~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

It has been six days since we got back from Hawaii. It is surprising that me and Luke still haven't spent more than an hour away from each other. Luke currently doesn't have a job so he has followed me to work at the bowling alley. It almost feels as if Luke has moved in with me because he's also been staying at Steph's and Mine's place since we got back. I've tried to get him to go home and rest but he insists on staying. As of right now we are just sitting on the couch watching World War Z.

"You know what I like about this movie..." Steph says. who is sitting next to me and Luke. "You guys haven't had a good kissing scene." She laughs.

"whatever," I say then peck Luke on the lips.

"Why isn't there ever a  zombie in a bikini." Luke says.

"What you want to see rotting boobs?"

"Ehh, it wouldn't hurt."

You douche!" I laugh then hit him with a pillow. he grabs my waste and pulls me onto his lap, the movie had already ended.

"I'm going to bed." i say, "And Luke, go home, honestly don't you think the guys miss you?"

"I guess  you're right." He says defeated. "Are you sure? I don't really want to leave you."

"Don't be silly, besides, Steph is here!"

"Okay." He says, kissing me on the cheek.

"Now go! Hang out with the guys."

"I love you!" He says

"I love you too." I smile.

That night something horrible happened. I'm sitting on my bed right now. Bringing back what happened last night. I looked at my ankles, which were bruised, I looked at my face that was scratched. But mostly I thought. About the fact that I was raped for the 20th time last night. Steph had just left to sped the night somewhere and then the doorbell rang. When I opened it my step-father  had quickly raced in, shut the door, and dragged me upstairs. I tried to resist, but he slapped me and hit me. I was scared. I had tried to scream but he slapped me. He is gone now, and I called the cops again, but I'm scared. What happened to 'he changed'? 

Right then I heard the door open and close, "Steph?!" I yell. No answer. STEPH IS THAT YOU!?" I was freaking out. I wasn't sure who it was and then they started heading up the stairs. I yelled and started crying.

"LILY?!" I heard, I could recognize that voice anywhere, it started running up the stairs. Luke grabbed me in his arms. "What happened to you?" He said. Noticing the fact that I had bruises all over me.

"Luke, I'm sorry! I was r-raped again last night!" I yelled crying like crazy. "I'm so sorry, I-I didn't want this to happen! Please just don't leave!"

"Why in the world would I Leave you?" He says to me. Quietly. He rocks me back and forth for a while, "Where is he?"

"I don't know. I called the cops, but they said they would call me back when they found him but the haven't called me back yet." I sniffled a bit.

"Shhhhh." Luke kisses me on my forehead then continues to comfort me. "Don't worry. I'll never leave you alone again. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. You have a life, you can't revolve around me every second."

"Maybe not, but I'm going to try My best to always protect you from now on." He whispers to me.

"I love you, Luke." I look at him in the eyes.

"I love you, Lily." He says softly but as strong as ever. I lean in to him and kiss him. I keep my arms around his neck, and he puts his arms around my waist. I kiss him with so much passion until we have to part so we can breathe. I stand up holding my arm out to him. "I have something to show you. I just need to get dressed first." He nods.

We were in the car for about 30 minutes before we stopped at the graveyard where my father and Harper, my sister, were at their final resting place.

"Where are we?" Luke asks. We get out of the car and I put my hand in his.

"Just follow me." I tell him. We head to where my family was buried. and i sit down in front of their stones. Luke does the same.

"How did it happen?" Luke stares absent minded at the two stones.

"When I was five my father and my three year old sister and I went to the mall. We had decided to eat there. After we ate, we got bak in the car and drove off. My sister and I were fighting in the back seat over something really, really stupid. My dad turned around to tell us to knock it off and drifted off in to the opposite lane. Where we were hit by a truck. My dad died instantly, My little sister Harper, was in a coma for two days. But there was blood slowly filling her lungs, she died while I was there." I Stared at my sister's grave. "About a year after that my mom started dating again and then two years after that she married my step father." I hesitated at that word.

"Wow. Lily, I'm so proud of you. You've been through so much. I would be in a way worse condition than you if I went through that."

"I guess that Steph has helped me through it. I owe her my sanity." I laugh.

"I love you so much." Luke tells me.

"I love you more." I tell him matter of fact.

"Oh, Really?" He says then kisses me before I could respond.
