I'm Sorry

I grab a granola bar out of the pantry. "What will life be like tomorrow?" I sigh. "God only knows." Luke says. "Any plans for tomorrow? You know since it'll be Friday tomorrow." I say sitting next to Luke on the couch. "You know... we could always just go out for some food right now." Luke smiles. "Like right now?" I ask. "Yea. We could just go out to the diner." He says. "Well let's go." I say standing up. I go upstairs to put some clothes on and so does Luke.

...

We get to the diner. "I've never been here before." I say staring at the appearance of the place. "That's because it's far from where we live." Luke giggles and gets out of the car. "Ok." I say to myself. Luke opens my door and I get out.

We enter the diner. Luke and I head over to a table. "Do you want to start ordering?" He asks. "Of course." I giggle. "I'm just gonna get some fries and a cheeseburger with a soda." Luke says. "I guess I'll get the same thing, except I don't want any soda. What other drinks do they have?" I ask. "They have lemonade, milkshakes, and some other crap." He says. "I'll just get a chocolate milkshake." I say."Alright well let's order then." Luke says.

A waitress comes up to us. "Are you guys ready to order?" She asks with a sweet voice. "Yes." I say. "We'll get some large fries and a cheeseburger." Luke says. "Any drinks?" She asks. "Yea. I'll get a Pepsi and this beautiful lady right will get a chocolate milkshake." Luke says smiling at me. "Okay. Your food will be ready in about twenty minutes." She smiles and leaves.

"Thanks for that compliment." I smile. "You don't need to say thanks. I have to compliment you." He smiles. "Well then." I smile. "Why are you sitting across from me again? It seems colder without you." Luke says shivering. "Okay. I'll sit by you so you don't freeze to death." I giggle sitting next to Luke. "It just got one-hundred degrees hotter." Luke smirks. "Shut up." I say playfully nudging Luke's arm.

...

Our food is finally ready. "Great. I was so hungry." Luke says. "You ate ice cream about fifteen minutes ago." I say. "You already know how big my appetite is." Luke says stealing a couple of fries off of my plate. "No fair! You have almost more fries than me." I say. "I was just messing around. You can take some of my fries." Luke smiles. I take some of his fries and then I start eating my own food. "So tomorrow, we could probably go to the beach early morning again." Luke says. "Sounds like a plan." I smile. I continue to eat my food until I see this guy from school walk in with his group of friends. His name is Ashton. Ashton isn't the nicest guy. He picks on Luke a lot. "Well well well, look at Luke with his girl." He says coming up to our table. "Suck my ass." Luke says. "Look at Luke acting tough." Ashton teases. "Shut the hell up." Luke says under his breath. "Excuse me?" Ashton asks. "I said shut the hell up! Stop harassing me and get a fucking life!" Luke spits. "You better watch your back Hemmings!" Ashton yells. Luke has a look on his face to the point where he's done with this. Luke stands up and punches Ashton in the face. "Luke!" I yell grabbing his arm. Luke takes out his money and slams it on the table. We leave.

"Luke, what was that for?!" I yell once we get in the car. Luke immediately breaks down and starts punching his steering wheel. "Calm down." I say touching Luke's hand. He turns his head quickly and stares at me with his red eyes with tears. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Luke says. "I know you're sorry. It just scared me. I've never seen this side of you in a long time." I say. "I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm sorry if you feel offended because the same thing happened to you. I'm sorry." He cries.

*Flashback 2011*

I can't wait to go sneak to school at night with Luke. This will be fun.

...

I hear a knock on my door. "Coming!" I yell from upstairs. I race to the door and I see Luke standing in front of me smiling. "Hey Luke." I say awkwardly. "Hey Rach. Are you ready to go?" Luke asks. "Yea. Hopefully we don't get caught." I smile. Luke takes my hand and we walk to the school. My heart races while he holds my hand. I try to calm myself. "So... how's life been lately?" I ask trying to make a conversation with Luke. "It's been good. What about you?" He asks me. "Good." I smile.
