss just wasn't expecting you to say that"
