Reyna's POV

Its been 1 week since luke moved in next door and its kinda nice but once he came to my door asking if I had any boxers. I don't even know why I would have boxers. He had a whole box full of boxers so I don't know why he asked me for some.

I sat down on my bed after getting Angelina a cup of soda and some chips. She is always eating....

''So reyna.'' Angelina paused taking a sip of her coke. ''How's Luke?" She wiggled her eyebrows and I rolled my eyes.

''What about him?" I said stealing one of her chips.

''You know what are you tw--'' Angelina was interrupted by a door slamming. It was very loud so I suspected it was Luke who slammed his door. The walls are very thin so I could hear him screaming curse words and throwing things across his apartment.

''Damn, something is wrong with him.'' Angelina chuckled. ''Maybe you should go check on him.''

''Uh no, I think he is just mad. He will get over it.'' I denied. Soon Luke blasted his music very loudly and it was vibrating on my wall. I could faintly hear him singing along to the song.

''HEY! SHUT UP! HANDLE YOU PROBLEMS WITH OUT SCREAMING YOUR LUNGS OUT, DAMN!" Angelina yelled pounding on the wall. I think she should take her own advice.

''Angelina! Stop!." I pulled her hand off the wall. ''That will only make hi--'' I was interrupted by Luke pounding on the wall in response. I rolled my eyes. ''Ugh you guys just stop. You are going to break a hole in my wall.''

Angelina pounded back again and smiled evily at me. Soon the music was turned low and i heard heavy footsteps coming towards my apartment door. I rolled my eyes and Luke knocked on the door.

''I'm not getting that.'' I sighed and raised my eyebrows at Angelina. She laughed and got up, walking towards the door. I followed behind her just encase she was about to start a stupid argument.

As she opened the door I saw Luke standing there with tear stained cheeks, messy hair and a huge bruise on his cheek along with a couple of deep cuts on his hands and forehead.

''Omg Luke what happened?!" I asked taking in his appearance. He looks horrible.

''Uh...'' Luke mumbled glancing at Angelina and then at me. Angelina got the hint and went back to get her phone then left after hugging me and saying bye to Luke. ''So uh yeah...''

''So Luke, what happen to you?" I asked getting bandages for his face as he sat on the toilet lid.

''Well you see I went back to my house to get the rest of my stuff like my pink speakers and posters and stuff. And when I came home my dad was...he was beating my mom.'' He wiped the tears under his eyes as I put bandages on his forehead and hands. ''And so I went to stop him and he slammed my face into a glass picture so it cut my forehead. And then he continued to beat my mom so I went to get him again, but this time he pushed me down onto the floor with glass everywhere and I got glass in my hands.'' He said holding up his hands.

''Oh my gosh Luke, you father is horrible.'' I gasped.

He nodded and continued. ''I stayed on the floor for a bit and my father continued to beat her and she cried and cried and...then'' he sobbed and I hugged him rubbing his back.

''Its ok Luke, you don't have to tell me if it is too much.'' I offered.

''No its okay, I'm fine.'' He confirmed and continued. ''He walked away so I thought he was finished and then....then he came back. And h-he was holding....he was holding a kn-knife.'' He started to cry in my shoulder again. ''And he started to walk over to my mom and I knew what was going to happen so I quickly ran over to my mom and blocked her so that he would stab me. But he didn't... he just punched me in the face and I fell down. And then h-he....he stabbed my mum.'' He cried even harder and i gasped. This whole thing is making me want to cry but i kept my self together for Luke.

''Its okay Luke, I will be here for you. Okay?" I asked and he nodded. ''But everything happens for a reason, this is what god wanted and trust me I know how it feels to lose someone. But its okay luke because someday you will be right by her side.'' I hate to think about it but its true, soon everyone will die, but that's the way god wants it.

He looked up at me. ''Thank you reyna.''

I smiled. ''Your welcome Luke. Everyone needs to have someone by there side and so that's why im here, to help you through your worst days, and enjoy your good ones.''

''You always know what to say reyna. And that is one reason why I like you.'' He smiled up at me and I kissed is cheek blushing.

''I think you should rest Luke, here I will walk you out.'' I suggested helping him up off the toilet lid.

''No--i mean um...uh can i maybe sleep here?" He asked shyly.

''Of course you can Luke.'' I smiled, he always makes me smile. ''C'mon.'' We walked into my bed room and he played on the bed.

''Your going to sleep in those?" I said pointing to is tight skinny jeans.

''Oh right.'' He got up and took off his pants along with his shirt, leaving him in his boxers. I felt my cheeks heat up and i went to change into some sweats and a loose shirt. When I came back luke was fast asleep and I smiled at his adorable little snores. I got into the bed next to him and let my eyes fall. I felt lukes arm drape around my waiste and pull me to his chest. I was glad that I got to fall asleep in an angels arms.
