Luke and I were having the best time. We rode a bunch of the rides together and now we were going to one the games when I spotted a group of people from school. My worst enemies yet. I squeezed lukes hand to reassure myself that he was here and would protect me. As we approached the game they finally saw us. "Well well what do we have here" Andrew, a tall blonde my age said. Making Luke and I turn around. "Andrew I'm not in the mood for your bullshit okay" i said softly. "And who's this, did you pay him to do this, oh wait you don't have any money" he and his crew behind him laughed. Tears stinging my eyes and Luke spoke up. "What's your problem, she didn't do anything to you" Luke let go of my hand stepping closer, I was fearing the worst right now. "What are you, her boyfriend" he asked, I was about to say no but Luke spoke up first. "Yeah and she's the nicest most beautiful girl I've ever met" I couldn't help but smile at his words, but we weren't together. "Why are you dating such a loser, you know she has no money and she's mentally physcotic" and that's when I ran away I couldn't take it. Luke knew and that's the end of what could've been us. "I don't care if she has no money and she's not mentally physcotic, I promise, you're just an arrogant self absorbed ass hole along with those other people behind you, your sick" Luke spat at them, I may have ran but I can hear and it only made me cry harder. I wanted my blade but I'm 3 months clean I don't want to break the streak. "Katie, where are you" Luke called out. "Luke" I whimpered. He saw me immediately pulling me into his chest letting me cry. "Don't cry, I'm here" he whispered in my ear. I squeezed him tightly pulling away wiping my tears and smeared makeup. "Why did you tell him I'm your girlfriend" I asked this because I need to know where we stand. " I wanted to ask you on the Ferris wheel but I guess here will do, will you be my girlfriend Katie, please" he took my hands in his. "Yes" I blushed and before i knew it his lips molded against mine moving in perfect sync. His lips were soft and warm against mine and I allowed his tongue to slip in my mouth. Luke is perfect. He pulled away smiling like a dork. "Let's go home and cuddle" he smiled. I laced our fingers together and we walked back to his car. 

*skip to the apartment complex*

Once we got inn the elevator I pressed the button to the fifth floor. I didn't want him inside my place just yet, like Andrew told him, I have no money. "I was hoping we could go to yours" I said softly. "Of course we can" he kissed my temple. We got inside his apartment I noticed no one was home which was perfect because I wasn't in the mood for any other human interaction besides Luke. "Here are some makeup wipes, Katie" "thanks you, um, where's your bathroom" I felt awkward asking that question all the time growing up. "Down the hall but hold on one moment" I stood there as Luke walked into what was probably his bedroom. "Here's one of my shirts and I pair of sweats I though you'd want to be more comfortable" Luke scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Thank you" i smiled at him. I went into the bathroom wiping the extra makeup off immediately. I changed into lukes clothes which was like a dress on me. He's so damn tall. I walked out placing my clothes at the foot of his bed. I climbed in next to him noticing the only thing he was wearing was a pair of sweats. He has a good body, I thought to myself. Luke pulled me against him so my head was resting on his chest and our legs were tangled together. It was comforting. "Katie" "yes Luke" "what did that guy mean when he said you had no money and why did he call you mentally unstable" Luke kissed my head but this didn't make it any easier. "You know forget about that was really personal" "no Luke I need to tell you at some point" "are you sure" "I guess" I took a deep breath beginning my story. "My family works double shifts a lot just so we can get by. I've lived in that one apartment my whole life and my parents were basically never around, I had to grow up very quickly. I had a job by the time I was 13 and I worked constantly. Once I started making good money my parents didn't work as much but they still worked to the point where they are barely home. As I got older my parents found better paying jobs but that didn't make the money situation any better. My parents are calm people but do have there moments. I was diagnosed with anxiety and mild depression by 12 and" I had to stop I could feel the lump forming in my throat and tears were threatening to spill over. "You don't have to go on" Luke comforted me as he felt my breathing got heavier because I was holding back tears. "I started harming myself when I was 14 and my friends found out and ditched me and I literally have fucking no one and it hurts Luke, it hurts so much and you're the only thing that keeps me going and I've been clean for a while but I relapsed like 3 weeks ago and I'm so fucked up Luke" I sobbed into his chest and I just don't want him to leave me. "Please don't leave me" I mumbled into his chest. "I'll never leave you baby" my grip tightened around him at his words. "Care too much for you to leave you because you aren't happy. But well get through this, you'll get through this. I believe in you Katie. I'm not going to give up on you like the rest" Luke hovered over me and I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer to kiss him. I'm falling hard for him, fast. "You're so beautiful baby girl" he kissed my forehead and my heart hammered in my chest at his words. "You're perfect Luke and I don't know much about your past like you now know mine but it your ever feeling down I'm here for you okay we haven't been together long but that isn't going to change how I feel torwards you" I kissed him again and he layed back beside me and I curled into his chest greatful for this boy I met no more than a month ago and I could now call mine.
