Hemmings

Six

    It was seven in the morning, and I woke up before Luke did. His arms were still wrapped around me, and it prevented me from being cold. I felt safe when I was in his arms, like no danger was going to happen or come into our way. My phone vibrated a bunch of times, and as I went to see who it was, it was my mom. Most of the texts she sent last night was 'Where the fuck are you.' Or 'If you leave you should tell me.'. By my actions, I can tell that my mom looks at me as a fucked up child. A person who fucks up everything. And that, right there, is why I felt horrible about myself before I had met Luke. I felt as if I couldn't be saved from all of this negativity. Luke, on the other hand, gave me hope that there is a time where someone picks you up and helps you dust off. I am truly thankful for him and I don't think I can ask for any more.

"Good morning, babe." Luke smiles, his eyes still closed. The sun shined where we were at, which made it hard for him to fully open his eyes. "Good morning sunshine." I played along. He kissed me on the forehead, and then on the lips. "Where are we going today?" He questions, clatching his fingers with mines. I lift my hair up to form a bun, and rub my eyes. "Let's go to the zoo." I smile, laying down next to him. He laughs, and I laugh too. "I wanna see the zebras!" I yell, giggling. He looks into my eyes, then smirks. "Okay, princess." He confirms, sitting up.

2 hours later

  The zoo was crowded with a lot of people, mostly because the new animal to the zoo was arriving. It was a panda name Scoshi, and its proven that it is the smallest panda ever to live. I loved pandas, and I consider Luke as my panda. We then first walked to the zebras, then to the rhinos. I loved animals.

"Luke. Luke Hemmings." A blonde curly haired girl spoke, grasping onto Luke's right cheek with her palms. I looked at her in confusion and jealousy, and crossed my arms to see who the fuck she was. Luke wiped her hands off of him, and stepped back from her. "Harley." He spoke. He seemed upset, but I didn't know why. I didn't know who the fuck 'Harley' was. "You came really handsome. And buff." She compliments, biting her lip. She she flips her hair to her back, and lays her arm on Luke's shoulder. "Look, Harley I know what we had was special to you.. But I have a girlfriend." He says, yanking her arm off of him. She giggles, licking her lips. "She isn't here, so come on. Let's get outta here, and start all over." She smiles. What the fuck? I'm standing right here. Luke sighs. Before he could speak, I interrupt. "I'm standing right here." I aggressively say, making my way in front of Luke to separate them. "I don't see much haha," She laughs, pushing me to the side and making her way to Luke. My jaw suddenly drops, and I dipped my head in anger. "Okay you fucking slut, listen. I don't personally know you but it's obvious you like to fuck things up between people. Shits gonna go down if you don't make an effort to fucking leave." I yell at the top of my lungs, dropping my shoulder bag to the ground. "I'd like to see you touch me, hunny. You don't know what you're getting yourself into." She laughs, dropping her bag down. "Stop, oh my god." Luke nervously says, trying to seperate us. Chaos crowded the place we were at, with people surrounding us. She puts her hair up, and before I could say anything else, she attempts to punch me. I dodged it with my hand in the perfect amount of time, and kicked her as hard as I can with my right leg. Luke pulls me as hard as he could, and he picks my bag up as he attempts to walk away. "Touch my girl again, and I'll make sure you'll be living in hell." He yells, angry. We walked out to the parking lot and sat at a curb, and I couldn't do anything but stay silent. Who the fuck thinks they could just come in and try to steal something that's mine? Luke embraces me, but I push him away aggressively.

"Riley." He says, forcing me to turn it him. I don't budge, I just sat there in silence, processing everything that just happened not a while ago. "She was pretty." I compliment, speaking softly. There it was again. Hello, welcome back, insecurities! I thought. Luke turns to me, turning me to him. "I almost lost you." I continue, facing my head towards the ground, my head on my palms. "I'm never planning to leave, no matter what the situation is. I didn't know she was there, and I have no interest in her anymore. I love you and only you." Luke says, taking my hand. I sit up. Glazing into his eyes. I don't believe him right at that moment, so I look away. "Remember when I first met you...." He trails off. "When I first saw you, I knew you were the one. Something deep inside me just told me that you were. When I defended you, I felt like a hero that saved his princess. No words could describe how I feel for you, Riley. And nobody can fuck that up." He confesses. He puts his palm on my cheek, and before he kisses me, he whispers "I promise.".

   I sensed he tried his best to convince me on how he really felt about me, but I only got angry for a reason. I cared, and that's why I get hurt a lot. But its different with him, he isn't here to hurt me. I didn't intend to have anything against Luke.
