(A/N sorry it took so long to write this chapter, i was constantly trying to find something write but ive been having a writers block, and ive been having a hard time so hooe you enjoy this new chapter.)woke up the next morning with a pounding in my head, I didn't know what it was from. I went to stand up and collapsed. I heard Luke screaming my name, I blacked out before he reached me.
When I came to I was laying in my bed. Luke rushed to my side asking if I was ok. I nodded, my head still pounding. I must have had another anxiety attack. I didn't know what It was from but I just wanted to sleep. I rolled over and Luke placed his hand on my arm, "You never told me, that this happened." I didn't know they happened, I have never woken up and just blacked out before. I ignored him and fell asleep.
We had school today and I didn't want to deal with people. As I walked through the hallway, Luke pulled me aside, "Why didn't you tell me, you had anxiety." He looked at me hurt. "I didn't think it was that important." "Not important! I was scared to death yesterday, I didn't know what was going on." He actually cared about me? Of course he did, but why? "I'm sorry, can we talk about this at home, I need to get to class." He hugged me and walked away. Ashley walked up to me with a smug look. She stopped directly in front of me and said, "He doesn't actually care, you know? He's just playing for sex or whatever else. I mean, who would care about you?" She walked away but not before hitting her shoulder on mine, making me stumble back a bit. I knew Ashley's words probably weren't true but they still got to me, especially that last sentence. I shrugged it off and went to class.
I was sitting on my bed when Luke walked in. He sat down in front of me, he had a neutral expression, but I knew exactly what he wanted to talk about. "Tell me what's wrong, I want to help." I wanted to tell him everything, I wanted to tell him my depression had gotten worse along with my anxiety, but I can't tell him that. What if he doesn't want to help me? What if he kicks me out, what do I tell him? I stared at him at a loss for words, I just broke down in tears. I collapsed on him, he stroked my hair and told me it was going to be ok. "I don't know what's wrong with me, I... I just don't know, I'm sorry." He had his arms wrapped around me, he didn't say a word, which was soothing, and before I knew it I was asleep in his arms. I woke up in total darkness, I went to move but soon realized arms wrapped around me. Luke was still here, he didn't leave, why? God why am I so confused, why can't I have a nice friendship, why? I had to get up but he wouldn't budge. I went to move his arm, when he said "Trying to run away?" I quickly glanced over at him, my eyes had adjusted to the dark, and I saw a grin take over his face. "No I have to go to the bathroom." He let me go and walked to the bathroom. When I got back he was already asleep, I laid down next to him, not long after he wrapped his arms around me. I liked this feeling, I wish we never had to leave this position, but soon after I fell asleep again.
When I woke up Luke was gone, I didn't think much of it till I got downstairs. Ashley was here talking to Luke's mom. I was instantly filled with rage. I walked down the stairs, closely watching Ashley. Luke's mom turned around with a disappointed look on her face, she looked me up and down and turned back to Ashley. "Thank you dear." Ashley nodded her head and walked away grinning.
I watched Ms.Namester walk into the kitchen, what was Ashley doing here? I couldn't help but wonder, I needed to know, but my anxiety wouldn't let me ask. "Ashley said you are just using my son for money." That hit me hard, I can't believe Ashley would say something like that. "Ma'am I assure that is not true." I felt like the world was resting on my shoulders, and I couldn't do anything but stare her straight in the eyes. "How do I know I can trust you?" She stared me down with a hateful look. I stood there in shock, when Luke walked downstairs I let out a breath of relief. "What's going on?" Luke looked at me scared. "Ashley told your mom I'm just using you for money." He looked at me with wide eyes. "Do you really belive her, Ashley has always told lies mom, I am telling you this is not true!" His face was filled with rage, and he balled his hands into fists. "I just find it funny that you showed up as soon as you got kicked out, you wouldn't be working for me if it wasn't for Luke, I think Ashley has a point, you are just using us for money." I stared at her in disbelief "Luke asked me to stay, I'm not the one who chose to stay here, I was doing my best to get my own money." She looked at me as if she didn't believe I had just talked to her that way. "I promise you ma'am I am not using you or your son for money."
