Enough Secrets (gxg)

16 : Pain

Blake's POV

I can't believe that me and Brooks have been together for three months now. It feels like we just got together not long ago. Everyday with her is amazing. Nothing has dialed down. My excitement to see her is the same. The lust is higher than ever. I don't know how long the honeymoon phase of a relationship is suppose to last but it doesn't seem to be dissipating anytime soon.

"Blake" Luke calls me while I walk down the hall.

"Luke, you have to stop. It has been months" I try to walk past him but he stops me.

"I never got closure"

"What?"

"I deserve closure"

"Luke you lost that right when you decided to hit me"

"Lower your voice" he says sternly. "I apologized for that. Can we just talk somewhere private? I promise I will not bother you ever again after"

"Fine. If this will get you to finally leave me alone then we'll talk" I know that I shouldn't even give him this chance but I just want him to finally leave me alone. If this is what it is going to take then I'll speak to him for five minutes.

"Thank you" he leads us to a random empty classroom.

"Just so you know I'm still with Brooks and I don't plan on breaking-" I am cut off with his lips crashing onto mine. I immediately push him off. "Luke what the fuck are you doing?" I shout angrily.

"I know that you still love me. What we had is more than what you and Brooks have" he tries to kiss me again but I push him back.

"No!" I fight his grip. "Luke stop!" I slap him in the face causing him to finally stop trying to kiss me. He pauses for a second realizing what I had just done.

"Fucking bitch" he slaps me across the face really hard. I fall back at the impact.

He was going to do something else but when he heard someone trying to open the door he stopped his movement.

"Tell anyone about this and I will do worse" he walks towards the door and unlocks it.

A few students begin to come in for class. I quickly head to the bathroom. When I look into the mirror I can see the mark from his slap on my face. I know that there will be bruising. I have to cover this up before I see Brooks. She can't know.

I decide to head home instead of staying for the rest of class. I can't hide this from Brooks right now. I know that the moment I saw her I would break down and tell her what happened. If I do that she will either end up hurt or hurting Luke. I don't want her to get hurt or in trouble.

Luckily my parents are both working so they will not ask any questions either. I head to my room and lay on my bed. I don't know what to do. I don't understand why Luke is doing this. How could someone treat someone else like this? I thought that he was a good person.

I am scared of what he will do. I am ashamed that I am not able to defend myself. I just want this all to stop. Why won't he just stop?

The tears begin to fall from my eyes. I hug my pillow tightly while the tears begin to pour.

I don't deserve this but I don't know how to stop it. Please make it stop.

******

Last night I ended up crying myself to sleep. I don't think my parents know that I skipped the end of school. At least I hope they don't.
