Ch. 29

| Luke's pov |

I start walking home as Noreen heads the other way. We needed this time away from each other, I can't bare to hurt her again. I could've killed her today and that makes me feel terrible. I say I love her, I say I care about her, but then how could I almost kill her if I love her so much? It doesn't make sense, I thought that even with this demon I could learn to not hurt the ones I truly care about. But if that was true, I wouldn't have hurt Ashton, I wouldn't have hurt Noreen. I arrive at my front door and it takes me a while to actually open it. My parents and I are back to not talking to each other. It's been hard, they can't even look at me now and as I look through the window, they're having dinner without me.

I open the door and I go straight up to my room, quite frankly, I didn't want to look at them either. I lock my door and lay down, I just can't take it anymore. Maybe Noreen and I need a break, or maybe we just need to break up.

Four weeks later;

Noreen sits on the other side of the classroom in History today. She doesn't even bother to look at me. I don't know what to say to her, I knew how I would feel if we broke up, I just wonder how she would feel. But I say nothing to her as we walk pass each other in the hallway. I know she's angry with me, all she wants is to go to prom with me, but I just want to stay away from everyone. She goes home with Calum and as I walk out the building someone grabs my shoulder. I turn around and it's Michael.

"Hey..." he says.

"Hey," I say.

There's a moment of silence and I'm debating on wether I should walk away or stay.

"Um so, how's Noreen, how are you?" He asks.

I sigh, I didn't want to talk about her but I guess he deserved to know something.

"She asked about prom, and I'm just carrying on," I answer.

Michael and I start walking to his car. I get inside but we don't leave the parking lot. He looks at me like he's lost at words then looks out the window.

"How did she ask? Was she excited?" He asks.

"Not really, it was casual, why? Something happened while I was gone?"

Michael shakes his head and he rubs his hands together then he smiles. He looks at me and I'm confused on what he has in mind. When Michael gets that little glee in his eyes I know he has something planned that I would never do. He starts driving but I don't ask him questions. I just sit back and look out the window. Prom is in two days and I haven't talked to Noreen about it at all. I don't want to just ignore her and leave her there alone but I don't want to go. Michael stops in front of a drug store and he nudges me.

"Why are we here?" I finally ask, I've been meaning to ask him questions for a while.

"Prom...Noreen...I can't believe you didn't put the pieces together," Michael says.

I sigh, but then I finally realize what he's talking about. Oh god Michael. I don't think I'm ready, and I don't think Noreen is either. She wanted it to he special and I don't think prom is that special. We haven't even seen each other in weeks and I'm getting worse, the last thing on her mind is sleeping with a monster like me. If I ever talk to her again, will the spark still be there?

"Michael it's not worth it. We basically broke up," I say.

Michael doesn't listen and gets out the car anyway. I follow him and he goes straight to where the condoms are. I look around and I know my mom would kill me if she ever saw me here. But if me and Noreen were going to do it I could try to get my parents out of town for the next two days.
