The lie that brought us together --Jerika Highschool

What a good boyfriend you make

Erika's POV
When I got home there was beer bottles, drugs and trash everywhere. I walked into Luke and I's room and there he was chugging a bottle of beer. When he finished it he chucked it to the side and grabbed another one. He still hadn't seen me.

E: LUKE
L: Heeeeyyyyyy Erika what are you doing back so early. I thought you weren't supposed to be home for another few hours.
E: Well I decided to go to bed early tonight because I start my new job tomorrow.
L: You never told me you got a nee job.
E: Well that's because I just got it.
L: What is the job?
E: Im going to be an assistant.
L: For who?
E: Why do I need to tell you?
L: BECAUSE I AM YOUR BOYFRIEND AND YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT YOUR DOING AND WHEN YOUR DOING IT. AM I UNDERSTOOD?
E: What a good boyfriend you make!!

I started to break into tears. Luke came up to me and gave me a hug.

L: Im sorry for yelling at you. I really didn't mean it. Im so sorry.
E: Its ok I forgive you only if you clean up this apartment at once.
L: Yes ma'am.

I can see the goodness in his heart. I know he really didn't mean that. Once the house was cleaned up I hopped in the shower. When I was  done I hopped in bed and snuggled up to Luke's chest.

I was about to fall asleep when I feel Luke moving to grab something on the side of the bed. I pretend I was asleep so I could see what he was grabbing. I slightly opened my eyes and there he was chugging a bottle of beer.

He seriously has a major alcohol problem. I open my eyes and sit up and he gets scared.

L: I thought you where asleep.
E: I thought you were going to sleep.
L: ...
E: Whats with you and all the alcohol. I want you to get every bottle of alcohol out that you have.

He hopped out of bed and grabbed cases on case of beer. He must of had hundreds. He stopped laying the beer on the floor and I could tell by the way he was acting there was more he wasn't showing.

E: Go get all of it or I will tear this apartment apart and find every last drop of that stuff.
L: No please don't.
E: Oh and thats not all. I will break up with you as well.
L: Ok im sorry I will get them all.

Once he had retrieved all of the alcohol. I made sure it was all. I mad him go into the bathroom and just stand there. While he was collecting all the beer I had gone and grabbed a wine opener.

I instructed Luke to stay where he was and he had to watch me pour every last bottle into the sink.

I must of been emptying them for a while because before I knew it it was 4 in the morning.

That's when it hit me. I had a job I had to be at in 3 hours. I hopped in bed and slept for 4 hours. Uh oh.

I must of slept passed my alarm because I woke up to a call from Jake. I answered and told him why I had been up all night. When I started to talk about Luke he got really sad.

After our little chat I told him I would be there as soon as possible.

After a nice shower and some time to get ready I finally arrived at Jake's apartment. He let me in and he game me some easy jobs to do like take out his garbage and add stuff to his calendar.

The day flew by so fast. When I had finished all the work Jake had for me I packed up said my goodbye and left.

When I arrived home. You'll never guess what I saw. It was Luke with more alcohol. He saw me and immediately tried to hide it all. I could clearly see the anger in his eyes. He was mad about what I did last night.

He got up and stalked over to me. He got in my face. His breath smelled like alcohol. I turned away and grabbed the door handle. After slightly opening the door he pulled me back and I dripped my purse.

He pulled me towards him and we started screaming at each other.

L: Where were you all day?
E: I was working all day so I could go get groceries so we can survive. All you do all day is sit in this apartment and drink while I have to do all the work.

That must of been his breaking point. He started to beat me up. I tried to fight back but after a while I just gave up. He beat me for about 20 minutes longer. He walked away into our room. I just lay on the floor sobbing and that is when the door opened but before I could see who it was I blacked out.

Jake's POV
I was getting ready to leave my house when I found Erika's phone. She must of left it. I decided I would drip it off before I left. I hopped in the elevator and went down a floor. I remember her telling me she lived a floor under me. I found her room. The door was propped open with a purse.

I slowly pushed the door open. When I looked in there where beer bottles all over the floor but mist shocking was that Erika was laying on the floor in a ball.

I walked up to her and tapped her. She didn't move so I rolled he over and thats when I noticed she had bruises all over her body.

I immediately called 911 and they where on their way. I ran through her apartment when I found a room with a man in it. I remember her telling me about her boyfriend. He turned around and glared at me. Thats when I punched him in the face and he fell to the ground.

I went back to Erika and checked he pulse. It was slowly decreasing so I started CPR. The paramedics shortly arrived and loaded he onto a stretcher. I ran to the parking garage and hopped in my car fallowing the ambulance to the hospital.

My only worry now is Erika and nothing else.

Thats it for that chapter. I felt bad for not uploading so I wrote a long chapter. Thanks for 9k reads by the way. None of you know how much this really means to me. Thanks. I will see you next time.
Peace!!!
