Cancer (Completed)

25

Sometimes, when I say, "I'm okay.", I want someone to look me in the eyes, hug me tight and say, "I know you're not."
-------------------------------

I gripped Luke's shirt and slipped it over my body, pulling it over my bum, making it go to my mid thigh. I stayed silent, barely shivering to myself in disgust and filth as I stared out the window as he made his way down the dusty road.

"Jo, what.. What did he do to you?" Luke asked clutching onto the steering wheel tightly. He glanced over at me before paying attention to the road.

I felt my eyes tearing up again and I leaned my head back, clearing my throat before answering. But I couldn't find anything to say.

"Did he only touch you, did he harm you also, any bruises?" He asked impatiently at my silence and I only spread my legs open and he glanced down and noticed the bug bruise on leg.

"I'm going to kill him." He stated angrily. His fist were turning more white as he gripped the wheel tighter and he clenched his jaw.

"I'm okay." I whisper out and I knew it was a half lie, 'cause sooner or later, I will be okay. He seemed to calm down at my response and he let out a silent sigh.

"Do you want to come over my house, I don't want to leave you alone and when I went looking for you at your place, your mom was pretty drunk with another woman over." Luke informed me, and I stayed silent again, why was he looking for me and why did my mom invite someone over and get drunk?

He sighed at my silent responses and ran a hand through his hair.

"Can you at least write?" He asked me softly, stopping at another stop sign and got a pen and paper out for me to write on.

Only to be fair, I grabbed the pen and paper from him and used the dashboard for support and slowly wrote down a reply.

Take me to your place.

I licked my lips and closed the pen, and brought the paper up, showing him what I had written. He scanned it over and nodded at me, before driving in the direction of his house.

After a somewhat quiet car ride and many attempts to get me to talk, we finally arrived in front of his house and he hopped out and helped me out his truck.

I followed close behind him with my things in my hands, as he unlocked his house and walked inside, I went straight ahead to him room and set my things on the floor near his doorway.

I laid down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, watching the fan spin in circles as I tried to focus on one pedal.

"Do you want some nutella?" Luke's voice startled me, and I looked down to see him standing in front of his doorway.

When he mentioned Nutella he noticed the blush on my face as I remembered our kiss, making him remember also.

"Right, sorry. I'll make us sandwiches." He apologized and turned around, exiting his room, making me lonely once again. I'm actually not that hungry since I ate small back at the diner, thinking about Niall made me shudder in discomfort.

I wonder how Avery and Sara's dates went, if the same thing happened or if they actually had a good time. Speaking of which, where is my phone at anyways, did I leave it back at Niall's? Shudder.

If so, I'll need to buy a new phone asap, no way will I go over there to get it, unless I make someone else go and get it for me.

Hearing Luke's footsteps coming back, I sat up on the bed and watched as he come in with two sandwiches in his hands, him being still shirtless.
