WAYWARD - L.H

"I'm trying but its so hard" I whined at Lucas as we talk thru skype

"But babe, I won't tell you anything that you don't want to do. If you don't want to hang around my brother during trig tutorials its fine by me. Get another tutor."

I sighed, "I tried. I really can't handle him"

"No one can. Even in our family no one can handle him."

I didn't respond to him but instead I grabbed the glass of water beside my laptop and drank.

"Well, I got to go and you need to sleep. I love you see you soon"

"I love you too, babe"

and just like that Lucas ended the call. I don't know about you but ever since he went back Australia he became cold like he doest even care what's happening with me here in New York. He's so busy that a 5 minutes phone call cuts down to just 2 minutes. Sometimes, I feel like he's making himself busy so that he wouldn't have to call me or he's ignoring me at all. He's been in Australia for almost  three weeks now but so far we only had seven Skype calls. I must be crazy thinking that maybe he's doing something else behind my back.

I shrugged my thoughts and went downstairs.

The fridge was open I can hear the bottles jiggling and a tall figure bent down searching for something.

"What are you doing here?" I exclaimed crossing my arms on my chest.

I saw Luke munching on my fries I bought from macass the other day.

"I was hungry" He exclaimed like everything's fine between us.

"I still hate you. You got some nerves"

"Bygones be bygones"

"I just..."

"What?"

Before I could protest more he grabbed my wrists and dragged me out of my own house.

"You always do this! let go of me! stop!" I screamed.

He tightened his grip.

"Goddammit you're a lunatic! I said let go of me!!!"

"No!"

"Why?!"

"SHUT UP!" He yelled as I protested even more,

I tried to escape his grip but in the end I let him drag me just to get things over with.

I wasn't surprised when he brought me back to their apartment, Lucas and his. Since they literally live 6 blocks away from me.

"What are we doing here?" I snapped,

"I said shut up!" He hissed.

I rolled my eyes at him. There's no point arguing with this jerk.

He opened the door letting his keys jiggle. I almost burst out laughing seeing that his key set has a small penguin keychain. I tried so hard to choke down my laughter knowing that I might end up beaten if I do some kind of act. A guy who wears all black and is a fuckterd has a penguin keychain on his set of keys, wow, badass.

He opened the door right away, dragging me inside with himself and banged the door behind us with full force making me more afraid and feisty.

He pushed me on the couch making me stumble on my butt. I groaned in frustration.

"Look, if this is hard for you then this is harder for me!" He started with a pissed tone,

"I told you, if you can't hang then its fine by me. I called off the stupid tutor thing anyway" I crossed my arms in front of my chest.

"I can't! I can't let you go!"

I furrowed my brows, what's this bullshit about?!

"What?" I asked sarcastically

"I cant. I just can't"

"Why? what do you mean. You're not making any sense"

"Listen, just...I promise to stop being a jerk to you I'll try being nice just please don't stay away from me"

I sighed and brushed the strands of my hair with my fingers in frustration.

I looked straight into his eyes trying to find any lies in it but I can't, "Okay!" I whined, finally giving in. "You're such a pain in the ass" I added earning a smirk from his him.

"What are you smirking at?!" I asked, pretending to be annoyed.

"Nothing, I just like it when you do that"

"Do what?"

"Look so attractive without doing anything"
