Silent Playlist ON HOLD

Two

I woke up in a dark room, I started to panic until I noticed the boxes in the corner of the familiar room I'm in. I lay on my pillows as the day plays over in my head. I realize that Lucas is no longer in the little room, I frown but pick myself up, dusting my black skinny jeans off.

Just as I bend down to grab my backpack the door swings open, and Lucas steps in, "I got you water" He hands me the bottle and I take it into my hands, just now realizing how thirsty I am (A.N No pun intended). Screwing the top off or trying to screw it off, Lucas finally takes it from me and opens it himself.

His muscles contract as he struggles opening the bottle too "Thank you" I whisper as he hands it back to me. He nods and sits down, grabbing a cigarette and his black lighter. "How long was I asleep?" I ask sitting next to him.

"Not long, maybe an hour" He says and takes a puff, he hands it to me "Want to try?"

I shrug and grab the cigarette the same as he does, in between his pointer and middle finger. Slowly I bring it to my lips and breath in. An odd taste feels my mouth and knowing you don't swallow I suck in and then blow out.

"Wow, have you smoked before?" He chuckles as he takes it back and takes a drag before handing it back to me. I nod and we go back and forth like this for a couple minutes until the cigarette is complete. "20 questions?" Lucas asks me and I shrug, picking at a loose string on the hem of my Blink-182 band tee.

"Okay what is your full name?" He asks me, i look up at him and lick my lips.

"Katherine Ella Jackson, why do you smoke?" He takes his time to answer my question before looking back at me.

"Because it's fun Katherine" He smirks at me and I look down at my lap, my cheeks turning a red shade. "Any siblings? If so what are there names?"

"I have 2, Emma and Jay" I smile "Jay is a girl" I point out and look at him "Uh- What is your favorite color?"

"Black, but I'm guessing yours is too?" I smile and nod, I stare at his lip ring and he notices. "Oh, this was nothing. I was drunk when I got it" He chuckles to himself and I find my self letting out a small giggle. Quickly recovering with a fake cough, but the way Luke looks at me he knows it was a fake cough.

"When did you lose your virginity?" He smirks at me and I narrow my eyes at him.

"I was forced to have sex last year" I frown but continue "Do not ask anything else about it" I sternly say, he looks at me wide eyed and he slowly nods.

"I'm so sorry, uhm okay your turn" We continue this and learn small things about each other. Luke plays guitar, sings in a band with his 3 mates, and has a fish named Squeak. He also once was dared to dye his hair purple, so he did and his parents kicked him out of the house.

He yawns and looks at his phone, his eyes wide. "What's wrong?" I ask.

"Oh-Uh nothing, I need to go" He stands and says goodbye, he stands there awkwardly before I smile and step in for a hug.

"Thank you for helping me" I whisper and I let go, bending down to grab my backpack. "I'll see you tomorrow"

I leave the little building and notice the student parking lot almost empty, and just my luck my ride left me. As always, I decide to walk even though I live a couple miles away. "Katherine!" Someone calls my name and I turn in a circle before looking at Luke who is inside a red mustang. "Do you need a ride?" I nod my head and he unlocks the door, reaching over to open the passenger door.

"Thank you, I live in the apartments by that Walmart" I point down a long road that seems to go on forever.

"I live in the houses next to them" He laughs and I smile, the sound of him laughing somehow makes me smile. I don't smile often. "Here we are" He pulls up to the gate and I tell him the code. He punches in the four digit code, the gates slowly open and Luke looks over to me as I take my seat belt off.

"Thank you again, for the ride and all" I smile shyly and get out of his car, he leans over and rolls down the windows.

"Do you want a ride to school tomorrow?" I nod my head and he gives me a thumbs up before letting me know the time that he will be at my apartments to pick me up. I drag myself to my room and collapse onto my bed. I take a breath and sit back up finding my phone.

I log onto instagram and look up 'LucasHemmings', a couple results show but none of Luke. This time I look up LukeHemmings and a profile comes up, the profile picture is him but he is private. I request to follow him and automatically I get a follow back from him. I smile and close my phone, falling asleep.

The next morning, I'm rushing around trying to look decent for once. I put on a black and white stripped loose shirt that shows my stomach a bit, with black skinny jeans that are ripped at the knees, my white converse, and my famous black tattoo choker. I apply mascara and some eyeliner before looking at myself in the mirror.

I walk into the living room and my step mom stops and stares at me, "Katherine, you look amazing" She says and pulls my into a hug. Hesitantly thanking her and hugging back.

I look at my phone and realize that Luke will be here any minute. I rush down the stairs and stand by the gates. 6:58-7:07-7:16-7:32 and I finally realize that Luke is not getting me and I am already late for school. I slouch and walk along the familiar sidewalk towards my school.

About 10min later I hear a car slowing down next to me, I turn and see Luke smiling at me. "Fuck off" I spit and walk a bit faster.

"Woah, why so mad?" He asks and I stop, letting out a laugh.

"You forgot to pick me" I say as if it's the most obvious thing.

"No shit" He laughs and looks at me "We're both late anyways, get in and lets go get some pizza, yeah?" He smiles and I roll my eyes but open the door to his car, getting in and wishing I hadn't.
