"Do you really love him?"
The words make her jump. Looking at the boy sitting across from her, who stares off into the room as if his mind is somewhere else, she frowns. He was supposed to be angry, jealous. That was how this was supposed to go.
"Luke, I-"
"Its a yes or no, Leia," He says softly.
She frowns, watching him. After a moment of thought, she sighs, running a hand through her flowing chestnut locks.
"Yeah...yeah, I guess I do..."
He nods some, his expression saying he already knew the answer to that. Running a hand through his blonde-streaked brown mop, he speaks.
"Go then. Don't stay where you're unhappy."

"How much do I have to give you for you to keep this quiet, Champ?" His dad asks. He's cornered Luke in the kitchen, leaving the woman, who is not Luke's mom, that he had his tongue down the throat of waiting in the living room. Shoulders tensed, Luke glowers.
"You're bribing me?"
"Yeah, how much?" His dad asks again.
Luke just shakes his head. In one sentence, the man he's always looked up to has dropped lower than dirt in his opinion. All at once, he can't stand to be in the same room as his father.
"Keep your money," He mutters. "I won't tell. Just don't talk to me. Anymore. Ever."
And with that, he retreats upstairs, slamming his bedroom door.
Today sucked.
