Just a Little Bit of Your Heart

Madison's POV

Michael came back without Luke with him, and to be honest, my heart dropped. I was glad he was out of jail and that they charged Peter, but I still wish I could've talked to him and seen him alive in the flesh.

"Well I want you guys to meet someone." I smile as Mikey finishes telling me about Luke.

"Who?" Violet wonders.

I don't answer, I walk away and they follow behind me as I lead them up the stairs to my brother's room. "Parker?" I knock on his door.

"Open!" He calls.

I unlatch the door, and walk in with Michael and Violet on my heels. "These are two of my friends that I was talking about last night." I gesture to the two of them. "This is Michael."

"Nice hair." Parker laughs.

"And this is Violet." I point to her. Parker's eyes light up and I see a hint of fire in them. Violet blushes prominently and looks away.

"Anyways.." I drag out, making eye contact with Mikey to see if he senses the friction between the two. He too sees it as he rolls his eyes discreetly. I then notice how weird the whole situation is seeing as how Mikey has a crush on Violet, and my brother is about 24.

"uh yeah." Parker coughs. "Nice meeting you guys."

I roll my eyes at him and lead them out of the room. "Sorry, that was weird."

"What was weird?" Violet questions, standing very closely to Michael.

"Nothing." I shake my head smirking a little.

"Well the rest of the night is yours. I just wanted you to meet Parker." I say and sit on the couch.

"Have you ever been skinny dipping?" Violet asks, catching me off guard.

"Skinny dipping?"

"You know like swimming, but your naked." Michael answers.

"Yeah, yeah I know what skinny dipping is. What about it?"

"Let's go!" Violet exclaims as if laughing because I didn't get the point earlier.

"Oh I don't know.." I look over to Michael, seeing if he was going to go through with this.
"I'm in!"

They both look at me waiting for an answer. "I-I don't want you guys to see me naked." I bashfully say, lowering my head.

"Nobody going to care. We'll drink plenty of booze and we wont be able to tell what the difference between a body is." Michael clarifies.

I look between them for another minute without saying anything. "I can't believe I'm letting you guys talk me into this." I groan.

"It'll be fun, I promise." Violet smirks, pulling my hand out the door.

~~*~~

Violet drove the car to the beginning of a road and let Michael out. He said that just up the road was his house, but he could walk. He said something about making sure he had his phone. When he came back he told us the direction to the lake that we would all be getting naked in. I mentally shiver as the thought really grosses me out. What they don't know is, is that I put a swim suit on underneath all my clothes just in case. I'm like they said, if they really get that hammered, they wont be able to tell. Plus someone will have to be sober to drive us all home.

"Is this is?" I ask, as we pull up on a sanded area.

"Yup." Michael answers, looking up from his phone that he's been texting on the whole way here.

I bite my lip nervously and step out of the car and follow Violet onto the dock. Michael shortly catches up with us, placing the huge keg down. Violet wastes no time by quickly filling up her cup with the alcohol. Michael sits flat on his butt as he continues to type away.

"Here." Violet hands me a cup full of the alcohol.

"I don't want to drink too much. Someone's gotta drive us home." I smirk, but grab the cup anyways.

Michael laughs at the screen on his phone. Not a loud laugh, but like a quiet chuckle. I look to Violet, but she just shrugs begins undressing. My face reddens and I quickly look down as Michael looks up admiring her naked body.

Michael downs the rest of his drink and begins undressing himself. I look up at the wrong time as I catch a glimpse of his butt whilst he's diving in.

I continue to sip from my drink and observe Michael and Violet splashing each other, obviously too drunk to care. "Get in!" Violet slurs.

"Y-yes! The water-the water's fine!" Michael stammers. I shake my head and continue to sip. I move up a little only to place my feet in the water. I sigh as I start to feel my head get dizzy which wasn't my plan for the night.

"Looks like someone's having fun." Luke's voice stirs from behind me, and his footsteps becoming more noticeable.

I jump up from my position making water splash my ankles. "Luke!"

"Down girl." He smirks.

I look him up and down, and sit back down in my position as earlier now watching Michael and Violet in full on make out session. "Why are you here?"

"Mike said that you were whining because you wanted to know how I was doing, so here I am. Happy?" Luke says sitting down next to me.

"If you came here to be rude, save it. Excuse me for looking out for you."

"See that's the thing. I don't need you to look out for me. I don't need your pity either."

"You think that's what I'm doing? Pitying you?"

Luke bites on his lip ring and looks away from me not saying anything. "Why haven't you left yet?" He asks quietly, looking over the water.

"What'd you mean?"

"Never mind." Luke groans in frustration. "Forget about it."

"No tell me. Don't just bring up the subject and drop it."

"Forget about it, Madison." Luke says through clenched teeth.

I knew he was about to be set off, but I didn't care. He doesn't scare me. "Just tell me."

"I said forget it!" Luke raises his voice, making Violet and Michael jump away from each other and start giggling. "C'mon guys, we're leaving!" Luke calls out to them.

"But we're not ready." Violet whines.

"And you can thank Madison for that." Luke sneers. "Now c'mon."

They both sigh in unison and swim back to the dock. They both climb up unfazed by the fact that they were naked. Luke looks away and starts walking back to the car and that's when I realized he walked. "Did you walk here?"

"Someone had to drive you all home."

"Hello? I'm sober you know."

"Whatever, just get them in the car."

"I'm not their babysitter." I cross my arms and confine to the front seat.

Luke rolls his eyes and walks over to them to make sure they weren't fucking out in the open.

"Violet can stay here with you. I'll take Mike home." Luke nods and walks back to his car.

"You can stay."

"I'll be fine."

"Stay." I place my hand on his arm and he jerks away, giving me a death glare.

"Luke, just stay. I want you to stay." I say sternly.

"Tell me something." Luke sneers nearing me. "Is it the tattoos that make you want me? Is it my reputation? Tell me what it is that makes you want me, Madison, because I'm having a hard time following."

"I believe that under all that ink is a good man."

Luke takes me by my arms and presses me against the wall. "Your wrong."

I push myself off the wall and near him, making him step back until he's against the wall. "I believe that under the mask you hide under everyday is a scared, vulnerable, innocent man."

"But that's where you wrong." Luke says, pushing himself from the wall, but I don't move.

"Am I?"

"I cant be who you want me to be. I'm not good for you."

"Then let me be good for you."

"What about everyone else. Think about how everyone else will react when they find out your with a monster like me. I'll mess up. I'll mess up so bad there wont be any turning back. I'll lose you." Luke picks me up and I'm sitting in his arms.

"Nobody's perfect, Luke. We're going to mess up. I'll mess up too, but we'll spend everyday making it up to each other. And fuck everyone else. I don't care what they have to say."

"Kiss me then."
