Found You Again

Chapter 2

Hey guys it’s been a while but oh well, here is chapter two! Hope you like it!

“That sick man!” I yelled as Luke showed me a handprint on his back.

“Why this time?” I asked.

“He was drunk and mom wasn’t around. So he got me,” he said with sad eyes.

“I’m so sorry,” I told him and hugged his torso.

Luke’s real parents are divorced. His mother re-married, but to a total jerk.

Roger, Luke’s step dad, abuses Luke.

Luke could just drop a pen and be smacked.

We’ve tried to get him to stay at my house but his mother always flipped.

“I almost have enough,” he spoke.

“You do?” I asked.

“Yea soon I’ll be away from this I can’t believe it!” he responded and I saw his eyes twinkle.

“And me…” I mumbled.

Luke planned on saving up enough money to go on a plane and live with his dad in Connecticut.

“Jade, I don’t want to leave you, you’re my best friend, but I can’t take getting hit everyday,” he told me.

“I know Luke, it’s just hard to see someone you know be hurt,” I said, my eyes tearing up.

“Don’t think about it Jade,” he told me.

He knew just what I was thinking of.

I was thinking of how my mom was taken away.

I couldn’t hold in my tears any longer.

Luke pulled me into a hug as I cried on his shoulder, “I’m sorry I did this, we were talking about you.”

“It’s ok, it’s not easy to control when that thought pops up, and besides I’m happy we are off that topic.” He whispered.

“Thank you,” I mumbled.

“No problem, wanna go get ice-cream?” he asked me.

“Sure,” I answered.

He started walking towards the little concessions stand, but I didn’t move.

“Coming?” he turned around to ask me.

“Up!” I said like a little girl.

“Ugh,” he grunted then came over and let me hop onto his back.

“Thanks!” I squealed as he started to walk.

“Yea, but you’re buying!” he winked.

“Ok!” I responded.

Today was my lazy day.

It’s Sunday and Luke said he would come over to watch some movies with me around 1.

I was sitting on my bed on my computer.

I checked the clock and saw it was 12:50 pm.

I jumped up and grabbed two blankets then brought them downstairs.

I put the blankets down on the couch and walked into the kitchen.

I searched the cabinets for some popcorn.

I found a bag and put it in and let it pop listening closely.

When it was done I grabbed a bowl and spilled out the popcorn.

Next I had to get us drinks, Sprite mixed with orange and coke.

It was now 12:59, one more minute.

As if he could read my mind the door opened at exactly 1:00.

“Honey I’m home!” he shouted.

I laughed as I walked into the living room with the drinks.

“Hey! Now go get the popcorn from the kitchen,” I commanded and he sauntered off with what seemed to be a movie in his hand.

“What movie did you bring?” I asked.

“Well since I know you so well, I brought, Lion King 2!” he exclaimed as he came back into the living room.

“Yay!” I squealed and sat on the couch.

“Put it in and pop a squat!” I said.

He chuckled and put in the movie then sat next to me.

He sat down and put his arm over my shoulder.

I decided it meant nothing and snuggled into his side.

“Comfortable?” he asked.

“Yep! Now shh! It’s starting!” I scolded him.

He chuckled causing his chest to vibrate.

I couldn’t help but smile to myself.

“No Nala! Don’t go hunting away from the Pridelands! There is fire!” I shouted at the TV.

“Jade! She can’t hear you,” he chuckled.

"I know, i know, i tried right?" i asked him.

"Yes, yes you did." he replied.

I started to realize my eyelids were getting heavier by the second.

I yawned and snuggled deeper into Luke’s side.

“Tired?” he asked.

“Yea,” I said yawning.

After that I let my eyelids close all the way and darkness enclosed me.
