You Don't Know Me (Punk Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 25: Does Third Chance Exist?

*LACEY'S POV*

I am so stupid. I shouldn't ask him. If I wouldn't he wouldn't tell me anything and we would be happy. Well, we would be probably cuddle tight now in my or his room. But just a thought of him thinking about using me just to take his revenge, it's just... I should never let him to get that close to me. Whatever, he has his stupid record deal and I hope they're getting really famous so he's not in Australia as much as it's possible. I hope they'll be on tour like for at least sex month plus promoting stuff and recording a stupid album. I want him out of my life.

At first, I shouldn't stare at him at the NYE's celebration. Second, I should call the police that night in that shop. Third, I should never talk to him. Yeah, maybe I would be still with Ryan now and he would probably cheat on me and maybe I would find out about it and I would be happy now. I would be single and I would go to college. "College" I shout and jump off the bed. I almost forgot about it.

*LUKE'S POV*

Fuck. It's been 3 days since I told her. I'm starting to be nervous. What if this is over? What if when she run away was the last time I saw her? No, I have to do something about it. But what? I bet she's not going to talk to me. Maybe I could persuade Jade to take her somewhere and I would be there and talk to her. Maybe I could talk to Lola to... no, she doesn't like me. What am I going to do. Fuck, I'm going to kill that piece of shit called Ryan. He has to ruin everything.

I look at my phone. It' 15 minutes after midnight. There's no light switched on in the house. I get off of the car. I look up at the window. It's dark in the room. Okay Lucas, this is your last chance, this is your last try. Try hard or you're going to lose her forever. There will be nothing what could bring her back to you. I come to the fance which divide the backyard from the street. I jump over it. It seems harder when I'm not drunk. Last time it was much easier. I hope that the back door won't be locked. I push the door handle down and quietly open the door.

I quietly enter the room. She sleeps so peaceful in her bed. I don't want to wake her up. I lie down next to her. I breathe in the smell of her hair. "Lacey" I whisper and put my hand on her shoulder. Nothing. "Lacey" I whisper again and shake carefully with her body, "no, mum, please, 10 more minutes" she mumbles. She's so cute and I have to smile to myself. "Lacey, wake up" I whisper for the third time with my hand still on her shoulder. She finally opens her eyes and looks at me "Jesus Christ" she creams but then she covers her mouth. "What the hell are you doing here?" she asks. "I wanted to see you. I miss you so much." She shakes her head "I don't know if I can do it." "Look, I know it wasn't right. To think about to use you. Yeah, I was an asshole, but... I think the most important thing is, that I love you, I really do. And you know that." She looks at me and she know I love her. But I did hurt her so many times. She can't trust me in this.

*LACEY'S POV*

He's sitting on my bed in the dark room in the middle of the night. I know he cares about me and I know he loves me. But I don't know if I can take any other pain. And honestly, he's not the only guy in the world. "Lacey please" I hear him say. "You beg too much. I stopped believe your tattoos like a month ago." I say and I smile. "Shush, we're not going to talk about my tattoos now" he starts but I cut him off, "why not? Yeah, why not Lucas? I want to know more about them."

We spent the rest of the night talking about Luke's tattoos. I think we fell asleep like around 3am in very uncomfortable position. We were sitting. My head on his chest and his arm around my waist.

*LUKE'S POV*

I wake up in the morning and my neck hurts as hell. I move my head and hit into something, well it's someone. I open my eyes and see Lacey how she's rubbing her head. Thin I get it, it's the place where I hit her with my chin. "I'm so sorry" I say and pull her closer to me and immediately start to kissing the place. She starts to pull away from me "leave me alone, everything what you ever did to me was hurting me" she says and continue to rub the place on her head. I roll my eyes and I know she was joking and didn't mean it, but those words are true. She deserves someone better. I'm not the right person for her. It's going to be better for both of us.

*LACEY'S POV*

He stands up and want to leave. I don't have any idea why, but then it hit me. That stupid joke I said about hurting me. "Luke wait," I stand up to stop him. "No Lacey, you're right. All I ever did was just hurting you. I know we had some amazing moments and I really appreciate them, but I don't want to hurt you anymore. I can't live with the feeling I'm hurting you. Just promise me you will find someone better than me." He says and I see his eyes start to fill up with tears. "But Luke," I make a step forward. "No Lacey, just do what I told you" and after those words he leaves me there.

*LUKE'S POV*

I am walking through the mall. I am supposed to meet my cousin and best (girl)friend in one person, Courtney. "Hey" she stands up and starts to wave at me tight at the moment when she spots me. "Hey" I reply. "What's wrong?" she asks. "Nothing, it's just Lacey" I mumble. "Your girlfriend?" she continues the questioning. "Well, she's not my girlfriend anymore." I sigh. "Why not? What happened?" she keeps asking. "That's complicated and it's a really long story." I say. "Whatever, I have a lot of time" she says and put one hand under her chin ready to listen to me. So, I start talking.

While I was talking, she didn't say any word. So typical. "You're such an idiot Lucas" she shakes her head. "Isn't it obvious? You love her and she loves you. You're such a dickhead." "But she deserves someone better than me, someone who..." but she stops me talking. "Shush. I don't want to hear that. Go to her and never let her go again. I said never. Can you hear me?" I nod. She's right. She's always right and I hate that. "Why the hell are you still sitting here? Go!" she orders and I immediately stand up and run. Then I go back and hug her "thanks" I say. "Okay, just go."

*LACEY'S POV*

I just got out to get the mail from the mail box when I feel someone's hands on me turning me around and crash his lips on mine. I know exactly who that person is. I kiss back. He smiles into the kiss and I smile to. When he breaks the kiss, he says "I'm sorry. I'll never let you go again. I'll never leave you. I promise." I nod and we lean our foreheads against each other. I wrap my hands around his neck and he wraps his around my waist and I feel like he's holding me closer than he ever did before.
