Destined

Silent

Leilani's POV

I heard a knock on my room door.
I groaned in frustration. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock.

8:57

It's too early!!! I sat up and put my pillow on my lap.

"Come in." I say. I heard the door open, but I was already nodding off.

"I need your help." I hear someone say. I looked up to see Luke.

"What are you doing here? At 9 in the morning? Shouldn't you be with Sierra?" I ask him as I rub by eyes.
He didn't answer so I looked at him.
He was sitting on my bed with a sad look in his eyes.

"What? What's wrong?" I ask him noticing his upset look.

"She's gone. They came and took her. They distracted my mom and then they took her. I was trying to get her back, but they put a gun to my head." He said.
I felt bad. I saw how much she missed him, just by the way she was holding onto him.

"I'm sorry." I tell him. He shook his head trying to hold back tears.

"I just got her back. She was only with me for three hours. Not counting the time I was asleep." He said.

"Okay, well what do you want me to do?" I ask him. He looked at me.

"Can you stay with me. Like, make sure I don't drink. Because that's all I feel like doing. I feel like drowning my problems by getting drunk. Because when I wake up. I can't remember what happened. I just want to forget so bad, I do things that are hurting me. And I need help. Can you help me?" He asked me. I nodded with a warning smile.

"I gotchu." I tell him. He smiled and hugged me.

"Thank you Leilani." He told me.
He let me go and looked down.

"All I ever wanted to do was protect her. I wanted to be there for her. But I can't. I can't because I'll get killed. But I'd rather be dead and save her, then to be alive and let her keep getting hurt." Luke told me. I didn't know how to respond.

"We'll find her. I promise." I tell him.
He nodded.

I heard a knock then a laugh.

"Wow, and to think we came to apologize to you. But you're still talking to him behind our backs." Nick said. I rolled my eyes.

"I didn't come to apologize. I didn't do anything." Noah said, as he sat on my bed. I chuckled at him.

"I'm not talking to him behind your back. Stop assuming stuff." I respond, getting annoyed.

"Then what is this?" Patrick asks me, motioning to me and Luke.

"I just came to ask her a question. I'm about to leave though." Luke tells them as he stands up.

"He wasn't talking to you." Nick says walking to Luke. I stand up and stand in between the two.

"You're defending him now?" Nick asked me.
