Save Me

Chapter 16 - Paranoid

August 6, 2018, it was the day after Blake received a call from Dylan. 3:40 in the morning, Luke got a call from Blake: Blake was drunk and had no sleep. Luke picked up the phone and he was surprised when he heard Blake's voice.

"Hello?"

"Hey Luke, sorry, did I wake you up?"

"No, no, it's alright. Why did you call?"

Blake suddenly felt really sad and his tears started flowing down through his cheeks and chin. "Oh, I just wanna hear your voice. I miss you, Luke."

Luke was clueless and asked. "Blake, are you alright? Did something happen?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Nothing really happened." Blake said as he wiped his tears that continuously flowed.

"Okay, I miss you too, Blake."

Blake tried to hold his tears back when he heard Luke say he missed him too and said. "I love you, you know that, right? Luke?"

"What are you talking about? Are you sure you're alright? You're being weird right now."

"Just tell me you know it, right?"

"Of course I do, even if you don't tell me that, and I love you too."

Blake smiled and said. "Alright then, see you later."

"Yes, see you later."

Hours have passed, Blake picked Luke up by a car and immediately left. They were on the road, and Blake was waiting for the traffic light when Luke suddenly poked his shoulder and said…

"Blake, the light is green already."

"Oh yeah, yeah, I know."

Luke was suspicious about Blake's movements and said to his mind, "I've never seen Blake spacing off before." After a minute of driving, Blake and Luke arrived at the campus, everything was normal but Luke noticed Blake being paranoid. 

"Luke, can you reply to my messages?"

"Hmm.., sure." Luke said with a smile and suddenly kissed Blake on his lips.

Blake was surprised and asked. "What was that kiss for?"

"I don't know, you seemed out of your mind since this morning, so I thought a kiss would comfort you."

Blake blushed and asked for more and Luke gave him another kiss before he left.

"I'll get going now, see you later."

"Alright, don't forget to reply, okay?"

"I won't, I won't."

Luke and Blake left and headed separate ways. Luke was walking when he saw Dylan passing by him and said…

"Don't forget to come later to the empty room after class, okay?" 

Luke flinched and nodded. Luke entered his classroom and saw Erina sitting on his table again. Luke walked towards Erina and asked if she needed something without looking at Erina's face. Suddenly, Erina held Luke's shoulders and asked…

"Luke, did Dylan tell you to come to the empty room later?"

"Mhmm? I thought you already knew?"

"I do, and I'm telling you, don't come."

Luke was a little suspicious by what Erina said and asked. "Why?"

"Just do what I say."

Minutes have passed professor Dan came in; suddenly, Blake texted Luke saying… "Did your class start?"

Luke immediately replied and said. "Yes, the prof just came in. I'll text you later when the first period is done."

"Okay, I love you."

Luke smiled and didn't reply. Not long ago, the professor was teaching when Blake suddenly came and excused Luke to professor Dan.

"Blake? What are you doing here?"

"You didn't reply, so I got worried and came here to check on you."

"Seriously, did something happen to you? You're acting really weird today."

Blake suddenly fake smiled and said. "No, no, nothing at all."

"Hmm, are you sure?"

"Yeah, don't mind me."

"Okay then, I'm going back now."

"Okay, but give me a kiss first."

Luke blushed and asked. "What? What if someone saw us?"

Blake insisted and said. "Please, I won't leave if you don't give me a kiss."

Luke had no choice and kissed Blake on the lips. "There. Are you happy now?

Blake smiled happily and said. "Yes, you can go now. I love you."

Luke giggled and said. "I love you too."
