Ch. 32

I wake up the next day worried. I heard Luke crying but I don't want to say anything. I know he feels so broken about everything that is happening but I feel even worse that there's nothing I can do. I stare down at him then softly kiss his forehead. I run my fingers through his hair then get out of the bed. I sigh deeply as I walk around his room, how much longer? I ask myself, but I have no idea. This will go on as long as his demon pleases. I go into the bathroom and wash my face then brush my teeth with my toothbrush that is still here. Once I walk out I see Luke sitting at the edge of his bed. I sit behind him as I wrap my arms around his waist.

"You never took me out on that date," I say trying to take his mind off of what happened yesterday.

"The funeral is tomorrow..." he says.

His voice is numb and I can tell he's been crying. I kiss his cheek gently as I softly rub his chest.

"No ones knows you did it Luke...they will never know," I say.

"The police will investigate, and people will tell them that I'm violent and that I probably did it,"

"But it looked like she was hung, it didn't look like a murder,"

"The fact is I did it!" He yells this time causing me to flinch.

I let him go and get off the bed. I put on my shoes quickly as I shake. He never yelled at me so loudly before, he never sounded so harsh and mean. I feel his hand on my shoulder and he turns me around. He wipes away tears I didn't even know were there then hugs me tightly.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to yell. I didn't mean to make you cry..." he says as he rubs my back.

Luke kisses my nose softly then my lips. I kiss him back and put my hand on his neck as he holds my hips firmly. Luke picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist as I press my lips harder into his. The kiss ends slowly and I press my forehead against his gently.

"I hate making you sad," he says.

I put my hand on his face and rub his cheek with my thumb.

"You don't make me sad, you make me happy Luke. Very happy. I couldn't ask for anything better,"

I try to smile but it's hard. I find myself crying again and he kisses me once again.

"But if you really loved me then you would've let me go..."

I place my head on his shoulder as he continues to hold me.

"If I wanted to hurt you I would do that,"

I hear the door open but Luke doesn't put me down.

"She's back..."

It's Liz.

"This isn't the time mom," Luke warns.

I don't even bother to look at her and take a sniff of Luke's sweet scent. Luke places me on his bed and then he walks over to his mom. He talks quietly with her then she leaves. Luke closes the door and locks it. He sits next to me and holds my hand.

"What'd you say?" I ask.

"I told her that you needed some comfort...then she simply gave up. Like it no longer matter that she hated you,"

The next day, half of the school and I stand in the rain as we watch Tracy be buried. Our black umbrellas hang over our heads as the rain pours down on us. All I hear is, "Thud, thud, thud," and it makes everything blurry. No tears are shed and it makes me realize that Tracy was just a cruel person, she became bitter at such a young age. Once the funeral is over, I stay when everybody is gone. I stare at her tombstone and wish that maybe she could've had a change of heart. From our private conversations, she was no saint and sadly I know where she went.
