LUKE'S POV :
I napped through the ride and I woke up, I assume, three hours later? Judging by the sunset, it must be 7pm or something. It was already dark.
The car was parked somewhere in a street I haven't been to before. There was a hotel at the end of the road and a bar right next to it. The street was lit up by one streetlight lamp that was flickering. This place would be totally awesome for murders. Oh shit.
"Hey Lukey." I heard him say. Fuck he's still in the car. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Why do you hate me? I basically saved your life! No 'Thanks' no nothing?" He raised his voice a little bit at the end if his sentence. "Oh that's it! Why did you save my life? And why would some people want me dead? I am just a normal college boy for fuck's sake! What did I do wrong?" I yelled at him. I feel guilty; I shouldn't have turned up my voice. You know why I felt this way? It’s because Ashton seems like that kind of person that wouldn’t lie to you. His eyes are telling me this. But hey, everything is not what it seems. He could kill or rape me in any second and I'm worried. I still don't trust him. But there's something in his bright hazel eyes that's making me believe him. His eyes are really absorbing if you get closer to them.
He sighed and said shaking "L-Luke, don't freak out, but I'm gonna tell you something r-really important." "Yeah, and what is it? Go on, FUCKING TELL ME." I ordered. He looked at me and there was....fear? In his eyes? I guess? Why would he be afraid of me? Ugh, I really can't hold it but I shouldn't have yelled, again.
"It's your father, Luke." Here it goes again. "The one that hated me and left my mom with 3 kids raising them by her own, when she needed someone, no he's not my dad." I hissed, crossing my arms. Ashton sighed and continued "He's dead, Luke." well, if he's dead than okay. He was useless anyway. I made a 'I don't give a flying shit' look then joined my hands together and clapped loudly. "And do I look like I fucking care? He LEFT us. He HURT us. He nearly killed my mom. Thank god he's gone." The curly haired beauty beside me rolled his eyes and nodded. "Well, er, your 'dad', uh, he left you something, uh, to pay." No fucking way. "And let me guess, if I don't pay back you'll murder me and my whole family..... If they aren't dead yet." I said crossing my arms again. I noticed him sneaking a look at my muscles as he bit his bottom lip gently. He looked hot. Very hot. Really hot. His hair was in a cute little mess, which made me want to run my fingers through them. Goddamit Luke this is not the moment to start wondering things. He looked at me and locked our eyes, for a swift second.
"Luke I won't hurt, kill, or rape you! I'm here to protect you from them alright?" He yelled/whispered. I raised one eyebrow. "Them?" He sighed and put his hand on my shoulder. I felt a shiver going through my whole body just as he touched me. How can this boy be so affective? “Them.” “And who the hell are ‘Them’?” He sighed and maintained eye contact between us "Them, They’re a secret drug dealing government going on through the whole world, they forced me to work with them and that’s what I’m doing right now. But I’m not really working; I’m faking this shit so I won’t do anything because I don’t want to hurt anyone.” He removed his hand from my shoulder, and put it on my knee. I let out a small gasp, barely audible for myself.
“And why should I believe you?” I asked. He took out his wallet from his pocket and pulled out a picture of a man. “This guy, he’s my dad. They killed him while I was still in my mom’s womb. My mom warned me about everything they do while I was a kid, and then when I turned 7, they took me away from my mom, I haven’t seen her since that day. She’s probably dead by now…” He looked down; tears were appearing in his eyes. This sight was heartbreaking. He took a deep breath and looked back at me. His tears were more noticeable than ever. "Look, Luke, they know you're with me, they're after me. So I'll be asking you ONE favor, and it'll be for your good, and my good. So…” He took another huge breath then finished his sentence by words I wasn’t expecting.
“Run away with me?"
