Luke drove me to his house. It was quiet except the sound of the engine. He glanced down at my wrist every so often then focused on the street.

When we got to his house I hesitated to get out but did and walked up the steps. My soggy close stuck to my skin and made me itchy. Luke opened the front door and I stepped in letting the warm air hit me.

"Come on, let's go get you cleaned up." Luke slid his hand in mine and we walked up the stairs to the bathroom. I sat down on the toilet and put my arm on the counter. Luke took a washcloth and started cleaning up the blood.

"Please, don't ever do this again." He said not meeting my eyes. I shook my head and winced at the stinging pain. When the blood was gone he kissed my wrist, "All better now." I giggled and set my arm in my lap.

He slid down the wall leting his head rest on the cabinet. I got up and sat down next to him. "Thank you." I said softly. I laid my head down on his shoulder and relaxed.

"Thank you for what?" He questioned.

"For caring for me."

"I'll always care for you, Lauren. Do you want to get out of those clothes?" He asked.

"I didn't bring any spare clothes."

"You can wear one of my big shirts." He stood up and I got up with him. We walked to his room which was a mess but cozy. He dug through a drewer and pulled out an oversized All Time Low shirt.

"Here." He handed me the shirt and I took it.

"Can you...uh turn around?" I asked. He obeyed and turned to the wall. I pulled off my wet clothes and slid the shirt on over my bra and painties letting it flow around me. It stopped at about my thighs.

I sat on his bed and he sat next to me. "You tired?" He asked.

"A little." I replied softly. I laid my head on his pillow and slid under the covers. He grabbed his pajama bottoms and headed to the bathroom.

He returned in plaid blue bottoms and shirtless. "I sleep without a shirt. Is that okay with you?" He asked.

"Yeah it's fine." He set his clothes next to mine and climbed under the covers. My hair was now nearly dry but still soaked the pillow. I turned to him and smiled.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing, thanks for letting me stay over." He cupped my face and ran his thumb over my cheek.

"Anything for you." He kissed my nose and then my lips. Luke put his hand on my back and pulled my closer. He parted our lips continuing the kiss. His hand ran up my spine giving me shivers and then down my leg.

He kissed my neck softly and ran his hand threw my hair. I smiled and notted my hands in his tossled hair. He continued down my neck and them returned to my lips.

He laid on top of me kissing me roughly but passionately. He pinned my arms down and finally kissed my cheek. "I love you." He mumbled.

"I love you too." I said. He laid back down on his side and my head rested on his chest. I could here his heart racing against his rib cage.

My eye lids fell and I slipped into a dream.

"Lucas Hemmings!" I heard someone scream. I bolted up and saw that Luke had gone downstairs. The door was open and I krept down the steps to see what was going on.

"I didn't do anything!" Luke screamed.

"You brought your 'friend' over and she slept in your bed!"

"She didn't have any where else to go! I had to let her stay here!"

I walked back up the steps and changed into my clothes. They were still damp but were do able. I slipped out his window not even saying goodbye and ran to the nearest gas station.

Oooh things about to go down!
