The Bullied Girl

The Library

Ashley Pov

I woke up at 7am, I had a shower and got dressed in black undies & bra, black jeans and a red t shirt, I shove on a pair of converses and brush my teeth & hair before going to the kitchen to make breakfast, I made a coffee and some toast with peanut butter. I sat down eating and was nearly done when Luke trudges in only wearing grey sweatpants "Goodmorning" I say perkily "morning" He murmurs tiredly as he goes straight to make a coffee.

David walks in not long after Luke sits down with his coffee, it was already nearly 8am "what time do you want to go to the library?" Luke asks yawning "it starts at 9am, but doesn't matter if we get there a little late, just wake up a little first" I said amused, he nods as he sips his coffee "so I got a phone call this morning which is why I'm awake, that a social worker took Jessica away from mum & dad and is bringing her here tomorrow, she's not exactly happy about it but they were found unfit to have custody of her" David says sighing shaking his head.

"I hope she gets her shit together here then, I stopped trying to help her because she literally didn't come home for like a month when I tried to get her to go get help for her addictions" I murmur sighing "she won't be doing any of that crap here, you will have to share a room with her" David says frowning "that's fine" I say shrugging "I better go get ready" Luke yawns standing up an puts his dishes in the sink before leaving the kitchen "so make sure your here when Jessica comes tomorrow cause I'll be at work and I need someone to keep an eye on her" David said sternly "yeah no worries" I murmur standing up an taking my dishes to the sink.

I did the dishes and just finished when Luke walks in wearing jeans, a white v neck shirt and sneakers, his hair was tousled and I could smell his intoxicating cologne from across the room, I just wanted to go up and sniff him.... Jesus that sounds creepy. "Come on, Ash" He says eagerly, we say goodbye to David and left in Luke's car, he pulls up at the library "so how long is this gonna be?" He asks curiously as we hop out of the car "not long, I promise" I say smiling cheekily, we walk in and there was fuck all people here, it literally took 20 minutes to get 3 books signed and we left.

"So is that your idea of fun or just a hobby cause that was depressing in there" Luke says shaking his head, I chuckle "I enjoy a good book, considering we weren't there long, would you maybe want to go do something else" I ask unsure as we hop into his car "like what?" He asks raising his eyebrow at me "apparently there's a cool lookout area of the water, have you been?" I ask perkily "yeah went there for a party with David, it was dark though, we can go have a look if you want" He says smiling at me "yes please" I grin and he starts driving.

It takes 18 minutes to get there a you have to walk a little so once we arrive, we hop out and I was glad it wasn't too many cars here so hopefully not many people. I follow Luke along a dirt path "it's beautiful" I said once we reach the lookout, I stare out at the water. I look back to see Luke just watching me, I grab his hand and pull him closer "thank you for being so wonderful to me, Luke, I couldn't imagine not knowing you" I say wrapping my arms around his waist and burying my face in his chest.

He wraps his arms around me securely "me neither, Ash" He murmurs kissing my head as we just stand there hugging for what felt like minutes but was closer to half an hour, we headed back home and Luke went to go get ready for work as I sat in my room.
