chapter 12
luke's pov.
"did you kill your parents?" her voice rang through my ears.
i couldn't let her know the truth.
she would hate me.
she would think i was crazy.
she was an innocent soul that had no part in my doings.
but i couldn't do that, i can't just lie to her.
i had to be honest, even if she did hate me, at least she wouldn't love me not knowing i killed someone.
"i- i... i will be honest with you." i sighed and she held my hand.
"luke... i'm not gonna promise that i won't be scared. just know you can tell me anything. and you have to be truthful, i will help in anyway i can." she whispered, eyes watering.
"promise?" i snivelled.
"promise." she smiled unsure.
"i killed them sydney." i bawled into my hands.
"i don't know why, something just came over me. i feel like i didn't even do it. i didn't want them to die, i loved them. i killed them. i don't know why, sydney. i'm confused and i'm fucked up." i cried between breaths.
she just stood there.
her eyes with some tears in them, her face, a mix of confusion and fear.
she backed away.
"don't be scared sydney..." i tried to catch her hand.
"i love you." i sniffled.
"you loved your parents..." she whispered.
i came towards her.
"please. help me." i bit my lip.
"i'm worried luke, i'm scared. i know i said i would help but, you just have to give me time." she sighed.
"i just found out that the guy i had sex with today and my potential boyfriend is a murderer." she shook her head.
"don't call me that." i spat.
"what the fuck do you want me to call you luke!? fire boy or some shit?! you are a murderer." she pointed a finger at me, and slowly backed away, tears flushing down her face.
"don't fucking call me that!" i pounded my fists on the coffee table.
she reached for her phone, but i grabbed her wrists.
i flipped her over so that i was pinning her on the floor.
she yelped,
"your'e hurting me luke."
i let go, and she kicked her foot against my stomach.
"shit." i gasped as she got her phone and unlocked the door.
i laid there, holding my stomach as i growled swear words.
i stood up, right as she pressed the elevator button.
i ran to catch the elevator but didn't get it on time.
i pressed my back against the doors, and pulled my hair.
"i'm such an idiot." i said aloud.
i cried for what felt like hours, making my way to her apartment door.
i crawled on to the couch, weeping.
where was she?
where did she go?
