My Superhero
Stay
Lucille's POV
After my dad and Harry left my room, I collapsed on my bed. 'I'm falling for a superhero' I thought. I repeated it over and over in my head. He was just so interesting and he saved me. I can't just have my dad stop all of this. I've never even really had a boyfriend before. I turned over on my side and checked the clock '6:45'. I'll just be fashionably late. I turned on some music and made funny faces in the mirror.
"Lucille?" I heard a knock on the door. I rolled my eyes and opened it. It was Louis.
"Hey Louis, what's up?" I asked popping the p.
"Well the party has started and a lot of people want to see you." I looked down and nodded. "May I?" He held out his arm for me. I smiled and gladly took it. I felt like I was walking downstairs for prom. As soon as we got to the top of the staircase, all eyes were literally on me. My cheeks turned red but only one person was on my mind. Harry. We carefully walked down and was greeted by my father who was playing nice.
"Luci, darling you look wonderful." He smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Thanks dad. I'm going to go get some food." I scurried away in hopes not to be introduced to any people. I ended up in our kitchen, full of caterers and chefs.
"Excuse me, miss?" I looked at the woman who was cooking "You can't be in here."
"It's my house." I snapped but exited the kitchen.
"Luci!" My dad yelled from behind me. I sucked in a lot of air and gritted my teeth. I turned around and put a smile on. Great. People. "This is my co-worker, Lance and his wife Anna. And their kids, Cole and Brianna." Cole looked familar, why?
"Do I know you from somewhere?" I asked as I examined his features.
"Um, yeah we used to hang out when we were little." Now I remember!
"Oh yeah! What happened!? After 6th grade you disapperead!" His parents looked down and frowned so did his sister. "Oh sorry, did I say something wrong?"
"No, in 6th grade, Cole went to juvie for some incident." His father stared him down. "He got out about a month ago." my eyes went wide.
"I'm sorry." I apolized and smiled, trying to not make it anymore akward. "Well I'm going to walk around, it's a bit stuffy." There were so many people arounf me, I was getting so claustraphobic.I stumbled outside on the front lawn.
"Careful." A husky British voice said as he held me up. I turned around to see Harry smiling.
"Hi, Handsome." I peckede his lips. "I have a question." He sat me down as we gazed up at the stars.
"Shoot." He encourgaed.
"What are your powers?' I giggled like a little girl.
"I can copy people's powers, walk through walls and fly." I threw my head back and laughed. "What?!"
"You..can.. fly!" I weezed.
"Yeah I can, I'm amazing!" I leaned on his chest and tried to catch my breath. I could hear his heart beating really fast. "Lucille?" He said after a few minutes of slience.
"Yes?"
"I can't do this." What? But he kissed me! I got up on my feet and stared down at him.
"B-but Harry, I really like you. I don't care if you have powers. I'm sorry I laughed!"
"No, no Lucille I;m not mad you aughed, I just can't protexct you. You are in dange everytime you're with me." How am i in danger?! He's a superhero! "Lucille, I'm sorry."
"If this is about my father, he doens't have to know!" I shouted.
He stood up, I was frozen I didn't even move. He kissed my forehead and left. I was just left there feeling horrible.
After an hour of standing and sitting alone outside, my father called me in. "Speech time!" He said excitedly. I smiled and follwed him in. I sat down next to Cole and Brianna and listened to what my father had to say. "Good evening, as you all know, my daughter, my beautiful daughter is finally home!" Yay.
"18 years ago, she was brought into my life by a wonderful woman who could not be here today." Mom. My heart sunk. "She left this Earth, entrusting me with our bundle of joy and I took on that responsibility head on. Over the years, I've watched Lucille grow into an amazing young lady. It's strange to know that one day I'll be saying this at her wedding. Lucille, your mother would have been incredibly proud of you, I know I am. So here's to homecoming and my daughter." We all raised our glasses in silence. I wiped the tear that was streaming down my face and ran to the bathroom.
I cried and cried. How can I look at that man up there who has lied to me about everything? I get htat it was for my safety but still? Is his work the reason that my mom is dead? Did she really get in to that "car" accident like he says she did? I looked into the mirro and frowned. Once I got myself toogether I opened the door to find Cole leaning agaisnt the frame.
"Dance with me?" He winked. Mine as well, right?
"I would love to." I grabbed his hand and walked to the dance floor and slow danced.
"So what does your father do?" Why was he asking this question? I had to lie.
"I honestly don't know, why would I want to? I'm 18." He laughed and moved his hand down to my butt. "Hands off." I said sternly.
"Sorry." He laugghed some more
"So what trouble did you get into?" I asked, I felt Harry watching me form the corner of my eye.
"Fighting, a lot." He smiled.
"And you're proud?"
"I work for someone now. And I need answers." I felt a pointy object at my stomach.
"You." I whispered. He backed us away from the crowd into a dark hallway.
"Yes me." He chuckled. "Now, tell me want I want to know and you won't die." I shook and wanted to cry for help.
"Get away from her." The same British voice growled. I heard punches and screamed. A bunch of people came toward us and turned on the light.
"Lance! Your son is working for him!" Harry yelled as he brought him down to the floor. My father, Lance and a few other men picked Cole up and took him away.
"Take her upstairs." My dad told Harry. "Everyone else leave!" I sat leaning against the wall.
"Come here." Harry whispered. I shook my head and brought my knees to my chest. He lifted me up and carried my upstairs. He dropped me on my bed and turned around. "You can change." I ran to my dresser and pulled out some sweats and a tank top. I went to my bathroom, brushed my teeth and washed my face. I sat in there with the door locked and cried. What was I born into? When I was finally done I got into bed and laid my head down.
"I'll be outside." He said sadly.
"Harry?" I asked quietly. He turned around, his eyes red and wet. "Stay with me." I cried silently. He took off his shirt and lied down next to me. I finally felt safe and fell asleep in his arms.
