Marias POV
When I woke up I was wrapped in two big arms and pressed against a strong chest. I thought back to last night an remember falling asleep in Lukes arms.
Being in Luke's arms is perfection. Maybe it's a friend thing but I feel safe in his arms.

He started stirring and almost rolled ontop of me. I let out a little yelp when he squeezed me. His eyes shot open.
"Don't sleep with girls much?" He rolled his eyes. His hands stayed wrapped around my waist. I snuggled into his neck. My head hurting.
"Lukey my head hurts" I said.
"Have too much to drink last night Queenie" My eyes widened for a moment then I rolled them.
"Yes I did!" I said.
"What the hell did you do last night?"
"Well I was with Ashton so we obviously fucked. Then he dropped me off here, instead of coming in I walked down to that bar. Gave them a fake ID and drank. Then came back to my stash to find some was gone." I said giving him a glare at the end for taking some of my stash.
"In my defense I got you that fake ID and I was cheated on." He said. I searched his face for any pain or sadness but I couldnt find any.
"I know poor Lukey" I said mockingly and he rolled his eyes and walked out of my room.

I was about to exit my room when I heard my phone ring.
"Hello" I answered without checking the caller ID.
"Hey baby, I am having a party tomorrow night. You should come and bring your friends. Please don't bring your brother though if he is gonna try an beat me up." Ashton said.
"Okay I will be there." I told Ashton. By now I have walked into the kitchen where Luke was and he gave me a questioning face. I mumbled goodbye and hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Luke asked while popping some waffles in the toaster knowing they are my favorite.
"Ashton." I said. Once I said it Luke's jaw clenched and he turned his back to me. Even when he has his back to my I know he is mad.
"He invited me to his party he is throwing tomorrow, he said I could bring a friend." I said the last part wrapping my arms around his waist from behind giving him a hug. Hoping that he will come with me.
"Is this your way of proposing because from what I know you should be on one knee." Luke said turning around in my arms, a big dimpley smile on his face. So I got down on one knee, grabbed Lukes hand-which sent tingles through my body, i dont know why.
"Lucas Robert Hemmings will you do me the honor of being my plus one to this party?" He giggled.
"I think thats called a date, plus I know your gonna ask the other boys to come too." Luke said ruining my proposal.
"Bitch just say yes." I said getting up an rolling my eyes.
"Yes Beau- Queen." It sounded like he was about to say beautiful but he wouldnt called me that, right? How come the thought of him calling me that makes me smile.
____________________
Luke left a while ago and now I feel lonely. Calum an Mikey went to go play soccer today, so I am in this house all by myself. My parents went on a business trip 2 weeks ago and are supposed to be home tomorrow morning. Im not excited for that because they always judge me and Mikey. No one knows that my Dad abuses me when he gets drunk at home. Luke doesn't have a clue, Mikey most stays with Calum or Luke when they are home. My mom chooses to ignore it. The front door opening snapped me out of my thoughts. I grabbed my lacrosse stick an jumped off the couch.
"Mikey, Maria, We are home early!" Speaking of the devil, my mother shouts.
"I'm the only one home. Mikey is with Cal." I informed her to which she gave me a nod.
"I am going out for girls night, okay baby" My mom said squeezing my cheeks. I pushed her away and went into my room. I plugged earphones in and listened to music.

About thirty minutes later I could hear my dad screaming for me to come downstairs. I ran down, he had Mikey up against the wall, Mikey looked surprised and a little frightened.
"Dad-" i started but he cut me off.
"You told me Mikey was out."
"He was father." He let go of Mikey and told him to go to his room. Mikey looked at me and I gave him a assuring smile and nodded my head towards his room. He just walked and stood behind me. My father pointing his index finger towards me and motioned me to come closer. I slowly took a few steps towards him. He slapped me so hard I fell to the ground. He got a good kick in before Mikey punched him. He was taking back, Mikey quickly picked me up and carried me to his room. Locking the door behind us.
"Go out the window." Mikey said. I opened the window to find a rope tied to the house. I threw it over the leg. Put on my biker gloves that were in my back pocket-they were there cause I was going to go for a test ride on the motorcycle I picked out- then slid down the rope. Mikey followed behind and we jumped into his car and started driving. I have no clue where he is taking us but I know not to say anything when he is mad like this.
"Has he ever done that before?" Mikey asked jaw clenched. His grip on the wheel so tight his knuckles are white.
"Yes, you are never home though." I answered honestly. I looked out the window to see we were pulling up to the hemmings house. Mikey hit the horn 5 times and Luke came running out seconds later. Mikey got out of the car but I stayed in. I knew Luke would be mad if he saw my cheek. Luke looked over Mikey shoulder and right at me I hid my face and looked away. Not ten seconds later my door is opened for me.
"Get out of the car." Luke said. I didnt answer. Just put my hat on, kept my head low and got out of the car. Luke tried to lift my head but I wouldnt let him.
"Let me see your face please." I then realized I myself have never seen it. I don't know how bad it is. But nevertheless I gave in and lifted my head. Lukes sympathetic eyes turned into rage, his jaw clenched and his hands into fist. I grabbed onto his arm and pulled him close mumbling i wanted a hug and his face went soft again and he wrapped his arms around me.
"I'll protect you baby girl." Luke whispered, barely audible, I don't think I was supposed to hear that.
