Twdg | Luke and Nick | idk who to love...

Do you really...

"Cmon, lets get out of here," Luke said, and for a moment i actually believed he was going to hoist me up and carry me out of here on his back. Ha... Ha...

"You're not gonna try and help me?" I asked.

Luke rolled his eyes and held out a hand. "Cmon, princess, lets get outta here..."

We ended up running hand in hand, out the bushes. Wasn't exacly my idea of a romantic getaway, but hey im not comlaining. When we finally reached the street we were panting from being out of breath. Luke gave me a weird look before saying, "Um, you can let go of hand now..."

My hand dropped, along with my heart. Wow, i didn't realise rejection could hurt this much...

Luke just smiled before saying, "Only joking. Jeez, you take things so seriously..."

I just glared at him. I wasn't sure if he actually was joking. Maybe he was just saying it so my feelings wouldn't be hurt. Remember what Bonnie said, Remember what Bonnie...

Luke must've sensed this, as he frowned and grabbed my hand. "No, seriously, Ash. I really..."

"What?"

Luke suddenly looked suspicious. "Wait, wait, hold on... How'd you end up in there?"

Oh. There was that too...

"A certain guy called Carver, and his perverted friend Troy, cmon Luke, you don't need a detective to figure that out..."

Luke glared at me. "No, i meant, did make a deal with them or something?"

Oh jeez....

"Luke, he grabbed me and hoisted me in the air. And your friend had a knife. I didn't excaly plan to make him mad..."

Luke sighed, scratcing his head. "Fine, fine. Look, im sorry. I should've told ya sooner. I just didn't think you'd understand. I like you, Ash, I really do. I thought if I told you about Carver you'd run in the other direction. I mean, we ain't the easiest group to be with. We gotta be careful most of the time, keep our heads down y'know. And when you left this morning, Nick and I were distraught. Carlos was relived saying it was 'for the best" but the rest of us missed you, even Becca. Please Ash, come back."

I just stared at Luke until he went blurry. Inside I was melting like crazy, but I shrugged and said, "ain't like I've got anywhere else to go..."

Luke just smiled, "Well, welcome back. And we are glad to have you..."

"Well, i guess i should be heading back..." I said walking slowly away from Luke.

"Want me to walk ya home?" Luke asked. His eyes had this kind of glow I couldn't quite process.

"Yeah sure."

***

It was a very awkward walk if you ask me. Luke was looking the other way (he was closest to the road) while I silently hummed under my breath to try to ease the awkwardness. It didn't work.

After what seemed like forever, we finally reached my house.

"I'll um, I'll see you tomorrow." Luke said, rubbing the back of his head.

I couldn't let him go without asking a vital question. "Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"What did you mean by like?"

Luke leaning forward and kissed me, his lips soft. "That answer your question?"

"Yeah..." That was pretty much all I could say at this point...
