Lukas's POV

It's fair to say I was completely taken off guard when she threw her shoe at me. Panic raising to my face as she told me she was done with me. The heat of the fear I was feeling making my heart throb in my chest to the point even my head got its own heartbeat. The word done had never caused such pain and sadness as when she has pronounced it. I had never seen her this angry, pissed and sad at the same time. She could have easily punched my face if she really wanted to, I could see it as she balled her fists at me. Yet, I was determined not to let her push me away. I promised her I wouldn't and so here I was, carrying her to my car as she sobbed on my shoulder.

I lowered her into the passenger seat while she stared ahead of her, her expression sunken in thoughts. As soon as I sat down behind the wheel, she turned to me. "Lukas, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry." She spoke into a sob. Her face turned pale as if she had seen a ghost. "I messed up! I know I did but please I take it back, I don't want us to be over." I cocked a brow at her. Who is she trying to convince?

"We're only going to be over if a meteor hits this car right now." I said, reaching my hand out to push her wild hair from her face. What happened to her, there's not much left of that ponytail. I looked out of her side window. "See no meteor." I smiled at her and she let her head fall back against the seat, her sobs not fading one bit.

"I'm so stupid!" She cried, covering her face with her hands. "I completely lost it! This isn't me!" She shrugged her shoulders. "I, I really thought you-" She looked at me without finishing her sentence and it only made me wonder what happened to her to lose it like that. "I'm sorry." She whispered, sincerely apologizing for doubting me.

"I can't say I'm not a bit disappointed that you think that low of me." I said leaning in to wipe the tears from her cheeks, but that effort was for nothing as another stream of tears fell from her eyes. "Come on, you know how much I love you baby. Why would I want to mess it up by hooking up with Jess, who by the way couldn't even compare to you, not in the slightest." I asked her, still not wrapping my mind around it.

"I know, she just. She...That bitch she-" She was trying to catch a breath, my heart sinking to the center of the earth at the sight of her.

"Snowflake just breathe. It's okay, I'm not going anywhere. Just catch your breath and tell me what happened so I can understand." I whispered, now hanging over the gearbox, uncomfortable as hell, but I needed her to feel I was close.

"Where do I start?" She took a deep breath, the corners of her mouth tugging up into a faint smile as her eyes met mine.

"At the beginning." I smiled at her the panicked heat in my face now slowly starting to fade.

"Today was just awful!" She sighed again. "First these Lacrosse jocks proposed me a four-way." What the fuck. I had to swallow at those words, trying not to fuss but nothing could prepare me for the rest of it. "Then one of them groped me underneath my skirt and-"

"Are you fucking kidding me!" I raised my voice, startling her, as my hand clenched together into a fist.

"I'm telling you what happened!" She yelled back making me bite my lip. Now was not the time to get a temper, I needed to listen to her.

"I'm sorry I just-"

She cut me off before I could say how angry this was making me. How could they touch her, just like that, at work, in a fucking diner? I know I'm a jerk and I used to sleep around more than I could remember but I would never just put my hand on a girl without her giving me signs she actually wants to be touched. "It gets worse." She said, wiping away the tears from her face with her fingers and I braced myself, promising my temper not to latch out at her. She was being honest and I needed to listen to that, and even more take an example from it.
