break the heartbreaker : luke

rainy day

16 DAYS BEFORE PROM

"seatbelt, petal." luke says as he starts the car.

i wear my seatbelt, and luke starts to drive.

"this weather sucks ass." luke groans as he switches on the windshield wiper of his car.

"true." i nod.

it's monday morning, and luke had just picked me up for school.

it's been raining non stop since about 5am awhile ago, and they haven't called school off yet. it's almost as though there's zero visibility on the windshield because of how hard the rain's falling.

"i swear to god, if they decide to cancel school the second we get there, i'm suing." luke grumbles, causing me to giggle.

"it's so fucking hard to see," he grumbles again as heavy drops of rain continuously fall down on his windshield, "are you sure you're wearing your seatbelt?"

"yeah," i answer, making sure it's clicked in place, "why?"

"the road's slippery as fuck," he sighs, "i'm trying to drive as slow as i can."

i turn my phone on, and see that i got a few messages from maurine and ashton in our groupchat.

i read the messages, and my eyes widen instantly.

"luke, hold on," i say, facing luke who's got a very frustrated look on his face, "classes for today just got called off."

"i knew it," luke says, starting to put the car in reverse, "they always cancel last minute, right when the students are already on their way to school."

he puts the car in reverse, and starts driving going back to the direction of my apartment.

i instantly frown at this, because if i go home now, it means i was only able to spend a few minutes with luke.

"luke," i start, "i, uh, i kinda don't wanna go home, yet."

upon hearing this, luke instantly pulls over to the side of the road.

"you don't wanna go home yet?" he asks, "where do you wanna go, then? i can drive you anywhere you want."

"i don't know," i answer honestly, shrugging, "i just don't wanna go home yet. i get sad when it rains and i'm home alone."

"let me think." luke says, then stays silent for a bit.

"okay, i got it," he says straight away and begins driving again, "i know where to take you."

"that was quick," i answer, "where?"

"you'll find out soon." he says, facing towards me, and winks once quickly.

–

"we're here." luke says, then reaches into the glove compartment of his car.

he pulls out a small black remote thingy, and presses a button.

to my surprise, the garage door in front of us starts to open, and luke drives straight going inside it.
