Chapter 5

Luke's POV

"Stop the car." I her Scarlett say and Callum pulled over to the side of the road. "I'll just get out here. Thank you for everything. You guys are amazing and I'm so glad I got to meet you." Scarlett says. I can't help but sneak a quick glance in her direction. She was looking at me. I cast my eyes downward breaking eye contact. Once she gets out and slams the door i look up to see her waving to us. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Callum asks and i stare at him trying to figure out what he means, I give up and decide to ask him. "What are you talking about?" I ask and everyone rolls their eyes. Callum pulls over and turns in his seat. "Why are you ignoring Scarlett? It's obvious that you hurt her." He says and i shake my head, my anger growing slightly. "She got the damn doctors number!" I say exasperated while grabbing a fistful of hair. "So what? That doesn't mean she's going to call him. Not unless you give her a reason too." Michael says being all wise and shit. "Why do you guys have to be so god damn right all the time?" I ask and they all shrug in sync. I open the car door and pull my body out of the comfy leather. "Thanks so much." I say and they salute at me. I slam the door closed and watched as the car drove further and further away. I turned on my heel and walked back towards the cemetery. I know she is there, i saw her walk through the gates before the car drove away. She has to be there. I walk slowly so i can think about what i want to say to her. So far everything i had i immediately dismissed as not good enough or to cheesy. Nothing i ever did would be good enough for her, she deserves so much. I wish i was in her league. I walked through the big metal gates and tried to find her. It wasn't very hard because we were the only people there. She was sitting under a cherry blossom tree. He crutches lay beside her as she stared straight ahead. She was staring at a headstone. As I got closer I noticed she was crying. "Scarlett?" I ask and she gasp when she see's it's me. I stare at her and she hangs her head, wiping away her tears. "I'm sorry I made you cry." I say, as soon as the words come out I regret them. It's obvious that she wasn't crying about me. "Why the hell would I cry because of you. Have you ever thought it was bigger than you?" She exclaims shaking her head. I have to admit, I'm slightly caught off guard by her sudden outburst. "I'm sorry." I say and she sighs shaking her head again. I walk over and sit next to her. She doesn't even notice, she's to busy staring at the headstone. I look at it and read it over in my head. Who is Layla Bauer? How did she know Scarlett? Were they close? How did she die? All these thoughts were buzzing around in my head. I couldn't ask a single one if them, they were to personal. I only met her today, I can't get her to open up that quickly. I have to wen her trust, then she will tell me. "Why are you crying Scarlett?" I ask breaking her from her thoughts. She just lifts up her hand and points at the headstone. Of coarse. Why the hell am I so stupid? I pull her into my chest as her body shakes with sobs. We sat there for a while. Under a cherry blossom tree with her face buried in my chest. "You don't have to talk if you don't want to." I say and she nods. I just wanted her to know that she doesn't have to rush into telling me anything. Whenever she feels like the time is right I believe she will tell me. Until then I just need to be there for her. Her breathing ravens out as she falls asleep on my chest, again. I chuckle slightly as I notice how this is the second time today that she has fallen asleep on me. It's so cute how she snuggles into you unconsciously. She snores softly as I pick her and her crutches up. I end up carrying her bridal style with her crutches sprawled out across her body. She looked so beautiful. I reach into my back pocket and pull out my phone. I dial Callum's number and wait for him to answer. "Luke! How did it go?" He asks cheerfully on the other side of the line. "Good, can you come pick us up at the cemetery?" I ask and he groans but agrees anyway. "See ya soon." He grumbles into the phone. Someone's grumpy. I wait ten minuets before Callum pulls up to the curb. I pull the door open and climb in. Scarlett is still peacefully asleep in my arms. The drive home seemed to fly by. All I did was stare at the beautiful girl in my arms as Callum sang along every song that played. I would normally join him, but I was too distracted by her beauty. How is it possible not to be caught by her beauty? The car comes to a stop and the music stops, silencing Callum. "We're here." He says looking over his shoulder at me. I nods and open the door. I don't bother closing it because I knew Callum would get it for me. I opened the front door and the boys bombarded me with questions. Once they notice Scarlett asleep in my arms thedy stop talking and smile. I roll my eyes and carry her to my room. I gently lay her down in the bed, pulling the covers over her. She groaned sightly and rolled onto her side so she was facing me. I chuckle quietly and brush a few strands of hair out of her face. She smiles and snuggles into the pillow. I turn to leave. "Luke?" I hear Scarlett say quietly and i turn to look at her. Her eyes were still closed but she was sitting up slightly. "Yeah?" I ask and she smiles. "Stay with me." She mutters. My eyes widen in shock and i feel a ghost of a smile fell over my lips. I pulled of my shirt and climbed into bed with her. It all felt so right. Laying under the covers with Scarlett's face buried in my chest. I felt safe and warm, like i was home.
