Chapter 17

Lesley's POV

I finally got out of the hospital and my ribs healed enough for me to go back to prison. I got up, took a shower, and brushed my teeth. I brushed my hair and put it into a ponytail. I put on a black sweater that had the Batman logo, yellow skinny jeans, and combat boots. 

I grabbed my phone and texted Luke.

Im going to school. U coming? 

I slipped my phone into my pocket and walked out of the bathroom. I walked down the stairs and grabbed my bag from off the couch and walked toward Mrs. Johnson's house. 

No :( I have an insane headache, Luke texted back. 

:( ok.... I'll miss you, I sent back. I knocked on Mrs.J's door and she quickly yelled, "Come in!!!"

"Hey," I said walking into the kitchen. She was standing at the stove, cooking bacon. 

"Hi, Les!!! How you feeling?" she asked.

"Better," I said sitting on top of the counter. 

I'll miss you too :*, Luke sent back. 

"You hungry?" 

"Not really," I said back. I hopped off the counter and walked over to the fridge. I took out the orange juice and poured it into a cup. I took a sip and hopped back on the counter.

Mrs. Johnson finished eating and washed her dishes. She walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth and came back.

"Ready?"

"Yeah," I said back. We walked out the door, meeting up with the other boys.

"Hey," I said happily.

"Hi," they said in unison. We piled in the car and drove off.

The day had been normal. Normal classes, normal lunch food, normal idiots. But, after lunch we got called down to an assembly. Finals were coming up, so I thought it was a prep rally. But , oh, how I was wrong. 

Ali and I walked in the gym and found the other guys. I sat in between Ashton and Michael and we began chatting about something. Ali, of course, sat beside Calum.

"Hello, students!!! Today we have a special treat from Dallas Anderson," Mr. Sparks said excitedly. Everyone clapped sarcastically as he came to the platform.  

"Hi. Today, I will inform you son someone in this school you thought was sweet and innocent. Someone that you could never picture doing anything wrong. Who is this person? That, my friends, is the question," he said, every word he said making me hate him even more. Whoever this person was was probably in the crowd about to cry. Dallas was about to ruin this persons life. 

"This evil person goes to this school. He is a Junior, and is slightly popular. He's not originally from here and is dating a beautiful girl that he does not deserve." Dallas rambled. 

"GET ON WITH IT!!!" someone in the crowd screamed. Mr. Sparks looked at them evily and put his finger to his lips. 

"This person committed a murder. He murdered his girl friend and almost killed her sister. Who is this terrible beast?" Dallas said while a mugshot poped on the screen, "Luke Robert Hemmings"

I literally felt as if I was stabbed in the stomach. Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face. Ashton put his arm around me, trying to comfort me. I pushed him away, grabbed my bag, and walked down the bleachers. I went to the office, signed myself out, and ran to Luke's house. I knocked on the door loudly. 

"Hey, babe!!! What are you doing-"

"Tell me it isn't true!!!" I cried. 

"Wh- what are you talking about?"

Before I knew what was happening, my hand harshly hit his cheek. "Tell me it isn't true!!!"

He hesitated, "It's a lie, I was framed."

Relieved went all through my body. But how could I not know if he was lying? More tears were streaming down my face, me realizing I had just hit the person I love. 

A single tear went down his cheek, "Please, believe me. Just come in and let me explain."

I pursed my lips together, not sure if I should or not. I was slightly scared- if it was true, would he hurt me? I walked into his living room and sat on the couch, head in hands. He sat on the coffee table, trying to calm himself. 

"Tell me," I demanded. 

"I was dating my best friend's, Susana, sister. She wasn't really happy with that because she was in love with me. But, Macy broke up with me for another guy and my heart was broken. One night, I got home from school and saw Macy in the floor, dead," at this point waterfalls of tears were streaming out of his eyes, "Susana was holding the knife and she stabbed herself in the stomach. Not enough to make her die, but enough to make it look believable. She told the police I did it, and I was in juvie for two years when I finally got parole. I swear to god, Lesley, I didn't touch them."

His eyes were full of truthfulness. A pang of guilt hit me like a brick. I stood up and sat on his lap, legs wrapped around his torso. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him.

"I love you so much. I don't ever want to loose you," he sobbed into my hair. 

"I love you too," I said, crying just as hard as he was. We pulled apart and shared the most passionate kiss I've ever experienced. 

"I'm so sorry I doubted you," I said once we pulled apart. 

"It's okay, babe," he said back, kissing me again.
