Lost

Chapter 6

Lucy woke up to the sound of someone knocking loudly on her door. She climbed out of her bed and stumbled to the door. She wasn't sure who she was expecting to be on the other side but was completely shocked when Harry slumped onto her shoulder. She leapt back and he fell onto the floor. His eyes were red, from tears or drink she wasn't sure. His hair was messy and knotted. His fingers were dirty and the cracked skin split as they cushioned his fall.

"Harry?" She whispered cautiously.

"Lucy" he groaned.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry Lucy. I am. I'm so sorry for what I did. I love you. Please forgive me."

Lucy was shocked this was the only time he had said those words. Love. Did he? Could she forgive him?

"I um I don't know Harry. You hurt me beyond fixing." Lucy whispered.

"And I'm sorry okay? Just accept my apology like you always do. Then come back to my place and we can have some fun." His eyes were dark and he was no longer on the floor. She gulped. This Harry scared her. This Harry hurt her. He stumbled towards me and grabbed her waist. He moved his head in closer and she felt his sort hair brush against my face. Lucy was really scared.

"I know you missed me babe" He said and he squeezed her waist tight. She wimpered.

"Harry leave me alone please" Lucy begged him. No realising until now that tears were pouring down her face. He pulled back a bit. But didn't release his tight grip on Lucy's waist, she could feel his nails digging into here, piercing her skin.

"Luke" she whispered so quietly Harry wouldn't hear.

"Where are you Luke please rescue me" Lucy sobbed.

It was fate that at that moment he should appear at her door. Or maybe she was hallucinating. Lucy's head felt heavy as she watched Luke's face screw up in anger. He ran at Harry. His fist connected with Harry's jaw and Harry stumbled backwards and fell onto the floor. Lucy collapsed in a heap but Luke picked her up instantly. He laid her on the sofa and walked back over to Harry. He kicked Harry's nose until he heard it smash. He dragged him out of the apartment and laid him down in the corridor unconscious. He ran back inside for Lucy. He picked her up and carried her bridal style to his car. He drove her to his apartment. where he laid her down on his bed. Nothing was said during all this.

After a long sleep and lots of glasses of water Lucy felt better. She opened her eyes to fine Luke asleep on the chair next to her. She smiled down at him and stroked his hair. He awoke instantly.

"Baby what happened? Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Luke Bombarded Lucy with questions.

"I am fine Baby I promise." She pushed her body up with her hands and winced in pain. She fell back on the bed. Luke's fave was dark and his expression unreadable.

"He hurt you" he spat. He moved towards Lucy and pulled the blankets that were covering her bruised legs. Luke lifted her up only to lay her back down after she cried out in pain. Tears brimmed in Luke's eyes.

"Baby it hurts so much to see you like this" His voice cracked and a tear rolled down his cheek.

Lucy reached up to stoke his face with her hands. She made it halfway but the pain became unbearable and she couldn't move. She couldn't even comfort Luke. Tears fell from Lucy's eyes. She beckoned for Luke to lie down with her. He rested his head on the pillow. They lay facing each other. There Lucy could stroke his cheek without feeling pain shoot through her body. Luke kissed her hand and they eventually fell asleep, enveloped in each other's embrace.
