Previously:

Sitting down I sat looking out over the water and for the first time in what felt like forever. I finally felt calm like the world wasn't resting on my shoulders.

She is the only person who has ever made me feel this calm. Only person who can build me up or tear me apart with one single one or phrase but I don't think she knows that. I guess that's my fault since I have never told her. Pulling me from my thoughts Jenna leaned back on her hands her hand resting on top of mine. It took her a second to realize what she had done but we she did she jerked away like she had put her hand on a stove or something.

"I'm sorry I didn't realize I had.." she started

Before she could finish my hand was on her cheek and my lips were firmly pressed against hers. She fought it for a second but she finally rested her hand on my neck and gave in to the kiss. Pulling away my face turned blood red.

"I uh...I'm..I'm sorry. Uhm..we should probably go I need to get you back home anyways" I said standing up turning around beginning to walk towards my car

"Lukas calm down wait" She said grabbing my hand turning me around to face her

Tears were streaming down my face but at this point I didn't care. I just wanted to look at her to see the way her eyes sparkled and the way the moonlight shined against her beautiful face. Her thumb gently brushed against my cheek as she wiped away my tears.

"Why are you crying Lukas" She asked looking at me the worry clear on her face

"Jenna you're like a drug to me and as many times as I try to leave I just...I can't help but miss you. 5 seconds away from you and I'm wondering what you're doing or thinking about. If you're smiling or who's talking to you. I can't help the sting of jealousy that touches the pit of my stomach when I think of someone else kissing or touching you and that's all I've thought about here lately. That's why I have to move because I can't sit and watch that" I said tears falling down my face faster

"But Lani Lukas..you can't keep doing this to us" she whispered

"I know and that's why I have to go as well. When I'm around you I can't help but want to hold you. I can't help but want to wrap my arms around you and kiss your cheek or your forehead or your lips. I have never been a affectionate person but when I'm with you it's like my heart is literally on the outside of my chest" I whispered turning away from her

"Go on.." She said looking at me

"Jenna I meant it when I said I loved you, I really did and I know I've hurt you time and time again but I'm going to get better. Whether you're here or you have moved on I am going to become a better person for you or for myself. I have to. I don't like the person I've became" I sighed looking at the ground

"Lukas...I love you but you hurt me and I told you the last time was your last chance" she sighed looking up at me

"I know Jenna I know" I growled running my fingers through my hair

"Can you take me home now? I really just wanna be alone right now" she sighed walking towards my car

"Jenna..stay with me tonight?" I half begged half asked

"Why Lukas" she asked looking at me confused

"Because I sleep better when I'm next to you" I replied

"I don't touch other girl's property. I've told you this Lukas" she glared after the word property

"Forget about everything tonight. Just focus on me. Please just one night" I begged

"One night" she agreed

Taking off my jacket I wrapped it around her shoulders and led her to my car lighting a cigarette. Once we got to my house I turned off my ignition and lights and looked over at her. She was peacefully asleep against the window. Careful not to wake her I opened her door and carried her in the house and up the stairs into the guest bedroom and placed her under the covers and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight beautiful sweet dreams" i whispered running my thumb gently across her cheek

She leaned into my hand groaning and falling back to sleep. God she'll be the death of me.
