The One To Save You || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 6:

Rose's P.O.V. -

When I got to Starbucks, Luke was waiting by the door. We ordered our drinks, sat down, and just started talking about ourselves like normal new friends would.

Luke's P.O.V. -

She looked amazing - as always. We were just talking like friends would, and that's when I decided I would ask her about living alone.

"Rose," I started. "Why do you live alone?"

Rose's P.O.V. -

"Why do you live alone?"

Oh gosh. Well here's where everything goes wrong in the world.

He had a serious look of concern in his eyes, and i decided to tell him the truth because I know I can trust him and that he's going to be a great friend about everything. Well, I hope.

"My dad died when I was 10, and ever since then, my mom has become an alcohol addict and she's abused me, so I left...." I explained to him. I didn't even realize I was crying until I felt a tear drop onto my hand.

"Is that why you have these..?" he said in such a small whisper I could barely hear him. I looked down and realized he was talking about my scars.

Shit.

I didn't know those were still visible.

By scars, I meant that I used to cut. I missed my dad and my mom abused me. I had to..

I nodded, still looking down.

"Listen to me." he said picking up my chin. "I know that we just met, but we're already great friends, and I know that you're a wonderful person and you don't deserve that. If the urges ever come back, just call me. No matter where I am, what time it is, or how old we are. I'll be here for you. I promise." He lightly smiled, kissing my wrist.

That was the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me. I was crying even more now, but only because of how nice he was.

"I'm sorry for making you cry..." he said looking down.

"It's okay. It's good that you know, cause it'll be a lot easier to be friends now." I said to him smiling.

"Best friends?" he asked smiling like me.

I didn't even need to think about my answer to that question.

"Of course." I said, giggling at his cheekiness.

Wow. 2 best friends in my first week. Score??

Luke was such a great person, inside and out. He was so nice about everything, and he was always smiling. And now he's my best friend.

We walked out of Starbucks and headed towards his house. He walked here because apparently his house is only 5 minutes away. So I got on my skateboard and he was pushing me in the right direction while I held Delilah in my hands. He started tickling my sides.

"LUKE! STOP IT!" I yelled, dying of laughter.

"NEVERRR!" he shouted back.

Delilah started barking playfully and wagging her tail, wanting to play too.

Luke finally stopped and started petting Delilah.

"oh my god. She's such a cute puppy! What's her name?" he asked me.

"Delilah. Yes, after the song 'Hey There Delilah' by the Plain White Tees."

"That's so cool!" He seemed so interested in everything I had to say.

Minutes later, we were walking down a driveway which of course was Luke's.

His house was really nice.

He opened the door with his own keys and added, "My parents aren't home yet." but not in a creepy sexual way. He was just informing me.

He showed me a tour of his house, so happy with everything he said.

"And last stop, my room!"
