Does he really care?

Uh-oh

The whole drive I was silent.

It wasn't a far drive but at the same time, it definitely wasn't a short one either.

"It's gonna be okay," Luke said grabbing onto my hand

My breath hitched and I grabbed onto his hand. We drove for a little under 2 hours before we got to his house. At the moment there were no cars in the driveway, I looked down the street towards my house and saw no cars in the driveway either. We walked quickly into his house and Luke locked the door

"Ok we need to figure out what's going on," Luke says walking into the kitchen

I follow closely behind him partly scared of being alone. I hear cars outside which is unusual for this street because it isn't on a main road, it is a tucked-away neighborhood with a dead end.
We both make eye contact with each other and slowly creep towards the window, when we look outside there is nothing, the street is empty and quiet like normal. The both of us shrug it off and I sit on the couch turning on the TV, I turn on the Simpsons and get comfortable. Lukes comes over to me and picks me up off the couch, lays down, and places me on top of him. 

We stay like this for a few hours until his family starts to come home. First, his mom came inside and greeted us, then his sister came through the door, and lastly his dad. They were all happy to see us but quickly were suspicious about why we were back. Obviously, I took the time to explain what's been happening. 

"Well it's a good idea for you guys to come back here," Luke's dad says 

I was still extremely nervous about everything, "I think I'm gonna go to sleep," I said randomly

Luke looks over at me concerned. I give him a little smile as I leave the room, I walk upstairs into the guest room and lay down. 

LUKES POV

"Is she ok?" My mom asks

"I don't think so," I said taking a deep breath

"Why don't you go upstairs with her, so your mother and I can talk? " My dad said holding my shoulder.

I nod slowly and walk upstairs into my room assuming she would be in there. When I opened my room it was empty.

"Dakota?? Where are you," I call out

I walk over to Molly's room, "Hey Molls did you see where Dakota went?"                                                                                                                                                       

"I think I heard the guest bedroom door open," She said distracted by her phone.

I nod and walk over to the guest room,

"Dakota are you in here?" I asked knocking on the door.

"Yea," I hear a faint response.

I open the door and see Dakota laying on the bed,

"Whatcha doing in here baby?" I asked walking toward the bed

"Just laying down" She responds.

I lay down next to her and turn her so she's facing me.

She looks tired, worried, and scared all at the same time. "Hey it's gonna be good, I won't let anything happen to you anywhere we are. I just wanted to be safe and come back here." I say playing with her hair.

"My dads gonna kill you," She whispers.

"He's not gonna touch me," I reassure her.

I can tell she obviously doesn't wanna talk about this anymore so I just pull her into me and we cuddle for the next hour. She ends up falling asleep as her arms are gripped around my waist.
