Waking up the next morning to find the bed cold and empty. Scott was gone and so was his shoes. He left.. He knew I had class today so hopefully that he will be back soon. I made my way to the kitchen and Luke had made himself at home. He was using his personally laptop on the kitchen table and had a cup of orange juice. His hair unbrushed and messy with the clothes he showed up in and fell asleep in as well.
"Scott has left. I think he was following some kind of lead."
"Did he state when he would be back?"He looked at the wall clock, before looking back at me.
"Should be about an hour.." I heard a voice I recognized coming from his laptop it was mother. Why was Luke watching those videos? When I asked, he answered excitedly as if it was just A-OKAY that he was watching his mother's last moments alive.
"Scott gave them to me. I asked if he anything of moms and this is what he gave me."
Why could be trust him? He told me he didn't.. I was confused. I did my best to calm myself.
"Luke how old are you?"
"I will be 16 next month."
"You should be in JR high."
"Freshmen. I'm not much younger than you are Lillith." Luke gave me a harsh laugh.Luke was very handsome for his age; he had muscle but not like he played any sports, he had short messy hair that was somehow perfect along with gorgeous eyes. I envied him, and this could be why I have a hard time trusting him.
"I think that we should get you enrolled, that way we can get you caught up on class."
"Can we homeschool me?"
"I have school too Luke."
"What about Scott, can he homeschool me?"
"He's got other stuff to worry about Luke, now listen I have to leave in an hour. I need you to go get ready because you'll be enrolled today. Hurry up."Luke gave me an upset look as he went upstairs to get ready. I did intend to shower.. Not now, no time. I threw my hair into a ponytail to hide the greasy mess, putting on the smallest amount of eyeliner. got into skinny jeans a baggy T that fell perfectly off one shoulder. I sprayed myself in perfume and grabbed a banana from the kitchen to eat.
As the school day finally ended, I took a deep breath before waiting for Luke, I noticed he was holding a big stack of books. I helped him as I noticed Scott was waiting at the car giving me a concerned look as he took Lukes textbooks from me.
"What's the matter Lillith?"
"It was only his first day of school, and some slut tried getting in his pants."This made Scott angry, he got into the car. He mostly talked to Luke before I came to realization on what he was doing, and he was doing what I asked. Every time I wanted to be mad at him- he made me elated..
As we pulled into the driveway, Scott asked me to stay in the car he gave the Luke the house key.
"What is going on?"
"I should ask that.. where did you go this morning and why did you take my car?"
"They cleared me today. My DNA did not match me, and the only witness confessed they were gave money to try and prove me guilty."
"Well that's good at least." My tone wasn't the best
"I am just trying to trust them like you've asked me Lillith."
"By giving them the USBs?"
"I'm not that stupid..."
"He was watching them this morning...""Luke saw me watching them before I left this morning. he must have snatched them while you were still sleeping..."
"You know what that means.."
"Inheritance.."
"Yep..."Scott's reaction summed up mine to a T. My mind on the other hand had so many curse words going through it.
