A Life Like Ours (ON HOLD 3 CH LEFT)

Will You Be Mine Again?

He just had to show up at my house the next day. I'll admit, I still have MAJOR feelings for him, but whenever I think of him, I can't stop seeing that freaking girl kissing him! UGH!! I'm so messed up!

My brother opened the door to Luke standing in the doorway. I shot up the stairs, & slammed my bedroom door. But I could hear Noah & Luke talking, "She's in her room," Noah said.

"Yeah, I kinda noticed that, man. I mean with the slamming & stuff. Both u & your sister have this habit of stating the obvious," Luke replied. "Gotta go talk to your sis, Bye."

My heart raced. He was coming here. I gotta hide! Thanks to my WONDERFUL mom, I don't have a lock on my door. I dove inside the closet & closed the door. Outside, I could hear Luke.

"Nellie, Nel please come out. I just wanna explain some stuff. Please," he said.

I started crying. JUST GREAT! 

He opened the closet door.

"I'm not coming out, you bastard!" I said. I tried to sound fierce, but I'm pretty sure it came out as a squeak.

"Fine, I'm a bastard. But you're my darling & you don't have to come out, I'm coming in," he said softly.

I cried harder.

He came & sat down next to me. I tried to glare at him, but it looked more like I'm helpless.

"I am not your darling," I said.

I got as far away as I can from him in my small closet, got up & tried to open the door, but he grabbed my arm & pulled me into his chest. I tried to pull away, but NO, WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE SO STRONG?!!

"Gosh, you're strong. Let me go Luke. I wan't to be alone," I said.

"You can be alone with me," he said.

"No," I replied.

"Listen Nel, I'm so sorry. I...I really am, I didn't mean to hurt you. But, at least let me explain," he said hopefully.

I sighed. I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself. So, I said, "Go ahead."

Relief flooded all over his face. "Thank you," he said, then continued. "On Tuesday, Remy came up to me & started talking," he paused taking a deep breath & then continued. "She was my brother's ex, & she kept kissing me, I tried pushing her away, but she always caught me off guard & just kept doing it, &......I should have told you, but I just couldn't because she threatened to hurt you if I didn't kiss her."

&, I keeping breaking down. I'm so weak. But, he held me tight.

"Shhhh," he said.

"I......I'm sorry," I said.

"My fault," he told me.

"No, it's not. You were trying to protect me, I overreacted quite a bit. But I just couldn't bear the thought of losing you," I said through tears.

"You're not losing me & I'm not ever giving you up. You're a star, you should know that," he said.

Then he kissed me.

"Bear the thought of losing you."         ----         Too love struck, don't u guys think?
