RAELYNN'S POV

I would never admit to Luka that I hated the kiss the moment it started. I would never tell him that I was only imagining his lips kissing me instead of Josh's. I would never tell him how I thankful I was for him stepping in when he did because I really didn't know how much farther Josh would have gone. If I were to admit those truths then he would feel justified in what he did and I can't allow him to think he was right. Because what he did was wrong.

He's not allowed to get upset with me when he lost his virginity at fifteen. He was the same age I am and he lost it to a girl that was two years older than him. He can't have a double standard when it comes to me just because I'm his angel... which I am more than ok with being. It's just not fair.

I only came up here to relax not get worked up again. I was able to convince Josh that Luka was my step-brother that is super over-protective and he can be a douche. He tried to laugh at my joke but he could barely breathe. Doctor Ewan said he will recover in a day or so and already called his parents to let them know he was staying over. They were reluctant at first but agreed after Ewan gave them no other choice. Thank goodness.

"Hey are you ok in here?" I move away from the door that I apparently have been standing beside for Lord knows how long and let Willow in. I know what she's going to say and I hate that she was right in her theory about how Luka feels about me.

"Yeah I'll be fine. I need to get dressed for that dinner tonight." I tell her trying to make her leave. I want to be alone to wallow in my hurt feelings. But Willow takes that as an invitation to close the door and sit on my bed. It times like these when I wish we still hated each other.

"You can use whatever excuse you want to get rid of me but it won't work. I'm staying until I know you're ok." She's earnest when she says this and I smile in gratitude.

"I just... One minute Josh is explaining why Pluto isn't a planet anymore and the next he's kissing me. It all happened so fast... you know he was my first kiss?" Willow laughs and tries to cover it up as a cough.

"Lynn everyone knows he was your first kiss! I'm sure you imagined your kiss to be with Luka didn't you?" She's mocking me. It's easy to see but I can't get angry at her because, as usual, she's right.

"Yeah." Willow pats on the spot beside her and I sit down sadly. I'm pathetic.

"He didn't push your limits right?" Willow asks cautiously. She sounds so concerned with me that it's hard to believe.

"What do you mean?"

"Did he touch you anywhere that you didn't want him to?" I shiver in disgust at the memories of his hand on my stomach. It was clammy and gross and I hated it. I always envisioned my first kiss going so much better than that.

"His hand was on my stomach but other than that no. I kinda hated it."

"This is a blessing in disguise!" She says excitedly. My eyebrows furrow at her happiness and I cross my arms in annoyance.
