Luke’s POVFrom the night we found her caught in our trap in the woods, there was something different about her. I couldn't tell if it was in a good way or a bad way. And as I watched her grow conscious, there was something in her eyes that made me think she would have a hard time trusting us completely. And when she told me why she was on the run, her story sounded even more tragic to me than before, and I began thinking it wasn't just me imagining things. She wasn't really telling me all she was trying to do, and I had no idea who she really was.Sara was like a puzzle, I couldn't piece together - one of my favorite things to do was play with pieces and try to figure them out. But for some reason I kept losing sight of what I was supposed to be doing. And maybe I never would understand Sara.It was as if the more I tried to understand her, the less I could. Like a part of me that didn't want to. Maybe it was because she was so beautiful - but that didn't feel right either. It fe
Luke's POV“He was here, he was here. I didn't make it up, oh god,” She sobbed uncontrollably as tears flowed freely from her blue eyes and her shoulders shook terribly. “He was here.” Her voice quivered so much that I barely got anything out. All I did was rub circles on her back to calm her down while I held onto her tighter.It happened so fast as if a thought had just crossed her mind, the way her eyes grew wide as if something hit her head, like dots connected, She pushed me away as quickly as she could before crawling on my butt to get away from me as if I had some contagious disease.She didn't stop crawling on her butt until she got to the other end of the room and I couldn't do anything but stare in shock and disbelief. Who was this woman? What was going on in her mind? How did her head work? I was confused.“Don't touch me please don’t touch me please.” She chanted repeatedly. It didn’t stop her body from trembling. And the words were forced out from her mouth as if her th
Luka’s POVIt didn't make sense to me, none of it made any sense to me.What did she mean by I was in love with Emily? it seemed so absurd that she had even said that, it made absolutely no sense, and I knew that but I couldn't seem to get away from her. There was no way I was in love with Emily , Emily was not my type at all, not even close, in fact, I could only ever find myself thinking about the one thing I wanted in this whole wide world, which she was not, because if we were together, then my life would have been nothing like what I thought it would be, if we had ever been together.I loved Portia, I have always loved her since we were little kids. Her smile made everything brighter and less painful for me in that world. Her eyes were so full of joy and curiosity, and yet they looked so tired sometimes, like a cat who is used to sleeping late in the afternoon and is now waking up every hour to sleep again until noon, and her laugh was always contagious, it made us both laugh
Emily’s POVI woke up to a sharp pain running through my head and the endless beeps of machines that were agonizing.Everything was throbbing, making the rest of my body feel heavier than usual. I groaned as I tried shifting, but it only made the dull ache in my skull worse. The bright light above me wasn't helping either. It was too much. My eyes slowly opened, vision blurry and vision unfocused until all was clear. “Ugh” I groaned loudly as the blinding lights and plain white walls constructed against my eyes.It looked like someone had painted a picture of a hospital room. It was hard not to think about how I’d died when I just woke up in one for the first time.It was a whole dèjá vu feeling. As if my body remembered every moment I’d gone through. My eyes took in my surroundings again, this time with more depth. A couple of empty chairs sat next to my bed with a small window.There were IV poles on each of them but they didn’t seem connected to anything except for me.I tried to
Luke’s POvTwo things were pretty clear to me. One, Sara was to be watched with great care because she was currently going through something that had awoken her demons and secondly, I was going to get her to talk to someone - even if it wasn't me, because I could relate to how therapeutic talking is.It was a miracle that she was currently sitting calmly beside me. a miracle that the child in her womb was alive. I helped fasten her seatbelt, surprised that she let me without protesting or maybe it was because she was fed up with the hospital and wanted to get as far away from it as possible.She was ready to leave it all behind her. As we drove away, I noticed that she kept looking over at the road, her mouth twisted in anger and her eyes narrowed like they usually did when she was frustrated.Then I watched her close her eyes and when she opened them and fixed them back on the road, I noticed something was wrong. First, it was the fear I saw in her eyes before I noticed that she was
Unknown POVAnger coursed through my body. The adrenaline pumping through my veins left a bitter taste in the back of my mouth, and it felt as if my chest were caving in. I tried to take deep breaths through my nose but they wouldn’t help. My mind raced with ideas for a distraction as the anger grew in intensity. I didn’t think anything could make this worse, however, the feeling persisted and grew stronger. “This is ridiculous!” The words flew out of my mouth as soon as they formed. A wave of anger was building up inside me. I wanted to scream. I had never wanted anything more than to unleash the fury inside me. But now. Now I couldn’t. I had to be calm, and quiet. I had to stay in control. “You can't let him win, you have to win…” I said under my breath, thinking. That would keep my emotions under check. I needed to keep my focus. “You are not the loser here” The image of his face appeared before me. He was still grinning at her while I stood there stunned from shock. Anger su
Luke’s POVI decided to take a break later that evening to my favorite spot. Funny how it was still my favorite even though it held memories of the things I didn't want to remember anymore. It wasn't hard at all for me to get there, considering its location. A good walk would do wonders for clearing my head.It held too much of memories of her, of us, of everything she meant to me in this world and that. Her smile, eyes, hair, and voice were etched into the memory so deeply that sometimes I could feel them. My hands remembered every inch of her body. The way she felt. What I felt when she kissed me, what we did together. The way she screamed at me in the middle of our unruly passion . How we both got out of bed in the morning, smiling at each other like fools in love. She made me laugh. Made me happy. That was when things changed between us. I realized how one-sided it had been, she didn't feel the same way about me as I did about her. If she had, she would never have done what s
Emily’s POV“How long have I been here?” I was finally calm and my demons had quieted some.I had lost everything when it felt like I had fallen through the portal into this strange world. My powers had returned in the moment- my mental powers.“It has been a week. You were unconscious”“A week?” That’s all it took for me to go back into a panic again. A week and nothing had changed. I was still stuck in this roller coaster called life. I didn't succeed in leaving it behind.“Calm down Sara, everything is fine,” Luke said with a small smile on his face and placed a hand on my arm as if he had done that before. Of course, it was easy for him to say that it was fine even when it wasn't. The fact that he couldn’t see or feel what I could didn’t make it better by any means. Then it struck me! my baby!I sat up so fast my eyes got dizzy.Luke looked at me, puzzled, then smiled softly and shook his head. “Your baby is alright Sara, it's a miracle that the little guy or girl is still
