Chapter 3

Lesley's POV

The bell rang for 7th period and I walked to Mrs. Dolton's room. "I thought you already had math?" I said to Luke.

"I did," he said smiling. I smiled and walked inside the door.

"Oh, meet me by the cafeteria when the bell rings," I said to him. He nodded and waved. I sat in my seat and waited for class to start. The period went by really fast and before I knew it, it was time to go home.

I went to my locker and put my stuff up. I walked to the cafeteria and looked around for Luke. I watched as he walked down the hallway.

"Time to go home?" he asked.

"Yup," I said smiling.

"Finally," he said smiling back. We walked to the front and waited for Mrs.Johnson. When she pulled up, Luke and I got in the car.

"How was school?" she asked us.

"Good," I said quickly.

"Yup," Luke said after.

"You meet any new people?" she asked Luke.

"Yeah, but I stayed with Lesley most of the time," he said looking at his phone.

"I talked to your mother and she won't be home until early in the morning, so she wants you to stay with me and Lesley tonight," Mrs.Johnson said to him.

"Wait, I'm staying too?" I asked surprised.

"Yup, your father left with that girl last night and he won't be back for a while," she informed me. Hopefully he won't be back, I thought to myself.

"So where am I going to sleep?" I asked.

"In my bed," she said back.

"Where are you going to sleep?" I asked again.

"In the TV room," she said back. I nodded and looked at my phone. I scrolled through Instagram and Twitter, nothing else to do.

"I can sleep in the TV room, I know you have a bad back," I said, being nice.

"Are you sure? I mean, the only reason I wanted to is so you wouldn't feel uncomfortable sleeping so close to Luke," she said back. Luke raised his head up with a confused face.

"What is he gonna do? Rape me? I think it would be okay," I said laughing. Mrs. Johnson laughed and Luke smiled.

"Would you be okay with it, Luke?" Mrs. Johnson asked.

"It's okay with me, as long as she does not rape me," he said smiling at me.

"It's only rape if its forced," I mumbled to myself, apparently a little too loud. 

"What?!?" Luke said laughing. 

"You heard me," I said smirking.

We got to Mrs. Johnson's house and Luke started walking to his house when he turned around.

"Come on, I'll show you my house," he said pulling me by my wrist. I looked at Mrs. Johnson and she smirked.

Luke unlocked the door and I followed him inside. I looked around and saw boxes and furniture everywhere. "We're not fully moved in yet," he said laughing. I followed him up a flight of stairs.

He pushed open a door and revealed a small bedroom. The walls were black and had hardwood floors. Clothes were all over the floor and punk rock band posters on the walls. The bed was covered in black and white blankets that were unmade.

"Nice room," I said looking around.

"It's kinda dirty because I still haven't unpacked everything," he said getting a bag out of the closet. He packed clothes and other things he would need.

"Okay, I got everything," he said as I walked out the door. He followed me outside and he locked the front door.

"I need to go to my house for a sec," I said walking off the porch.

I unlocked the door and walked to my bedroom. He looked around while I got my things. He went into my bathroom and I sighed. I left the bloody razor in there, the one thing I forgot to clean. I heard him gasp and he ran in.

"What is this?!?!" he asked me, holding the razor. I turned around and quietly said, "A razor." 

"Why is it bloody?" he asked.

"I don't know," I said back.

He walked over to me and grabbed my wrist. He looked carefully at my arms. I couldn't help but to start crying.

"Why would you do this to yourself?" he asked me with tears in his eyes.

"I'd rather not talk about it," I said back. I grabbed my things and ran toward my door. Luke grabbed my arm and pulled me into him. He gave me a sweet hug. I could smell his cologne, it smelt amazing. I snuggled into his chest and sobbed.

"Promise me you'll stop," he whispered in my ear. I nodded and he hugged me tighter.

"Why do you care? we just met," I asked quietly.

"I lost my best friend due to suicide. I don't want to lose my only friend in America due to it," he said back. I smiled at how caring he was. He kissed my forehead and butterflies appeared in my stomach.

He let go of me and grabbed my arm. He pulled my sleeves up and kissed every scar on my arm. I smiled and he looked at me. "I'm going to check every Friday, okay?" he said putting a strand of hair behind my ear. I nodded and he walked out the door, me following him. We walked on the porch and I locked the door. We walked toward Mrs. Johnson's house.

"So I was thinking of turning the TV room into a bedroom for you and just put the TV in the living room," Mrs. Johnson said to me.

"Yeah, that sounds great," I said smiling, acting like I was interested.

"You can decorate it how ever you want, just leave the pant color," she said back. I smiled and nodded.

"Well, I'm going to make dinner," she said getting up and walking toward the kitchen, leaving Luke and I alone. We looked at each other for a while, wondering what to do. 

"So, what do you want to do?" Luke asked.

"I don't know, what do you want to do?" I asked back.

"I don't know," he said petting Jasmine.

"Want to play a board game?" I asked.

"Sure, what do you have?" he asked.

"Umm let me look," I said walking into the TV room. I opened the cabinet and looked at all the bored games Mrs.J had. "Umm she has Clue, Sorry, Monopoly, Life, and CandyLand," I said loudly from the other room.

"Umm, Life?" he said back. I grabbed it off the top and shut the cabinet door. I walked back to the living room and placed it on the coffee table.

I sat the board up and got out the little cars with people. "Have you played this before?" I asked.

 "Yeah," he said back. We played for a while when it became really late.
