Take My Hand- L.H fanfic

Chapter 9 Family History

I wasn't sure how I felt about having Luke's dad being my mums boss, if she gets hired. Who am I kidding, she sold fucking 3 million copies all over the world. She's an amazing writer, who wouldn't want to hire her. Stressed, I put the journal away in my binder, waiting for the bell to ring.

The bell rings and the mob of kids are everywhere. Off to lunch they go or some of them off to another class. I go to lunch, after putting my things away in my locker I head down to the cafeteria. I couldn't help but smile when Ashton appears by my side.

"So I'll see you at my house tonight right?" Ashton asks, his smile as big as the school and as bright as snow.

"I wasn't planning on it, I was actually gonna see my aunt today," I replied leaving out that Luke was going too, Ashton just nodded his head and said how I should come by his house and hang out with everyone again.

We entered through the tan double doors and everyone is in line for food. I walked up in line when Luke screams my name. I turn my head his direction and found 5 trays all around him.

"Come here," he screams once again. I walked over to the corner of the room, where the vending machines are and where most of the frat or skater boys eat.

"You got me my lunch?" I question, surprised by his gratitude. His eyes were some how brighter shade of blue. His hair, spiked up and out of his face. He's flawless and he doesn't even know it. Ok flawless wasn't the right word. He's still a jack ass, and a smart ass, and so many asses that I'll start to lose track after 10 asses.

"You sound surprised," he smiles.

"Because I am, looks like you got everyone lunch. That's must have cost a lot, I'll pay you back if you want," I rambled but Luke interrupted.

"No need, I don't need the extra money," right because his dad owns a publishing company. I wonder who all knows.

"Well, thank you Luke. That was very nice of you," Madison stalks up to us with Brooke by her side. Madison's hair is up and out of her face making it clear to see the bruises on her face.

"Who the hell did that?!" I say, scanning Madison's face. The bruises are a nasty color of purple and blue, showing it had happen recently.

"Mackenzie and her twit friend Hazel," Madison answered. She looked over in her direction and I meet my eyes at her. Her red curly hair bounces up and down. A huge smirk plastid on her face. That bitch!

"What for," Luke eyes burned with rage. The face I saw when he beaten up Jeremiah came back. Cold, heartless expression on his face.

"Saying how a hoe like me Shouldn't be around you or anyone in this school, she says that I acted like a queen bitch. I spit in her face and she took one punch on the side of my cheek than ran away," she eats a piece of pizza off her plate. "Bitch, can't even fight me, she had to run away," she laughed.

Luke's expression never changed and I felt small and scared somehow. I reached my hand up to his face and it looked like he was gonna put my hand off. But me doing that he calmed down.

Number one on my hit list: Mackenzie D.

I can tell that Luke was coming up ways to get back at her but I have a full book full of ways, I just need to get some dirt on her.

After school

I start walking as fast as I can before Luke realizes he lost me but to my avail, he caught up about three minutes later.

"Did you forget about me or something?" His cocky smile faces towards me.

"No, I just want to get there before my Aunt leaves," I explain. I tell him about my CEO dad again, telling him how my Aunt was my best friend since I met Jess.

"Interesting, the closest person in my family would have to be my mum. She was a reader and would read me all sorts of books. To Little women to Great Gaspy. That's how we bonded, she died of breast cancer when I was 7. Growing up was hard and we kept moving every where but my dad always made it fun. We hang out every once in a while but he's a little too busy," he sighs as we cross the busy street, almost by the pizza place.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you lost your mum," I look down at my shoes, I couldn't imagine losing my mum. I was there for her when she was at her darkest moments and that goes same for me.

We walk past the pizza store and up to the main door. I look up at Luke and he's smiling like a goof ball. Even when he told me his family history but at the same time, I understand him a little bit more now.
