100 Days || Luke Hemmings

Day 10 (Still I know)

Soon enough, we were parked in front of the store sitting in silence. Luke looked out the front window with one hand on the steering wheel. He didn't look away when he asked me

"So why did you run away that night?"

*Eloise's p.o.v*

I stayed silent. My mind was racing. How could I answer that? I couldn't exactly tell him my whole life story, especially since I had just met him.

"Well I think I'm just gonna get back to wor-"

"Stop changing the subject, Eloise." He replied in a calm voice. He wasn't angry as I thought he would be, which was a good thing. His gaze hadn't shifted from in front of him until now when he looked into my eyes. It was like he was looking into my soul.

I broke away and looked through the window. He seemed like a nice enough guy, and the complete opposite to Ryan. Although Ryan seemed like a great guy when we first met.

When me and Ryan started dating, everything was great. We were just a normal couple. It all went downhill when his mother was killed in a car accident. His dad left when he was 3, and he was very close to his mum. I don't think he really got over her death as he would go out every night and come home later and later.

The abuse only started about a month after his mums death. It was when one night I told him is had enough of him going out every night and me being sat worried about him. In his eyes, that deserved a slap. He immediately apologised and said that it would never happen again, but he broke those promises the next evening.

There was something inside of me wanting to tell Luke about everything. I had no idea why, but I just did. He seemed like someone who wouldnt judge me for my past, and would understand.

I shook the thoughts free from my mind. What was I thinking? Of course I couldn't tell him. He would probably run away scared with the amount of baggage I carry with me.

"Look Luke, I know your only trying to help, but I have a fucked up past which I can't even begin to tell you about. I will tell you one thing though, and it's that I move a lot. Every 100 days to be exact, well 90 now. I don't stay for anybody not will I ever. I would strongly advise not become my friend, because I will just leave you. And goodbyes are the hardest things to do."
