Through the Screen

36. Save the Drama

I looked up and I saw Luke who was still fast asleep.  We had been cuddling and Luke fell asleep almost immediately and I fell asleep soon after.  It's now morning and I am trapped.  I tried to carefully slip out of his arms but he just pulled me closer and entwined our legs so I couldn't get away.  "Don't leave babe," Luke's voice came out raspy and in a whisper.  I leaned up and kissed him and it took a second for him to respond but when he did, he made the almighty mistake of loosening his grip, so I easily squirmed out and went into the kitchen.  "No fair! You can not use a kiss against a guy!" Luke yelled from the floor of the living room.  

"Well, it seems you have been played, Mr. Hemmings," I yelled back as I searched the fridge for something to eat.  I looked over at the clock and saw it was 10 a.m.  Perfect time for eggs and toast.  I got everything I needed and started making breakfast for everyone, myself included.  Soon, I had nine plates of food ready and I put them all on the counter.  "Everyone wake up! I have breakfast!" I yelled throughout the house and within a few seconds everyone was in the kitchen grabbing their breakfast and thanking me.  "No problem guys," I said as I grabbed mine and Luke's and walked back into the living room where Luke was still on the floor.  

"Seriously Danni, you are a saint," Bella said and I bowed which was a bit difficult because I was sitting.  We had all tore through the food and Abby and Ashton had volunteered to do the dishes.  Shocking, I know.  I felt someone's gaze burning through me and of course, it was Michael.  Shit, I will have to talk to him.  Luke poked my cheek and I turned to see he had his phone in his hand, set on camera.  I made a funny face and so did Luke and then we took a normal picture with me leaning into Luke.  Surprise photoshoots are always the most fun.  

"I'll be right back guys," I said and got up and looked over to Michael signaling him to follow me so that we could talk.  Michael excused himself too and followed me down into the basement.  It was the quietest place that we could talk and not have everyone interrupt.  "What's up Mikey?" 

"You and Luke?  I thought that was over for good Dani," Michael said and ran his hand through his hair, obviously he was uncomfortable.  

"Yeah.  We came down to talk last night and he kissed me and I don't know.  He said he would fight for me because he loves me.  I don't know what to believe Mikey.  Like, I use to have feelings for Luke, strong feelings.  But now... I have no idea.  He just makes me feel safe and loved and he gives some great cuddles," I said trying to explain how I was feeling which is kind of impossible.  Why does my life have to be so damn difficult?

"Dani.  Don't you remember all of the shit he did to you?  How horrible you felt?  If he did it once, he can do it again.  I'm just trying to protect you in all of this and I'm sure Ash and Cal would agree.  I'm just saying that I don't think it's a good idea to be all that close to Luke right now.  At least until all of us are sure he won't hurt you again.  Becuase we will not hesitate to do something if he hurts you."

"Yeah, I guess.  Thanks Mikey," I said and was pulled into his arms in a big hug.  

"Just don't let him do anything to hurt you.  Don't let yourself be vulnerable, ok?" Mikey said into my ear and I nodded and rested my cheek on his shoulder.  "We should do something just us two today.  Get away from everything dramatic, otherwise known as our friend group," Mikey laughed and pulled away from the hug.

"That sounds awesome," I laughed with him as we both walked back upstairs and I told Abby I was going to steal some of her clothes because Mikey and I were going to have a fun day out.  Mikey was going to borrow some of Ashton's clothes too.  Ashton had brought a small bag here.  Abby and Ashton were moving very quickly with their relationship.  It was kind of cute though.  I went to Abby's closet and pulled out a simple Pierce the Veil band shirt and some black ripped shorts and put on my white converse.  I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and was too lazy to even put on mascara so I skipped makeup.  It was just Mikey anyway.  He has seem me in the worst of times.  

"Let's go Mikey! You take longer than me!" I yelled into the guest room where Mikey was getting ready.  He is worse than a girl when it comes to getting ready.  I skipped down the steps and grabbed my phone from the living room and waited for Mikey to come down.  

"Where are you going?" Luke asked.

"Out with Mikey for the day.  Some one on one time," I responded and I saw Luke scowl a bit.  Uh oh.

"Alright, I'm done, I'm done," Mikey said out of breath from running down the stairs.

"Let's go then fashionista!"
