Chapter 27

Alex's POV

I sat with Michael on his couch, his dad wasn't home. His arms were wrapped around my waist as we watched a random movie on tv.  He randomly kissed my cheek and the side of my neck, causing me to blush every time.

"Michael stop!" I whined, squirming in his grasp when he softly bit me just below my earlobe.

He tightened his grasp on my waist and pulled me into him. "I love you." he whispered into my ear.

"I love you too," I said, turning my head and connecting our lips. Michael was always romantic with me, and I couldn't get enough of it.

My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I shifted myself away from Michael, so I was sitting up and could get it out of my pocket.

I had one new message, from Luke.

From: Luke

I need your help.

My phone buzzed again.

From: Luke

Don't tell Michael, it's personal.

I wanted to tell Michael, to see what was up but I obeyed Luke's wishes. "Who texted you?" Michael asked, curiously.

"Uh, my mom." I lied. "I have to go, I'm sorry."

"It's okay," he said, getting up, and helping me up. He pulled me into a tight hug, wrapping his arms just above my waist. "I'll talk to you later."

I nodded, and went to the door to put my shoes on. "Bye!" I shouted and left Michael's house. Luke lived close by so I walked right over there.

I walked up to his doorstep and knocked on the door, waiting for him to answer it.

Moments later, Luke appeared, smiling when he saw that it was me. "I've never seen you so happy to see me." I commented with a laugh.

"Thank god you're here," he said, letting me into his house. "What'd you tell Michael?"

"That my mom wanted me and I had to go." I replied.

"Okay, good." he said, taking me into the living room and sitting on the couch. "Like I said, I need your help."

"And what do you need my help with that I couldn't tell Michael about?" I questioned, since that made it seem weird already.

"It's someone I need to go talk to." he explained. "I can't go alone."

"Who?"

"Payton's dad."

"What?!" I said, hoping I didn't hear him right.

"Her father showed up at her house, and I know she has a rough past with him. I just need to go tell him to stay away." he said.

"No way! Luke, that's crazy! Can you imagine what Payton would do if she found out about it."

"She won't find out." Luke assured me. "I can promise you that she's busy today. There's no way she'll find out."

I rolled my eyes, shaking my head at him. "No. I can't help you."

"Please, Alex." Luke begged. "I'm sorry to come to you, but I trust you. Payton's really hurting with her dad, and when she hurts I hurt."

I sat for a moment thinking, rolling my eyes again. "That was completely cliche, but cute." I admitted. "Fine, I'l help you."

"Thank you," he said, rushing to give me a quick squeeze as a hug. Jeez Luke.
