Over and Over

Chapter 15

(Luke's P.O.V)

I held her guitar on my back, as she skates slowly and we talk about all our funny stories from when we were younger.

"You fell off that trampoline so bad, Joline was probably scarred for life with that face of yours! Me and Mikey were on the floor! Our fake date was better than your real one!" She laughs hysterically trying not to fall of her penny board as we talk about past relationships. They were pretty bad. Very bad.

We were approaching her house and my heart kept clutching and my mouth repeatedly spat out words to start the conversation, but I don't seem to get it out. Who knew this could be so hard? How do I say this? Come on, Luke say it!

"Luke."

"Yes, Holly."

"Say it." She dictates.

"What do you mean?"

"You clearly want to get something out your system! Spit it out!"

"Your a bloody mind reader." I chuckle. She holds down her board with her foot and looks up at me sternly with her hazel eyes. My stomach churns and my heart pounds with fear, but I need to tell her. "Holly I know... I ... Er. Saw the marks on your wrist."

She pulls her sleeves of her sweatshirt into her hands. "I haven't got a clue what your talking about." She avoids, moving slowly ahead on her skateboard.

"Listen!" She stops, not looking back. She lets her hair down to cover her hazel eyes. I walk towards her and spin her around. "It's okay."

"It's nothing." She whispered, avoiding eye contact.

"Okay. But I'm here if you wanna talk okay."

"Okay." She says, shrugging the conversation off.

She doesn't say a word as we reach her front gate. "Hey, erm... It's not a band rehearsal without the instruments, right?" She looked back and smirked. I swung her guitar off my back and handed it over to her.

"That's what James says. Well, what he used to say." She turns into a whisper.

"We all miss them too, you know."

"Yeah, I know." She says.

"Were you serious when you said I couldn't come to see you guys?"

"Deadly. But it's pretty early so come in!"

We walk towards her front door and she stops, tapping her keys against her knee. "Please don't tell anyone." She says looking down, digging her foot into the ground.

"I wasn't planning to, I promise okay."

"Thank you!" She says wrapping her arms around me.

"Calm down."

"It's not only thank you for that. It's thank you for everything."

"Your very welcome! But don't you think this gets you out of getting us Maccas."

"I wish." She laughs as she opens her front door.

"Holly! Is that you?"

"Yes uncle!" She yells.

Danny stumbles infront of us,It didn't seem as if he cleaned himself up and the house looked a mess and he held a bottle in his hands. "Kids!" He yells approaching us,

"Are you drunk, old man?" Holly asks astonished, looking at him.

"No..." He says hiding the bottle of vodka behind his back.
