Hidden Secrets ft Luke Brooks

Five

'Honey?' I heard my mum speak up. 'Are you in there?' She said again, knocking on the bathroom door. 'Yeah, coming' I whispered, my voice had just cracked. Oops.

'Did you cry sweetheart?' Mum asked again. 'No' I said sternly. I did cry, but I was trying to cover it up for mum. I had no need to explain any further explanation for her.

'Are you sure? Nothing happened? No fights with Luke? You can always come to me if you want! You can tell me everything cupcake' she exclaimed. 'Mum, I swear, nothing happened, just a bit hoarse because we all got a bit too excited in the bedrooms earlier picking' I stated. Does it sound believable? I really hope so. I felt horrible, and I wish I could tell her everything, but I can't. I just wanted to hug her and cry my heart out, and just go home. Leave this place. All those things made me feel trapped, just like a scared bird in a cage, too frightened to let go, to float through the wind, being as free as it can be, but I couldn't. Because I had to stay here, and pretend to be all jolly with my family.

After another minute spent in the toilet sitting on the lid I flushed and unlocked the door. Just when I wanted to walk out someone stopped me.
'Are you alright?' My niece asked with a somewhat worried look on his face. 'Why does everybody keep asking me?'
I said bewildered. Did it look so obvious? 'Uh, well since the moment we arrived here you have acted so distant, and.. Weird. You have spent half an hour in that bathroom!' Noah said. Holding up his hands in defeat. 'Is there something you want to talk about? I'm all ears' he whispered, in case somebody would hear us. I really wanted to keep it for myself, so there wasn't really anything to discuss here.
'Wait, how long exactly have I been in here?' I asked, pretending like I didn't hear him.
'Uh.. I don't know, long? I guess?' He said, pulling the nape of his neck. 'But really, if ya got any problems, I'm always there for you.'
He smiled. 'Thanks, I appreciate it' I mumbled. Shall I talk about it? I will ruin the familyweekend if I would, that's pretty obvious. So I'll pretend nothing happened at home, everythings perfectly fine.. 'How can you stay inside like that? it's so hot in here, I'm boiling! Everyone's outside, care to join?' He asked, looking through the windows where you could already see the others.
'I don't re-...' He cut me off. 'Please? Luke keeps asking everyone where you are, he doesn't really know our family that good, but he's talking to Yosha right now though, so he's not thát lonely, well he just needs you, basically'.
He smiled, but I felt all the colour in my face drain. Asshole. Prick, how dare you talk to my boy.

'I'll just grab my jacket, hold on a sec' and I ran into the other end of the hallway. 'But it's crazy warm outside, why would you get a jacket? Weirdo' he walked off, shaking his head, letting out a subtle laugh. I just stood there,
watching him step through the big glass white doors who let him towards the outdoor nature.
I really did want to speak to Luke, not
necessarily about what happened earlier, but just a conversation between him and I. Together. Being around him made me think of something else, happy things, I wouldn't worry about the traumatising stuff that happened this morning.

When I walked outside a gush of this warm breeze caressed my cheeks and arms. My whole family was spread around the big green field. A few nieces were playing hide and seek around a group of big trees and bushes, the elder people were chatting about whatever came up in their minds, and the rest of my family was laying in the grass patches, tugging at them, talking, laughing, giggling, spreading gossips about the latest whereabouts of celebrity's, and mostly just having fun. But, where was Luke? I searched down every corner, tree, bench, person, until I found him, a mere metres away from the house, sitting on a picknicktable with Yosha and Freddy. I hesitated for a second, but then I somehow felt myself walking towards them. 'Hey guys' I smiled. Luke stood up almost immediatly, draping his arms around my neck. 'Where were you? I missed you' he said, giving me a pouted look.
I gazed at his lipring for a moment, then spoke up.
'In the bathroom, I felt a little sick, but I'm better now' I smiled softly. 'You sure?' His eyes met mine again, worried. 'Yeah, i'm fine, don't worry about me' I laughed, tapping his nose with my fingertip. He was so sweet, I always loved it when people were concerned about me, then I didn't feel ignored for once in awhile, like I mattered. I knew there were plenty of people who cared about me, but still.
'I hate lovebirds' Freddy groaned, making me switch back to reality. 'Then get a girlfriend, mate' I laughed, patting him on the back. 'Your time will come, someday, I promise!' Luke said, while adoring my face. I almost forgot that Yosha was here too, until he spoke up. Looked like we all did, cause Freddy and Luke jumped a little when they heard his voice. He has a very deep voice though. Like how a villain in a Marvel film would sound like. 'Shall we get some food? You guys make me hungry' he snickered. I looked at him with disgust. Well Fuck you, I thought, but for my own will I stayed silent. I had no idear what he was capable of, so instead of making a fuss, I said something to get rid of him for a while. 'Go get it, why would you wait?' I gave him a glare. 'Alright, alright. But only if you go with me, Aurora. You guys want anything?' He looked at them for a moment before standing up. 'No' I said sternly. 'I'll stay, you guys go' I remained seated. I knew exactly what he had planned in his sick perverted mind, and I wasn't in the mood to go with that plan. 'Why, I don't bite, we're just going to get some food' he smirked, licking his lips for a second. 'Sure you do, but I'll just stay here. I don't need anything.' I climbed onto Luke's lap, intertwining our hands. 'Just go man' Freddy said, patting Yosha once again.
'You really want to stay? It'll be fun' Yosha tried once more. His smile was innocent, but his eyes said the complete opposite. Like he was already undressing me in his thoughts, thinking about how he could bang me. 'Dude go get something yourself she said no' Noah Luke said. My stomach turned, while thinking about what happened this morning. He really scared the hell out of me. It's so disgusting, it felt as if he is penetrating me with his tongue.

I felt someone breathing in my neck, making my tiny hairs stand up straight. I looked at the person behind me, of course it was my baby Luke, So I looked at his face, immediately receiving a kiss from him. After a few seconds he pulled apart and smiled. And I already felt a lot better, physically ánd emotionally. Maybe Luke would save me this weekend?
