She was.... Lost.

Chapter 7

I was getting ready for my date with Luke , I’m so excited he might be able to take my mind away from everything. A few minutes later I recieved a text, it was Luke:

Meet me at the park, OK?

I quickly got dressed and made my way to the park nearest to my house. it was dark and i saw no one. I called Luke but he wouldn’t answer it went straight to voicemail. It was my third time calling him but as it was ringing I heard leaves rustling, Iturned towards the noise, it was Luke. but who i saw next to him surprised me ,like a lot, Daisy. I finally spoke up “Luke? Whats going on? Why is-” I was interrupted by an egg being thrown at me….. “Poor loser , she actually thought YOU, a hottie, would go out with someone like her. haha pathetic” Daisy said between laughs. Luke and Daisy kept throwing eggs at me and finally Luke stepped forward and cracked an egg over my head. “Sucks to Suck.”

BEEP BEEP

I jolted up in my bed, sweat covering my body and tears running down my face.

Oh it was only a dream. I hope.

I’ve been having dreams like these continuously and i’m starting to question my choice about my date with Luke. I mean there shouldn’t be anything to fear, right? He said he would fix me and that he cares, he wouldn’t do something like that to me. Or would he?

RING RING

I reached over for my phone the caller ID displaying it was Dani.

“Hello?”

“HEY YOU’RE LATE ! Its already nutrition, you planning to come or no?”

“OH MY GOSH! Well if i’m that late theres no point in trying togo. I’ll just go tomorrow and ask for my work, or can you ask for me? PWEASSEEE?”

“HAHA okay I’ll get your work for you doll.”

“Thank you. See you later. Tell Tom I said hi!”

“Yeah and while I’m at it I’ll tell Luke you said Hi”

“No I-” Too late she hung up. I really hope she was kidding cause that would be really embarrassing.

I got up from bed and got ready for the day, I mean I know it’s late but I wouldn’t want Dani and Tom to come over thinking I did nothing or even my parents. Speaking of my parents i should check if they’re home, I doubt it though afterall it is a wednesday. Oh Gosh Friday’s coming up, my date, wait is it even a date? Luke never clarified that, all he said was to go out with him. That could mean so many things like: going out as friends, going out as a couple, just hanging, etc. Okay now I’m really nervous. What if-

Grrrrrr I’m Hunrgy (okay i know thats not exactly how stomachs sound but hey whatever).

interrupted my stomach, haha I guess I should eat now. Before going downstairs, I pulled on some leggings an oversized tie dye shirt and my fuzzy tie dye socks, decent look right? I also combed my birds nest into a loose fishtail. No make up today, I want to be able to rub my eyes without caring. Finally I made my way to the kitchen, I was shocked to see my dad because well he’s never home.

“Hey sweetheart.”

“Hey dad. Why are you home? Shouldn’t you be working?”

“Oh yeah haha I woke up late and I called in sick. So I have the whole to myself.”

“Cool so we can hang out?”

“Ye-”

Ring Ring

ugh it better not be his work.

“Hold on kiddo.”

“Yeah okay” I mumble reaching for the froot loops on the top cabinet. Let me tell you that is such a struggle for a short person like myself, I’m 5’1 so yeah haha. I finally got it… now how am I gonna get down?

“Alright so um that was work turns out they really need me so we can’t hang out sorry kiddo.” I was about to ask my dad if he could help me but he didn’t even bother looking at me, he just left.

Ouch that wounded me.

I’ll just hang out with myself, but first I must get down. I bent down a bit making sure I wouldn’t slip. My hand reaching for the table but when I was an inch from grabbing it I slipped. It wasn’t those stupid “Owww I fell, don’t worry i can get back up” type of trips it was the bad ones. I hit my head hard on the ground and heard the pots hung above me fall as well. It was all a huge mess of noise. I started seeing black spots, trying to get up but i couldn’t then i heard my door being broken down.

“Whats your name?... excuse me? Hurry we need to get her the ER! Quick”

Thats all I heard until my eyes became to heavy for me.

 *Luke’s POV*

So its Wednesday and it’s such a boring day. Cris didn’t come today I’m guessing she didn’t feel well? I hope she’s alright though. It was lunch so I met up with my mates Ashton, Calum, and Michael. We went to our usual spot, a big tree thats on the corner of the field. Its calm and soothing there and best of all its across from the bleachers, where Cris hangs out. But since Cris wasn’t here all I saw was Dani and Tom. Calum was talking about how we should start a band and all since “we’re all pretty talented lads” I was actually liking the idea that is until I saw Dani running towards me with Tom chasing behind her. Her eyes were watery and with that i knew something was up. I got up and so did Ashton the other lads just stayed in their spot, they were worried but I guess they weren’t that worried. Ashton made his way to Dani hugging her and asking if everything was alright.

“Dani, whats wrong?” Ashton kept asking her.

“She’s in the hospital!” she said between sobs.

“Wait who is?” the other lads asked.

Dani looked over at me, like she was trying to tell me with her eyes, Oh no please don’t say her please don-

“Cristina” Dani answered my question, the one answer I feared so fucking much.

I felt so bad like everything just stopped. I didn’t even notice I had tears sliding down my cheeks til Calum asked if I wanted to go check on her.

I nodded my head. I couldn’t speak I didn’t even want to. We all started making our way to the office, it took a while for us to get out.. well more like sneak out. I really don’t care about getting in trouble but I didn’t want to get held back so I made sure I was super careful on not getting caught. We were finally out and we decided on taking my truck it was bigger than Dani’s mini cooper.

“Okay Dani what hospital?”

“She’s at Sullivan Hospital.” (Not real lol, just couldn’t think of anything else.)

"Okay.”

 I’m coming Cris, I’m coming.
