Everything I Didn't Say

Chapter 27

...

It's been fully a week since I last saw Luke, and it's eating at me. I used to dread his presence, now I feel like I can't be without it. My family has started doing the normal family activities again, but I just can't get into it anymore.

Without Luke to make me laugh, or talk to me when I'm feeling bored, it's just not the same; it never will be.

"Addy I wish you would eat." Mum whines, as we're sitting outside an old restaurant around the town.

"I'm not hungry, ma." I shake my head, pushing my food forward.

"You've been acting so strange, since Liz and her family left." She mumbles, shaking her head.

I sigh, and push back my tears that are crawling to get out. Shelby sits beside me, barely making a peep, as does Caleb with the exception that he's staring a whole through me.

"I need to go wash up." I speak, and head for the bathrooms.

When I enter the door, no one is in there. I silently thank everyone for not having to pee. I slowly walk to the mirror, and stare at myself. All of a sudden, the tears streak down my face. Why did it have to be like this? Why couldn't we just be a normal happy couple who see each other all the time and their parents love each other, and it's all just a big happy family?

This is something I keep asking myself here lately. But I never get the answers. Probably because there are no answers, but I know I miss him, and just need him back.

~Xx~

After the lunch with my family I went straight up to my room and sat there forever. I kept slightly crying until I fell asleep.

I abruptly wake up from the sounds of crashing outside my window. I look at my clock at it reads 12:00. Midnight.

I groan and trudge to my window. The most beautiful boy I've ever seen stands there with his guitar slung around his shoulder. "Throwing rocks at your window at midnight, you met me in your back yard that night, in the moonlight you look just like an angel in disguise, my whole life seemed like a post card. You were mine for a night, I was out of my mind. You were mine for a night, I don't know how to say goodbye..."

I stand there smiling like an idiot at this song. "Did it work this time?" Luke asks, hopefully.

"Indeed." I giggle.

"Come with me." he says.

"Where to?"

"Just follow me, and we'll make the world disappear."

Without hesitation, I climb out the window, onto the banister. I drop with a thud, as I am met by the love of my life. Without a word, Luke takes my hand and takes off running with me down the street.

The wind rushes through my face and the adrenaline fill my veins as I struggle to keep up with him. I felt invincible. Alive even.

We finally start to slow down, catching our breaths as he leads me into a beautiful secluded field. The starts lit the path perfectly and the fog gave it an extra atmosphere.

Luke sits down on the grass, waiting for me to join him before laying back. I place my head on his chest and listen to his rapid heartbeat.

"I love you Adeline." Luke's voice breaks as he stars at the stars.

"I love you too, Luke." I feel him sigh out in relief of some sort. "Since when did you sing?"

"For a while now, I just didn't think it was cool, so I didn't let anyone know."

"Does Ash, Cal, and Mikey know?"

"Nope. Your the only one that knows. You just make all the weird emotions come out it me. Emotions I don't know how to express other than in a song." He explains, making my heart flutter.

I smile and raise up some to bring his lips to mine. It wasn't a gross tongue kiss, it was just a passionate kiss with a lot of meaning.

"How did I get do lucky?" Luke smirks, biting on his lip ring.

I giggle and blush, looking away from him. Luke raises up and wraps his hands around my waist. We just there in a comfortable silence, just enjoying one another's presence. I loved him. I loved him so much it was ridiculous.

This boy has definitely changed me.
