I slightly shifted opening my heavy eyes. feeling the most relief i ever had when i realised Luke was laying next to me. he was OK.

i didn't know how i fell asleep because i remembered clearly after i came back from hospital i was too worried about Luke to do anything like eat or sleep. But as i studied him more i realised how bruised up his face was, and the bandage on his forehead.

wait, when did this all happen? how did this happen to Luke? Unless for the time i was worrying about him not being here he went out and got hurt.

I breathed out snuggling into Luke's chest trying to sleep, But my leg was in pain. I kept moving around accidentally waking Luke. He looked at me with sleepy eyes.

"angel..are you okay?" Luke asked in a groggy voice. i swallowed and nodded.

"are you sure?" he asked.

"my leg hurts" i let out in a whine burying my face into his chest.

"Oh baby..don't worry we'll fix it up" Luke said putting his arms around me. he turned to the nightstand fiddling with things before he gestured for me to get off him. He got out of bed and walked around as i sat up.

"what are you doing?" i asked rubbing my eyes.

without saying anything Luke leaned into me suddenly picking me up bridal style being cautious of my leg. he walked out of my room to the kitchen turning on the lights, and propped me on the counter.

He walked around filling a glass with water and when he was done fumbling around he came to me with the glass and medication. he made me take the tablets drinking them down with water. I looked up at his face under the kitchen lights.

"you've got to remember to take your medication Millie" Luke said putting the glass away.

I sat in silence and waited till he came back to me. He was now standing in front of me.

"Luke.." I quietly said. he gave a nod.

"what happened to you?" i asked gesturing to his face. to me they honestly seemed bad and i was worried.

"I uh..it's not important mil" Luke said giving me a smile.

"No Luke, who did this to you" I said crossing my arms.

"I just..got into a fight..yeah that's all.." Luke said awkwardly.

"with Hussain?" I said in a small voice, guessing.

Luke hesitativley nodded his head looking down. I lent forward carefully cupping my hands around his face not to hurt him and kissed him, long and passionately. I'd missed him, and this.

It felt like we hadn't done this in years even though just a night ago things had happened. But this kiss felt different from all the rest. This kiss felt like something I hadn't felt in a long time. It meant something. It filled up all the empty spaces in everything.

After a while we both pulled away out of breath. My hands still lingered on his face. Luke leant his head against mind and entwined his fingers with my free hand.

"I love you" he whispered.

"I love you too" I whispered back.

————————————————————————

It'd been a couple days since the incident happened. Emily made me take days of from school after she had a long phone call with the school, consenting me for the time off.

I begged Emily to let me go but Luke insisted I stay so I gave in. Every morning Luke had to leave me to go to work and he'd return late in the evening. I missed being around him all the time.
