| Luke's pov |

A week later:

What did they tell her? Why hasn't she come back yet? It's been too long and I've only been getting worse. I haven't seen her once since I asked Ashton to take her. It could've been any of them. But when I think of someone keeping her away from me I think of Michael and Calum. The thought only infuriates me and I clench my fists. I walk down the hallway of the school looking for her but everyone crowds the hall. I can't handle one more second. I need her.

The late bell rings but I don't bother to go to class. I head to her locker and finally I see her. I walk faster then I'm standing behind her. She turns around and backs up a bit.

"Luke," she says softly.

Her chest rises and falls at a quick pace and I see her hands shaking.

"Why didn't you come back?" I ask.

I see the fear in her eyes and I wonder how terrible I look. She doesn't reply and I feel a pang in my heart. I softly caress her face and she shivers.

"I missed you," I say.

Noreen looks up at me and takes my hand. We stare into each other eyes and she makes me calm. How could she be the reason for my own destruction but also the reason why I haven't completely destroyed myself? Those grey eyes let me know that there's at least one person here for me. That's why it hurt me so much that she didn't come back, because I felt at least she could help me, and having her just leave felt like I've stabbed in the back.

"You know that I need you, right?" I say to her.

She nods slowly and I step closer.

"I'm sorry, I know you need me. I shouldn't have left for that long," she says.

Noreen slips her hand into my other one and we intertwine fingers. She moves closer until I can feel her breath on my lips. Silence surrounds us and she caresses my face. She brings me closer making our lips press together and I slowly close my eyes. She runs her hand up my neck and through my hair and I place my hands on her waist. Her lips are soft and sweet. I always wanted to kiss her, and now everything I wished on that night of the carnival came to be true except for one thing; for her to be mine.

Our lips move together and I move my hand up to her side. I kiss her until I run out of breath and I slowly slide my lips off hers. I gently press my forehead against her's and we stare at each other again.

I put some hair behind Noreen's ear and she smiles shyly. She places her hand on my shoulder and pulls me in for a hug.

"I missed you too..." she mumbles in my chest.

I place my chin on her head and rub her back. You know what you got yourself into Luke. I shouldn't have, but that's what I always tell myself and I always do. My emotions are helping this demon destroy me. The closer I get to Noreen the stronger I feel about her, the worse it gets. It's so easy to keep my nightmare close, but my nightmare is also my fantasy. So what happens when it's all just a lie?

Noreen pulls away from the hug and looks at me.

"I'll come back," she says, and then she leaves to go to class.

I walk to my class and once I enter the room all eyes are on me. The teacher, Mr. Eric stops his lesson and tells everyone to work on the assignment just given. He gestures for me to go out to the hall and I do as he says. He comes out and looks up; he always been pretty short.

"You know what this means Luke," he says sternly.

I groan, but nod.

"Detention today, if you're not there I'm making it a week. You have no excuse to be this late. Where were you anyway?" He asks.
