I Like Him A Lot

The Fight

~Back to Luke's POV~

Alex just kissed me!!! "I'm sorry about that. I don't know why I just did that." He said. "I enjoyed it." I said, smiling awkwardly. "You did?" He asked. I nodded. We stayed quiet for a little while. I wanted to kiss him again really badly. I rubbed his shoulder. He blushed and looked flustered. He leaned in and kissed me again before pulling away. I smiled, and he did, too. " I have liked you ever since I first saw you, Alex." I said, smiling. "Really?" He asked, playing with his hair. " Yeah." I said. "I owe you a lot. Thank you for everything seriously." He said. I grabbed his hand. " Anytime." I said, smiling. "So what do you want to do now?" He asked me. I shrugged. He started. Suddenly his phone started ringing. " Luke, it's my mom. I have to take this." He said and rushed out of the room. I was worried about what she was going to tell him.

~ALEX'S POV~

My mom just called me. I was both excited and nervous about what she was going to say. "Alex, you need to come home. " my mom said. " Why should I?" I asked. " Because I said so if you don't come back, I'll throw your cat out." She said angrily, gasped angrily. " You better not touch Hershey." I said angrily. " Then get your ass here." She said and hung up. Emily walked into the hall after hearing me talk. " Alex, are you okay?" She said, approaching me. "I'm fine." I said and ran back into Luke's room. " Hey Alex, are you good." He asked me. " I'm going back home right now." I said, shoving my clothes in my backpack. " Your parents apologized." He asked. " No, they didn't, but I need to go back." I said, picking up my backpack. Luke grabbed one of my arms as I started walking out of the room. " Can you just tell me what's going on?" He asked, tilting his head. " My mom said she was going to throw my cat out if I don't move back in." I said, looking straight at him. " Alex, I can't let you go back there. Your parents are abusive. Didn't your dad hit you?" Luke said, pulling me towards him. I looked at him furiously. Deep down, I knew he was right, but at that moment, I just wanted my cat. " How dare you talk like you know them!" I yelled, pulling away from him. "Alex, I was just trying t-" Luke started. "Trying to what get in my way?" I asked. " Alex, I don't want you to get hurt, okay? I know you want your cat to be safe, but I can't let you move back in with them. Especially since they didn't even apologize and threaten your cat." Luke said, and he cupped my face. "I can ask my dad and see if you can bring your cat here, but I can't let you move back with them. I can go with you to get your cat." He hugged me. "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I was just emotional." I said. " It's fine. I am going to go ask my dad if we can bring him here." said Luke, running out of the room. I felt bad for yelling at him for everything he did for me. And he was just trying to look out for me. As soon as he came back into the room, I kissed him. He laughed, " By the way, my dad said yes."
