Unforgotten

Chapter 6

+Luke's P.O.V+

My eyes have tears in them as I get to the hospital. I got a phone call saying my ex, Taylor Metz, had been admitted to the hospital. She got into a bad car accident according to her sister, Maya Metz. I know Elena would see it on social media and I know she would know that's why I left her. I probably made things worse but Taylor meant a lot to me and even though we aren't together now, I still care for her. As I entered the hospital room my heart broke at the sight of Taylor laying in the hospital bed. Her right arm is in a cast and she had a neck brace on. Maya ran up to me and hugged me as she cried.

"Luke it all happened so fast," she cried out as I noticed her left arm in a cast and bruises on her face.

"Are you okay?" I questioned and she nodded as she backed away and looked at me. 

"It's all my fault," she said and I shook my head.

"No, it's called an accident for a reason," I told her but she just shook her head.

"I saw a picture of you and a girl on Instagram and while she was driving I showed her causing her to swerve and roll. If I hadn't shown her that picture we would both be okay," she cried out causing my eyes to well up with tears. I knew that picture wouldn't lead to anything good. 

"Hey, it's okay," I said as I hugged her again, "everything will be okay," I whispered as I rubbed her back, letting her cry. 

"Luke?" I heard a voice question as I look over at Taylor, seeing she's awake.

"Taylor," I whispered as Maya stepped away from me and rushed over to her side.

"I'm so sorry Taylor," Maya cried out as Taylor shook her head.

"It's okay," she told her not taking her eyes off of me.

"So you're with someone now?" Taylor questioned causing me to shrug.

"We are gonna try it out, it's uh Elena," I told her. She knew everything that had happened between Elena and me because even when Taylor and I weren't together, she was a great friend and a good listener. 

"I'm happy for you," she whispered.

"I'm not sure if there will be anything between us though because I came right here and left her," I told her causing her to laugh.

"Luke, you need to seriously get it together," she said causing me to smile.

"I know but after hearing that I had to come to see you," I said causing her to shake her head.

"You've known her longer and I know you love her so don't ruin your relationship with her," she said causing me to look down.

"I know, but you mean a lot to me," I explained but she ignored me.

"No Luke, she means a lot to you so leave, go and be with her. I'm okay, I'll be fine. Text me and let me know you're okay and she is as well," she said. I walked over and hugged her.

"Thank you," I whispered into her and hugged Maya then left. See Taylor has always been so understanding and I love that part of her. I get into my car and drive quickly over to Elena's house.

Once I get there I knock on her apartment door. She opens it, sighing as she sees me. 

"I figured you weren't coming back," she mumbled as she looked down at her outfit which consisted of short shorts and a small tank top, her face turning red.

"It's okay, it's not like I haven't seen you in that before," I mumbled causing her to turn redder even more.

"Well come in," she says quietly as she steps aside. Behind her I see Micah watching tv and eating carrots. I smiled at him as I walked in.

"Luke!" Micah exclaims and comes running and hugging me.

"Hey buddy," I say as I pick him up.

"Micah you dropped some carrots," Elena groaned as she walked over and picked them up.

"Sorry," he mumbled as I set him down. 

"Luke," Elena started but sighed and shook her head, "never mind," she muttered.

"Micah why don't you go and watch some tv, your sister and I are gonna go talk in the kitchen," I told him and he nodded and went to sit on the couch. I grabbed Elena's hand and lead her to the kitchen. As we got into the kitchen I pulled her towards me and kissed her passionately. Elena wrapped her arms around my neck as I wrapped mine around her waist. She pulled her head away slightly and lent her forehead against mine. 

"Be mine," I whispered causing her eyes to shoot up and look into mine.

"W-What?" her soft voice questioned causing me to chuckle.

"You heard me, be mine Elena," I pleaded causing tears to come to her eyes.

"Yes," she whispered kissing me slowly. I pulled away and smiled at her.

"Of course we will go on dates and catch up since it's been a while but I like you a lot and I want to show you that I don't care what the media says about us," I whispered. Elena smiled at me and hugged me tightly. We went into the living room and sat next to Micah as we watched tv to together. Everything is going to work out I know it...
