I decided to stay with Lucas and took things slow, very slow, although I did tell him about my past and circumstances with my mother. He was very understanding, not as comforting as Yuri but he offered for me to continue to stay at his. After the first couple of weeks, we had our routine down to clockwork. He would drive me to within walking distance of the school in the mornings, we would spend lunch together in the PE block, then after school, I would do my homework in the library then he would pick me up outside the park a couple of streets down.
Our relationship was going smoothly, however, every time I saw Yuri I felt the guilt trying to suffocate me. I don't know why though since I'm doing this for him. He's finally made new friends, I notice him hanging out with them at break times. I've even noticed one of the jocks flirting with him and constantly staring at him with pink cheeks from across the room.
He's hot, straight A's as well as sporty and no foreseeable flaws; what else could Yuri want? I know I did the right thing. Afterall, I'm failing half my classes, am an ugly mess and evidently Yuri can do a lot better...
...now that I know he is doing well I can finally start to focus on my own life. However, I still don't understand why the gold ring I gave him is still fixed around his finger, I've not once seen him without it on.
Christmas as drawing nearer and Lucas had said he wanted to take me to a cottage that his family owned in the countryside. he said he was tired of having to hide me in his house and wanted to take me out somewhere nice.

"Are you almost packed?" he says slinging his bag over his shoulder then placing a soft kiss on my lips.
"Yeah, I just need to grab my toothbrush and toothpaste," I reply as I wiggle out of his arm and walk towards the bathroom.
"Ok," he calls after me, "I'll wait for you in the car."
The car journey was long and tedious, we were stopped by traffic lights every thirty seconds and then what was supposed to be two-hour drive ended up amounting to three. At about halfway I offered to give him a break and drive for a bit but he declined, said he was fine and that I should try and get some sleep.

My eyes flutter open as we pull into a small country lane, "Are we there yet?" I moan sleepily.
"Almost," he smiles, placing his hand on my thigh and stroking lightly with his thumb.
I groan slightly and roll over, planning to fall back asleep but my eyes widen at the view that stretches out beyond the car. The grass is so stunningly green, sections of it fenced off and being grazed by sheep. The landscape was sculpted by mountains and hills that captured the light of the distant sunset reflecting off of small lakes. All of this overlooked with a clear sky, now turning shades of orange and pink as the sun falls further behind a distant peak. "Beautiful..." I whisper to myself.
"Isn't it just." Lucas speaks up from beside me, "this was my favourite place to come as a kid. Me and my parents would always stay here during the summer and every evening I would sit out in the garden and watch the sunset."
"Your parents, they were nice?"
"Yes, they were," he replies sadly "were your parents? you know...your real parents?"
"I can't remember, I like to think they were though..."
The car then comes to a stop outside a small white cottage, "This is it!"
I open my door and the first to jump out is the dog whose name I've learned is 'Lucky', he rushes up the front door and barks manically until Lucas pulls a key from his pocket and swings it open.
Once I'm inside I feel Lucas' arms slip around my waist, "So what do you think? Can you manage two weeks here with me?"
"Hmmm, I'm not sure..." I joke, pushing him away and racing upstairs to find the bedroom and start to get organised.

Yuri POV
"...Simba, you are more than what you have become..." the television echoes throughout the empty house. A bottle lies empty on the rug and the stench of alcohol fills the room. I just can't bring myself to do anything. I go to school, put on a smile then come home to the empty house and do nothing. Victor is a complete jerk! He waltzes into my life, steals my heart then the moment things get difficult he bails.
Stupid Victor! I push myself up off the sofa and reach for my phone, dialling his number and listening intently to the rings, but it goes to voicemail, "Please leave a message after the tone." I try to restrain myself but in my drunken state, I'm really not surprised...
*Beep*
"You're an idiot, you know that right?! All I wanted was for you to be there for me, but you couldn't even do that!" I slur, bringing to mind all the moments we had spent together in bliss. Our first kiss, the skating, even the party...tears start to brim my eyes and I break down sobbing, "How could you leave me! I loved you, Victor! I FUCKING LOVED YOU AND YOU LEFT ME!"
*Beep*
A.N. I'm so sorry for the dreadful writing. Anyways, this story is drawing to a close soon, maybe 3 more chapters.
