Beside You (Luke Hemmings FanFiction)

Chapter 3

I didn't feel the need to wake up today. I had been debating whether or not to tell my mum. She would only freak out and never let me be alone, ever. My mind still couldn't even wrap itself around that I could've been raped last night. If it weren't for Luke, Luke... Another thing I could've believe. Luke, of all people in this world, Luke had been the one to save me.

"Paige! Are you okay? Everyone heard about what happened. Did he touch you? Did he do anything? Why didn't you call the police?" I felt like I was playing 20 questions.

"Faith, I'm fine. Yes he did touch me but not anywhere bad."

"Anywhere bad? Are you serious? Him alone touching you is bad, thank god Luke had saved you." I felt something trigger in me. Luke. He probably was gloating about how he saved a poor helpless girl.

"Did he tell you this?"

"No. Well kinda, I overheard him. I'm surprised though, Luke Hemmings saving you."

"Yeah, yeah I know. Can we just not talk about it? It's not something I want to keep thinking about." I spoke with a hint of annoyance in my voice. I felt bad being rude to my bestfriend but it is a touchy subject.

Somehow I hadn't seen Luke all day. He probably knew I was going to say something to him if I did. Through out the school day everyone was giving me sympathy. Wasn't it just the day before everyone had hated me for some unknown reason? Oh wait, the reason was because Luke hated me and everyone in that school worships him. Don't ask me why.

As I sat down on the couch I heard the front door close. Mum was home. This was going to be good.

"Paige Marie Atkins why did you not tell me you went out last night?"

"You were asleep" I simply answered even though I knew what she meant and where this was going.

"I sure would have woken up if I had known you were almost raped! Paige you should not keep these things to yourself, if it weren't for Luke I would've never known"

"Well it's not Luke's place to tell you! I was going to tell you when you got home but you beat me to it." I lie. I have nothing else so why not try.

"Okay hunny, but this is not something you take lightly. We need to call the police and send in a report."

"Mum it's fine. He hardly touched me. I think he was drunk too, I smelt the alcohol on him."I continued to lie.

"I don't care, I'm telling the police no matter what you say. I don't want this happening again Paige. It's for yours and everyone's safety, but first I have a compromise for you." What did she mean? Its probably just going to have a set curfew or have to tell her everytime I go out.

"I want you to make sure someone is around you everytime you go out. I already talked to Luke and he agreed." My jaw dropped. Why did Luke have to keep being involved in my life? Did no one realize how much I despise him?

"No mum. I'm 18, and I graduate highschool tomorrow. I do not need a babysitter. Certainly not Luke!" I yelled. Even though she is my mother and she's only doing what's best, I don't need a babysitter.

"Don't you yell at me young lady! This is your fault."

"Me being almost raped is my fault? Really?"

"Yes because you were stupid enough to go out that late at night without anyone! Now go to your room we will finish this later."

"Thanks mum and no we won't. There's nothing to finish. Luke will not be my babysitter, that's final." With that I stormed upstairs. Even if she is my mother she has no right to do what she's doing. I'm 18. I am an adult now. She's treating me like a kid.

"Rough day?" My head shot up. What?

"I'm over here." I turned around and looked to my window. Luke was sitting across from me in his window.

" Yeah thanks to you." Why was I even talking to him?

" Sorry about that. I thought she already knew... But anyway can't wait to become bestfriends." The smirk was smug on his face.

" No we wont. Don't get too happy, I still don't like you." I shouted slamming the window shut. Everyone was annoying me today. It just seemed like every word anyone said was getting under my skin. The only way I knew to forget everything was to sleep. So that's what I did, I laid back and drifted off into a stress free world.

A/n I hate this chapter just saying I probably will Change it a bit or not. So yeah I'm going to try and post again tomorrow. Sorry this was written at 3am
