Abused//L.H. COMPLETE

Ch 38

Luke's taking for fricken ever in the bathroom. Maybe I should check on him. Nah, I don't want to seem clingy.

"So do you have a job?" My mom asks. 

"uh, no." I say trying not to seem rude. 

"oh." She says. 

"Well the thing is, is just this year." I start I don't want her to think this just happened even though it did. "I left the house, our old one, where dad lived, to meet up Meghan." I point to her over by the grill. "and I passed out in Starbucks, I chuckle a little, where we had met." my mothers face becomes saddened knowing that this is how I got away from 'dad'. "I went to the hospital and Luke" and just as I say Luke he comes out of the house and sits next to me. "Luke um brought me there with Meghan and the doctors and some police had found out my background and told me I was no longer able to live with him, thank god" I add my own commentary. "So Meghan's mom had told me I was able to live here, and I guess I haven't quite gotten back on my feet yet, well enough to get a job." I say done with my story. "Well actually I got offered a modeling job which I'm still considering." 

I look over to Luke to notice his smile bigger than usual. 

"Oh I see." My mother says. Wow bitch nice response. As you can see I haven't fully forgiven her for leaving me with my so called dad. "I'm so proud of you, I don't think I would be able to do what you have done." That's more like it. 

I sit there a bit awkwardly. Luke has the biggest smile on his face and its starting to creep me out. I poke his face, "Why are you so happy?" I ask trying not to seem super rude.

"I'll tell you later," Luke then lets out the creepiest laugh I have ever heard. 

"I'm sorry, mom" I really hesitate on the word 'mom'. Luke then snaps out of his creepy trance once I say 'mom'.  

"I changed my mind." Luke blurts out, in more of a yell than a regular talking volume. All of our friends look our way including my mom. 

"Well what is it?" I say excited, because I really enjoy surprises. 

"Blurt it out fricker." Meghan yells at Luke.

"Luke what have you done now?" Ashton asks, with his arm around Meghan's waist. 

"Okay so," Luke takes a dramatic pause. "I called our managers because I couldn't stand Mandy being sad about us leaving anymore." 

NO. FUCKING. WAY. 

My eyes start crying, as I think I know what Luke is going to say. 

"All you girls can come with us!" I cry, of joy. I lean over and hug Luke and kiss him on the cheek. 

"REALLY?!?!?!" Meghan screams kissing Ashton.

"Yes." Luke says very excited. Ashton hugs Meghan very tightly, its really a cute sighting. I look up at Luke and smile, I haven't smiled this big in a very long time. "I'm so excited to spend the next six months with you!" Luke says I hug him and smile wide into his shoulder.

"I'm really excited too Luke!" I say hugging him tighter.

"FOODS DONE!!!" Ashton yells starting to carry the food inside. Its a good idea to eat inside, the mosquitoes are starting to annoy me. We all follow him inside having small talk with each other. 

"Luke come set the table with me please." I say sounding too much like a mother. 

"Okay." He says and follows joyously like a little boy. I hand him our ratchet paper plates, and I get silverware that Meghan mom got us. We set everything out on the table and all get sat down. My phone dings so I look down to check it. Its an email from the main police officer that searched my house with his crew. I unlock my phone to check the email. 

Dear Amanda Steele, 

              I am contacting you to inform you that your fathers insurance is required, by certain rules from a contract signed on your birth date, to give you a generous amount of his funds in his bank account(s). I am happy to inform you $25,000 will be added to your bank account. I do need you to come down to the court office sometime tomorrow to get your banking information. Please email me back as soon as possible. 

-Officer Ramirez

"Oh my God." I say out loud. 

"What?" Luke says. 

"Yay another surprise!" Meghan says in a cheery voice.

"What is it dear?" My mom says. 

"I got an email, from Officer Ramirez." I say and then read the email aloud.

~~~~~

"Seems Legit." Luke says. 

"Yeah, I think it could be real, but the question is how your father even got that much money. I mean he was never a worker. He was a lazy man, part of the reason I left him." I feel a bit of hatred towards my mother for reminding me she left. "I could go with you tomorrow to be sure, if you want." 

"Sure," I say. 

"Ill come too." Ever since 'my mom' has claimed to be my mom, Luke hasn't seemed to trust her, but  I'm not sure I do either.
