Luke was running his fastest, not daring to look back, knowing that it would slow him down. He could hear their footsteps coming closer as they were pushing past people to get to him. "You can run but you can't hide, you know we'll find you!" the sound of his hearbeat growing louder and louder in his ears as he's slowly starting to run out of breath due to all the running.
All of a sudden he collided with someone. Luke, knowing this meant he was caught, got up muttering a quick "sorry" before turning to run futher, but the person grabbed a hold of his arm before he moved even an inch. "Hey, are you alright? Don't cry, what's wrong?" Luke hadn't realized he was crying until the unfamiliar boy told him not to, he quickly wiped the tears away but to no avail, new ones just kept coming. "I-I'm fine!" he mentally cursed himself for stuttering. "No you're not." "YES I AM! Now can you please let me go? I need to get away!" he screamed, making the stranger jump slightly out of shock, losing his grip on Luke's arm.
"Sorry, I just-" he was cut off by 5 guys pushing Luke into the lockers. "There you are, thought you could get away, did you?" "N-no, I.." Luke didn't know what to say, what could he say? He had quite obviously made a run for it. He glanced over at the stranger he ran into only seconds earlier. He looked confused, but when his eyes met Luke's they were full of pity.
He looked like a lost (& scared) kitten, and he couldn't understand why anyone ever would want to hurt such a gorgeous human being, so that's why when the 5 guys started punching and kicking Luke he snapped. "Hey! Get away from him!" he yelled, angrily. No response. He hit one of the guys in the head, trying to get their attention, and that certainly did it. "What do you think you're doing?" the biggest out of the 5 asked, he looked like he was the 'leader'. "I said get.away.from.him" the guys snickered, as Luke slowly opened his eyes to look at what was happening.
"And why would we do that?" "Because I said so." Luke watched as the stranger took a step closer, what is he doing? Those guys will tear him apart! "Just go..." he choked out, not wanting the stranger to get hurt because of him. "Yeah, you heard him Irwin; just go." another guy said, mimicking Luke's broken voice. "Why? You're too scared to fight someone who's capable of fighting back?" he sent a worried look towards the beat up boy that was lying on the floor before continuing.
"Here's what's gonna happen, you have two choices. You can pick option 1: leave right now and stop bothering the guy. Or you can pick option 2: Let me rearrange your faces and then leave him alone." Luke watched in awe as his attackers shared unsure glances before running away, same way as they came.
"Let's get you fixed up, yeah?" Luke snapped out of his trance, staring wide eyed at the boy in front of him. It wasn't until now that he noticed all the piercings and tattoos he had, scattered around on his body. "Wh-why did you do that?" he asked, not sure if he could trust him. What if he only wanted me to himself so he could beat me up? What if this is all a part of his plan to get me to trust him just so he can ruin me both physically and mentally?
"Hey, are you listening to me?" "Mm? Oh, uhh .. sorry" he giggled, yes, fucking giggled, before repeating himself. "I said; my name is Ashton, and you are?" Luke could have sworn that this stranger, Ashton, stole a piece of his heart when he laughed. "Uhh, I-I'm Luke." he tried to return the smile Ashton gave him, but knew that it wasn't anywhere near as nice as his. "Well Luke, I'd like to take you to the nurse and get you fixed up if that's okay with you, do you think you can walk?" he stood up, reaching his hand out for Luke to take, in case he needed it, which he did.
Now, on Luke's part, he might have lied about not being able to walk, just a tiny bit, as and excuse to hold Ashton's hand. But to his defence it was pretty much an angel he was talking to and how often do you get the chance to hold the hand of an angel?
Idk, I was bored and kinda just wrote this... I'm sorry that it's kinda short, but I didn't really know what to do with it.
So yeah... anyway, I might start updating again, I've wanted to start writing again but it's been a while so I'm really sorry if it's shitty, which it probably is. But yeah, hope you enjoyed it.
