Unwanted Obsession

16. Luke

...I'm wearing a pink suit...it feels weird. I've never worn one before. The car rides completely silent. His parents in the front driving. His sister, him and I in the back. I sigh as I look out the window. It's so...awkward. I just met this guy...how am I in love with him? Why do I feel more attracted to him than Jason?

After a while of nervously looking out the window my eyes widen as I see the mansion that's throwing this event...Eliza's mansion. Shit. Knowing her she probably invited Kylie...and Jason. I gulp as the car comes to a stop and everyone gets out. I take a deep breath once I close the door.

Xavier's strong arm snakes around my waist and pulls my side against his while he kisses my head. "You'll be fine, Red. Nothing bad will happen. And if it does, you come straight to me. Got it?" He takes ahold of my chin and tilts it so I look up at him. I quickly nod and he grinned before pressing a kiss against my lips. His dad whistles to make us stop and Xavier rolls his eyes while dragging me along with him to the entrance.

As soon as we enter I immediately notice tiger hair, followed by Kylie's matching outfit...and Jason. They can't see me...not Jason...I don't want to break his heart. Dammit!

Xavier noticed how tense I way so he gently kissed my shoulder. "Are you okay, Red?" He asks, sweetly and gently. While gently rubbing my waist with his thumb. I nod. He can tell I'm lying but he doesn't push it. You have no idea how grateful I am right now. He's not gonna push me to answer him, unlike Jason who always just makes me tell him...Xavier is different.

Suddenly I feel eyes on the back of my neck. Ones I've felt before. Too familiar...Jason's. "I've gotta go to the restroom, I'll be back in a second!" I quickly say before pushing myself out of Xavier's grip and going inside. I take a deep breath as I lean against the wall in the kitchen. Until a sudden hand grabs my wrist and pulls me over and I'm met with angry eyes that belong to Jason.

His blue eyes burn into my green ones. Cashing me to freeze. Not daring to say anything and just look back at him. "What the fuck have you been doing!? Who were you just with!? And why are there's hickeys all over your neck!?" He exclaims at me. All I can do is stay still. Not wanting to anger him any more than he already is with my answer.

He tightens his grip, causing me to wince and look up at him in shock from how tight his grip on my wrist. I look back up at him only to see anger and hatred on his cold eyes. Suddenly I feel my favourite arms wrap around my waist and drag me out of Jason's grip and mg back hitting a hard chest. Xavier's hard chest. Thank god. Jason's eyes widen. Shock, anger, betrayal and hurt showing in his eyes as he rushes off, intimidated by Xavier's cold glare.

He quickly twirls me around to look at my wrist before gently kissing where a red mark is from the grip was. "I shouldn't of left you alone, Red. I'm sorry." He pulls me into a tighten embrace while I happily hug him back. Feeling comforted in his tight, strong and warm embrace. He gently traced shapes on my lower back to keep my comfortable or something. Who knows? Not me that's for sure. Only he does.

I bury my face into his chest. I feel...safe. Relaxed. At peace. He keep tracing random shapes on my back and kissing my wrist...he might not be all that right in the head...but I love him. I just need to find out more about him. Then we can actually think about being a couple of something. Who knows what the future has for us?

"Are you okay, Red?" He kisses my wrist again, before making eye contact with me. "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about it." I say, wanting to him to start freaking out. I look up at him with a smile. He hesitantly loosens his grip around me and let's me have a little space before holding his hand out. I look down at it then back up at him and raise an eyebrow. He chuckles.

"I want you to take my hand, Red." He says as if it's the most obvious thing in the world, I awkwardly chuckle out of embarrassment before taking his hand, he intertwines our fingers before leading me back outside. I make eye contact with Kylie who just looks at me in shock, eyeing up my hickeys and the massive man I'm holding hands with and willingly following.

I try to push past her glare and just continue following Xavier but my eyes land on Lydia...she's getting made fun of by some random little brat. What the fuck did she do? She's sweet and kind, hell she even helped me out and that's probably because she felt pitty is didn't know what to do. I feel bad...is this because she's Xavier's little sister. I look back at him and he doesn't even notice. Dammit Luke. Don't do it Luke...fuck it I can't.

I pull myself away from Xavier and his head whips around to look at me with wide eyes as he tries to grab my hand again but I walk away before he can. I walk straight up to where his little sister is getting picked on by some bratty boy. They both looks up at me while Xavier follows me closely. "Luke what are you doing?"

I ignore him as I stop in front of them. I look down at the boy and he just glares back at me. "What do you want ginger?" He spits out. Brat.
"Why are you bullying Lydia?" I snap back. He rolls his eyes before shifting them from me to Xavier. Getting a little intimidated but staying strong. "Cause she's stupid." He says...what the fuck? I doubt that's true, and even if it was I wouldn't care. She's sweet and that's all that matters. What a fucking little bratty shit. I grab the kids wrist and drag him over to a river me and Eliza use to swim in when we were kids at the edge of her garden. People give me confused looks while since the kids struggling a lot.

I look back at Xavier to see that his sisters now hugging him and crying into his hip while looking at me a little confused. Oblivious to what I'm about to do. Once we reach the river I simply just push the prick into the river. He doesn't need help, if anything I use to need it. But you grow up, you don't need to be helped and beg for people to
Help me.
