I woke up another bedroom, I was so confused for at least a minute but like always I remember what happened when I was drunk last night, Luke the bartender brought me home. Well to his apartment, I was grateful for that because I didn't exactly want to see my boyfriends face.

I heard Luke mutter something under his breath before shaking me, "violet?"

I only hummed in response, "c'mom violet you have to get up," I knew it was Luke because of his accent.

Go away Luke, I want to sleep," I growled before nudging my head into the crook of his neck.

"Um, do you remember what happened?" He asked, sounding a bit nervous.

"Yes and I'm very happy and grateful for you, I was so stupid to go alone but I was just so- "

"It's okay Violet," Luke smiled in a way that it basically lit up the whole world.

I laid my head back on his chest but before I could try and sleep a bit longer Luke shook me again.

"Violet, please get up, your boyfriend wants you home," I immediately froze, what was he going to do or say to me, what was I going to say to him.

"Violet?" I didn't reply to Luke, I was scared, Robin would sometimes hit me if I went out without his permission, but he cheated on me and told me it was because I was getting fat lately, so I needed to forget, but everytime I tried I just got dragged back into reality.

"Violet?"
Luke's voice kept repeating in the back, just repeating my name, but I couldn't concentrate, Robin almost killed me once, It was on our 2 year anniversary, I forgot about it due to college stress but he just kept punching me saying he deserves a gift for sticking with me, I couldn't breathe, luckily Ashton was coming for dinner so when Robin was done and went out Ashton came, I was so happy he did.

Just the memory made my immediately cry into Lukes shoulder, "oh my god, um Violet, wow are you okay? Did I say something?" He stopped asking when I shook my head, "it's alright, it's alright to cry," Luke stared patting my back and occasionally my hair too.

After a good 5 minutes or so I came down from crying and started sniffling, "sorry Luke, I didn't want to break down in front of you again."

"It's really okay," he smiled again and that made me smile.

"Now, let's get you ready to go home," Luke smiled again but my smile faded into a frown.

I looked down and noticed that I wasn't swearing my dress from last night, I was wearing a greenday shirt with grey sweatpants, both of which were too big for me.

"Are- are these yours ?"

Luke blushed a bit, "um yes, your dress is in the washer, it's probably done by now."

"Thank you," I leaned forward to kiss his cheek.

Luke seemed to be a shy type of person, I didn't mind it but it was so awkward after that.
