Liberty Jones
I wanted to feel good. Not about myself in particularly but in general. I didn't want to feel, that's the type of good I wanted. Luke climbed on top of me.
"Try this, it'll do wonders to you" he said placing the pill in between my lips. I opened my mouth and let it fall in. It dissolved quickly. Luke popped one in and laid next to me.
"You know I love you" he says and I nod nuzzling into his neck. I knew he loved me but I just didn't know if I loved him back. The only person I ever loved was my mother but she died.
I'm afraid it was my fault. I'm afraid that if I fall for Luke the way he did to me he'd die too. Luke didn't know I was messing around with other boys. If he did he'd kill them, maybe not literally but he'd definitely beat the shit out of them.
The best way not to get your heart broken is to pretend you don't have one. Luke was a known drug dealer and everyone was scared of him. I wasn't I saw right through his bad act.
It seemed like everyone knew about us but no one really did. No one really gossiped out of our town. If anyone found out about us I'd sure be taken if Luke ever screwed up.
"Do you feel it yet?" He questions me and my head felt heavy as I moved it to look at him. "Yes" I managed to get out and that's when I knocked.
"Liberty" "Lib" "wake up" I notice my dad by my bed side shaking me. He had my coat ready in his hand along with my sneakers. "We need to head to the hospital. Mommy isn't doing so well" he tells me. I lift my body up quickly. My mother was supposed to be coming home in a week. I guess she wouldn't be now.
When we got to the hospital we ran straight to the room where there were two doctors awaiting. My mother was sleeping. She was always sleeping when I came to visit. The doctors dragged my father out of the room while I went to my mothers bedside.
I called out her name twice and ended up trying to shake her. She wouldn't budge. "Wake up mommy" I tell her watching her body fling to the side every shove I gave. "Wake up now" I tell her and my dad rushes to my side.
"Liberty, she's gone. Mommy's dead. We have to say our goodbyes" he hushes me and I slap him. "She's not dead ! She's just sleeping! " I shout at him and counting to hit at him.
"Lib!" "Liberty!" "Liberty wake up!" and that's when I jolt awake. My head was pounding and I groan because of how fast I got up. "What the hell luke" I snap. Way to ruin a freaking good high. "I thought you were dead" he says as he lays back down breathing heavily.
