Lucas

After everything I had done to Ruby, I hate myself for it. The first encounter we had;

"I want to help you Red!" I slightly pulled on her arm.

"Red?" She furrowed her brows. "Well considering your hair is red, I think it suits you." She shook her head, "My name is Ruby." I shrugged, "Yes, but everyone calls you Ruby, don't they?"

She nodded, "Well I'm not everyone." She scoffed. "No, you're right, you're Lucas King. You don't help people like me. just leave me alone." She walked away, leaving me stunned and a bit hurt.

To our last encounter which was at the hospital.

Hearing her say those things about me really got me, hard. I never knew how broken she really was after all of those things that had occurred. I mean it really didn't help me asking Jason to humiliate her, showing his isn't weak. I regret that so much and wish I could take everything back.

After that encounter, I did talk to Mrs. Jackson about it, and asked if I could help her 'tidy' Ruby's room, when in fact I wanted her to help me construct a letter for her.

She clearly agreed, and that whole night we spent writing a letter and of course tidying Ruby's room. Now I did ask how it got this messy, but Mrs. Jackson told me that it wasn't my concern.

And well... it was, as Ruby is my concern. I care for her, like no other girl I have ever met. I mean I had to pretend to care for Olivia to stop her from doing those things to Ruby and seemingly it worked for a while, but clearly not for Ruby's heart.

Then there was that day she admitted her feelings for me... oh how I wish I could take it back. I humiliated her. I ruined her. She was the laughing stock because of me... because I was too scared to admit my own feelings.

Then Johnny being nosy, I had to play that I wasn't interested. I needed to show I was still that cold hearted popular boy every girl dreamed of. How every girl drooled over, and how easily I could break their hearts. The cliché kind

But that all changed as soon as I walked into Ruby's life, but it is too late for that. She didn't want me in the first place due to Cameron. Gosh I hate him. No wait I despise him.

He took Samantha away from me, she was mine. All mine, but that was quickly taken when her life was washed away. I cried a lot. And that turned me into the boy I am today. I didn't want love, in fact I despised the thought of even having the sickly warmth feeling in my body.

That feeling rushing through veins, that excitement I get when I see the person I loved. I hated it. I didn't see the point in love, I mean love doesn't last.

But with Ruby, I want that sickly feeling. I want that warmth running through my veins, I want her to be mine.

Today I was going to her house, I was hoping she had read the letter and it changed her perspective of me.

I knocked on her door, in which Mrs. Jackson greeted me, "Morning dear."

"Morning, is Ruby in?" She nodded, "She's upstairs."

"Can I go see her?" She smiled nodding away, she opened the door further allowing me to enter, which then I rushed upstairs to a door in which I presume is Ruby's.
