We didn’t go over to Petula straight away, we didn’t know what to do. We stood there in shock when Kyle began full on hitting Petula. I had no idea what I was doing but I just ran over, so did Jai. Kyle ran off when we saw her and Jai rung Luke.
‘What was all that about? Why did he hit you? He shouldn’t of done that, no excuse.’ I threw all these questions at her.
‘It was my fault. I deserved it.’ She cried.
‘Are you still together?’ I questioned.
‘Yeah, stuff like this always happens. We’ll be fine.’
‘WHAT!? Does Luke know?’ I began rasing my voice as I was stunned at what I had just heard. No girl deserves to be hit by any boy once let alone all the time.
‘Nope. Nobody knows. Whenever me and Kyle argue I tell Luke but I never tell him he hits me. He would go after Kyle. I
can’t let Luke do that. I love Kyle’
Jai just got off the phone and told us Luke was coming over. By now the bruises on Petula were slightly visible.
‘Luke is coming over now on his own.’ Jai spoke up.
‘No. You can’t tell him about Kyle. Please promise me you won’t. Just say I walked into something. Please give me time to tell him’ She cried.
‘Fine, but you can’t let Kyle keep hurting you.’ I hugged her.
Luke was running over and saw Petula crying. He took her into his arms and walked her home. Me and Jai decided to go home too. He walked me home and kissed me goodbye. I just got straight into bed and fell asleep after that.
-Petulas point of view-
I didn’t know what to say to Luke. I always had covered up the bruises Kyle had left. We’d been going out almost a year.
I loved him. He didn’t ever hit me before. It was just over the past 3months. I told myself it was just a phase. I didn’t
want to break up with Kyle. I didn’t want to be alone. I know I have my best friend but Luke will have a girlfiend soon
and I will be irrelevant to him. He always is telling me about this pretty girl he likes but he hasn’t told her yet although
he’s liked her for over a year now. Nobody ever knew this but I’ve always had a crush on Luke. I never wanted to tell him because we were suppose to be best friends, I didn’t want to ruin that. When he told me he liked some girl I was jealous and when Kyle asked me out I said yes because I thought he’d help me get over Luke. Yeah now I loved Kyle but i’m in love with Luke.
Walking home with Luke was nice. He never made me tell him everything straight away. My parents were gone for the weekend so he stayed round. He got me some ice for my bruises and took me to bed. Whenever he stayed round he just stayed in my bed and we fell asleep together. He hugged me around my waist, kissed my forehead. Whenever he hugged me I felt like the most important girl in the world.
