Chapter Nine ~ Towers That Aren’t Good Enough ~

*Luke POV*

Walking into the supermarket with Elena and Sawyer, I look around to see a bunch of people looking over at me. Oh right I was Luke Hemmings. Sighing I follow Elena and we buy everything that was need for the next two weeks. Lately Elena and I have been getting closer and not fighting as much which was kind of a miracle. Elena walks around with Sawyer grasping a hold of her long skirt and sucks her thumb at the same time. Walk over to them faster I scoop Sawyer up and she giggles. Carrying her the rest of the time Elena got everything bought and Sawyer fell asleep in the car. When we get back to the apartment I noticed that Elena was being super quiet.

“Hey are you ok?” I ask Elena and she looks shocked that I even asked her that.

“No, my parents called me to say that they want me to attend one of their business parties.”

“But you don’t want to go?” She nods her head and I hug her. We stay stand while I hug her and she hugs back tightly. I could get use to this.

Once again Elena and I were at the Brooks’s house once again. This time we brought Sawyer along and Elena was making sure that no harm would come to her. Walking over to her parents Elena’s mum smiles at me but stop smiling when she see’s Sawyer holding on to my finger in her little hand. Elena greets both of her parents and they greet her back with a cold stare. Elena whispers something to her two parents and they look at Sawyer who was looking around the big house confused. Elena’s father kneels down and shakes Sawyer’s little hand.

“Hello there Sawyer. I’m Elena’s daddy.”

“Hi! I’m Sawyer and I’m five!” Elena’s dad laughs and stands back up. Elena’s mother on the other hand glared at Sawyer and walks away without saying anything. Mr. Brooks picks Sawyer up and takes her to see his famous collection of baseball cards. Looking over at Elena she was talking with her mum. Going to the bar I ask for a coke and then go back to Elena.

I’ve been looking around for three hours and I still can’t find Elena anywhere. Sawyer was still with Mr. Brooks and he was explaining to Sawyer about the new toy he was going to make, Sawyer being herself told what to make the toy like. Going up the stairs I see the Elena’s bedroom door was slightly open. Walking closer to it I hear crying and screaming.

“Colton let go of me please!” Rushing to the door I open it wide and see Elena pinned down on her bed in a ripped dress and the Colton guy over her kissing her neck. Elena was crying and sobbing and trying to push him off. Walking over to him I pull him off Elena. Helping Elena up I put her behind me and she clings herself to me. The guy stands to his feet and punches me right in the jaw. Elena screams and tries to get Colton away from me. He pushes her away and she hit her back on the corner of a desk. Anger rises in me and I punch him in the gut. He crouches down in pain and it gives me a chance to kick him in the stomach. Elena stands up and suddenly falls over. Rushing to her side I hold her weak body in mine and she had blood rushing down her back shoulder. Taking off my jacket I place it where the wound was.

As I was about to carry her limp body the bastard starts to choke me.  Struggling to get him off of me I could feel my vision start to fog up. Finding the presser point in his arm I push it and he pulls away in pain. Standing to my feet I get on top of him and start to punch his face repeatedly. As I was about to punch him once more someone takes a hold of my arm and I stop. Looking behind me I see Elena in tears and she looked so scared. Getting off the filthy bastard I hold Elena’s face and look into her eyes. Carrying her down the stairs everyone looked at me shocked and Mr. Brooks runs to me.

“What the hell happened to my daughter?” He yells and Sawyer looks at me with tears.

“Go ask your business partner Colton.” pushing past him Sawyer holds on to my jacket and follows me.

Once at the hospital the cop ask me a bunch of questions and I answer then without any hesitation. Elena’s parents rush into the hospital and ask me where Elena was. I tell them that she was resting and then go into Elena’s room. Sawyer was with Mr. Brooks while I watched Elena get questions asked by the police. I hold her hand and she tries to answer them without crying.

THe next week or so Elena pretended to be fine but I knew that she wasn’t. I could hear her cry every night before falling asleep and she goes to the bathroom a lot to throw up. I know that she isn’t pregnant but she is making herself throw up. She always shut herself in her room and she never ate anymore. One day I went into her room and saw her looking out the window crying. I left her to cry and she started to cut. I hid all the sharp things and she started to panic. Every night I would hear her cry, sob and scream.

Walking into Elena’s room it smelled like blood and smoke. I see her sitting on her bed smoking and I shut the door. Taking the cigarette out of her hand I flush it down the toilet and she mumbles uncertain words. Crawling into bed with her I let her cry until there was no more years left to shed. Finally she speaks after a week.

“Maybe he did that because he knew that I wasn’t good enough. Because you know what Luke? I’ll never be good enough for anyone. And all these towers that build up seem to swallow me up and once I am strong once more just like Twin Towers I crash to floor and explode. I’m going to tell you something that I have lived by since I was Sixteen. Towers like me aren’t good enough.”

“Well um I when I was on tour with One Direction the boys and I would always find a Diana. A Diana would be a girl who was broken and seemed like was just unfixable. One thing that no knew is that one Diana we would find ended saving us instead of us saving them. The One Direction boys made a song Diana and still to this day everytime I’m on tour I make sure to find that one girl who can save me. My favorite part of the song is “Diana let me be the one to light a fire inside those eyes. You’ve been lonely, you don’t even know me, but i can feel you crying.” I guess what I’m trying to say to you Elena is that you are my Diana. You once saved me and I will save you because I want you to be that Tower.”

So this was kind of a sad chapter. The three songs that i choose for this chapter was Good Enough and Towers both by Little Mix and Diana by One Direction. You guys can choose what song you want to hear.
