Once Elle got home, she changed into her high waisted skinny blue ripped jeans, with a black off the shoulder jumper and her timberlands, she then put her hair up into a messy bun.
She had decided she was going to the park just to think and clear her head, her nana always used to take her there when stuff was hard at home, once Elle had got there she plumped herself down on the grass and laid back looking up into the sky whilst listening to "amnesia" by 5sos
"All alone?" A husky voice said out of no where, Elle quickly got up to find that it was Luke Brooks,
"Yeah, needed to come here just to think" Elle said as she laid back down
Luke walked up to beside her and sat right next to her,
"I'm all ears if you need to talk," Luke said gently,
"Thanks" Elle said gently, "my nana use to bring me here when I was young, when stuff was happening at home, it was a place where I could escape from everything you know?" Elle added on,
"I get what you mean, I have my special little place where I do exactly the same thing" Luke smiled, "want to talk about it?" Luke added on with a gentle voice,
" when I was younger I never really got on with my dad, we always used to argue, I hardly ever spoke to him, we are still kind of like that now" Elle opened up,
" when I was In primary school and the first 2 years of seniors I used to get bullied, for not "fitting in" as people called it, just because I would have my homework in on time, or listen to the teacher, or wearing clothes that made me stand out, there was always something" she added on, Elle then sat up " but you know the one thing that still haunts me to this day, is when I used to get hit or beat up in school, for no reason just cause people thought they could cause they thought they were better than me, you know?" Elle questioned Luke, but he just sat there with so much emotion in his eyes, he then spoke "I'm just going to let you get off your chest, I'm just here to listen carry on"
So she did " and because of the stuff people put me through with the bullying and everything, I used to self harm cause I wanted to hurt my self, because I thought that I was hurting other people, and that's why they were hurting me, so I would just cut or starve myself to get it all over with instead of having to go through the bullying again every single day," as tears started coming down her face slowly, Luke looked right into her eyes whilst wiping the tears from her eyes,
"I also get scars from-" Elle started before looking away realising she shouldn't of said anything.
"From what?" Luke turned to her, his eyebrow raised.
"From being too clumsy." Elle spat out.
"Oh ok." Luke shrugged it off, turning back.
"Where do you get your scars from?" Elle asked, her sympathetic eyes looked at Luke, as his opened wider than before.
"You don't need to know, I can protect myself." Luke retorted making Elle jump back.
"Oh, sorry." Elle muttered. There was a moment of silence making her feel uncomfortable as Luke laid back onto the lush grass.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you but sometimes it's best not to know everything, people deserve secrets like how you have yours." Luke sighed, his hood sat over his eyes. Another space of silenced filled the atmosphere before Luke sighed again. He got up,
"But soon you're going to tell me all your secrets and I'll keep them including that one you're hiding now, but don't worry, I'll be patient.
