Too good to be true

Chapter 18

Zoëy's P.O.V

I stared at Luke untill I felt myself blush. 'I'm so sorry Luke, I only wanted to feel safe' I whispered. He chuckled a little and looked up at me aswell. 'Did you feel save?' He whispered back. I couldn't help but smile. 'Yes, I actually did' He smiled back at me and opened up his arms again. 'Its okay Zoëy, I don't mind. At all' I giggled and layed back down inbetween his legs, my head snuggled up in the crock of his neck. I whispered a soft 'Thank you' before I drifted of to sleep.

Luke's P.O.V

A couple of moments later, I felt her drifting off and the silence between the two of us was soon replaced with soft snores, tickeling my skin with her tiny little breaths. I couldn't help but smile at the position we were in. I tried really hard to put my focus back on the movie, but each time a person screamed, Zoëy burried her head more in my neck, hugging my tighter. I softly stroked her back with my hand untill she calmed down a bit. When the movie was over, everyone was already asleep, exept for James. He stood up and turned the movie off, but when he was about to walk back towards his place, he noticed us. He gave me a thumbs up while he mouthed a 'Great job' I chuckled and gave a tumbs up back. I felt my eyelids become heavy and closed my eyes. Soon, I drifted of to sleep aswell.

'GET AWAY FROM ME! NO! HELP ME!' I woke up and looked at my phone, checking the time. 3:27, great. I yawned and turned around again, facing Zoëy. I closed my eyes, but soon enough, I heard it again. 'LET ME GO! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME' I sat up straight and turned towards Zoëy, lightly shaking her. When she opened her eyes, she imidiatly sat up straight and started to cry. I sat next to her, trying to calm her down. 'Calm down Zoëy, its over now' She hugged me tight and sobbed in my shoulder with heavy breaths, making it hard to understand what she said. 'It w.. was so.. s.. scary Luke..' I broke away from her and placed my hands on her face, whiping away the tears with my tumb. She smiled lightly at my actions, making me smile aswell. We both layed down again, facing eachother. I leaned my head on my elbow and looked at her, begging her to tell me. 'Do you want to talk about it?' she sighed and brought the blankets to us, covering her body. Only her head was released, I guess she's gonna talk. 'Ever since I remember, I've got a nightmare. And every once in a while I dream about it again, and it just looks so real.. I can't really describe it' She made eye contact with me to see if I was listening. 'And the scariest part is, all the people I care about are in it aswell' 'Thats awful Zoëy, I'm so sorry' I didn't really know what to say right now. I wanted her to feel save again. So I grabbed her hand, interwining our fingers with eachother. She smiled at my actions, and even while it was dark, I could tell she was blushing. We didn't cuddle, kissed, our any sexual things. We just held hands, smiling at eachother. Feeling save. Happy. 'Thank you for caring Luke' she whispered. I smiled widly back at her, knowing she saw how happy she made me feel. 'Anything for you' And after that, we drifted off to sleep again, still holding on to eachother.

*Next morning*

Beau's P.O.V

I woke up inbetween Skip and Jai. Ugh.. Nice one Beau. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, feeling a major headdache coming up. It hurted bad, but I didn't regret anything from last night. We all had the time of our lives and I really needed that. I standed up and made my way towards the kitchen, trying not to wake up everybody. James was in a deep sleep, while Daniel and Jai cuddled with eachother. Gross. Celine was still asleep, she actually looked pretty cute. I walked further and stood still in disbelief. Luke and Zoëy were sleeping, holding hands with eachother. Luke had even a smile on his face while he stroked the palm of her hand with his tumb. I angryly made my way in the kitchen and washed my face with cold water. I kicked the trashcan to release my anger. Whats wrong with me? He is my little brother for fucks sake, why can't I be happy for him? That should be me. And what about Zoëy? Every girl would try to hit on me. My whole life, I was the one who brought all the girls. Not Luke, or Jai. Why doesn't she tried it? She's too good for you. She's the dream of every guy. Her middle long, blond waivy hair falling perfectly on her chest, while she smiled at you with those pink, kissable lips, and her ocean blue eyes. She looked like a model, without even trying. I had to face the truth. How hard I would deny it, and how deeply I knew she would end up with Luke somehow, I couldn't lie to myself. Luke would kill me if he knew, what I felt for Zoëy..
