The Space Between Us

Everything (15)

I've tried everything. I've tried everything to forget about Luke. I haven't been to school in a week. Peyton and Venus have been bringing my work to me. I just sit and eat Nutella and Cookies and Cream ice cream while watching the Notebook.

"I'm so sick of this, your going to get your butt up!" Peyton yells taking the covers off of my toasty body. 

I lay down and hold in to my bed for dear life. "VENUS BRING PLAN B!" I watch in horror as the guys come in and grab me one by one. One has my arm one has my leg and it's just a mess. 

"Fine, fine I'll get up!" They drop me to the floor with a thud. I dust myself off and tell them to head downstairs, that I'll be right down. They are halfway in the hall when I slam the door and lock it. I look at the door. They are losing it. I can't take it. I can't do this so I turn on my radio and I play Blue ain't your color by: Keith Urban. I'm dancing and crying. The screams of my friends die down. I lay on my bed and start to read but I guess I end up falling asleep. When I awaken my stomach growls. I turn down my radio off and unlock the door. Venus, Peyton, and the boys are sitting there. I wave at them and then I run downstairs to the fridge... I grab some left over Chinese and when I turn back I see that they have cornered me. "Let me eat first." I say.

They nod their heads and I sit down at the table. 

"Isabella this is going on way to long. I know you love him, but there's some things he needs to figure out."

"He figured them all out the other night!" I yell.

I throw my food at them and then I go out the back door...I get in my car and drive. I keep driving and I don't stop. I drive for hours and hours until I'm far away. My phone is buzzing uncontrollably so I just turn it off and keep driving. I drive until I see the sun set. I drive a little bit in the dark and then I pull over and cry. Everything comes rushing out. I don't stop crying until I fall asleep...

I wake up and I see that it's 12:00, I've slept a whole day. Crap! I turn on my phone and I see tons of text messages. The first one I see is Luke. He don't care so I ignore him and text Peyton and tell her I'm ok. I turn off my phone again and turn on the radio and sit. I sit, the radio playing softly for a little while until I pull out and I drive back. It takes hours to get back but I finally get home. When I arrive home I try to sneak in, but that didn't really work out really well. As soon as I get inside I get tackled to the ground by everyone. "Can't breathe..." I choke. They get off of me and Peyton helps me up. When I look up I see Luke. "I'm tired I'm going to bed." I run up the stairs and I hit my bed. Bullet lays beside me and whimpers. It seems lately all I've been doing is sleeping. I look at the balcony and that's when I see HIM. I start screaming because there he is watching me. Jake stands right there on my balcony...watching me.

Everyine starts running in Peyton is looking around frantically, I'm crying, and Luke has jumped on the bed checking me over. "Luke get your hands off of me!" I push him away. "Luke I'm telling you right now, you need to go!"

"Do you know how worried I was, muffin?" He ask.

"Were you really? Or is this another one of your Bull-shrimp lies?" (a/n: I brought it back fam) he looks at me not saying a word and then looks down. He waves slightly and then tells Joe and Noah to follow him. I hear the whispers but I really don't care. They come back in with a red face and looks that would scare the cutest kitten. I watch Luke leave and I turn around and roll over. "I think I'm going to just sleep." I say and dig myself under the covers. Everyone silently leaves, after they leave I look up and I feel that Oliver has jumped on my bed. He comes up to my face and paws it. I grab him and hold him. What am I going to do?

I wake up and I feel warm...to warm. I roll over and see that Luke has his arms around me. I punch him right in the nose. "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN CUDDLE WITH ME?" I yell. He wakes up with a fright. He looks at me for a while and then he realizes his mistake. "You usually don't wake up." He says.  I glare at him. I then realize what he just said. "You've done this before?" I whisper. He looks at me and nods his head. "When we first started dating and now." I look at him and scoff. I jump up but instead I fall down and end up face first on a pair of pec's. I get up and try not to look but dang they look amazing. I avert my gaze and I get up and walk downstairs .

"I'm going to tell you guys this once and only once. You do not let LUCAS KING IN THIS HOUSE. Do you guys understand me?" I say in a deathly voice. They nod their heads and look down. I look around and then I grab my keys and leave without even saying goodbye. I jump in my car and head to the only place I can think of...home.
