I spent the whole weekend crying. Just... crying. I did not think I could have cried so much until then. I was locked in my room. Quinn gave me food three times a day. But usually I slept until the afternoon. Those three days were like eternity. Mom made a call to the school saying that I was sick.

Dad warned me not to talk to Lucas. I knew he was serious. I didn't want anything happening to Lucas because of me.

Gale tried to sneak in. But Quinn saw her and locked my windows. I felt like Rapunzel. Locked in a tower with only a window.

On Friday, I tried sneaking out. My closet was connected to Michelle's room. But the door was also locked. I had no way out.

Seth said Lucas called. My phone got taken away by dad. I told Seth to tell Lucas that I was not allowed to talk to him.

On Saturday, Michelle went into my room. She admitted that she did not like Lucas. She did not want me to get hurt again. I told her he would never hurt me. And she said, "I'll try to get along with him."

On Sunday, I was only allowed out because I had to go to church. But once we were back, I was locked again.

"Sapphire?" Michelle entered my room, "Let's go. Jimmy is sending us."

I picked up my bag and walked towards her, "Hey, Michelle. Can you promise me something?" I didn't wait for her answer. "Tell Lucas that... I need space. Tell him I can't talk to him right now."

♛♕

"Michelle I can't do this," I whispered. "Go on without me. I'll follow you."

She frowned at me. "You might run away."

I pointed at Jimmy, "He won't let me. I promise."

She pursed her lips before getting out of the car.

To be honest there were two reasons. One being that I was scared. Nervous. Maybe even terrified. Second because I looked like shit compared to Michelle. Mich was wearing the school uniform perfectly. The tie was straight, the shirt was buttoned and her hair was loose. She was wearing her grey boots. We were free to wear any shoes. However, I didn't know how to tie a tie, so I looked like shit, I didn't button my shirt. My skirt was a size too tight and I wore my black high cut converse.

"Miss Sapphire," Jimmy smiled weakly at me from the rear view mirror. "I don't think he'll hate you. If anything, he'll do everything to try and talk to you."

I returned the smile but shook my head, "How do you know?"

He chuckled, "I'm a guy Miss. I know how they think."

I just smiled at him.

It was almost time for class.

I sighed and said a quick goodbye to Jimmy before leaving the car.

Students looked at me and I lowered my head, quickly walking through the car park.

When I entered the school, he was already there. He was wearing the uniform. He looked so well groomed and mature with his black pants, except for his hair though, no one can tame his hair. He looked perfectly fine, but he had dark rings under his eyes. Just like me. But there wasn't any signs of tears.

See Sapphire, he doesn't feel the same way.

"Luce!" He shouted, running towards me.

I can't.

He was about to hug me but I put my hand up to stop him.

"Luce," he whispered. "What're you doing?"

My eyes started tearing up, "I'm sorry Lucas. I just... I just can't." I can't do this. I can't talk to him.

I bet I looked like shit. I need to go.

I ran away just before the first tear escaped my eyes.
