Chapter Nine

Luke's P.O.V

I stared across at Lily who was crashed out on my bed. The room was deadly silent. As if they had heard the silence and wanted to destroy it, my phone rang loudly, echoing and bouncing off of each wall. After fumbling with my phone and nearly dropping it, I stood up and answered it, exiting the room.

Lily's P.O.V

I woke up to the sound of All Time Low. My cheek was throbbing and so was my head, but my eyes widened as I adjusted to my surroundings and realised I had no idea where I was. I could see a bathroom across the room, there were some posters hung on the dark blue walls, a few clothes slung across the floor and it smelt of after shave. Was I at Jake's house?!

I started to freak out quietly, and sat up too quick. Bile rose to my mouth and I ran towards the toilet and started to puke. Luckily, it lasted for about 1 minute. I got up and flushed the toilet, rinsing my mouth out with some mouth wash I found at the sink. I stared at myself in the mirror and frowned. Pale, bruised, and dark eyed. As I turned around to leave, my heartbeat quickened when I saw Luke stood right in front of me. 

"You're awake."

"What am I doing here?" I whispered, my voice croaky. My cheek really hurt whenever I moved it, so I carefully placed my hand over it in shame.

"I got you a drink and some medicine here. Oh and an ice pack for your face." He mumbled softly, yet awkwardly. He looked at me and started walking into the bedroom. I'm guessing this was his house.

I slowly followed him and thanked him whilst taking the medicine and swallowing it with some water. "I didn't know he would do that.." I broke the silence after a few seconds.

Luke ushered me to sit on his bed since I was just stood in the doorway of the bathroom. He was sat near his pillows, so I sat at the edge of the bed, knotting my fingers together. After a while of him not answering, he nodded and then frowned. "I told you to stay away from him. He's a prick!" He raised his voice slightly, making me jump.

"I tried to but he just grabbed m-"

"Why didn't you walk off when he walked over to you?!" Luke shouted, tugging at his hair. 

Why was he shouting at me?

"I didn't know he would do that!" I repeated, also raising my voice. If he wanted to have a screaming fight then he'd sure get one.

"OF COURSE HE WOULD DO THAT!" Luke yelled, launching himself off of his bed and pacing in the room, ruffling his already messy hair.

This wasn't helping my headache. "ONLY DICKHEADS LIKE YOU, JAKE AND YOUR GANG WOULD DO THAT. ANY NORMAL PERSON WOULDN'T!!!" I regretted what I yelled as soon as it left my lips. My eyes scanned Luke's to find some sort of thought or incoming actions, but he just looked blankly at me.

"You know what Lily. I'm trying to change for the better." Was all he said. My heart shattered. I felt horrible, and it didn't help that he had a look of a sad puppy across his face.

"I-I'm sor-"

"Get out."

"I didn't mean it, Luke" I mumbled, wincing as my cheek throbbed even harder.

"I SAID GET OUT!!!" He screamed, throwing my glass of water against the wall. I gasped and ran out quickly, trying not to fall down the steep stairs. The door slammed behind me and as soon as my body was out of the house, an unexpected sob escaped my lips.

Why was I so affected by this? He was a dickhead who clearly had anger problems. 

I had no idea where I was or how I could get home, so I decided to call a taxi and let them find the way back to my house. When it arrived, I slumped down in the back and got my money out, ready to pay him. It was probably a 15 minute journey back to my house, and it started raining again as soon as I got out of the taxi. 

With a sigh, I unlocked my door and put my keys away. 

I felt a tap at my shoulder and saw a drenched in rainwater Luke. His hair flattened and his clothes were soaking wet. "Lily."

"What do you want?" I mumbled, the rain flattening my hair too. 

"I'm sorry that I acted like tha-"

"You scared me Luke. I didn't mean to say what I did but you petrified me when you threw that glass. I though you-" I stopped myself and looked at the ground.

"You thought what?" He whispered, staring intensely at me.

"I thought you were going to hit me." I said slowly, breaks in between each word.

"SUPRISE!!!!!!" Tyler, Josh and Maisy tugged my front door open.
