The Cutter's Lover

Luke's P.O.V

I had just witnessed the most horrible thing ever. Tori had just gotten slapped by her father, what kind of father does that?

I had my arms around her waist and was just thinking about what I would do to this man if he ever laid a hand on Tori again. They were talking but I wasn't listening.

The bastard smiled and my arms tightened involuntarily.

"Tori, I'm leaving." I told her, everyone's head snapped toward me and her fathers eyes narrowed.

"Are you coming with me?" I asked looking down, she nodded her head and I grabbed her hand, trying to ignore the tingles racing up and down my arms. Her parents watched us as we walked down the driveway.

"Luke I'm fine." I laughed to myself and turned to face her. The left side of her face was swollen and her eyes were still blood shot. I pulled her into a hug and heard Tori choke out sobs into my shirt. I had never held a girl while she was crying, I usually left them crying and begging at my feet. I wanted to change for Tori and be the man she needed.

*+*+*

I woke up the next morning stiff as a board. I could barely get any sleep because I was tossing and turning all night. I couldn't get the image or Tori getting smacked out of my head.  Slowly standing up nearly all of the bones in my body popped and it felt good. I walked into the bathroom and I looked awful. There were dark circles under my eyes and I looked like Frosty The Snowman.

I splashed cold water onto my face and dried my face off. I pulled on my faded jeans, long sleeve black shirt and a burgundy sweatshirt over my head. I ran my fingers through my hair and sprayed my cologne on.

Picking up my phone I called Tori as I walked to my car. She picked up on the third ring,

"Hello?" I could tell she was still groggy from sleep, Tori was probably scared shitless because of her father.

"What happened last night after I left?" I heard her sigh and I could picture her closing her eyes and pinching her nose.

"I was locked up in my room becuase I was out with you, which I don't regret, but I got smacked twice and now I have a bruise on my cheek." She whispered softly, I smacked my forehead. How could I let him do that to her? I'm such an ass, I groaned while getting in my car and started the engine.

"I'll be there in ten minutes, be ready." Without waiting for her reply I end the phone call and pull out of the drive.

*Tori's P.O.V*

Putting on foundation trying to cover up the bruises my dad left was more difficult than I thought. It hurt to touch them, and if anybody (probably nobody) would ask, I'd say I fell and smacked my chin on the ground.

Tugging on my black jeans and putting on a wite v-neck I pulled my hair into a messy bun. Grabbing my chucks I quickly brushed my teeth. I heard a car horn honk from out side and grabbed my bag and sprinted out of the house before my dad could catch me.

"Hey gorgeous." Luke smiled and kissed my temple. Were we a couple? Or just close friends?

"So, are we dating or no? 'Cos I don't know what we are." I mumbled looking at Luke, his cheeks flushed pink as he looked backwards while backing out of my driveway. I couldn't help but look at his profile. Square jaw, high cheek bones. I wonder what it's like the kiss his jaw.. I shook my head and looked forward.

"If you want to be my girlfriend then I wouldn't mind." His cheeks were still pink and I smiled.

"Sure." I smiled shyly as I looked at him. We were stopped at a red light and he gazed at me. As if he was really studying my face, his dark eyes capturing mine and he intertwined our fingers when the light turned green.

Luke pulled into the parking lot and I saw the usual kids who hung out outside before homeroom. My hands slightly trembling, Luke gave me a reassuring squeeze and pulled into the front parking spot. I unbuckled my seat belt and let go of his hand and got out of his car slinging my bag over my shoulder while pulling out my iPod and headphones. Luke grabbed my hand as he walked beside me, taking one earphone and putting it in his ear.

He put on King For a Day, by Pierce The Veil ft. Kellin Quinn. I smiled, this was one of my favorite songs. We walked towards Luke's friends and I saw Amber glaring at me with pure hatred. I looked everywhere but her.

"Ladies and Gents meet Tori, my new girlfriend." He held up our hands, I heard someone cough/talk 'slut' and I wanted to rip my hand out of his and walked away. I pulled out both of the headphones and started to walk away.

"Where are you going, are you scared you little bitch?" Amber seethed and I wiped around while hearing a few snickers from her friends, Luke shot her a glare and I stepped infront of her, suddenly not afraid.

"Look, I don't know what in God's name I did to you. But I'm sick of your petty bullshit Amber. I've gone through being totured by you and your ugly ass friends," I heard people gasp, "Getting a broken hand and way too many other things to list." I was seething by the time I was done. Amber looked like she was about the flip a shit but I didn't care. She needed to hear the words.

"And the best part is, I now have your boyfriend. Or should I say ex-boyfriend." I spun around and grabbed Luke's hand and practically dragged him away. I heard gasps and shout of anger from Amber but kept walking.

"Tori, stop." Luke pulled me to a stop and I slammed into her chest while he wrapped his arms around me.

"I just want her to stop and leave me alone."
