Promise Me

9

Katrina's P.O.V

This was it, Luke was about to tell me that he can't hang out with me and he hates me.

"I like you Katrina Winters," Luke looked at me. I was mesmerized by those blue eyes.

I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came. I was so frustrated. I couldn't say a thing.

"Look I get it if you choose not to hang out with me. Maybe telling you how I feel wasn't the best, but that's how I feel Kat. It's okay if you don't feel the-"

I couldn't take it anymore. I pressed my lips against his. His hands roam until they find my waist. My arms wrapped around his neck. I didn't know what I was doing. My body was just moving in sync with his. After a bit, I pulled apart. I knew the thing with Kayleigh wasn't over.

"L-Luke, I think you should know something."

I hesitated, but soon I was rambling things that Kayleigh said to me earlier. But I left out the part where I had cut just moments ago. I also had to tell him about all the rumors and mean things they had said about me long ago. Luke nodded most of the time and looked at me confused, but then nodded at what I had to say after.

I started to cry. Luke noticed the tears spilling.

"Kat, stop your hurting yourself." Luke pulled ms closer to his chest. I cry, and sob, cry, sob, cry, and so on. I couldn't stop crying. The pain had hit me so hard. I had to tell him. I had to tell him the truth. I lightly push him away.

"Katrina? Are you okay?" I nod and pull up my sleeves. Luke gasps. Luke soon too started to have tears. He took my arm, and slightly rubbed it. Luke looked back up at me. His usual glowing eyes were dark and filled with tears. Luke didn't say a word. He pulled back down my sleeves and wrapped his arms around me.

He kissed my forehead while I rested on his chest. I was still crying. But not loudly. Tears were spilling though. Luke laid us down on my bed. I listened to his heart beat. It was steady. It calmed me. I was peaceful. I have never felt so sade in my entire life. Not when I was sacred of the dark and my mum stayed me the whole night, nor when I would hold Seans hand when we got ice cream.

Luke. Is my whole world. Whenever I'm around him, when I hear his laugh, see him smile, or get lost in is eyes, I seem to have a better day. Then I realized I loved Luke. I don't deny it. I am so glad, Luke came to my school. And I'm so happy I gave him that fucking pencil.

My own heart beat had calmed and I was fast asleep in the safest place in the world.
