The Escape [ABLH]

Chapter 13

Hey! Okay, bye.

----------------

Emma woke up when there was birds chirping, and the sun was shining- just kidding there was no sun shining because of the rain pouring, and lightning striking down onto the city.

Emma whimpers sitting up, and holding her head. The loud noise of the lightning scares her and not helping the headache that she is having.

She looked to her bedside table, and read the digital alarm clock which said; 9:02.

She sat up and rested her back on the headboard. It was late morning, yet it still looks dark out.

After sitting down for a while, she got off bed and headed for the bathroom to freshen up.

Once she had freshen up, she dragged her feet out her room, and into the hallway towards the stairs. She heard no movement in the house, signaling that Luke must still be sleeping. Emma went into the kitchen to look for some aspirin. She got frustrated that she didn't find any, so she went on top of the island counter and laid there. Her headache was not being friendly, so she tried to sleep it off.

Luke in the other hand, cussed that he didn't see Emma in her room. He searches for her in every room upstairs, and he sprinted down the stairs almost tripping on the process.

Luke also searched for her in every room except the living room and the kitchen. The lights of the two were off, so he didn't think Emma was in those two rooms. Emma is really scared of the dark.

If Emma was awake she'd hear Luke pacing around the hallways trying to figure out where Emma was.

Luke found Emma soon enough. Luke wouldn't have found her of she didn't call Luke's name. Luke was glad she didn't ran off.

"Don't scare me like that again!" Luke shuts his mouth and hugged Emma who was sitting on the counter of the island.

"Ugh, Luke shut up! My head hurts." I mumbled.

Emma pushes him away with out opening her eyes, but Luke held her close.

"Emma? When you go out to parties, you can't drink. You're under age. Got it?" Luke said while shaking her by the shoulder.

"Luke" Emma whined, and rested her head on Luke's chest.

Luke sighs, "Let's get you some thing to get rid of that headache of yours."

He walked and opened a drawer that was a but too high for Emma. He got a bottle of pain killers, and took one pill out. He set the pill on top of the bottle's cap, and grab a water bottle from the fridge.

Emma got off from the counter and ran out.

"Hey! Comeback here," Luke yelled, and ran after her.

Emma was still a bit dizzy, so she was running into things. She ran over a coffee table, and stubbed her toe. She tripped over the couch, and face planted on the arm rest. She also ran onto the wall, which made her more dizzy.

Luke caught up to her, and carried her by the waist. He feet her was dangling down.

"No! Luke, I don't want pills!" Emma yelled, struggling to get off of Luke'a grip.

"Oh, hush."

Luke set her down on the counter, and took the pills. Emma covered her mouth with both of her hands and shook her head.

"Emma, don't be difficult." Luke said standing in front of Emma blocking her way.

"You know what? I'm feeling much better! I don't need that anymore!" Emma lied jumping off the counter.

Before she went anywhere, Luke scooped her up and put her back on the counter.

"Luke, I can't... I have trouble sjaaing that," Emma mumbled.

"What?"

"I have trouble swallowing pills," Emma said nearly a whisper.

"I can't hear you Em, speak louder." Luke said.

"I have trouble swallowing pills!" Emma groaned.

"Oh, well why didn't you said so," Luke said putting the pill back into the bottle, and taking a syrup medicine.

"Luke?" Emma called out.

"In the kitchen!" Luke yelled.

"I'm hungry," Emma said to Luke who is munching on a pop tart.

Emma glared at him with the look of; 'Better run'.

"Wanna order pizza?" Luke suggested.

Emma shook her head.

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"I wanna order Chinese food," Emma said.

"Okay, go order it." Luke said continuing to eat the pop tart.

He was sitting on the stools, his elbows were rested on the island counter.

"You do it. I don't wanna do it." Emma said skipping off.

Luke groaned, and put the pop tart back into the box, and went to get his phone.

Emma was sitting on the couch talking on the phone, and all Luke heard was; 'Bye babe, love you too'.

Luke decided to ask her later, and just order the food now.
