Déjà Vu {A Luke Castellan Story} [Three]

•Ten•

Luke and I sit on the couch as Nico goes into the kitchen with Will. "You alright?" He looks up at me, "Yeah. It's nothing." I roll my eyes, "It's obviously something." He shrugs, "I'll tell you later, okay?" I smile a bit and tell him okay in response. Will walks out with Nico and they sit across from us. Will seemed to avoid Luke in any way shape or form. I wasn't sure why and I didn't feel like making the situation any worst than it already was. "So now Nico's brought you here to look or a place?" I nod as the story wraps up once again. I truly wonder how many more times I'd need to explain. Nico and Luke spoke on their own, I'm sure Nico saw uncomfortable he was. "Do you mind if I can have water?" Will nods and stands up from his seat, I get up and follow him. "What's up?" Will raises his eyebrow, "What do you mean?" I roll my eyes and keep my voice down so the other two can't hear us, "With Luke. You've been avoiding all contact since we got here." He sighs and his eyes travel down to the ground as he pulls a cup out of the cupboard, "I just don't want to see history repeated."

I was about to to question him before Nico showed up, "Hey, you two should go searching now." I nod, "Okay. Thanks." I force a smile and hug Nico goodbye before grabbing Luke and leaving. "Are you alright?" I look over to Luke and smile, "It's great, I'm just too excited to find a new place." Luke smiles back at me as we travel down the roads of New Rome. A small apartment complex catches my eyes, "Let's go check it out there!" I grab Luke's hand and drag him to the office of the building. I look around on the inside, it was a small and cute building. The walls were nice, clean, and completely white. I walked up to one of the desk still holding onto Luke. "Hi." The front lady smiled at me and Luke, "How can I help you?" I smile back and explain to her how we were new here and were wondering about finding a nice apartment to stay in. She points to the chairs in front of her and tells us to sit. She takes out a small binder and flips through some different lay outs. She comes across one two bedroom.

"Do you have pictures of this one" She looks down at the layout and pulls out some laminated pictures. I look at them closely and notice how it's the same from my visions I lean over to Luke's seat and show him the pictures. "It looks perfect." I look at Luke in the eyes and he seemed so excited. She tells us the price and my excitement grows. "Luke, we can afford this!" He looks just as excited as I am, we just found the apartment. We both loved it so much. Luke looks to the front desk woman, "Can we tour it?" She nods and asks for our ID's to hold onto for the time being. We gladly hand them over and fellow the office lady to the apartment. She opens a door and let's us into an apartment on the first floor. At first glance from the doorway, all you saw was the empty space which would be the living room. You look to the right as soon as you walk in and spot a counter top separating the livening room and kitchen. Luke wonders off to the left to the two bedrooms and I look in the kitchen a bit.

"The appliances you see are you included." I smile and looks to the fridge, stove, and other small kitchen necessities. Luke comes back and smiles widely at me, "(Y/N), it's great." I laugh a bit and agree with him. The apartment worker smiles at us and invites us back to the front office so we can fill out the paperwork. When we head back we get our ID's back and she has us fill out a few questions, including who the owners would be, who's on the lease so they can gain access from the front desk. I scribble down Logan's actual name and his relation to me. "And of course if at anytime, you can change who's on the lease." I nod to her and thank her. We rush to finish up the paper work, we were just to eager to call that place home. She asks for the money down and I hand her the amount. She gladly takes it and hands over a small envelope with the apartment number, '1146.' I pick up the keys from the desk and she informs me we can start moving in as soon as we want. I thank her and we head back out of the office and into the calm sidewalks of New Rome.

"I can't believe it was that easy!" I laugh a bit at Luke's childishness excitement. "I'm just glad we can move in. It's rare to move in the same day." We walk down the road, heading back to Nico's apartment. "Now we don't have to stay at Nico's." I look over to Luke who seemed relieved. "We still have too Luke, we don't have furniture." His facial expression dropped immediately which made me frown a bit. "Are you going to be okay with that?" He shrugs and looks away from me, "Yeah, I just feel like they don't like me." I stop Luke and pull him towards the side, "Luke, I know Nico likes you. He wouldn't speak to you in general if he didn't. Will? Well, he's just probably shocked still. It'll be fine. It's just a night or two." He gives me a faint smile. We walk back in silence, I knew Luke didn't want to stay there but we really had no other choice.
