The Ginger Boy Next Door. (A Luke Cutforth Story)

Beach

Olivia's POV

Luke and I just finished breakfast. "So, what do you have planned for us today?" I said smiling. "The beach!" He yelled. "Are your parents going to be there?" I asked. "No, but some of my youtube friends are going to be there. They flew down for holiday" Luke said smiling at me. "B-but my scars..." I said sadly. "Come here..." Luke said and hugged me. "If anybody has a problem with them, I will beat the absolute shit out of them." Luke said bravely making me giggle a little. "Why don't you go get ready?" Luke said and I nodded and went to my suit case.

I picked out my white and black bikini, black high-waisted shorts, and my white cardigan. I went into the bathroom and got changed and put my hair up in a messy bun. I grabbed my black and white each bag that says "Beaches Be Crazy" on it. I put my sunglasses, towels, and some sun block in it. "I'm ready Luke!" I said as I slipped on my black flip flops.

"Okay! Let's roll!" Luke yelled and grabbed his keys. We left the hotel and got into the car. "Which friends am I meeting?" I asked. "Alfie, Zoella, Patty and Dottie." Luke said to me. "When did Patty fly down?" I asked. "He flew down 3 days ago with Dottie." He said focusing on the road. "Oh, cool." I said and looked out my window.

Maybe I just won't go swimming. I don't want anybody seeing my scars. They will get the wrong idea. They won't like me. But they like Luke...No, they only like him because he got over it. I'm still cutting. Patty knows, the last time I saw him was when I was bleeding from my wrists. I felt Luke grab my hand.

"Olivia, I know what you're thinking about. Please don't worry babe. They won't think less of you if they see your scars." Luke said still focusing on driving. "Thanks Luke, I needed that." I said smiling a little. "We can leave whenever you want to, okay?" Luke said sweetly. "Okay, thank you Luke. I love you." I said. "I love you too." Luke replied and kissed my hand.

We just got to the beach. I got the bag and Luke got the cooler. It was a very lovely day. Not windy and not too hot. I laid down my towel and took off my shorts. I put on my sun glasses and got out the sun block. Luke took off his shirt. Damn, he is quite fit. "Like what you see?" Luke said winking at me. "Actually, yes, I do." I said winking back. I put on some sun screen and helped Luke because he was too lazy.

"LUKE!" I heard somebody yell. I turned around and saw Patty and 3 other people. "Patttty!" Luke yelled and ran up to Patty and the other people. They all talked for a little and then walked over to me. "Olivia this is Zoe and Alfie." Luke said pointing to a guy with short brown hair and a forming beard and a girl with brown and blonde hair who was flawless. "Hi." I said quietly while waving. "And this is Patty's girlfriend, Dottie." Luke said pointing to a very pretty girl with long brown hair. We made eye contact and she gave me a little bit of a dirty look. (Just saying now, I have nothing against Dottie:D) "um, hey." I said and stood up so I didn't feel so small. "Now that everybody is introduced let's go have some fuuuun!" Patty yelled.

Zoe and Dottie took off their shorts and tank tops to reveal basically perfect bodies. Perfect curves, flat stomachs, no scars, just perfection. Everybody went directly to the water, except me. I sat back down and hid my torso in my cardigan. At this point I had zero self-confidence. I didn't have perfect curves or a flat stomach and I definitely had scars. I had an imperfect body.

"Are you going to come in or what?" I heard somebody say. I looked up and to my surprise it was Dottie. "I-I'm good here." I stuttered. "No come on!" She said and started pulling at my cardigan. "Please don't!" I said but it was too late. The cardigan had come off and my scars were revealed. "W-what happened to your arms?" Dottie said shocked. "T-they're nothing you need to worry about." I said. "Wow, what an attention whore." Dottie said and ran off to the water. I just sat on my towel ready to cry. I let a few tears escape. Now, I really wanted to do the one thing I usually do when I was upset. Cut. I need to.

I got up and put my cardigan back on. I grabbed my bag and went off to the car. I know this was risky and somebody could see. But I have to. I just, need to. I rushed to the car and unlocked it. I got in on the passenger side and I started bawling. I took off my phone case and shakily took the razor I hid in the back. I held it between my thumb and index finger and just stared t it. I started to bawl again.

I know it's weird but I heard Luke's voice in my head. "Don't do it babe, you're stoner than this. Please you're beautiful." I herd his voice repeat in my head. I slowly calmed down an just sat in the car for a few minutes. "Who the fuck does Dottie think she is...I'm beautiful and I shouldn't be ashamed." I thought to myself. I put the razor back in my phone case.

I got out of the car and locked it. I then headed back out to the towels. I put my cardigan in my bag and then went out to everybody. "Hey guys." I said with confidence. For once in a long time I spoke with confidence. "Hey babe." Luke came up and hugged me. "I told you that you can do it. You and your scars are beautiful and I don't give a fuck about what anybody else thinks. I love you." Luke whispered into my ear. "I love you too Luke." I whispered sweetly back.
