Ch. 15

| Luke's pov |

It gets late and Noreen and I are home alone for a little too long. I know my dad has a late shift but my mom is usually home by now, something isn't right. I get off the couch as Noreen and I were watching a movie and go to the home phone. Noreen doesn't say anything and sits quietly. I dial my mom's phone, it rings but she doesn't pick up. I call a second time, then third...

"Luke, I'm a little busy right now, I'll be home soon," her voice is shaken up, but it sounds like she's mad.

"Where are you? It's almost eleven o'clock," I complain.

Noreen glances over at me but doesn't say a word.

"I'm busy Luke, okay? Bye bye," then she hangs up.

I put down the phone and march towards the door. There's only one place where she could be.

"Where are you going?" Noreen asks.

"Just out for a walk, fresh air," I lie; but it wasn't completely a lie. I was going for a walk to Mr. Oliver's house.

"Okay..." she sighs.

"Lock the door, be safe," I say then I walk outside before she gets to say bye.

I try to remember how to get to Noreen's house from mine, then once I get to a certain street I start to remember. I walk faster now, what if I'm wrong? What if my mom's not there? How do I even know that she could be? I know that because my mother never talks with such fear in her voice unless she's talking about Mr. Oliver. That's how.

I arrive in front of the large house and I see that the lights are on. I see two figures that have to be my mom and Mr. Oliver. I creep closer to the window to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Richard you are not coming near my son! What don't you understand!?" My mother shouts.

"He is keeping my daughter hostage; I have every right to call the police," he replies.

"That's ridiculous! Call the police? Must I mention that you beat her daily and she came to us to get away from you? She wants to be with him,"

"Not when I tell her he killed her mother,"

"Are you seriously going there? It was an accident! Don't come near Noreen or Luke!"

"Don't come near my own daughter! I can get her whenever I please!"

Now they are both yelling.

"Then why didn't you get her before! If you can get her whenever you please?"

"Because she's worthless and I don't want her if she's going to be all stuck up and day dreaming about your son!"

I ball up my fist, and my face gets hot. How dare he say that, I want to punch him so badly.

"You don't want her if you can't hurt her because you know once she's back here you'll be watched,"

"Watched? No I won't! Liz just get out of my house now! Just keep your psycho family away from me!"

"You're so sick. Go to hell,"

My mother tries to leave, but he grabs her by the wrist and that's when I barge in. I won't allow him to hit my mom. He raises his hand but I push him with all my might and he lets her go.

"Don't touch my mother you bastard!" I yell at the top of my lungs.

My breathing speeds up and my veins bulge out of my skin.

"Luke, how did you get here?" My mother asks, she's about to cry.

"I walked," I answer.

"Get out my house!" Richard shouts.
