Behind Closed doors

Chapter 7

"it's all my fault"
***
I pulled up to the now familiar worn down hospital. Slamming my car door behind me. In a hurry, I swung open the door to a crying Susan holding her face in her hands, and her husband comforting her from behind.

"What happened?!" I ran up to her
"Its Luke" she looked up at me " What the hell did you do to him!?"
"Nothing!, I swear. He wouldn't let me leave yesterday so I told him I would come back."
She pointed to his door. "Fix it" she demanded.
I stepped toward the door looking through the window and I saw Luke crying, curled up like a ball, rocking back and forth in the middle of the floor.
I creaked open the door not knowing what to expect from his know unpredictable actions. He abruptly stopped, not looking up from the ground.
"Get out." he almost whispered. I could see his eyes staring crazily at the floor. I wondered to myself if he knew it was me. I ignored his command and stayed put.
"GET OUT!" he screamed jumping to his feet. His face was red, eyes puffy and blood shot from crying. He pulled his fist back ready to hit me. He stopped himself, my hands were over my face ready for his beating. He took my into his arms.
"I'm so sorry Valerie, I had no idea it was you." He nuzzled his face into the crook in my neck. "You came back" I could hear the smile when he talked.
"I promised I would" I played it off, I knew I had Luke's trust. I could use that for good. I know its bad, but it would be good for me and everyone else that worked here. I pulled away from him.
"You look beautiful" He brushed a piece of hair behind my ear.
"Thanks.... But I have a questing for you"
"Anything" he answered
"Did you hit Susan Luke?" his smile quickly disappeared.
"I didn't mean..."
"That's bullshit Luke and you know it" His jaw tensed."You can't just fucking hit people Luke, you have to control yourself...."
"If I could control myself you think I'd fucking be in here!?"
"Have you taken your medicine today Luke?" He looked at me.
"Fuck you. Get out" He waved his hand toward the door. Its scared me when he was mad, and it was no benefit to anyone when he was angry. But I couldn't shake the fact he said that to me. I could feel my cheeks heating up getting angry. I didn't like confrontation but...
"You think I want to be sitting here wasting my time talking care of you?"
"I never fucking said you had to take care of me, get the fuck out!" He was very angry, and I quickly regretted what I said. I knew Luke had a soft spot for me that he had for no one else. I guess I had one for him too.
"Luke I'm sorry" I tried to do what I had done before.
"No. Don't fucking look at me like that" He turned his head away from me.
"Luke..." I walked toward him. The room wasn't tense anymore, it was calm.
"No" his head still turned.
"Okay. I'll leave if that's what you want. Just tell me and I'm gone forever. I promise." I was still hoping he wouldn't let me leave. He didn't say anything. All I could hear was him breathing heavily.
"Okay... Bye Luke" I turn my body toward the door, hoping the blonde haired boy would stop me. 
"No please" He pulled me toward him." I'm sorry... Just please don't leave me." We were chest to chest, and I looked up at him. His eyes still a little red from crying so hard. I hated to admit it, but I think I was falling for Luke. It was so wrong I know, I know. As hard as I would try to stay away from him, I couldn't. He couldn't either so it's not that bad. Right?
As I was thinking my head was facing toward the floor. Luke leaned his forehead against mine. Luke gave me this weird feeling all through my body. Luke lowered his head and started planting kisses all over my face and neck. I had butterflies like crazy, and couldn't wipe the smile off my face and I didn't want to. Luke made me happy, as happy as I've bee. in awhile. He stopped and looked me, in the eyes. We both leaned in slowly. Then the door swings open quickly.
"Is everything okay in here." Susan stood in the doorway.
"Yes" I looked at Luke. "Everything is fine"
