* Luke's p.o.v *

I purposefully put in a horror film to scare Eloise, and thankfully it worked. All the colour drained from her face when she saw the opening credits to the film.

"Really Luke? Out of all the movies of course you had to pick a horror one!" she said the last part laughing.

"Don't worry, if you're scared you can come and sit next to me. I'll protect you" I said jokingly. Her head whipped round to face me.

"You know what? I think I'll take you up on that offer" she said as she made her way down to couch to where her head was resting on my chest and my arm was around her shoulders. Strangely it felt normal to be sat like this and I liked it. Wait, why was I thinking like this? This is only the second time I've met her!

We sat watching the movie munching on the pizza and other snacks when halfway through the movie I was getting bored by the movie.

"Can I call you El?" I nudged Eloise looking down at her.

"Yeah I don't mind. You can call me anything you want" she replied smiling back up at me.

"Well I'm boreeddd" I said in my whiny voice

"okay well what do you want to do then?" she was chuckling

"hmmm... What about we play 20 questions?" he replied.

"Okay 20 questions it is..."

-----------------------------------------------

*Eloise's p.o.v*

I didn't know what to think about playing 20 questions. On the one hand I really wanted to get to know Luke, but I didn't want to tell him about my past just yet.

"okay first question... full name?" he asked.

"Eloise Grace Radley. Yours?"

"Luke Robert Hemmings. Any siblings?"

"nope" I replied popping the p "you?"

"yeah two older brothers. They all left home a couple of years ago though."

We carried on with these types of questions until he asked

"So what's your family like?"

I instantly froze. He was asking me about my family. It was too early to tell him yet. I felt the walls closing in. No, I couldn't do this here. I stopped thinking about them the moment Ieft town. I had to get out. I quickly stood up. I could already feel the tears forming in my eyes.

"Eloise are you okay?"

"I'm sorry Luke, I need to go." And with that I grabbed my bag and ran out of the apartment.
