Julie's POV
My heart is broken... my mind is racing, out of all people... I thought he would never blame me for her death... I already blame myself as it is.. Carlos is never around anymore because he also blames me...
My face is bruised it begins to rain and all I can think about is this... why would he do this... he's never done this before... he needs to be alone for a while... till then, I'm staying at Luke's... i finally begin to feel tears running down my cheeks and stinging the side of my face where there's a scar from him hitting me...
I slowly walk down the street to Luke's house and go up the stairs, I'm hesitant on knocking on the door... but I do it anyways... Alex answers the door with a smile then his smile fades when he sees my face bruised and scarred
"Julie..." he says and opens his arms for a hug and I don't have any option then to give one to him and I just cry into his chest "it's okay... you're safe... Flynn has told us this happened before... but never knew that it would happen again..."
I nod and I hear a door open "Alex who is it?" He says coming out he looks behind him and it's Luke but he doesn't see me at first because I'm covered in Alex embrace I let go of him and look at Luke, Luke is just overly shocked seeing my beat up face and me drenched in rain
Luke's POV
"Alex get the door!" I yell from my bedroom laying in bedroom, all I hear is silence but I hear a little bit of crying I slowly get up and pin my ear to the door to hear more but I don't hear anything I walk out "Alex, who is it?" I look over to see him hugging someone, and when that someone looks at me I froze it's Julie...
I don't know how to react... I look at her drenched in rain, and I see bruises on her face and a scar on her cheek... my eyes widen
"Come on Jules... let's get you cleaned up here..." Alex says taking her to the bathroom and she walks passed me and she doesn't say anything it's like she's embarrassed...
I look at Reggie and he's just as shocked "Flynn told us about her dad, but we didn't know how to tell you... if something liked this happened... we know about you two... it's obvious..."
"But you could've told me! I would've never let her go back home if I knew!" I raise my voice
"Luke calm yourself! We never knew when it was going to happen! Flynn just said it happened before...but a long while back before you two ever met..." she walks out of the bathroom and looks at me
I go into my room upset at myself knowing I could've been there for her if it were to happen again... I grab my guitar and start plucking on some strings and she walks in shutting the door behind her I stop but I look down at the floor
She walks up to me "I'm sorry... I never told you... I was just embarrassed... and I know you care about me a lot... I just didn't want you to worry..."
"But I do worry Jules... I worry a lot, that's what happens when you care a lot about someone..." she nods and I look up at her
"I could've been there..." she sighs and just looks at me
She walks over to my closet and steals a sweatshirt and puts it on going over to my bed and she lays down.
I watch her as she lies down I lay my guitar down and walk over to her and lay behind her the anger I felt before just all went away as soon as I held her in my arms I kissed the back of her head and sighed
"You shouldn't have to go through this every time he lashes out...if he does next time and you know it's about to happen... call me immediately... I don't care what I'm doing, I could be in the shower I will quickly go in a rob and drive over as soon as possible...because I'm not losing you..."
She turns around and cuddles into my chest she looks up at me "You won't lose me..." she brings my chin down and kisses me I let a tear fall
She wipes it off and rubs where my hairline meets "I promise you won't..."
I nod and rub my hand on her back softly and someone knocks on the door
"Come in." I say and Alex opens the door up
"Just come bringing Julie some water..." Julie smiles and nods
"Thank you Al..." she says with a comforting smile "you can just sit it on the nightstand..."
He nods and Julie just snuggles into my chest more and Alex turns around at me and gives me a thumbs up smiling and I don't know what to do but just blush
