The Cutter's Lover

Luke's P.O.V

I walked away from Tori. I couldn't handle it anymore. The girl was on my mind like no other. I still remember the kiss, I don't know if it was her first or anything. All I know is that she cuts.

That's it.

I want to know more. I push open the oak door to my house and trudge up the stairs.

"Luke?" My mom calls from her room.

"Hey mom, I'm home." I hear her reply but don't answer. I walk to my room and sling my bag down onto my bed. I wanted to punch a wall and cry at the same time. What was this girl doing to me? Sure I noticed her before as the quiet girl Amber always talked about, like she was some disease. But that didn't mean anything. My phone started to buzz and I looked at it.

Mike: Party at my house, be there by 9.30.

I quickly replied, this will be my scapegoat. Being able to drink my Tori troubles away will be a good thing, right? I convinced myself while grabbing my white v-neck, jeans and a leather jacket. I quickly combed through my hair and brushed my teeth, doing all of the usual deodorant, cologne routine.

I walked out of my room and told my mom that I was going out. My mom and dad were rich and nice people, they didn't really care what I did or didn't do. I trotted down the steps

and walked out of the front door.

I decided I wanted to stop by Tori's house on the way, and talk to her. I was still frustrated with her and everything, apparently Amber broke her hand after school; that explains the bruises on her hand. I still needed to talk to her though.

I walked to Tori's house and knocked on the door. Seconds later I heard foot falls coming towards the door.

It opened to reveal Tori in a Sleeping With Sirens sweatshirt and grey sweatpants with her dark hair in a messy bun.

"Um.. hi." She said awkwardly. I silently waved.

"Can I come in?" I asked, she nodded and gestured inside. Tori rubbed her eyes, yawning. It was only seven, how in the hell was she tired? I sat down on the couch and watched as she sat down on the love seat and crosses her legs.

"We need to talk." I say bluntly, Tori rubs her eyes and looks at me.

"There's nothing to talk about." She says, I chuckle dryly. There was so much to talk about. Yet so little time.

"Yes there is." I look straight into her brown eyes. Her eyes were blood shot and she kept pulling down her sleeves. I saw a flash of white and I stood up from my seat without even thinking as I strode over to her and grabbed her wrist and pulled the sleeve up. White patches covered her forearm. My anger flared and I let go of her hand. Tori looked at me in fear, I got close and she cowered

away and covered her face.

I looked down at her. She was fearing away from me, I wasn't going to hit her or anything.

"I'm not going to hit you." I spat a little more harshly than I intended. Tori slowly lowered her hands and stood up, pushing past me.

*Tori's P.O.V*

I slammed my good hand down on the counter, why in the hell did I fall back in fear? Why did I flinch when Luke was so close to me? Ugh! I hated my dad, beating me, violating me. The bastard walked away a while ago but who cares? Me obviously, my brain did I mental scoff.

"Tori?" Luke calls, the kitchen door pushes open and I pull my sleeves down.

"Why did you flinch when I got close to you?" Luke's tone was serious, I didn't need this right now. I sighed and looked at him, I walked really close and I could feel Luke's breath hitting me.

"I don't know." I whisper, I was so fucked up on the inside and outside. My wrist was burning from the fresh air hitting them, I cut, I think five times. Luke tsked his tongue and turned around, again his anger was taking over his body.

"Luke." I said pushing through the kitchen door, he was already walking to the front door. He turned around and looked at me.

"What, you refuse to let me help. Or even talk to me. So what do you want?!" He yells, I flinch back a little at his tone.

"Im sorry." I whisper, Luke fully turns to me and looks straight at me. He shuts the door and walks back into the house, he strides over to me again and looks down into my eyes.

"I don't know why you act like this, but I want to help you." He whispers, I nodded. Luke wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into a hug. I stood there frozen not knowing if I should hug back.

"Ya know, you supposed to hug me back." He mumbles, I lightly laugh and put my arms around his neck. Luke nuzzled into my neck and kissed it. I sucked in a breath and he pulled me tighter.

"Luke, why are you all dressed up?" Kinda of ruining the moment, and the awkward tension from the conflicting emotions going on while I was here and home alone.

"Im going to a party." He told me, I laughed. I never went to parties, well actually I was never invited.

"Oh." I say, I never wanted to leave Luke's arms. He smelled good, that's kinda creepy yet and essential for me. He was strong and muscular and over all made me feel safe.

"Do you wanna come with me?" He asked, still nuzzled into my neck, his warm breath fanning over the side of it. I shook my head 'no' because in all honesty I was scared and the last time I even went to like a birthday party I got made fun of.

"I don't wanna go, you can leave now if you have too." I whisper, but I didn't want him to leave me. Sappy and weird coming from me. I never needed to depend on people but with Luke he was kind of like a drug to me. But I couldn't let him get too close.

That's when drugs become deadly.

I force myself to pull away from him and hold his face in my hands.

"Go to the party, don't feel bad okay. I'll be fine." I stroke his cheek with my fingers, his eyes flicker to my wrist and then my lips. Luke rests his forehead on mine and I can feel his breathing from his nose.

"I don't want you to hurt yourself again." He whispers. I chuckle lightly and look at his brown eyes. I brush my nose against his and slowly press my mouth onto his. My hands still cup his face and his hands slowly wrap around my waist pulling me closer. It was innocent and only my second time kissing him. Or any guy for that reason.

I pull away and wrap my hands around his neck again. Luke hugs me back, I smile. I'm actually happy for once.

"Go to your party." I whisper again. I hear Luke whimper but pull away. His fingers brush my cheeks and he kisses my forehead.

"Bye princess." He says and turns around and walks out my front door.
