Tainted love- Hannah peel
"Once I ran to you, now I run from you... Take my tears and that's not many oh, tainted love."
C P.O.V
The boy pulled me into his house and brought me up the stairs which were right in front of his door. He helped me up the stairs because I had trouble walking. And we stumbled into a bedroom.
The room had posters of bands on one wall above a bed, a desk underneath a window and an open door that lead to a bathroom. He brought me into the bathroom and grabbed some hydrogen peroxide and put it on cotton balls. He then rubbed them on my cuts and cleaned up the blood with a warm washrag.
He dragged the warm cloth gently across my face and he wiped my tears with the back of his hand. He was gentle.
Once he got me cleaned up he smiled at me.
"What?" I asked.
"You're pretty." He said, and giggled a little bit.
No one has ever told me I was pretty before, but I liked it. I kept quiet though because I didn't want to give him to wrong idea.
"So what's your name gorgeous?" He asked wiping my hair out of my face.
"Calum."
"I like that name. It suits you well," He smiles at me, "I'm Luke."
He was pretty too. He had large muscles, and he was tall. He made me feel little, and I wanted him to hold me tight and tell me it's alright while the world goes to shit around us.
"Do you bring in strangers often?" I asked.
"What?" He laughed.
"Well I don't know, your parents don't seem to care that I'm here. And you brought me in without hesitation."
"Well my parents aren't home, and I wanted to help."
"Oh, will they be upset? Because I can go home."
"No, no, beautiful. I want you to stay. They won't mind." That made me feel good. It made me feel wanted for once.
"Oh alright." I smiled. He smiled back at me, and he grabbed my waist and lifted me of the bathroom counter. He walked into his room and I followed.
"Fifa?" He asked me when he sat on a bean bag in front of his television.
"Sure." I said, Assuming Fifa was a fizzy soda.
Luke powered on his gaming console and the screen read "FIFA".Oh god it's a video game? I totally suck at video games.
Luke hands me a controller and starts the football game. He moved his player around while I just sat there, clueless on what to do.
He saw me clueless and he paused the game.
"You've never played have you?"
"Uh no."
"Okay I'll show you.
This left joystick here is how you move around. the right joystick is how you do awesome moves. These buttons here shoot, pass, and throw the ball. This trigger makes you protect the ball, the button above it makes you run-" he explained just about every button on the controller but I understood none of it. He pushed play and we started the game over. I just pushed a bunch of buttons and my character ran in circles looking like he was on drugs. Luke laughed at my character running in circles while he stole the ball and got a goal.
I blushed at how bad I was and wanted to hide my face.
"Don't worry about it babe." He says, and starts the game over.
We line up and the ball gets kicked. Luke steals the ball from the opposing team, and passes it to me. I stood confused.
"Cmon! Run Cal, run! I'll block the other team just get that goal!"
I ran the wrong way and almost kicked it into our goal, but Luke helped me go the right way, and I got a goal!! I was so happy.
"Yay Cal!" He leaned over and gave me a warm hug. I felt safe in his Arms, I didn't want him to let go.
"Let's take a break from Fifa okay?" He said.
"Okay Luke." I smile and he lets go, brushing my messy hair out of my face again.
