break the heartbreaker : luke

pretty girl

9 DAYS BEFORE PROM

the whole car ride going to the hemmings' family reunion, there was a single question that played in my mind.

what the fuck am i doing?

i told myself that i was going to keep my distance, didn't i?

now, i'm literally in his car, just twenty minutes away from meeting his whole family.

i wanna pull all my hair out because of what i'm doing.

not only did i break one rule last night when i made out with luke, but i'm about to break another rule later.

rule #2 meeting the parents or any relative is not allowed. it will lead to attachments.

and, no, i'm not just meeting his "parents or any relative". i'm meeting their whole fucking clan.

i'm on a roll, aren't i? i'm on a rollercoaster that only goes down, ladies and gentlemen.

"nervous, petal?" luke asks, making me snap out of my thoughts.

"oh, no," i answer sarcastically, "i happen to meet the family members of the guys i'm dating everyday, mind you."

did i really just fucking say that?

i glance over at luke, my eyes wide, seeing that he's grinning from ear to ear.

yes, i really did just say that.

"dating, huh?" he says with a smirk, "love that."

"i- i didn't say that," i snort, "quiet." i say, slumping down further on my seat.

"speaking of," luke says, "i'm going to introduce you later as my girlfriend, if it's alright with you."

he's going to introduce me as his what?

"what?" i say, my eyebrows furrowing, "me? as your girlfriend? why?"

"what do you want me to call you, then?" he chuckles, ""hey dad, meet my crush, vada, she doesn't like me just yet, but she's getting there." like that?"

"n-no." i say simply, definitely not wanting luke to introduce me that way.

"then it's settled." he says, smiling playfully.

it's only now when i really realize the weight of what i'm about to do.

i'm about to meet luke's family. and he's going to introduce me as his girlfriend.

again, what the fuck am i doing?

"we're here." luke says, beginning to park the car.

well, guess it's too late to back out now.

"just be yourself, alright?" luke says as he begins to unbuckle his seat belt, "they'll love you, i'm sure of it."

i really fucking hope they don't.

we get out of his car, and we start walking towards this big, cabin-like house. from the outside, you can already tell that it's a cozy place to be in.

"ready?" luke asks once we step foot on the porch.

of course not.
