Knight In Disguise

Sunshine Gained and Sunshine Lost

I felt bad for making Ashton keep my secret, but I had to tell this to Luke myself. It was 2 a.m. and I was laying on Luke watching Disney movies. "I never watched princess movies I thought they were misleading." I explained. More like I knew I would never get a happily ever after. "You would make a beautiful Disney princess." He was always complimenting me I didn't understand why. I shivered. "Are you cold?" "A little." Luke wrapped his arm around me and then the covers on his bed. I yawned, "I don't want to go home tomorrow." "Then don't, stay here." "I'd love too." A smile appeared on his face. "But I can't." I said harshly. "My parents would suspect something." I looked at him, I felt the anger rising. "It's so stupid! Everyone in my family tries to act like nothing happened, that it's okay. Obviously it's not! We have to celebrate the holidays together. I already know it's going to suck!" I say punching the sheets and then moving closer to Luke. "I'm sorry. I wish you didn't have to deal with it." I sigh, "You make it better it's going to be terrible. But knowing your here, knowing you love me makes it all better." I thought of the song my mom used to sing when I was little. 'You are my sunshine my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you'll never know dear how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.' I realized Luke was my sunshine and I wasn't going to let anyone take him away from me. When I woke up I realized I had to go back home. "Your up." Luke smiled. "Yeah sorry I tend to sleep in." I ran a finger through my hair. "Are you hungry?" I haven't eaten in 4 days. "Yeah maybe just a little bit." I replied finishing putting my hair in a side braid. I "What?" "My mom kicked my dad out." "Oh." I felt like I could tell Luke anything, he even asked to walk me home. We started walking hand in hand, everything was fine until someone grabbed me. "Your coming with me!" a man said. His breath smelled like cigars and whiskey. "Get off me your drunk!" his grasp tightened. "What you don't like me." I thrashed around. "Let go of me jackass. Let me go!" I said. He ran his fingers threw my hair, and over my jacket. "Let her go!" Luke said. I kicked the man, "Get your hands off me!" I screamed. I felt him let go and Luke was punching him. I stormed off. "Sapphire where are you going?" Luke said trying to catch up. "Home. I didn't need your help I could've done it myself." "I know you could have but it's okay to get help once in a while. You need me as much as I need you. I was trying to protect you!" "I'm not yours to protect. It's not your job to protect me! Your not my boyfriend!" I say stopping. "Your right." he said. Then he was gone. I marched home and stopped as soon as I got inside. I pressed my back against the door and slid down crying. I always end up losing the people I love.
