chapter 55

there was loud knocking on delia's door. neither quinn nor delia moved a muscle as the banging continued. both were still in a deep sleep as luke was beginning to become impatient. he knew the door wasn't locked, but he wanted to make sure he wasn't going to walk into something he would need therapy for.

"guess i'm going in," luke muttered to himself.

he slowly opened the door, just allowing himself enough room to slip in. he gently closed the door behind him before focusing his attention to delia's bed.

luke almost felt bad that he was going to ruin such a peaceful moment. the two were sound asleep with quinn's arm wrapped tightly around delia. luke smiled to himself and debated taking a picture but decided against it. he would just make fun of quinn when he woke up. that time was right now as everyone in the apartment needed answers.

"quinn!" the youngest hughes whisper yelled while poking his brother's cheek. luke had to give him a couple of good jabs before quinn stirred awake.

the sleepy boy grumbled, "why are you here?"

"to wake you guys up! we all want to know what happened last night!"

quinn swatted at the air while saying, "just fuck off and let us sleep."

luke huffed. he was hoping this wouldn't be so difficult and that he wouldn't have to bother delia as much. unfortunately, quinn was being an asshole. this left luke no other choice but to completely rip the blanket from the two sleeping figures.

in one swift motion, luke managed to completely uncover both delia and quinn. in that moment, he was eternally grateful they were both fully clothed.

delia began to stir awake at the loss of warmth. she slowly opened her eyes and was confused when she saw luke hovering over her and quinn.

"what's going on?" delia asked.

quinn murmured, "nothing, luke was just leaving actually."

luke rolled his eyes. of course, quinn was acting like a child. he seemingly got what he wanted and now he didn't want to leave. unfortunately for quinn, that wasn't how this was going to work.

"actually, i came here to find out what happened last night and do damage control before jamie flips," the youngest in the room explained.

at the mention of her cousin's name, delia instantly woke up. no longer was she sleepy and groggy. her face turned into a state of panic. instantly, she grabbed her phone and looked through her messages.

"shit!" delia stated as she sat up in bed.

quinn peered over her shoulder concerned, "what's wrong?"

trying to lighten the mood, luke joked, "what, did jamie say he was going to kill quinn?"

delia shook her head. no, she could handle jamie wanting to kill quinn. her cousin would never do that no matter how many times he may say it. that's not in jamie's nature. this was so much worse in her mind.

"no, i already have several news articles and fans connecting the dots. they haven't guessed quinn yet but i know it's coming. and jack texted me," delia explained.
