beautifully broken

Chapter 17

We stood in the water only focusing on each other nothing more, nothing less

"Luke you know Michael would kill us and-"

"He can't kill love ray we just have to keep fighting that's only if your up for it... we would be castaways together"

" we would... and I found my saviour"

"And I found mine... we better get back before anyone realises we are gone" He smiles keeping his now cold hand on my cheek. This was really happening, we were gonna fight for each other, but I knew deep down I couldn't let it get too far that Michael and luke lost their friendship over me

I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that the boy I was cuddled up with sacrificed his ten plus year friendship for me. For love.

We walked hand in hand back to the car, collecting our clothes on the way, where he pulled out towels again handing me one

I smiled and just as I finish drying my hair he puts his fingers under my chin gently making me look at him

"I have one more gift... this would prove that I promise to always fight for us"

He digs around in his pocket pulling a small silver ring with a rose one, he gently takes my hand and slips the ring on my middle finger

"Luke this is beautiful I can't take this I-"

"You can take this and you will... for me"

I smiled and he pecks my lips before jumping in the car, I smile taking everything in for a second before jumping in myself

He takes us home and we sneak in getting in unseen

We kiss in the hallways before going to our rooms

I walk into my door and close it behind me

"Raya"

I jump seeing Michael sitting on my bed

"Where have you been?"

"Why are you in my fucking room?!"

"Where have you been raya?"

"With Luke and guess what I fucking love him!!" I was fed up with lying to him, it was exhausting.

"Ray.. I don't want you getting hurt.. I want what's best for you"

"You want what's best for me? Michael I love luke.. I'm happy with him. He makes me happy. What is so bad with that.. this is the one time someone has seen me for who I am and not my brother.. let me have this Michael.. let me be happy please.. let us be happy"

"Ray.. I can't-"

"Fuck you michael"

I run down the hall to lukes room a few tears running down my face I hear his shower running and quiet humming

I strip off my wet clothes walking into his bathroom

He jumps seeing me but I step in with him not taking advantage.. I just wanted to be with him.. he pulled me into his chest not breaking eye contact with me

Not once did he take advantage of me in the situation we were in.. his eyes gentle and his smile soft..

He washes my hair

"Thank you lu.."

"It's okay.. let's go to bed honey.."

He wraps a towel around me on around himself.. we stand in the mirror him patting my hair dry..

"Lu-"

"Shhh.." his smile nothing but gentle and comforting

He braids my wet hair tying it off at the end

He takes my hand and walking to his room he throws me a pair of his boxers and a hoodie

I smile and put them on.. he puts on boxers and climbs into bed..

I smile at him before standing going to leave his room..

"Stay" he says and lifts up the duvet for me to climb under

I cuddle into his chest hearing his steady heart beat.. I was almost asleep when I heard him whisper

"I love you too.."

He must have heard my argument with Michael..

Hey beauties it's been a while! I'm very sorry I haven't been too good but I'm back!! I also have some no school work for 4 weeks-

I've had no motivation at all but there we go.. I'm sorry for leaving you

Hope your all doing well

Love you guys <3
