About three week's after that night things were pretty crazy between Blair and I. We were still in the argument of her revealing who killed Mack, but nevertheless she still didn't budge. It was a Friday afternoon and I had to leave for Cleveland Sunday morning.
"I'm still upset that I have to go by myself" I complained to Luke as I was brushing my wet hair "Yeah well I have to stay here for the trial, or did you forget that" He laughed. "Don't be a smart ass" I smacked him on the back of the head "Ouch" he said rubbing his head but still laughing.
That night in a while I got a decent amount of sleep. Despite Luke's constant every hour on the hour restroom breaks. The following morning I woke up to Luke in the kitchen.
"Well what do you know, it can cook" I smiled as I sat down on the kitchen counter "Very funny, I just thought I would make a special breakfast before we go our separate ways for a couple days" He said flipping a pancake. "I'll be back on wednesday" I smiled "In dog ears that eternity" he smiled back at me.
The majority of the day I spent procrastinating on packing my bags until Brittany came over to help. "Still can't believe Uncle James is dead" Brittany was on my bed sitting on one of her legs while the other dangled off the side. "I know but, he was old, he lived a full life" I folded up one of my shits and put it in my suitcase.
Brittany and I chatted some more as I packed my bags having Luke come in occasionally to come and talk to up. "Brittany there's something I need to tell you" I zipped up my bags and sat on the bed "Blair knows who killed Mack".
She sat there looking at me as if I was speaking pig latin, "yeah, so I heard the words come out of your mouth but i'm not sure I quite understand" she stuttered out. "Blair knows who killed Mack but refuses to confess because she said that this person will come after her if she exposes them" I re answered.
Her eye's were as wide as an owl, she was as still as a statue, and as quiet as a mime. " I think I should go" Brittany stood up and walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs, I followed. "Brittany can we just talk about this" I asked as she put on her sandles and grabbed her keys.
"Figgy I love you, you know that I know that but your sister is a selfish bitch" she was angry. "Brittany wait" I walked out to her car as she got in and pulled out of the driveway. "Don't you think I already told her that" I slapped my arms to my thigh's.
The following morning I got up early and got into the shower trying to wash away all the stress. After I got out and dried off I wrapped my wet hair in a towel and put on my clothes. I was wearing a pair of black leggings with a Kenny Loggins shirt on and a flannel tied on my waist.
I bring my suitcase down stairs while Luke was still asleep. I walked into the kitchen and put two pieces of bread in the toaster. As I grabbed the butter out of the fridge I see a picture of Luke and I on graduation day and I couldn't help but smile.
I sat on the counter with the piece of toast in one hand and scrolling thru my phone on the other. The sound of feet touching the hardwood floor made me aware that Luke was awake. He walked over to me and wrapped his arms on my waist while placing his head on my back. "We have to go in a bit" I said to him placing my hand on top of his.
"I know" he mumbled into my back, he kissed my shoulder and walked back into the room to get dressed. Minutes later he came out wearing a pair of jeans and a grey t-shirt. I hopped off the stool and walked over to get my suitcase and backpack.
I could feel Luke's eyes scan all over me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me close and tight into his chest. His heart was beating faster than normal, and his breath's were shorter. I pushed myself deeper into his chest and buried my face into his shoulder. He kissed my head, then down to my forehead, then my nose, then meeting me on my lips.
We pulled apart as he grabbed my suitcase and walked out the door. It was a thirty minute car ride to the airport and Luke didn't let go of my hand for one second. "I'm going to be okay" I said looking over at him "I know" he tightened his grip a bit more. He brought my hand up to him and placed a kiss to the back of my hand.
When we arrived at the airport Luke pulled over and went to the back to get my suitcase. I got out of the car and put my arms thru my backpack. He came around back and rolled my suitcase right in front of me. While taking one look at me he brought me into his arms just as before. I grazed my hand on his back re-assuring that I will be fine.
His head looked down on me as he leaned into a kiss. "I love you" he said pulling back "I love you too" a smile grew on my face. He gave me two more pecks on the lips before I grabbed my suitcase and rolling into the airport. I watched him stand next to his car watching me until I was inside and out of sight.
