"Scarlet?!?!"
A banging on my door surprised me. Given that it was 7 in the morning and nobody ever visits me, I was shocked to say the least. I had been awake all night. After that nightmare I couldn't sleep. Stepping over my tissues and 3 empty beer bottles, I stumbled to the front door.
Only to open it and meet eyes with none other than Luke Hemmings.
"You look like shit." His voice had a joking tone to it but his eyes were filled with worry.
"Wow thanks so much, get your ass in here Hemmings." He walks past me further into my home.
"Holy crap Scarlet! What happened in here?" I know he is referring to the mess of my empty glasses and dirty snot rags.
"Can I get you anything?" I ask, completely ignoring his question.
"Scarlet really, what's going on?"
"Want something to drink? I've got lemonade, beer, wat-" I was cut off by his large hand covering my lips.
"Scarlet please talk to me. I know we're practically strangers but I care about you. Look here. Look me in the eyes," His hands lift my chin up to meet his deep blue eyes. "Scarlet you can trust me with anything. Just let me in, even just a little bit."
The longer I stared into those glassy orbs of his, the weaker I became. My knees felt shaky and my head felt like everything was spinning. And then without a second to stop it, a single tear slipped and rolled down my cheek.
Followed by another.
They just kept coming down though, and I couldn't stop it with all my will. My brain was buzzing. Between all the tears I've shed and alcohol I've consumed I can't control anything anymore.
My body suddenly collapses into his and I feel his strong arms hold me closer than I've ever been to someone before.
"Shhhh Scarlet, it's alright. I'm here. Everything is going to be okay."
I barely know Luke and certainly didn't want to know him. But right now I feel so safe and so relieved in his embrace. Something big is happening. It isn't like me to break down in front of people. Deep in my bones I can feel something huge forming....and I kind of like the feeling.
