Adopted by Luke

Not excepting this

Natalie's pov.

After the paramedics helped me, I searched for luke, who said he was just gonna go get water 20 minutes ago.

I was a little wobbly walking along, but I made it to the front door. I started walking in, and I walked to kitchen, not finding him, I went up to his room.

I passed the blood stair on the carpet making me scared they might not want my anymore because I hurt one of their friends.

I reached out to knock on his door
And I stopped myself. I heard him sniffing, like he was crying or something.

Without knocking, I walked in.

Sure enough I was right, he was on his bed reading a couple papers. he was in the middle of the bed and couldn't stop letting the tears run out of his eyes.

I went over and sat next to him. just sitting there, with a quite awkward silence.

Breaking the silence, Luke started talking as soon as his voice wasn't cracking every 3 seconds.

"Why d-didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?"
I started looking at the papers noticing that they where from that adoption lady.

"About your life! Oh my god! Your past, your self harm, your death of your family, your best friend in the orphanage, your ability to not tell people about these things!"

"I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you so bad. but...its different, you wouldn't get it. plus, you don't need my life on your shoulders...its heavy"

He took my arm, and slowly started lifting my sleeve. I could feel regret, hate, anger, sadness and disappointment, I felt as if I where getting teary eyed.

He lifted the whole sleeve and then looked at his arm. he started lifting up his, revealing all his previous scars, and bruises.

"Please. tell me your story, why you did it. in return I will tell you why I did it, and we will work through this together."

"It wasn't all from me."
I lifted up my other sleeve, so he could see what the girls in the orphanage wrote.

My bare arm was there in the open, reveling the word 'strength'

"Wow, that's big."

"Yeah...3 of my roommates helped do that for me. I tried standing up for someone, and it left me with a word I will never forget. I wont forget because that was the last time anyone will ever hurt me like that again. I would always get this done to me for some reson."

I rolled up my pant leg and under my knee, I had the word 'eleutheromania'
Scared into me.

"Ele- what?"

"Eleutheromania, it means an intense and an irresistible desire for freedom."

"How did you get that one?"

I looked at the floor, and couldn't help but have memories flood into my head.

"I-I um..."

After regaining my composure, I started again

"That was I graves into me, on the 1st day I arrived in the orphanage. I kept crying, and telling them i just wanted to be left alone, and in my mind, I wanted to be free. I hated everyone there, I just wanted to be free.
After lights out hours, I was in my temporary room, all alone. this girl came in and knocked me out, all I remember was waking up with blood on my leg, and a knife in my hand.
I thought I did it...but it took me a long time to realize, I didn't do it. when I went to tell someone, they thought I was making up a story, so next time it happened, i went and told them. they all thought I was crazy, still do, they still to this day think I'm faking."

"I won't let anyone touch you ever again, till you die."

"So does that mean I'm not going back there?"

"What? Why would you say that? I would never put you back there."

"I thought you would be mad at me, because I hurt calum."

"No, that wasn't your fault."

"Ok...well it's your turn...u obviously know the wrest of my story by reading the papers. tell me your story."

As he started telling my story, I was in shock I just told someone all about me.

-time skip-

"Ok...so, what room is he in?"
Michael lead us to his room in the ER

"How is he so far?"
I asked

"Well, he is getting stitches now, but he is fine."

"I feel horrible about this."
My stomach was churning

"It wasn't your fault, dong blame yourself"
Luke said for the 59th time.

We went and knocked on the door, the Nurse came out and let us in.

"Oh hey guys!"

"Calum I am soooo sorry, you have no idea, I take full responsibility for this, I am so sorry." I went to his side as they where stitching him up.

"It's not your fault, it's mine, I was coming to fast. Don't blame yourself. wanna cookie?"

He handed me a chocolate chip cookie from his little cafeteria plate.

"Thanks, but, I can't eat right now."

"Ok whatever you say."
He took a bite of the cookie and soon his stitches where done.

"Let's go eat!"
Ashton chanted his normal saying.
