Luke's POV
I woke up with my arm around Dakota's waist, I look down at her sleeping like an angel. I kiss her head gently and watch her facial movements change as she stays sleeping."Dakota I'm gonna go shower," I whisper in her ear
"Mhm" She mumbles as she turns in the bed
I slowly get up and make my way out of her room trying not to make any noise, once I turn on the shower I start sobbing. I didn't wanna cry in front of Dakota, especially while she was asleep so I had to get away somehow. I got in the shower and just let the water roll off my body.
Dakota's POV
I remember Luke telling me he was going to shower but I was getting lonely. I walked into his room and put on a pair of his boxers, which were clean, and one of his shirts and plopped on top of his bed. I lay there relaxed until I heard the water turn off and the shower curtain being pulled off. I stayed laying there with my head on my elbow trying to go back to sleep as the bathroom door opened,"Hey baby girl, how did you sleep?" Luke asked
"Eh" was all I managed to get out
He put on a pair of Nike sweats and adjusted himself,
"Ya know you wear my clothes better than I do sometimes," he whispered laying next to me
"I think you mean all the time," I said turning to face him, I smiled and put my head on his pillow
"There's that beautiful smile," he said kissing my nose
I giggled and he carried me back to my room, he placed me in the bed and grabbed the TV remote.
"Let's say in today, how does that sound?" He asked pulling through blankets to cover the both of us
"Sounds good to me," I responded cuddling up against his chest
He turned on the TV and we decided to watch criminal minds. After a while, I turned and looked up at Luke.
"Do you think I would have been a good mom?" I asked him breaking the silence
He turned and looked down, "Of course, you would, why do you ask"
"I just don't wanna be like my parents," I said looking at our feet
"I believe that we will be the best parents ever one day, nothing like your parents. And our kids are going to love us and we are all going to have the best relationship that a parent and child could possibly have. But we are only juniors love we have many many years to prepare ourselves," Luke says rubbing my shoulder with his hand that's wrapped around me
"I don't know what I possibly did to deserve you," I whispered
"You were just yourself and I fell in love with it."
Hours passed and we were still laying on my bed
"Lukey I'm hungry," I whined
"What would you like?" He asks getting up
"Ummmm...chicken nuggets!?" I exclaim
Luke laughs at me as he walks out of the room
I lay on my side and a single tear goes down my cheek. Then multiple follow the one.
'My life really sucks,' I think to myself
I look at my body, scars littered my body from my past. I had faded spots where bruising would be repeated. I traced my fingers along the self-harm scars I had, sometimes I still had the urge to do it again. I missed the feeling of the cool metal digging into my skin, it took my mind off other pain I was feeling. I've thought about how I wouldn't have to go through all this if I had just ended it all, I wouldn't have to remember everything that has happened to me. That sounds nice right about now.
