Chapter Ten: "I'm sorry."

When Luke's car pulls up Aria is basically soaked through, her thick dark hair is sticking to her olive toned skin and so are her jeans.

As soon as Aria is in the car and the door is shut Luke takes his seatbelt off and crashes his lips into hers. He kisses her with passion and holds onto her face as a means to keep her close to him. There was something so different about the kiss, it wasn't like one they had shared before, this kiss was more urgent and rushed but still so sweet. When they're both finished with their heated make out session Aria buckles her seatbelt. Luke's eye is bruised beyond belief and his lip is cut to the point where anyone would have thought he needed stiches if it hadn't stopped bleeding.

"Don't look so worried." He says breathily, he can see the slight glint of tears in her beautiful brown eyes and when she sees him looking at her like this she straightens up in her seat

"How can I not be worried when you're sitting there with a black eye and a bloody lip?" Aria questions

"Because this will heal, there was no real damage done." Luke tells Aria, trying to reassure the younger girl to the best of his abilities

"Whatever, can we just go somewhere?"

"I don't think that's a good idea." Aria's eyes immediately widen and her eyebrows scrunch together

"What? Why?" Aria asks

"Your dad was right."

"Right about what?"

"That you are too young for me." Luke says, a wave of sickness rushes over Aria feel and before she knows it she's shaking.

"What are you trying to say?" Aria tries to make her voice sound less panicky but she can't help it and when Luke hears the crack in her usually soft spoken voice he quickly grabs her hand

"I'm trying to say that this was all a mistake Aria. We shouldn't be together, we shouldn't have done what we done." Luke firmly says

"You told me you loved me."

"And I do love you..."

"So why are you doing this to me?" Aria interrupts, nothing was making sense to her, why was he doing this now?

Luke sighs and swallows thickly, he stares out of the window at the falling rain

"Because I..." Luke starts

"Wanted to make a fool out of me." Aria finishes for him "Is that it Luke? You wanted me for sex and then bragging rights?"

"No!" Luke shouts "You know that isn't true! I do love you Aria but this relationship isn't fair on both of us. I mean, I'm thirty-five and you're eighteen, I'm going to be soon ready to settle down and you're only starting your life as an adult. You don't need me bringing you down Aria."

"What if I want you to? What if I want to settle down?" Aria questions through tears, she almost scares herself when she says that...

Did I love him that much?

"What and have children and get married at nineteen or twenty?" Luke asks, bringing Aria from her thoughts, she's about to agree but Luke shakes his head

"Mum and dad did it." Aria says

"They weren't planning on it though." Luke blurts out making Aria shrink into herself, she doesn't react though, having grown up with such young parents and then parent she knew that there was no way that they sat down at whatever teenage and planned to have her. "Baby I am so sorry." Luke says once he realised what he had said, rage burns in the pit of Aria's stomach
