Away From Him. Book 2

Chapter 14

Courtney's POV

I wake up next morning smelling something good.

I yawn and get out of bed.

I go downstairs and I see something on the table.

It was waffles.

I turn around and see like standing there. I laugh and he does too.

"Did you make this?" I ask

"Yes, yes I did" he says

"They look really good" I tell him

"They probably are not cooked all the way." He says.

"Well ever person who cooks always used the toothpick." I tell him.

I grab a toothpick and put it in one of the waffles. I take it out and nothing is on it.

"This ones good" I tell him.

I get a plate and put the waffle on it.

I pick one more waffle and I try it and it's also good.

"These two are good" I say. "Want to just eat these?"

"Yes" Luke laughs

"Okay" I say walking over to the counter.

I put down the plate getting syrup and butter.

I put syrup then some butter on mine. Then I pass it over to Luke him doing the same.

I cut a piece of the waffle off and eat it.

"This is good." I say

"Thanks. I don't know how you didn't wake up. The fire alarm kept going off."  He laughs.

"That must of been why there was buzzing in my dreams." I say.

"Probably" he says making me smile.

"So want to go hang out today?" I ask

"Yeah sure! What do you want to do?" He asks

"Hmm... How about the park?" I ask chuckling.

"Sounds great." He says.

"Okay" I say finishing off my waffle.

"What time do you want to go?" He asks.

"How about 3 o'clock." I say

"Great." He smiles.

"Well in going to go get ready." I say putting my dishes in the sink.

"Okay. I'll come get you when I'm ready." He says "call me when you're ready."

I go up to my room and start to get ready. I get out a black shirt with laced design at the chest.

I then go look for a skirt. I find a light blue skirt and I put it over the black shirt.

I then do my makeup. I put golden eyeshadow with white. I then do winged eyeliner and some mascara.

I curl my hair. Then I put deodorant and perfume on.

I look in the mirror and I actually look good. I look at the time and see that I'm right on time.

I call Luke.

On the third ring he answers.

"Ready" I say

"Great. I'm ready as well. I'll come get you." He says.

I hang up and go downstairs seeing Lexi and Ashton.

"Hello you two" I say.

"Ohhhh why so dressy?" Lexi asks

"I'm going out with Luke." I tell her.

"I'm happy you guys are trying to get together again." Ashton says.

"Yeah. I forgot how much I missed him." I say.

"You two are cute together. You can tell if someone saw you two they would say the same thing." Lexi says.

"Thanks." I smile.

I wait for Luke.

I wait.

And wait.

And wait.

And wait. But Luke still isn't here. I sigh.

He isn't here yet.

Lexi and Ashton went up stairs to watch some movies.

But I'm still down here waiting.

I look at the time and it's 10:00pm. I sigh and walk upstairs and I go to my room. I take the dress off and I put jeans on and a t-Shirt.

I go to my bed and lay down.

Tears roll down my face as I look at the ceiling.

"Why would he do this?" I ask myself.

I roll to my side and I fall asleep.

•3 AM•

I wake up getting a phone call.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hello is this Courtney?" I hear.

"Yes, why who is this?" I ask.

"This is Jenna from your local hospital. Do you know a Luke Hemmings, you're in his contact list?" She asks.

"Y-yes." I say getting nervous.

"Well Luke came in earlier today with several injuries after being hit by a car." She says.

I drop the phone screaming.

"LEXI! ASHTON!" I say with tears flowing down my cheeks.

They both come rushing in my room. They run towards me.

"What's wrong?" Lexi asks with a nervous face.

"L-Luke's in the h-hospital." I say. "H-he was hit b-by a car."

"We have to get to the hospital." Ashton says.

"I-I can't move." I say "I can't feel a-anything but weak."

Ashton picks me up bridal style and rushes out to the car. He lays me in the backseat buckling me in. He shuts the door and goes to the front seat.

He starts the car. Then we go to the hospital.
