"Oh perfect timing, you found me!" Luke said as I stormed into the bar
"What the FUCK did you tell him?!" I shouted. Drawing attention on the three of us
"Everything he needed to know about you" Luke stood up, staring me right in the eyes
"You mother fucker! You probably left out the parts of you bringing-"
"Bringing home other girls? Yeah, I told him about that" Luke smirked at me
"Or when you used to fucking ABUSE ME! I still have SCARS!" I screamed
"Oh yeah? From the nights that you came to my apartment drunk and could barely stand up?" I balled my hands into tight fists and slapped him across the face.
"No, from the times you would hit me because I didn't want to go to the bar with you, or when another guy would hit on me! Because that was 'obviously' MY FAULT?" I was so done with this man. With the little dignity I had left, I swore at him once again and left the bar.
So much for starting over with Grayson. So much for a new life, one that's far away from Luke.
I slammed my palms on the steering wheel and drove off. I couldn't be around him anymore, let alone Grayson. At least this time he wouldn't be chasing after me.
As I pulled into my driveway, I got out and swung the front door open and ran up into my room. Grayson could expose so much about me now, just like Luke already was.
I wasn't that person anymore, that person isn't me. Luke turned all of my horrible times against me and now Grayson knows about them. Sure, he might have twisted it a bit but I know for a damn fact that he told him everything.
Tears streamed down my face as I gripped my hair. I swear I could rip it all out.
I paced back and fourth, I could never show my face ever again. At least not around Grayson. But now Luke was going to tell Melody and Annie and oh my fucking god. It felt like I was having a heart attack.
I trusted him with SO much, and this is what I get in return
The front door opened, I just assumed it was dad
I wanted to just leave, pack up and go. But I had no where else to stay. Melodys and Annie's houses weren't that far away from here and Grandma is fucking dead-
"Loni" I froze. My back was facing him as he said my name
"Why are you here? You should hate me or be scared of me or SOMETHING" I shouted to Grayson.
"I'm not listening to him anymore, whether what he told me was true or not I'm done. It's in the past, and I understand what it's like to go a bit crazy after you loose or come close to loosing everything." He said. Hot tears rolled off my cheeks as I crossed my arms.
"You can't tell this to anyone! You're the only person besides me and Luke that knows about my past. I'm sorry. I'm sorry you had to hear that, I told you I'm not the perfect girl you think I am. I was fucked up back then and If I could change it, I would within SECONDS." I shook my head and sat down on the edge of my bed. Grayson sat right next to me and wrapped one of his arms around my shoulder, pulling my head into his chest as he held me tightly.
"It's okay, you're secrets are safe with me" Grayson softly said into my ear
"But they're not safe with him" another tear rolled down my cheek as my chest tightened. It felt like I was going to explode. So much pain and hurt washed over my entire body
Grayson lifted my head and looked me right in the eyes, wiping the tears away from my face
"Look at me Loni" I struggled to hold his gaze with my red eyes
"We'll figure him out. I promise" I nodded my head. I didn't wanna argue with him anymore because that's all that seemed to be happening when we were together.
"Nothing changes about us, after everything that happened, I don't see you any differently then I did two hours ago." Grayson spoke
"I cant do it anymore grayson, I'm sick to my stomach just thinking about the past me. He always brought out the worst of me, pushed me to my limits every fucking day and made my life literal hell" I shook my head
"I just want out, I want this to all go away. I want him to go away" more tears slipped from my eyes as he gave me a soft smile
"Do you still trust me?" Grayson asked
"W-What?" I was unsure of what he meant
"You wanna get away for a bit?"
"That's not what I meant by I want to get out-" "I know, but your way isn't acceptable and is definitely not going to happen" he cut me off, and grabbed my hand. Pulling me up
"Please, I need you to trust me. Don't worry, I will take care of him. But for now, I have a surprise" he smiled and moved some hair behind my ear
"Pack light okay?" He said
"Pack? Grayson we have school and stuff-"
"Do you wanna get away or not?" He answered. I just stared at him and grabbed one of my backpacks. Stuffing some clothes in it.
Once I was done packing my necessities, he took my hand and lead me to his car.
"You're gonna love it" He said
"How long are we staying at this place?" I asked as I put on my seat belt
"Not long" he said and drove off, I texted dad that I was gonna be gone for a bit stared out of the window. Watching trees go by as he continued to drive
After about 30 minutes passed we pulled up into a drive way, where a huge log cabin was.
"I haven't been here in years" he said as we got out of the car
"W-What? How is this yours? I thought you had to move here because of your family, and the money situation?" If he didn't have any money then how in the hell was this his?
"It's not mine, but for the next couple days it is" he smiled at me and walked to the back of the car, grabbing our back packs.
