Avery's POV

I woke up to my balcony door opened and the breeze flowing through. My bedroom door was wide open aswell. I grabbed my baseball bat and crept down the stairs. *errck* fuck. The creaky step. Well i'm dead. There was a little moonlight coming from the living room and when the figure came into it, i almost shit my pants. "Luke! WHAT THE FUCK! Why are you in my house?" I whisper yelled but loud enough for him to get the point. He came closer and reaches out his hand to guide me down the rest of the stairs. "I- i uh i dont really know." He sighed, "i kinda got bored and well i came over." I laughed, "you could've texted me, I don't bite and I don't appreciate you breaking into my house." I said smacking his bare bicep, that was toned and also had tattoos on it.

One was a dragonfly but in dark scary colors and surrounded by vines, like it was caught in them just waiting to be eaten. Another was an anchor, my favorite tattoo design. It had a snake wrapping around the bars and through the rope hole at the top. But there was one that really caught my eye, the words that read : To face the darkness you have to be the darkness

Luke must've noticed my staring because he snapped his fingers infront of my face. "Oh, Uh sorry. I was just um looking I guess." I stuttered which earned a smirk from Luke. "It's okay. I get that a lot. But I've only got them on my left arm." He said and pulled his shirt to show his tattoo-less right arm. I furrowed my eyebrows, "why?" He just shrugged his shoulders, "One day I want to have a sleeve, but only on one arm." I just nodded.

"C'mon. We can go to my room." I said after I got Luke and I some water. We headed up the stairs, and again we missed the creaky one. I got to my doorway and suddenly realized I was in just my sports bra and spandex. "Oh fuck!" I shouted, followed by Luke's hand covering my mouth. "Shhh. You'll wake your dad. And I have seen worse, sweetheart. Way worse." He said widening his eyes and sucking air between his teeth. I giggled and quickly pulled on one of my dad's shirts and a pair of sweatpants.

We hung out for quite a while until I drifted to sleep. I opened my eyes to be met with ocean blue ones. His arms were wrapped around my waist and my body was pressed against his. I felt way to comfy to move so I cuddled closer to him, if that was possible, and closed my eyes again. I heard his chest rumble and I knew he was laughing at me, "what?" I asked. "You're just cute and cuddly." He smiled. I returned it and pulled away from his grasp. "This was nice but you need to go!" I said pointing at the clock that said 5:00 am, then motioning towards the balcony.

My dad leaves for work at 6 am every morning so there's no doubt that he would wake up soon. Back in USA he left at 8 am so I could always say goodbye before I went to school. Afer the move, I had to have a babysitter until I was 13 because dad wouldn't be home when I woke up. I got used to it real quick and most nights I would just stay at Callies or even Michael's house.

"Bye Avery. See you after school today." He smirked and walked closer to me. I didn't move a muscle, mostly because I was sore but also a little scared. He grabbed my back and pulled my body towards his, whispering things in my ear. My lips slid across his cheek as he brought his face infront of mine. He leaned in and so did I, he kissed slow but rough and I liked it but I think I'm in love with someone else. I pushed Luke away causing him to stumble, "what? Is there something wrong?" He asked a little angrily. "Luke, I just can't. I think I like someone else. And you're my bully which makes it even worse." I said ending in barely a whisper and looking at my feet. When I faced my head back up he was walking out my doors. He huffed before closing them and climbing down the tree that granted him access up to my room. I placed the curtains back and shuffled to the bed. I crawled in but couldn't bring myself to sleep. Did I really like someone else or was I just saying that because I'm afraid? I do like Michael more than a friend. But I'm attracted to Luke, and I don't know why.

I got on my phone and scrolled through Twitter. I went to my account, ash__shayn (Follow me if you want, I have like -7 followers) and changed my profile picture because the old one was cringe. After faving some tweets and following some people I locked my phone and layed it on the table. The clock showed 5:30 am and I could hear my dad getting ready.
