Scarred For Life

Chapter 45

Luke's Point of View

We did go to look for Danielle, April never came and I'm kind of glad she didn't because if she did she would of tried to find out what we did. She's not going to stop until she gets an answer, when she finds out she's going to hate me, us! I'm gonna loose her and I really don't want to... I think... I think I love her.

"Yo! Lukey! Wake up we're here!" Michael clapped his hands in front of my face getting my attention.

I looked up at him giving him a weary smile. I looked out the window to see everyone was already out. I was preparing to open the car door and go out but Michael stopped me.

"You seem a little... off, you okay?"

I shrugged. "I'm fine."

He sighed heavily. "That's what everyone says when they aren't. Talk to me."

"Michael, I'm fine let's just go." I opened the door about to step out when he grabbed my arm.

"Close the door and talk to Clifford the big red dog, come on."

I did so, putting my elbows on my knees and my hands supported my head.

"April... she's, she's getting suspicious."

"About...?"

"Us and Danielle. She asked about Calum's past, and I missed out, that part," we don't like to talk about it anymore. "but she knew I was lying," Michael was running a hand through his red hair looking astonished. "I was going to tell her when Miriam came through but she, she still knows something happened and when she finds out, she'll tell Miriam and Kaelyn and we'll loose them, I really don't want to, man." I was close to tears just thinking about it.

I bit my lip to try and hold them back. There was a tap on the window, it was Kaelyn asking if we were coming out. I turned away so she couldn't see my face and start to ask questions too.

I saw Michael gesture to her we'll be out in a minute. "I know telling them, it's going to ruin our relationships, but I don't know about you but when I'm with Kaelyn, I don't want any secrets between us," he stated, he then paused. "We're just gonna have to tell them..."

At that moment almost like a coincidence a tear fell from my eye and onto my cheek.

I'm gonna loose April... forever.

Danielle's Point of View

So I've found out JJ's roommates names - Aiden and Kieran. Aiden is 19 and Kieran is 20. Aiden is also from America but they met Kieran here.

I moved into my room as well, for the moment. They have four rooms in this apartment which I find surprising, it's a decent size, and anyway I won't be staying here long, just so I can find myself a home or a small apartment.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door along with an American voice. I turned around to see JJ with a plate with a chocolate chip muffin. "If your hungry..." he smiled giving me the plate.

I smiled. "Thanks." I took the plate sitting down on the bed, he did so too as I started nibbling away at the muffin. "You know this place is way bigger than you described."

He chuckled taking a chip from my muffin. "It's okay."

I smiled again taking another part off the muffin and eating it. "I've never been so comfortable with someone before, especially a stranger I just met. I've never had the nerve to speak to someone with seeing then a few times first never mind take a room in their home. Which by the way I won't be here long."

He shrugged smiling at me also. "It's okay, stay as long as you want."

We sat in silence for a bit as I continued eating my muffin. I sighed putting it down deciding I didn't want anymore just now, I set it on one of the tables in the room and then turning back around to him. "I'm gonna finish with the rest of my things, then I'll have to think about going back to Calum's for some more stuff." It felt weird saying Calum's name out loud.
