It ain't me (Sequel to "What an asshole you are, Zachary"), Zach Kornfeld fanfic

Forgiveness

The ride home wasn't like rides with Luke always were. He was accelerating too fast and sometimes I feared his decisions while overtaking other cars or turning. His brows were furrowed all the time and his knuckles were turning white cause he was gripping the wheel too hard.

"Get out of the car," He sternly said as soon as we arrived in the garage. I bit my lip and reached out for his hand to stroke it lightly. "Don't touch me and get out of this fucking car as soon as possible," Were the words he groaned as he pulled it away.

"Luke, nothing happened between me and Zach, I promi-," I said, feeling the tears forming in my eyes while speaking.

He turned his ice blue eyes to me and a smirk appeared on his face. The first thought that went through my mind was how different his eyes became, just like Zach's did when he was mad.

"Do you think I am fucking stupid, Kiara? I might love you a lot but I'm not retarded!" He unbuckled my seatbelt and gestured me to go out. This time I decided it was best to listen to him since I had no idea what to say.

The fact that he was aware of what happened last night between me and Zach made me feel ashamed yet I still didn't want to admit it. Loud steps next to me made me look up just to be met by Luke's eyes that were shooting bullets.

"Were you at Kornfeld's last night? Were you?!" His voice was getting louder word by word. 

I shook my head no and a feeling, unknown to me until now, started forming in my stomach. Taking a step back I hit the wall, letting me know I had no escape from Luke now.

"I wasn't Luke, I pro-," I started saying and was interrupted by his fist hitting the wall next to my head.

"Don't you dare lying to me! I'll repeat it one more fucking time: were you at Kornfeld's last night?" My bottom lip started trembling as my hands grabbed my stomach in order to protect it. 

Luke's blue eyes were cold and his whole face was a mess. It became scary looking and I couldn't believe this was the same person that was so gentle to me. His fists kept repeating the same movements, one was hitting the wall and the other one was just clenched next to his torso.

"I... I... Yes," I quietly admitting, afraid of his further reaction. I wrapped my arms around my body as his crazy eyes met mine.

"So you were whoring around while I," He pointed his finger at him. "While I was taking care of you after you were so fucking heartbroken?" His voice was venomeous and I felt tears running down my face. Drops of his saliva were now on my face as he was spitting these words to me.

Again, I shook my head no, regretting everything that happened last night. This side of Luke was something I didn't know until now and to be honest, my situation seemed to be pointless. We were standing among cars in a garage of his flat with no one else around. He was over 6 feet tall muscular male and my condition left me with no possible fighting back.

"Stop lying to me!" Were the last words until his hand met my face, leaving me shocked. It was not the usual couplish touch we used to share, it was a serious hit, pointing directly at my left cheek. The sound it created made me whimper and Luke take a step back.

There was only silence between us, I couldn't even shed a tear from shock. My normal instinct would normally be anger but right now I knew it was my duty to protect Fiona at all costs.

Luke was just staring at me and he seemed to be surprised with him as well. His left hand was still in the same height as my cheek and I was afraid of it hitting me again. I no longer saw Luke as someone I'd love to cuddle with, I saw him as someone I should run away from as soon as possible.

"Kiara," He whispered and palmed my cheek. My immediate reaction was to step back but I couldn't get anywhere since my back was already pressed on the wall. The contact he made this time was very different from the hit he aimed at me before.

"Get away from me!" I didn't know where the power to scream this loud came from but it was definitely unusual for me. It seemed as if all the fear my body contained was produced into strength to avoid this man. 

His now soft face fell down when he heard my voice but I already knew he wasn't going to give up on me yet. On the other hand, I thought I knew this man before yet his punch proved me wrong. I had no idea what was happening inside his head.

"I'm sorry, baby. I don't know what have gotten into me, please Kiara, you have to believe me," He murmured and gently wrapped his arms around me. "I would never hurt you or Fiona."

The hug was supposed to be soothing for me as I could get lost in Luke's arms but this time it was the opposite. My maternal instinct and fear for myself made me whimper one more time as it was giving the completely twisted feelings, leaving me with no clue what to do.

"I love you, Kiara, please believe me when I say it. I just got mad about the thought of you getting back with Zach, I got so afraid," He then whispered and gently pulled me closer before pressing his lips on mine.

And even though my head was telling me to get away from that guy I knew the best thing I could do now was to forgive him about the punch and let it slide. After all, I was an 8 months pregnant homeless woman in Los Angeles with no place to live.
