Filling in the Pieces // Luke Brooks

Chapter 49 - It's You

        It's been five days since Luke has woken up and he is supposed to be coming back to the farm today. Of course he is supposed to be on bed rest for a while, but at least he gets to leave the hospital. He should arrive in the next half hour of so and I'm dreading that moment because I know the first thing he is going to want to do is talk. I have been texting him to see how he's doing, but every time he brings up our relationship I either change the subject or stop the conversation.

        I had finished all the chores, which took forever, due to the fact that I was the only one here to work. It's just after lunch now and I decided to take a break and relax by the pond to think. I was lost in my thoughts and too busy taking in the scenery when I heard a voice behind me.

        "Is this really what you want?" I shot my head around to see Luke standing there with a cast on the lower half of his leg and his hands buried in his pockets. His fractured arm and ribs heeled when he was asleep.

        "Luke you know I had to do it. Look at you, look at what I've done to you," I said as I got up and pointed at his leg.

        "You can't be serious right? We couldn't control what happened," he spoke, stepping closer to me.

        "Luke, it was Kyle who broke the breaks in the car, he's the reason we crashed. And I'm the reason he did it in the first place." He was silent, but I could see the anger on his face. "I can't drag you through my problems any more," I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. God I have cried way too much in these last few weeks. 

        "Kait, no relationship is easy. But if you're willing to make this work, I am too. I think that if I mean anything to you, we should fight through whatever comes our way. No one ever said that this would be a walk in the park. It's hard work, but I am willing to fight for you to change your mind," he raised his voice a little, getting frustrated.

        "Your world would be easier if I wasn't in it," I glanced up at him, meeting my eyes with his.

        "It wouldn't be my world without you in it," he replied.

        "I want to change my mind because I know I love you, but I also want to go through with this because I love you and you deserve better," I said as I tried to brush passed him, but he grabbed my arm.

        "Deserve better? I don't think you understand. It's you. It is fucking you. I cannot describe it any more then it is simply you. You are the only one that I will ever want. I belong with you. You are my home. I look at you, and somehow I can see 50 years from now on the front porch of some old house in the middle of nowhere and we're together. I need you. You are the only thing that matters. You are my good." He yelled to prove his point, but then calmed down a bit.

        This brought tears to my eyes. How could I be so stupid. He loves me, I love him. It's as simple as that. If we have gotten this far, than there's nothing stopping us.

        We stared at each other for a while, both taken aback by what he said. Feeling overwhelmed with emotions I leaned in and kissed him for the first time in three weeks. This kiss was different from the rest though, it was passionate and truly filled with love. When I pulled away I realized just how much I missed him.

        "I'm so sorry," I said as he wrapped me in a hug.

        "It's okay. Just promise me one thing."

        "Anything," I answered.

        "Never do that again," he said as he placed a kiss on the top of my head, with me still wrapped in his arms.

        "I promise," I giggled into his chest.

        "Good," he chuckled back. "Now how about we go into town to get some food?" He asked as he intertwined his fingers with mine.

        "No, you are supposed to be in bed, and that's exactly where you are going to be. I'll make you lunch," I said as we walked towards the barn.

        "Fine, but can you at least watch a movie with me or something?" He whined.

        "Yeah sure, now go rest I'll be out soon," I said giving him a kiss on the cheek and then walking towards the house. I walked into the house to find Beau and Jai literally waiting for my arrival.

        "Sooo?" They both cooed in unison.

        "Soo... What?"

        "Oh, don't play dumb with us. What happened?" Beau asked, getting impatient.

        "We made up," I said as I began to make sandwiches.

        "So that means you guys are back together...?" They both waited for my answer.

        "Yes," I smiled. God they are so nosey.

        "Yay," they both cheered.

        "Why are you guys so happy about this?" I asked, laughing at their little dance around the kitchen.

        "Because we know how you make Luke feel and we also know that he would not be able to stand another day without you," Beau stated which made me smile.

        "You guys want to come watch a movie with us?" I asked as I placed Luke's sandwich and drink on a tray.

        "Yeah sure, we have nothing better to do," Jai answered.

        "Well thanks, I feel so loved," I joked as they both laughed.

        I managed to successfully make it up to the loft without spilling anything with the help of the boys. Jai swung open the door so I could enter and I placed the tray beside Luke. He thanked me and we began to fight over which movie to watch. After a good 15 minutes we decided on the Lion King. Nothing beats a good cartoon. It's also both mine and Luke's favourite movie, next to Mean Girls.

        Some point in the movie I glanced over at Luke to see him chuckling at the stupidity of the hyenas. I took in his side profile and ended up getting lost in thought. I really am grateful to have Luke back. I don't know what I have done if I lost him? And thank god he talked some sense into me about changing my mind. He truly is the greatest guy I've met. Everything he said about seeing us together 50 years from now is exactly how I picture us as well. He is the one. I found my Prince Charming.
