《Innocent Bet》Chapter 18

Summer's p.o.v
I drop the fork I was just picking at my food with. My heart starts to pick up its pace and my stomach starts to twist. My throat starts to tighten up and I begin to get dizzy. My hands starts to sweat and I wipe them on my pants repetitively as I watch him walk towards me with his friends. I shiver as he smirks at me.
All I can hear is my breathing and I sound like I'm underwater. I keep my eyes forward as he walks past our lunch table out of sight. My breathing starts to slow down as I join back into my friends conversations at the lunch table.
"Hey guys." I choke when I hear him say that from behind me.
Luke shoots a concerning look at me from across the lunch table. He places a hand from behind me between Kweenie and I. I feel like I'm gonna throw up as I stare at his hand.
"You guys going out for the football team?" He ask the guys at my table.
"Yeah." They all answer.
I feel him picking up peace's of my hair. I feel paralyzed, afraid to move or speak. I feel his leg press into my back.
"I haven't seen you in a while, Summer." He says. "How's your mom?" I can hear the mischief in his voice.
"Fine." I squeak as my hands travel to my stomach. I feel like I could pass out at any moment.
"Maybe we should catch up sometime. You and all your friends." He gets closer to my ear as I keep scooting closer to the table.
I look across the table at Luke for help, I saw his fist in a bawl and he was glaring at him.
"Or maybe just you and me." He whispers.
I feel my stomach acids traveling up.
"I gotta go." I grab my stuff and run to the bathroom.
I run into a stall and throw up into the toilet. I feel someone pull my hair back and rub my back.

Once I'm done she hands me a tissue and I wipe my mouth. I flush the toilet and lean against the stall. I start to cry.
"He won't hurt you anymore." Bella whispers.
"I'm so scared Bella." I grab her hand. I'm shaking like crazy.
"He can't hurt you anymore." Bella says.
"He's still here though. Bothering me."
"Luke's gonna have a little talk with the school." Bella says. "Let's get you cleaned up." She walks me over to the sink and turns the water on.
I look at myself in disgust.
"I just wanna go home." I tell her.
"I'll text Luke." She pulls out her phone sending him a quick text before going back to cleaning me up.

We're in Luke's car on the way home.
"Why didn't you help me?" I ask him looking out the window as we pull out of the parking lot.
"I knew he wasn't going to do anything with me there." Luke says.
"But what if he did."
"I would've grabbed his throat and drag him to the office." His grip tightens on the steering wheel. "Nobody hurts my girl." He growls.
"I feel so gross." I put my face in my hands and cry.
Luke pulls my hand away from my face and holds it.
"I can't believe he had the nerve." He shakes his head. "I informed the school and he won't be attending anymore." He then rubs the top of my head. "I love you."
"I love you too." I breath out. "I just want to take a long shower."
Luke starts to speed up. A shiver goes down my spine as I'm reminded of that night. I feel gross. I hope nobody else has to go through this, and if they did I want them to talk to someone. I want to just hug them, my heart aches for them.
I'm afraid to go to sleep because I'll just think about it. I feel so gross.

I stand in the kitchen behind Luke awkwardly after taking what felt like the longest shower of the century. I'm wearing Nike sweatpants and a cheer hoodie. My hands are tucked in my sleeves as I play with them.
Luke turns and smiles at me. I give him a small smile back.
He slowly walks towards me and as he reaches his hand out towards me I feel myself backing away.
He holds out his hand.
"Just give me your hand babe." I place my hand in his. "I love you." Luke moves his body closer to me, cautiously.
He pulls me into a hug and kisses the top of my head.
"Nobody's gonna hurt my Girl anymore."
"Let's Go on a Walk." I say quietly.
"Okay." He pulls away and drags me toward the door.
I grab Duke's leash and put it on him and then put on my shoes. Luke holds the door open for me as Duke drags me out.
Luke ruffles my hair and I look up at him with a small smile. His eyes are questioning but there's a smile playing at his lips.
"I'm okay. I feel better." I tell him.
"How'd you know?" He tilts his head.
"I can see it in your eyes."
"Corny." He laughs.
"I fell in love with those eyes Luke. I can tell how you're feeling just by studying your face and your eyes give it away. It's always your eyes."
"I fell in love with you." He keeps it short as he lowers his head and places his hands in his pockets.
"The way you care for me. Makes my heart flutter." I begin, "You're protective and dominant and it turns me on." I laugh and he chuckles, "You seem like an asshole but who knew that I would fall in love with my most favorite thing about you besides your face, your personality." I look down at Duke as he sniffs around. "Even if we were to part ways and find someone else, I will always love you."
"I can't picture myself with anyone but you." He sighs, "I'm sure I'm the only one who can put up with your little stubborn ass."
"Hey!" I couldn't help but smile.
"You're the most beautiful person I've ever laid my eyes on. You being constantly hot is just a bonus." We both get quiet and I can feel myself blush.
We turn around and start walking back home. I look at my surroundings and take it all in. I'm a small girl from a small town with a great boyfriend and an amazing life. I'm living someone's dream life. My heart sinks thinking that.
"Summer."
"Hmm." I come back to reality.
"I want to be with you forever. I want you to be the mother to my child. I want you to always wake up next to me and be the first person I see every morning and last person I see every night. I'm so in love with you it drives me crazy."
"I'm too young to get married!" I blurt.
Luke stops in his tracks and so do I as I jerk the dog back a little. Well fudge this is where I become single. Luke then starts laughing.
"What!" I whine.
"I wasn't proposing silly, I was gonna give you a promise ring." He says kissing my forehead.
"Oh, that makes me feel much better."
"One day I can give you my last name." He smiles as he pulls out the ring.
It's gold and it has his name engraved into it. He slides it on my finger and I stare at it. I love it.
"I love you Luke."
"I love you too Summer."
We both go in for a kiss. A very passionate and slow kiss as the sunsets behind us.
