LUCAS POV.

*

*

*

The door opened as my gaze met with hers, my heart sank seeing in her this state. She looked so weak and pale...

Her face was invaded with dark circles that formed a sac beneath her eyes and her brown and gold hair was so messy and tattered, I took in more of her features and realized she had lost weight even in that cotton shirt dress she was wearing that reached her mid-thigh.

My heart crunched painfully while I stared at her.

Her eyes widened with shock as she took her time staring at me, I knew she wasn't expecting me to be in front of her but I couldn't control myself.

I needed to see her even though it's just a glimpse well I've gone too far though, and now I'm standing in front of her.

The past week has been so unbearable for me. I hadn't been myself for not seeing that cute baby face of hers. My heart ached so bad

I called in the silent house as I closed the door behind me dropping my bag on the floor.'She can't be back from work yet,' I thought staring at the old wall clock hanging on the wall that just strike 4 O'clock.The house seemed so silent that I could hear the sound of my pumping heart drum wildly against my chest.My palms were sweaty and I could feel heat radiate all through my body as my throat we

    I rolled to the side of the soft bed as my eyes flung open suddenly remembering the fact I was in my bully's home and his room precisely.I managed to sleep soundly without having any nightmares because Lucas stubbornly slept next to me yesternight and I don't know if he was the one who drove them away.I was getting nervous for getting so calm and warm each time he wraps his arm around me instead of the normal aghast feelings I usually had towards him each time he torments me.I sat up immediately on the bed as I thought of escaping the room. I needed to go back home and face my fears I can't stay here with him, I turned to the side and placed my leg quitely on the floor.I pressed my hands on the bed as gently as I can to support myself while I glanced back quickly to make sure Lucas was still sleeping, then stood up without spoiling my plans.'Seriously being an escapee is not

    I walked into my home as all the tragic moments freshened back to my memories, Lucas drove me home so I could change into new clothes for school."Take some clothes," Lucas said walking into my room after I got dressed."Why?" I asked turning around to face him while I packed my hair up in a ponytail."Cause from now on you'll be living with me," He said as my hands dropped suddenly while my eyes registered on his face to see if it was a joke but he meant it."No! I can't Lucas, I can't!" I declined to pack some books on the table."You're my girlfriend and there's nothing wrong with you staying with me," He burst out frustratedly making me froze at my spot as I tried to process what he just said.Girlfriend...I heard him use that word in class that my heart got so flustered but I let it go simply because I thought he made it as an excus

    4 hours later, I was packing my books when the physics teacher gave us our assignment. The bell rang and Lucas stood up while I stared at him. "Wait for me here, I need to get something," He said while I nodded and smiled thinly at him as he walked out of the class. "Hey baby, I see Lucas getting all cozy with you," Leticia chirped behind me while I rolled my eyes standing up. "Where you up to?" She asked gazing at me and I held my stomach which was grumbling. "Hungry... I need to fill my stomach, I'm going for a break, are you coming along?" I asked her. "Nope, I gotta write some notes I missed in the library," She smiled zipping up her bag. "Okay," I said as I slung the straps of my bag over my shoulder. "Tell Beatrice I would see her later," She said. "I

    LUCAS POV***"Camilla! No!!" I shouted anxiously as I ran over to her, she was losing it again and then it all happened in a blink of the eye, she stabbed herself.I froze in my spot with wide eyes, shock and freight engulfed me as I stared at the blood that started oozing out of her stomach.How did things happen so quickly?My head snapped when I realized she was falling and I sped to her and caught her in my arms."Camilla! What the fuck did you?" I shouted in dismay as I held her close to me, her eyes were half closing."Why?" I questioned in agony as a tear dropped from my face on her cloth while my hand held the area of the side of the stomach where the knife was stuck."Camilla!" I shook her as I watched her face scrunch up in pain."Lu-Lucas," she muttered as she opened her eyes and looked at m

    Ben and Beatrice sat together as he wrapped his arms around her shoulder drawing her closer to himself and kissed the top of her hair lightly as he kept assuring her that Camilla would be fine.I was restless as I kept pacing back and forth waiting for a doctor to show up and tell us about Camilla's condition."Beatrice!" Someone called in a high-pitched voice as our heads turned towards the direction to See Leticia running towards us.Beatrice stood up from where she was sitting and walked a bit before Leticia covered the distance among them and pulled Beatrice in for a hug."How's she doing?" Leticia asked pulling back slightly as she placed her two hands on Beatrice's face cupping her cheeks as she stared into her eyes."W-We haven't heard anything yet, we just hope she's fine," Beatrice let out in a shaky voice as tears spilled from her face while Leticia hugged her back.

