(LUKES POV)

I stood up to go after Marley. Miss Marin grabbed my arm.

"She's too dangerous to love, luke."

"I care about Marley ATLEAST a million times more than you two combined. I will never abandon her, or let her rot away in an attic! " I snapped.

"If he gets you, he will get Marley too." She added.

"I don't care! I love her, Miss Marin! I have loved Marley Smith or Quinn or Lane, whatever you wanna call her, since I was 6 years old! I have never stopped loving her and I never will!" I yelled at her, pulling away from her grip and running to Marley's room. I banged on the door so hard I thought I was gonna break it. I heard her crying.

"Let me in Mar. Baby, let me." I said soft.

"No, Luke. " she whimpered.

"Please, Mar." I put my head against the door. The door unlocked. I just grabbed her. She let go of me and backed away.

"Marley, what's wrong?" I asked.

"You can't love me." She cried shaking her head.

"Marley, what are you-" I started.

"You can't! He will hurt you! I can't let him hurt you! " she cried.

" he's not gonna hurt me! It will kill me to not be able to love you! You're my everything, and if I didn't love you well what would I do with myself?"

"Luke, I can't let you get hurt. " she wiped her eyes. "And right now, I-I don't know what is happening." She placed her hands on her head.

"Marley, you're my everything, I can't stop caring about you just with the snap of a finger." I said. "Now, come her." I opened my arms to her. She cried and cried. I swept my hand through her hair and rubbed her back. "It's okay." She cried and cried.

"What if they come here? Or go after me or you." She looked at me.

"It's gonna be okay. I don't know how yet, but it will be." I nodded. We sat in her bed and she laid down. I rubbed her back and she eventually fell back asleep. I can't believe this is happening.
