Does he really care?

who is downstairs

We woke up the next morning and all the police were still in and around the house, the police called a repairman to fix it. A police officer walks up to us,

"I notice that you guys have security cameras. Do you happen to have footage from last night?"

"Oh uh yea we have the footage downstairs on the monitors," I say

We all go to the office and check the monitors, the police look at them and see if anyone has outstanding trespassing records.

"Well, we will take these videos back to the station and check them out for you," One of the officers says.

We walk them outside and they get into their cars and drive away, I lock the door behind the last cop.

"Freaking finally," I say throwing myself onto the couch 

"At least the window is fixed," Sage says 

"Sage, don't you have a date today?" I ask her 

"OH SHOOT I FORGOT!!" She exclaims running upstairs

  I laughed as she bolts up the stairs, Luke was in the kitchen making himself breakfast so I turned on the TV. I start watching The Simpsons and go on my phone, Luke comes and sits with me and we both watch TV for hours. 

-5 hrs later-
Yup, we are still watching TV. 

"Ok guys I think I'm ready," Sage says as she's walking down the stairs. 

I look over at her and she has her hair down and is wearing a good amount of makeup. She's wearing a plain black dress with blue heels. 

"Oh my gosh Sage you look amazing!!" I say getting up.

"Thank you!" She says 

She leaves with Liek leaving me and Luke in the house. 

"Luke I'm gonna go lay in your bed," I say going upstairs.

"Wait for me!!" He yells following me.

We lay in Lukes's bed and we just cuddle in his bed for hours. 

We hear Sage come in the door and go to her room, we leave her and end up falling asleep. Even though it's only 9:15 pm 

I wake up in like the middle of the night, Luke is fast asleep on the other side of the bed. I get up and go downstairs, surprisingly I'm really hungry like extremely hungry. So walking into the kitchen I turn on the lights and was surprised at what I saw. 

My mom was in the kitchen, with a beat-up face it looks like she had been crying. 

"Dakota I came to apologize" She starts 

"Don't even start with me," I hiss.

"I'm sorry I didn't believe you, I thought your dad was so much different. But he has changed while I was gone and I had no idea,"  She cries.

"Yea I'm aware, now get out this isn't your house," I mutter.

"Can't I stay for a while, and meet your friends," She asks.

"No, you cannot, you need to leave now," I state.

She gets up and looks at me one last time, before exiting the house. I follow her to the door and slam it in her face, I watch her car disappear down the road before turning back around. I walk back into the kitchen and heat some leftover pizza we had. 

"Why are you awake?" A groggy voice says

I turn around and see Luke, "I got hungry." 

"You got hungry?" He asked shocked as his eyes lit up.

"Yea I did," I laughed,

Luke pours himself a glass of water and sits down next to me. 

"Did you leave the house, I heard the door open?" He asked chugging the water.

"No, I heard someone outside so I went to check," I lied.

"Yea um babe that's not the smartest idea," He said. 

"I guess not," I laughed and continued eating. 

"I'm going to head back to bed, you gonna come too?" He asked getting up.

"No I'm good," I say staring blankly at the wall.

He turns me around in the chair, "I love you, Dakota," He says before kissing me on the forehead.

"Love you too Luke," I said 

He goes up the stairs and I hear his bedroom door close, I walk up into my room and open the closet door. I pull out a small box that consists of some memories with my parents, I pull out some of my first airplane tickets and hotel room keys, and I saw some jewelry and small baby shoes. The memories of my parents come rushing into my head and it's all too much for me. My eyes go blurry with tears and I'm having a hard time breathing rushing into Luke's room I burst through the door.

"Luke," I barely get out 

He sits up straight in his bed and looks at me, 

"What's wrong?" He asks scratching his head

"I don't know I can't breathe," I say hyperventilating 

He comes over to me and leads me over to his bed.

"Hey, it's ok, what happened?" He asked 

"I was looking through my memory box, and all of a sudden I couldn't breathe," I said sobbing.

"Hey it's ok it is probably just a panic attack, just try and relax," He said.

"What the hell does that mean?" I question freaking out.

"Nothing, it's nothing just calm down," He said rubbing my back. 

I stand in between his legs as he sits on the edge of the bed. I take deep breaths and try to control my tears.

"Are you feeling better?" Luke asks.

"Yea, I don't know what happened," I admit.

"It's ok, you were overwhelmed," He says.

I start to walk away from the bed until Luke pulls me back,

"Yea you are staying with me now," He says dragging me onto the bed.

"Ok fine," I respond getting into the blankets.

He turns facing toward me and kisses me on the forehead.

"Are you sure nothing else happened?" He asks.

"No," I say calmly. 

He scrunches up his face, "What else happened?" 

"My mom was in the kitchen when I went downstairs," I admit. 

I feel his body go tense against me.

"It's ok, I made her get out," I say. 

"What did she tell you?" He asked. 

"She apologized for not believing me before about my dad, and she asked if she could stay. I said no and forced her out," I said.

"Ok that's fine for now, I guess I'm checking all the windows and doors tomorrow, how'd she even get in?" He asked. 

"I have no idea," I said yawning. 

He kisses me goodnight and we both fall asleep hugging each other tightly.
