jude.
dad left the same day.
it was total chaos.
mom was a mess.
i was angry.
dad was drenched in regret.
luke called me and asked me to go to his house.
i agreed and when i arrived he was sitting on the porch's steps, going mindlessly through his phone.
he looked up when he heard my footsteps. he didn't stand up but smiled as i approached him. i sat down beside him and he swung his arm around me, hugging me to his chest. i smiled and closed my eyes. "hi," he said quietly.
"hey,"
"what's wrong?" he asked.
of course he knows something is wrong.
of course.
i can't even hide my embarrassment.
i sighed and opened my eyes. "it's my dad...he wants to come back," i shrugged and but he didn't say anything.
luke had no words for anyone's problems. not even his own.
but i felt myself slipping. i needed something. some words. someone to tell me all this chaos would end and i would be okay. that everything would. and deep down, i knew leo would grant me that even though it was not right to think of another's guy comfort when you were with your boyfriend.
