Deep Secrets

After two hours of trying to look for Rachel, I decide to go to the beach and just clear my mind there.

...

I get to the beach and then I sit down on the sand with my feet in the water. "What the hell do I do now?! Rachel won't answer her phone and I can't find her anywhere." I say to myself. I look to my left and I see someone. I stand up and I walk over to the person. It's Rachel! "Rachel! I've been looking everywhere for you!" I say. She starts laughing. She has a bottle of whiskey next to her. "You're drunk." I say. She grabs the bottle but I take it and I throw it. "Why'd you do that?" She laughs. "C'mon, we need to go home." I say lifting her up. "You're cute." She giggles.

...

We get home and I go upstairs to lay Rachel in bed. "Where are you going?" She asks. "I'm just going downstairs for a second. You need to rest." I say. "I can't rest. You're no fun." She smiles. "Okay, what do you want to do then?" I ask closing the door. "I wanna be a little naughty." She smirks. "No. You need to rest." I say. "Rrrnnnnng!" She groans and plants her face in a pillow. I walk out the door so she can take a nap.

...

Rachel:

I wake up in a room. "What am I doing back here?" I ask myself looking around the room. "How did Luke find me?" I ask myself again. I go downstairs. "Hey." I say to Luke. "Hey." He says standing up. "So..." I begin to say. "Are you okay?" He asks. "Not really." I say. "Look Rach, I'm sorry for not telling you. I was just... scared to see your reaction." He says. "It wasn't your fault. It was her fault." I say. "Well I'm still sorry." He smiles. I walk over to him and I give him a hug. "How long was I asleep? And how did I fall asleep actually?" I ask. "Well, when you're drunk on a beach by yourself, someone has to get you. You also wanted to have sex with me." Luke says. "Oh. I guess that's what happens when I get drunk." I giggle. "I'll never let you go. Please don't scare me like that again." Luke says. "Okay." I smile. "Are we still going to the beach?" Luke asks. "Of course." I say.

Luke and I go upstairs. I sit on the bed. "So... do you know how to enroll into a new school or homeschool?" I ask. "Yea. Why would I say we would do that if I didn't know how to?" Luke says. "Oh." I say. "Rach, you don't need to worry about our escape or our move. I have everything under control." Luke says laying next to me holding my hand. "Okay." I smile. I get up to go downstairs to get some ice cream.

Once I get my ice cream, I go back upstairs. "Can I have some?" Luke asks. "Get your own." I giggle. Out of nowhere, Luke kisses me. "Mmm, tastes good." He says and bites his lip. "So you didn't want a spoon of ice cream?" I giggle. "I got some of you. Didn't I?" Luke smirks. I shrug and then I start laughing. "I'm gonna go to the store to get your own ice cream." I giggle. "Can I come with you?" He pouts. "I'm just gonna get ice cream." I smile. "You always say you'll get one thing from the store, but you always end up buying twenty-five things." Luke says. "Okay fine." I say. "Don't be so mad." Luke says hugging me.

We head into Luke's car and then we drive to the store.

...

"I'll go get a shopping cart." Luke says once we get out the car. "But we won't be buying that much stuff." I giggle. "I just like riding the carts, and besides, we'll probably buy lots of things." Luke smiles. "Okay five year old." I laugh. Luke gets a cart and we go and buy some things. "Umm... I'm gonna go to another aisle so stay here and look for some things." I say. "Okay." Luke says.

I walk to another aisle and I see Ashton. Oh god. What am I supposed to do. I need to get bread. I'm just gonna have to walk normally past him and hopefully he won't notice me. I walk quickly behind him but he sees me. "Hey Rachel." He says walking up to me. "Ashton, I don't want any trouble." I say. "I'm not here to harass you. Are you here alone?" He asks. "No. Why are you so concerned?" I ask. "No reason." He smiles staring into my eyes. "So... I'm just gonna grab this and go." I say picking up a loaf of bread. "Wait, before you go... I forgot to tell you how beautiful you look." He smiles. Oh. "Umm... I really don't have a respo-" Ashton cuts me off with a kiss. What do I do?! Oh my god! I have to tell Luke. But then he would be quite upset and he might do more than just punch Ashton in the face. Ashton ends the kiss. "S- sorry I just kind of... got a little caught up." He blushes. "Eh... erm... I- I have to go n-now." I stutter quickly walking away.
