Disconnected

Try Hard

I can't handle this. I need to call Luke.

"Hey babe. What's wrong?" Luke always knows something's wrong when I call him because I usually text him.

"I just... see my... my mom... she, you know... f- found out..." I say in between cries.

"Wait, WHAT?!"

"Luke... she also told me..."

"What did she tell you babe?"

"She... she told me that... that I couldn't see you... anymore. But she put it in the words "Never.""

"No! This cannot be happening." The same thing I'm thinking.

"Luke it's okay. We'll find our way through this."

"Were you crying?"

"I'm crying right now, yea." I say.

"I'm coming over..." he says.

"Luke..."

"No Rach! I'm coming. Your mother can't ruin our... friendship."

I breathe. "Okay."

...

I hear knocking on the door.

I rush downstairs. "Hey Lu-" he cuts me off with a long kiss. "Rach, if your mother ever puts cameras, security, or even automatic guns to aim at me, I would be there." Luke says. "What're you trying to say Luke?" I ask. "What I'm saying is that we're... f- friends and I don't ever want to stay away from our ever long lasting... friendship." He says. "Luke, you're so sweet." I say hugging him and he hugs me back. Luke gives the best hugs ever.

We sit down and discuss how we're going to ever see each other everyday, even on my moms' off work days.

*3:56*

"Oh my god Luke! It's 3:56!" I say stopping our long kiss. Why do we even kiss as friends? I don't even know. "Should I go?" He asks. "Yeah. My moms' lunch breaks are at 4:00 and she stops by here." I say. It's 3:58 now. "Luke, it was nice for you to stop by and calm me down a bit. You're a great b... you're a great... friend." I stutter. He leaves and drives away.

I run upstairs and I dive into my blankets. I can hear my moms' keys in the door and the door opening. "Rach! I'm home!" She yells. I don't answer. {Plan A}Luke told me to act like I took a whole bunch of pills and then she'll let me finally see Luke. "Rach?!" She yells. I still don't answer. "Rach?" I hear her coming upstairs. My door opens. I'm a good actor by the way. "Rach!" She gasps then checks on me. "Rach wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" She says shaking me. I turn over. "What the hell do you want?" I murmur into my pillow. "Rachel! Don't scare me like that!" She says. "Scare you like what? You made me do it." I say turning back over. "Fine! I'll unground you then." She says. "No. I can stay grounded, I just want Luke back." I say. "I told you no." She says. "Fine I'll take some more pills until I don't see your face anymore! You make my life a living hell!" I say opening my hand full of pills. "Stop Rach! Give me those pills now!" I hand her the pills. "You're never going to see Luke! End of discussion!" She says and walks out. "I got you some food by the way!" She yells from downstairs and I hear the door close.

I cry once again.

The plan

Failed.
