L U K E

she was lovely, oh the way her hair flowed in the wind. i wanted nothing but to be able to call her mine. she would be treated as if she was fragile, i wouldn't let anything harm her. she would be adored within every hour of everyday. i would spend all my time with her to let her know how much she meant to me. i would do anything for her. all i wanted was the small chance for all that to happen, i wanted her to look at me an fall as hard as i have when my eyes lock with hers. i wanted her to feel the love and affection i felt for her in just a small glance.

but the only glance i got from her was a glance of disgust, she would look at me if i was some weird experiment that went wrong. the feeling of her judgmental glares made me hate myself a little more than i already did. i have never felt so broken in my life, it was a feeling i never wanted to endure ever again but i seemed to endure it every day as i couldn't help but want to look at her. i could never deny myself the beauty that is her. if i ever got the ability to look away from her i don't know what i would do. it seemed to be an everyday thing as she was what made a smile on my face arise. i could never ditch that feeling no matter how much she was mad that i stared or how many times her big boyfriend would come over and threaten me. i just couldn't look away from her.

"you know she hates when you stare at her." i take a quick glance away from the beauty that is her to look and see Abbey.

"she never personally told me any of that."

"really, Luke! Her boyfriend threatens you how many times a day?" she questioned.

i started to think, there was that one day were he over reached the record of 10 times a day but i think it has grown over that amount so must likely in the mid 20's...maybe.

"what does that matter? he is just over protective, and scared she will leave him." i shrugged knowing that was the only answer to why he threatens me.

"you know Luke, for a boy you sure lay your guard down when you know what you want." i felt her pat my shoulder as she walked away.

i had a small urge in me to yell for her to come back but my eyes couldn't drift away from the beauty that was a good distance away from me. focusing back on her my eyes drifted to a pair of piercing eyes as they stared at me.

"shit!" i muttered quickly grabbing my stuff and rushing off.

i didn't want another threat or even for him to act onto one of them. I just wanted so badly to hold that beauty in my arms as she fell into a slumber. Walking home I kept looking behind me not wanting to see that bulky figure walking angrily towards me once more. Looking up saw abbey, her back towards the fence that separates her yard from mine. Her voice was slightly loud but in a whisper as she spoke. I didn't want to listen in onto her conversation but as my name was spoken I couldn't help but listen in.

"Luke was drooling over her again today.."

"Abbey, why do you pay attention to all that?"

I quietly leaned against the fence separating us as she spoke to what sounded to be her brother, Ashton. I waited for her reply to his question. Is there something laced in abbey's attention towards my action that is farther from a friend?

Before the questions could link more in my jumbled thoughts her soft voice spoke up. "I don't know Ash I don't know. Maybe I strive for the attention he gives her. Like this boy puts his life in the line for her. No matter how many times he gets threatened he is back at it the next day. There is just something about that desire that makes me want to be in her shoes."

I was speechless, soundless. Abbey never seemed to be the kind of girl that wanted attention. She has always made herself seem off limits to others. Her heartbreak list is longer than anyone's that I know. There isn't one guy that had reached the point of their lives that got to call her theirs. But it all makes sense now, her catching me and pulling from all my gazes. She wanted my attention. She wanted me to place my attention on her. My mind races as her brother speaks. Nothing he says I understand, nor want to at this point. I only wanted to hear her words and responses.

But Abbey was quiet. She didn't speak as I knew she was pondering whatever her brother had said. There was a point that I promised myself I would never look away from the beauty I stare at day by day. I promised myself that was the girl that I dreamed of having each day of my life. Maybe I was mistaken. I was taken in by a beauty in the world and forced myself to only focus on her. But yet the world around me has something just a little bit more exciting to peruse. And the best thing was she was just over the fence.
