Youtubers We Love. [A Landon Austin Fanfic]

Chapter Thirty Two: Luke.

I saw Luke running down the sidewalk. He saw exactly where I was, and slid down into the ditch with me. He gave me a huge hug, and put his sweater on me.

Luke: What are you doing out here?

Erika: I needed to get away, all the pressure of being back in Philly, and Landon... kissing that girl. How could he? I thought he was better than that...

Luke: He is better than that! Do you honestly think he'd hurt you?

Erika: I thought he-

Luke: You thought nothing. You know in your heart he wouldn't do that.

He put his finger on my heart, and looked up at me.

Luke: Right here. 

Erika: Then why'd he do it?

Luke: He didn't. Lottie did. She even made this tweet.

He gave me his phone. Twitter was open, and it was a tweet about how she kissed Landon, and how she got away with it. I wanted to smash the phone, but it's Luke's, I could never. Now, speaking of Luke, you'r probably wondering why I wanted Luke. Ever since we talked, yanno, after the Ingrid incident, we've had a bond, some kind of connection. He's that kind of person who you can tell anything to, because he'll tell you everything, as long as he can trust you, and something between us just felt... trustworthy.

Luke: He didn't try to hurt you, he didn't cheat. He loves you, Erika. More than anyone he's ever been with. You can't imagine the things he talks about. About you, and about him, but mostly, about you and him together. 

Erika: Like what?

Luke: About your wedding, and your kids. How they are gonna be the most talented, beautiful kids, because they're gonna come from you. He doesn't want you to leave, he never wants you to leave, and that's why he proposed so soon. He thought someone else, someone better looking, or, someone less shy would come and sweep you off your feet, and he wanted to let everyone know that he loves you.

I got on my knees and hugged Luke. He hugged me back, then stood me and him up.

Luke: Now, let's go find your fiance.

From being wet, cold, and in a ditch for about 6 hours made me weak. Luke put his arm around my back, giving me support. We walked about one minute before we say Alex. He rushed over, and patted me head to toe. 

Alex: ERIKA! Are you alright?

Erika: I'm fine...

Luke: She'll be fine when we get her in actual clothes.

Alex: Where's Landon?

Luke: Call him, from Erika's phone.

I pulled my phone out and unlocked it.

*Phone Call*

Landon: BABE! THANK GOD YOU'RE OKAY! WHERE ARE YOU?

Alex: That'sa pretty weird name for your best friend.

Landon: Alex? Where's Erika? Is she with you? Is she okay?

Alex: Just get to the hotel! NOW!

He hung up the phone, and handed it to me. I felt awful, worse than I'd ever felt, like I could just drop dead. I felt better when I was alone, and even though I knew I couldn't go back, I wanted to. I hadn't felt like this since my mom died, and I hated every second of living. I was in a horrible state of depression, and it looks like it's come back. I sat down, and buried my face in my arms. It gave me an odd sensation that I was alone again. Suddenly I was rushed to my feet in a huge hug.
