Our Long Summer

Chapter 14

Zoey's P.O.V.

I woke up slowly opening my eyes looking at my surroundings. I realized I was in Luke's room. I looked over if he was next to me and he was. I left a note by his bed saying I will text him later. I went down stairs quietly and I went back to my room. I looked at my phone and it was 8 in the morning. I saw Grace laying on her bed. I went to the kitchen and I made as cereal. As I finished I texted Luke

Me: Hey, I didn't want to wake you to tell you I was going back to my place.

He didn't respond about ten minutes later when my phone buzzed.

Luke: It's okay you could of a woken me up, I wouldn't of a mind;)

Me: Ok I can't wait till later!:):)

Luke: Me too babe, is it okay if I call you that?

Me: Sure I don't Mind ;)

Luke: Well than okay babe can I ask you a question?

Me: Of course!

Luke: Can you come to my room so I can ask you?

Me: Okay give me a sec

Luke: Thanks!

I went to Change into something more comfortable. I made my way up to his room and quietly as I can so I didn't wake anyone up. I walked into Luke's room and he was sitting on his bed. When I came in he had a big smile on his face and made me have a smile on my face as well.

"So what's your question?" I asked

"Okay so I was really wondering…If you can tell me…how come you would always like take a break like something was wrong like when you always sat down every once in awhile, like why tho?"

"Okay if I tell you, you can't tell anyone, also only Grace knows and that's it. Okay?"

"Okay"

"Okay, so It was the last day of school and my dad thought I was late home and just to let you know he drinks a lot, anyways he beat the shit out of me and wouldn't stop and it hurt so bad I barely couldn't breath nor talk he hit me until he saw bruises. I couldn't even walk. I told Grace that she can hang at 5 but I told her to text me first before she came and I would answer her to let her know to come so she went by house and the it was 5:15 so she decided to come by my house and she looked throughout the window and saw me on there floor. She climbed through my kitchen window and as she was going over to me and tried to get me out of that God dame house but my dad came back down stairs and she put me down and hid in a corner so he wouldn't see her he called me a piece of shit and kept on kicking me and punched me and went back up stars and then she carried me to her car and drove to her house, and it was hard to walk so that's why and then I ran away and Grace came with me." I didn't realized that I had tears run down my face until I felt it drop on my leg and he had a few tears too.

"Hey" I said

"I am alright I can walk I am fine but my body still hurts a little." I said again

he kissed me and I kissed back

"I am so sorry that happened to you Zoey."

I kissed him, and he kissed back. He whipped my tears and I did the same to him.

"At least I have you" He said with a caring voice.

I just smiled and hugged him. We watched a movie to kill the time when I looked at my phone and it was 6:30 and I told him I had to go get ready for our date. He agreed and did the same. I went downstairs and through the door and back to Grace and I's place. I used Grace 's straightener and straightened my hair.I threw on some skinny jeans and a blue shirt with some blue flats. It was 7:20 and I was ready so I just sat and waited for him to go through the door. When I heard a knock on the door my heart was filled with joy. I opened the door and it was Luke standing there with a rose.
