Explaining all her scars

    *Luke*

        "Alex, you have it wrong here, we're just friends. As much as I like her, I want to help her get Jack back. She's tried so hard, I want her to have him, but when he breaks her heart, I'll be right there helping her pick the pieces back up, and IF only if she wants to be together, I would love that, but I would settle for being her best friend any day. Alex she deserves all the help she can get, we tore down her life, caused those scars, probably destroyed who she is on the inside too, I want to help her first. She is beautiful, she's not like those other tramps at our school. She wears makeup, but it's not piled on, she doesn't wear skin tight boob showing shirts. Sure, her shirt shows some every now and then, but it's not intentional. She's not some sport guru, but loves music. So what we did, is follow Jack's lead. We didn't get to know her at all. For fuck's sake I sat next to her everyday, worked with her and I still teased her mercilessly. I saw the tears in pain in her eyes, and I still didn't stop do you know how bad that makes me feel? Knowing that every single word I uttered is a lie? That we made her believe all of it, just because we listened to some dumbass instead of actually trying to get to know her. I want to cry looking around this room because IT IS ALL OUR FUCKING FAULT! EVERY SINGLE LAST OUNCE OF PAIN! LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE DONE! IS IT WORTH IT? IS IT WORTH BEING FRIENDS WITH SOME CARELESS ASSHOLE WHO LIES ABOUT PEOPLE TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT HIMSELF? If so, just leave Alex. Pretend you didn't see all of this or hear it all." Luke said, wiping his eyes and looking down at his favorite person.

      "Luke? What's going on? Why are you yelling?" Sam asked sleepily. Wiping her eyes, she rolled out of bed and wrapped her arms around Luke's waist. "Luke? Will you come lay with me please?"

      "Nothing is going on Sam, Alex is just hanging out, and of course I will baby, that's what I'm here for. How about you go put on your pajamas and take off your make up and I'll go lay down in bed okay sweetie? Alex will help you." Luke said, and laid down in Sam's bed, wondering how he managed to hurt such an amazing girl.

    *Sam*

      Asking Luke to lay down with her was a risky chance, but he knew it was worth it. She was sure laying with him would make the nightmares, go away and make her feel safe.

      "Hey Sam? Do you think it would be okay to sleep on your rocking chair, and after we wake up from our nap, me and Luke could get grab your stuff and we could stay at his house? I understand if you don't want to, I just thought it would be a great way to help you, and for us to protect you." Alex said looking down at his hands.

      Sam took a deep breathe and said, "Yeah Alex, that sounds great, why don't we go now, I'm just hoping I won't regret trusting you two. Now let's go pack my bags." With that, she left the bathroom and got started on packing for her new life.
