Chapter Eighteen- Still Luke's POV

  I was in the woods.  There was a dark figure chasing me.  I ran and ran as fast as I could, but it still caught up to me.  The person tackled me to the ground and laughed evilly.  They were wearing a ski mask, so I couldn't see their face, but it didn't matter because I recognized those icy grey eyes.  They belonged to my father. 

  "You aren't getting away this time Punk!"  He held me down and laughed again as I helplessly pleaded him.

  "Please, let me go!"  

  "LUKE!  WAKE UP!"

I jumped up and gasped.  My father was gone... and I wasn't in the woods... I was in a hotel room...

  "Luke, are you okay?"  Gabe rubbed my back soothingly and I shook my head as he wrapped me into a hug.  "You were screaming in your sleep."

  "I'm sorry... Did I wake you?"

  "Yes, but don't worry about it, kay?"

  "Okay.  Can we do something?  I don't want to go back to sleep yet..."  He nodded and turned on the lights.

  "I can sing to you?"

  "Okay."  I loved it when he sang to me... It calmed me down every time I got scared or upset... I just wished he did it as more than just a friendly gesture... I secretly wanted him to serenade me... I've seen it in movies, and every time he sings to me, I feel comforted by the words he sings, I just wanted them to mean more...

  "If you smile through your fear and sorrow.  Smile and maybe tomorrow, you'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile...  That's the time you must keep on trying.  Smile, what's the use of crying.  You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile."  And I did.  I smiled wider than a kid who won a life long membership to Disneyland.

  "Thank you."  Gabe gave me another hug.

  "I'd do anything for you.  You know that."  As friends...

  "Yeah, I know.  Gabe, you don't really hate Zeek and Austen, do you?"  He seemed surprised and pulled way from the hug.

  "No, I guess not... Why?"

  "They're really nice... I just want to be able to be friends with them and not have you get all angry..."

  "I'm sorry... Will you tell Zeek I'm sorry for hurting him and calling him names?"  I smiled.

  "You can tell him that... Why don't we all hang out together sometime soon... New Years!"  I jumped in excitement.

  "Sounds good.  They really do make a nice couple, don't they?"

  "They do..."  I was jealous of them actually... They were happily in love and together, and I was stuck miserably hiding my feelings.

  "You have that jealous look on your face... Are you jealous of them?"

  "Um... well.. Yeah, I guess so..." 

  "Luke, are you gay?" 

  "No."  Technically I wasn't lying... I was bi...

  "You sure?"

  "I'm bi..."  Don't hit me... Don't hit me...

  "And you like Zeek?"  My eyes widened.  I was about to deny it, but I thought it over for a second... He seemed like he was okay with having a bisexual best friend, but that didn't mean he was fine with me loving him... So I lied.
