Don't Let Me Go

Home

I felt terrible after reading that awful text... I can't believe Harry did all that over me. It's ridiculous. Why me? Why does he think violence is the answer? I'm done with it. I'm glad he's arrested. He needs to have a little time there to think about everything. I'm just so tired of everything. I want to sleep forever but I know I can't. So I'll sleep for now...

I start to wake up and hear Liz talking to Luke upstairs. I know it's bad, but I started listening to them.

"Are you serious mom?!" Luke said excitedly.

"Of course. She's always welcome here. I just want her to be happy and safe." Liz says to him.

"Thank you so much mom. I love you." Luke says back to her.

"I love you too honey. I'm going to the store, I'll be back later." She says.

I hear her walking downstairs, and I get up to greet her.

"Morning sweetie! Sleep well?" She asked nicely.

"Yeah. Where you going?" I ask.

"The store, I'll be back soon as I can. By the way, Luke and I need to talk to you about something later at lunch." She says while smiling.

"Should I be scared?" I ask.

"No! You'll be fine hun. I'll be back later. Bye!" She says while walking out the door.

I smile and sit on the couch. I grab the remote to flip through channels because I have nothing else to do really. I find Spongebob is on and I just had to watch it. I'm such a 7 year old I swear.

After a little while, I hear Luke come downstairs. I act like I didn't hear him come down and continue watching my cartoons. I feel him kiss my head and put his arms around me.

"Morning babe." I say as I get up.

"You seem better than yesterday." Luke giggles.

"Yeah... Sorry about that. I don't know what got into me. I was truly insane." I say apologetically.

"It's fine. I'm just glad you're back to normal." He says as he puts his arms around my waist.

"Well not completely. I still have new hair, a nose ring, and a tattoo." I say.

"Wait... Did you say tattoo?" He asks sounding shocked.

Shit I didn't tell him about that.

"Uh... Yeah... It's on the back of my shoulder..." I say while looking down.

"Let me see." He said eagerly.

"Well.. I kinda need to take off my shirt for that so..." I say awkwardly.

"Not like I haven't seen any of it before." He says while smirking.

I turn around and lift up my shirt so he can see my rose tattoo.

"Oh my God..." He whispers.

"Do you not like it?" I say quickly as I put my shirt back on.

"Hell no. I think it's sexy babe." He says as he pulls me closer.

"Luke your mom can walk in any minute." I whisper as I push him off of me.

"Actually, I don't think she'll be home for a while." He says while smirking again.

I smile and walk away.

"Babe come back!" He says as he runs to me.

"Nope!" I yell back while I run upstairs. I go to the bathroom and lock the door.

"You can't hide in there forever Ami!" Luke yells through the door.

"I can hide for a while until I need food!" I yell back at him.

"No food until you kiss me." Luke says.

"I don't need food that bad." I tease him. He laughs then walks away. I think of things to do then remember I need to take a shower, so I take out the last towel out of the drawer, take off my clothes and step in. After a few minutes I hear the door open. I look through the curtains and see Luke standing with a key.

"GET THE HELL OUT I NEED A SHOWER!" I yell at him.

"I'm not stopping you." He laughs.

"Get out!" I yell and splash water at him.

"You do not just do that." He says sounding surprised.

"Oh I did. And I'll do it again. See!" I say as I splash more water on him.

He walks over and grabs my towel then runs off with it.

"DUDE THAT'S THE LAST TOWEL!" I yell at him.

"SUCKS!" He yells back.

I turn off the shower and step out completely naked and dripping wet. I cover up with my clothes and look for Luke.

I walk into his room and there he is. Laying on his bed with my towel.

"Give me the towel and nobody gets hurt." I say while walking slowly to him.

"Kiss me then you get the towel." He says while sitting up.

I lean over and peck him on the lips.

"That wasn't too hard was it?" He asks while throwing my towel at me.

"No but I need clothes now because these are all wet." I say as I put my towel on.

He gets up and looks for a shirt for me to wear and throws it at me.

"Thanks I'll be back."

Few minutes later I'm all dry and have clothes on.

"I'm back!" I hear Liz yell from downstairs.

I run down to say hi, and I see Luke's down there with her. They have a few big bags full of stuff...

"Ami, we need to talk to you." Liz says sounding very happy.

"Oh boy.." I say as I sit down in a chair.

"Don't worry it's good news." Luke says while sitting next to me.

"Well, Ami. After what we talked about last night, it seems like you need somewhere to stay. And it just so happens that we have a empty room upstairs. I want you to stay here as long as you like. I want you to feel safe. I want you to still get an education as long as you're in this house, so you'll have a choice of going to school, or staying here and get homeschooled. There's internet schools we can get you hooked up with." Liz explains to me.

I get so happy I start tearing up.

"This means so much to me Liz thank you so much!" I yell and hug her.

"I know your old clothes are at your real house, but the police are still there. I don't want you to go back there, so I'm giving you money to go look for some decent clothes. I put $500 on this Visa card." She says while handing me the card.

"Liz, I can't accept this much money." I say as I give her the card back.

"Too bad, you're taking it and buying clothes for yourself. And in these bags are some stuff I bought for your new room. Your bed will be delivered probably later today. I bought you some blankets, pillows, just the stuff you need." She says very cheerfully.

"I can't thank you enough. This means so much to me." I say as I hug her tightly.

"Welcome home Ami." Liz says cheerfully.
