Luke took me to the local diner to get chocolate milkshakes. I was so happy and I don't think I've ever been this happy. "You're so happy baby" luke giggled sipping from the green colored straw. "I feel on top of the world right now" I rested my head on his shoulder taking a sip from the thick chocolate-y substance. "I'm glad you feel this way" luke kissed the side of my head wrapping on arm around my waist. We spent a good hour at the diner talking about a lot of things. I'm happy we talk about anything, we have such a strong bond, we trust each other, luke coming into my life was the best thing to happen to me. We went back to the apartment complex and back to his place to make quesadillas and then I had to go back to mine. "These are the best quesadillas ever" I exclaimed stuffing the whole thing in my mouth. "I'm glad you think so" he giggled. After we finished and cleaned up luke brought me back to my apartment. "I had such a good day today" I said dropping his hand wrapping my arms around his waist. "So did I baby, I'll see you tomorrow okay, maybe we can go to the beach" he said wrapping his arms around my small frame. "I'd like that" I smiled. "I love you" he said resting his forehead against mine. "I love you too luke" I kissed him. He pulled back slowly kissing my forehead one last time before letting me go. I unlocked the door shutting it quietly behind me going to take a shower. Once I was done I towel dried it changing into a shirt that luke left here and my favorite sweats. I did my normal nightly routine. Once my hair felt damp I French braided it again, leaving it in over night so I had nice waves in the morning. I texted luke before bed. 

To luke: hey baby I'm going to bed. Goodnight, I'll see tomorrow, I love you

From luke: goodnight sunshine, I'll pick you up after school again, I love you too (-:

I put my phone on the charger before falling into a peaceful sleep.

*the next day*

Last night I slept for probably a good 4 hours before waking up at 3 in the morning to see we have no power. I was up for quite awhile, a good 50 minutes or so before it finally came back on. I barely got any sleep so needless to say I'm dead tired. And of course I have to walk to school so I did the only thing I could. I woke up luke and asked him to drive me. 

To luke: hey baby, do you mind driving me to school? 

From luke: tell me when you're ready. 

I was ready by 7:10 and went up to lukes to get him. I wore his sweater, a pair of ripped jeans and my all black vans. Luke answered the door shirtless and looked completely out of it. "Are you okay luke, I can walk" "no everything is fine" he mumbled kissing my forehead. Luke grabbed his keys off the key holder grabbing my hand as we walked to the car. The whole ride was silent and I was sensing luke was upset about something. He pulled into a parking space and I looked at his facial expression. He had giant bags under his eyes and they looked a little puffy, as if he was crying. "I love you" he mumbled, his voice was shaking. He was trying to hide something I could tell. "Baby are you sure your okay" I grabbed his hand. He started to nod but tears started to well in his eyes and he just broke down. "I'm far from okay right now" he sobbed into my neck as I held him closer to me. "Everything will be okay, luke, don't cry" I rubbed his back. "What's wrong" I wiped the tears from his cheeks. Luke took a shaky breath running a hand through his messy hair before answering. "Last night after I dropped you off my mom came home about an hour after I did and it was late and I was exhausted and I guess she was too. And she was really drunk. So my mom started throwing shit everywhere and was throwing every insult in the book at me and she started telling me that I'm a mistake and that I should've died in the car wreck that killed my dad and my bothers and that I'm nothing and that you don't love me. I'm a fucking mistake Katie, I shouldn't even be here" he had tears slip down his cheeks and he was holding back his sobs. Tears were in my eyes. My boyfriend is anything but a mistake. I'm so grateful he's alive. "You're anything but a mistake baby" I pulled him into me hugging him so tight. "I love you so fucking much don't listen to her, I'm more than grateful that you're alive. I can't picture myself without you. The last 5 months have been incredible okay, you deserve to be alive " I kissed him hard. His lips moving with mine. I pulled away resting my forehead against his. "I have to go to class luke" I mumbled. "Okay, I'll be fine Katie, go to class I'll text you and I'll be here right when you get out" he sniffed, his tears coming to a halt. "Are you sure" I ran a hand through his hair. "Yes baby, I'm sure" he kissed my forehead. "Okay, I love you" "I love you too" he said.  Needless to say I was late to school by 15 minutes. I couldn't concentrate at all that day. I was exhausted from lack of sleep to begin with and then luke had that happen with his mom. I was stressed and I was tired and I was worried. I got out of school quickly. I just wanted to cuddle and go to sleep with luke. He needs the sleep anyway, I doubt he got any while I wasn't there. "Hey luke" I kissed his cheek, hoping in the car. "Hey baby" he put the car in reverse backing out of the spot before turning the car into drive to get us back to the complex. "Luke can we go back to my place and just rest, I'm exhausted" I grabbed his free hand, lacing our fingers together. "Of course babe, I'm exhausted myself, I barely slept and then the power went out at like 3, last night was a mess" he said turning into the parking lot. "I know, I didn't sleep either" I let out a yawn. We hoped out of the car, grabbing lukes hand again and we walked to my apartment this time. My parents were t home as usual. I changed into lukes shirt and a pair of sweats while luke just laid in my bed in only his stripped boxers. I joined him under the sheets resting my head against his chest and his arms were around my waist holding me close to him. "Rest up baby, I'll be here when you wake up" he said into my ear kissing me head. "Same here luke, you need it, I love you" I kissed his chest. "I love you too" 

It was the best sleep both of had in a while.
