Hidden Secrets ft Luke Brooks

Four

Aurora's P.O.V

We were sitting in my fathers car right now, driving off to the familycabin somewhere in the woods. The ride itself was horrible, there was a huge tension between everyone.

When all the familymembers had arrived at our home, we split everyone up, deviding each person into little groups of the cars, so the ones without a license could come too.

Luke and I were placed in my fathers car as I had already said, along with my mum and my nephew. It was quite cozy at the backseat, being squished by my boyfriend and nephew at the same time. It was good as long as Yosha stayed away from me. Thank goodness he came with his own car, so he wouldn't be placed in here aswell.

But everytime Luke's arm or knee would touch mine, my heart would beat faster by the minute. And not in a good way..

Ever since Yosha had harrassed me like that, I felt nothing more than fright and anxiety bubble inside my stomach. Even when Luke would just smile at me I wanted to cry. A big lump was stuck in my throat eversince, and it sucked. I felt horrible eventhough the family weekend hadn't even started yet. I felt dirty, used, and unloyal towards Luke, though I never did anythingg.

We had driven for already an hour now and I wanted to get out of this car as soon as possible. Why did it took so long?

As we had almost reached our destination; the cabin, my nephew wanted to braid my hair for some reason. I told him no, he would notice the hicky right away, and then I would be in big trouble.

Luke never really had given me a hicky before so I didn't know what to do about it. I just tried to cover it up with my hair, as it was too hot for a scarf now, although being in the forest might be helpful while it was a bit cooler down here than in the big city, but I wasn't going to wear them in summer. It would be odd.

I sighed, feeling quite tensed about the situation. Luke noticed me being stressed and grabbed my hand, squeezing it slightly. 'What's wrong?' He whispered in my ear, so only I would be able to hear it. I shook my head, not willing to tell him the truth, well atleast not with my parents and nephew in the same car as me. 'Nothing, just a bit tensed, that's all' I said, faking a smile. I was really good at it. Nobody had ever noticed it, nor questioned me about it. He frowned a little. 'Just relax 'kay? It's a familyweekend, it should be fun!' He answered, looking into my eyes, like he was observing me, looking through me to see if I was telling the truth or not. I felt awkward, not knowing if I should turn my head, or stare back. But before i could make a decision the car came to an end as the roaring sound of the motor being turned off filled the car. 'We're here!' My dad chirped happily. Great.

'Finally!' my nephew sighed while looking outside. I looked out the front window and saw this cozy two-levelled house standing in an open field, surrounded by trees everywhere. It looked astonishing, every window had a balcony, just big enough for one small person to fit in bit still. A balcony was a balcony In my perspection. I looked behind me and saw three other cars approuching the lawn. My aunts, my forever alone uncle and.. Him..

I quickly glanced around seeing everybody had already stepped out of the car. 'You coming?' Luke asked, popping his head into the cardoor.

'Yeah of course! I was just looking at the house' I said quickly, clicking the seatbelt open and stepping out. A nice smell filled my nostrils. A smell you'd only find in the forests, full of oxygen and wealth of the nature. I already liked it here. The area was filled with peace, which calmed me down a little. I sighed, here we go.

Me and Luke had helped to carry everyone's luggage into the house, including our own. It had took a while, but we were done now.
