Chapter 10: Say Goodbye (Hello) to the Pain of the Past

Hey lovelies! I just want to say how adorable it is and how much I love all of your guys comments towards certain parts as if you talk to Lil or Lu! It makes me smile seeing you all bond and grow with the lovely boys! 😊

Lilac's POV
Soon enough, it was 3 days later and although I adored every minute I spent with my nerdy giant of a boyfriend, it was time to head home and as I stared out my window, I realized something.

     Lucas is more terrified of losing me than I am of him!

And while I'm not complaining, it's weird to feel two-way attraction in a relationship for once, with me not being the only lovestruck one. Lucas is everything I saw in Matthew, except he actually is everything I saw in Matthew.

           It's weird to think that all those times Matthew told me to skip a few meals, I thought it was out of love for the safety of not becoming overweight.

           Or how I wasn't allowed to wear anything tight because I figured he didn't want them to be uncomfortable or have them leave marks.

            And how about the way I had to report to him my current situation every hour on the spot.

I bite my lip, looking over at LuLu to see him already looking over at me in concern. "What?" I say passive-aggressively and his eyes widen at the sudden sass.

"I'm sorry love, you looked upset that I just wanted to make sure you weren't about to cry or that you had hurt yourself." He smiles, and intertwines our hands before looking out at the scenery once more.

     So this is what love feels like? I guess I never was in love before then.

Sometimes I wish people could read my story and learn from it. Read the things that signify true love and know the signs of what aren't.

     5 hours later *spongebob voice (^~^)*

As Lucas's dad parks, dropping me off at the corner, and as I approach my house with suitcase in hand, I can't help but feel my heart drop as I see the man, chatting up a storm with my family, who stand oblivious to all he's done to me.

I take a big gulp, letting out a big breath before walking in and shutting the door behind me as quietly as possible, hoping I could just stealth to my room and avoid them.

     "Oh honey! Look who's here love! It's Matthew, your ex from when we lived back in Pennsylvania! He's in town for the week and I figured since you guys have Thanksgiving break, maybe you two could hang out and you can show him around town " my mother smiles widely, her green eyes sparkle and though ours are almost the same color, they don't match my terrified ones.

    "Oh, that sounds like it would be amazing. I would really, really appreciate it if we could walk around and go get ice cream like old times" he smiles widely to my family before staring me down with a smug, silent stare.

      Yeah, just like old times when you'd distract me with love before beating me until I couldn't breath.

      "Mom, you know I have plans with Lucas alread-" I start but get cut off with a very calm voice which bears the allusion that his words aren't meant to cut me like venom.

      "Who's Lucas? Is he a new friend you're close to here? Or maybe even more?" I hear him, almost growl out the last part, almost begging me to admit it so he'd have an excuse to hurt me, so it would be "justified".

     "Oh, they've been together for a couple weeks now! They're just the cutest couple-oh! That is behind you two of course!" My mom gushes, showing him pictures and I can see his jaw clench as he tenses up.
