Chances

Chapter 4

Rachel's P.O.V:

Finally it was the weekend and that's when my mum had work, so I invited Luke over. Just to talk. So I rung him and he picked up on the first ring.

"Hey Rachel?" He said

"Um hey, I was just wondering if you wanna come over? No ones home and I'm feeling kinda lonely" I say biting my lip.

"Oh okay, sure see you soon"

Less than 3 minutes later Luke came knocking on my door

He greeted me with a smile and put his bag on the floor

"Rachel," he said sitting on the floor

"Are you okay?"

I sat next to him and shook my head. He didn't know me for long and now he knows me well enough to tell something was wrong

"Luke, you know almost everything about me. But I know nothing about you. You've built your walls so high." I wanted to cry. I felt my throat tightening but I couldn't cry. Not now.

"Rachel... You know I can't tell you."

"Why not? Why don't you trust me? Why don't you trust anyone?" I said biting my cheek to stop tears spilling from my eyes.

"I do trust you. But if I tell you, you may not even want to see me anymore" his voice sounded like he was trying not to yell.

I get up walking to my room and grab my backpack. When I come back he has his head in his hands.

This made my tears spill.

He looks up as I fill my bag with all my essentials that I'll need for a day.

"What are you doing?" He asks walking over to me.

But I don't know what I'm doing myself. I need to clear my head.

"Do you really think I would leave if you told me your past!?"I yell

"Hey, hey calm down" he said quietly.

What was happening? Why was I feeling dizzy?

He pulled me into a hug and his warmth comforted me.

But this was all wrong.

Because I couldn't see anything but black.