Let go, we'll be late to school," I grumbled against him.

    LUCAS'S POV.I watched Camilla tiptoe on the rink and prepared the precise skating position I told her to keep. We both went out ice skating in one of the popular Ice rinks in America and today was boxing day.My mum had left saying she would return and make things right, I couldn't bring myself to just forgive her yet because of all what I went through as a little boy and the worst thing was that She and Dad had been together for almost a year and he kept it from me all this while.Camilla's feet were at hip distance and her arms were in front of her, then she squatted slightly, just enough to find her balance.Little kids waved at her as they skated around her giggling at her, I still find it amusing when she told she didn't know how to skate.She bent her knees and looked down, probably afraid she wouldn't fall. Her shoulders were forward and she allowed herself to hold

    "Merry Christmas!" Beatrice chirped as she walked into the dining room with some pack of gifts in her hands, followed by Leticia."You're here already!" I gasped looking up from where I was busy with some decorations on the Christmas tree as I squatted... Lucas's father decided on having a little Christmas party among his family and friends... So, I invited Beatrice and Leticia to tag along."Yeah!" Beatrice smirked as she looked around the dining... I think she must be impressed with red, green, and white decorations."You two look so beautiful," I complimented acknowledging their straight glittering gown with spaghetti arms and slit from the thigh, Beatrice's gown was a shade blackish-red while Leticia's was blackish blue."Thank you!" The both of them chirped.They looked so elegant.I haven't put on my cloth since I was so busy with decorations because we

    Days and weeks rolled by and I was happy that we finally finished this term exam. Christmas was fast approaching and today being so cold, I and Lucas walked into the city with our hands clasped together.Putting on a thick coat with scarfs wrapped around our necks we walked among the crowds.New York is such a lively place to be as we strolled along the High line and down to soho where we had a local meal at Miss Lilly's.We talked and laughed walking hand in hand after leaving Miss Lilly's restaurant.We kept on walking gazing at the malls and shops already decorated in preparation for Christmas.Kids ran in the street happily with balloons in their hands or a stick of sweet."Is your legs weary?" Lucas asked as we strutted the street."Nope!" I smiled wrapping my booth hands around his left arm, clinging to him as he brought his right t

    I was in the library trying to look for a new amplified biology textbook... Lucas was sitting at the corner of the library waiting for me.We just had finished two papers not so long and I wanted to get the textbook, so he and I could study together.I was trailing my fingers on the books arranged neatly on the shelves.'Where's this textbook?' I thought annoyingly remembering quite well, I saw it at this particular spot I was searching for."Show yourself!" I muttered squatting to check the books arranged below the shelf."Hahaha! Gotcha!" I smiled at last feeling relieved I'd seen the book I was looking for sinceI heard steps behind and I stood up turning around to see who it was.The textbook in my hands fell as I began shaking visibly... Taking my steps back."Damien!" I muttered, he still had bandages wrapped ar

    "Hmmm!" I mumbled incoherently as I turned to the side of the bed and stretched my hand.My hand hit something hard as I patted it lightly before shooting my eyes open to see Lucas staring at me with a bright smile on his face while my hand was on his chest."Good morning sunshine," He greeted Leaning closer to me as he kissed my lips dearly."Good morning" I smiled snuggling closer to him as I pressed my head on his chest.He patted my hair as we both entangled our hands together with the duvet covering our naked bodies.Memories of yesterday came flashing into my head and I couldn't help but grin crazily.That is something I would never forget in my life... I loved every aspect of how he handled my body like I was some sort of Goddess.This wasn't any sex but lovemaking."How do you feel about yesterday?" He asked s
