《Different》Chapter 39
Advertisement
I decided to make a chapter with Luke's POV too. It starts about in the middle of the chapter. Enjoy!
***
We stay silent for about 10 seconds. "Luke?" I say, breaking it. There's no answer, so I sit in silence, thinking.
I have to be here for him. Especially now, that he's going to tell me his deepest secret. At least I think it is. The way he's been hiding it, I'm pretty sure it is. Maybe, it's his worst memory. He finally trusts me enough to tell me it.
But he shouldn't trust me. I just cheated on him.
The guilt is washing over me and it feels terrible. I fucked up. Badly. And now, knowing that Jack is cutting himself because of me, this feels even more wrong. I know he enjoyed it, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't but that doesn't make it right.
"Luke?" I nudge him but still no answer.
Is he asleep?
I decide on leaving and letting him be but then he finally murmurs something. "You awake?" I ask him and he murmurs something again.
Okay I guess he's awake.
I sit next to him again and he sits too. The silence between us is deafening. Why won't he just talk? Jesus Christ.
Suddenly, he hugs me. I react, by jumping a bit, but then I hug him back. He buries his head in my shoulder. It doesn't take long until my shirt feels wet and cold. My grip around him tightens and I start stroking his hair, telling him it's okay.
"Shh."
He looks up at me. All I can see is his shadow, since it's dark but I know that his eyes are all red. I really do feel bad for him.
"You wanna tell me?" I whisper softly.
"Yeah."
I remain silent and so does he. Then, he takes a deep breath, "ever since I was little, I never had too good of a relationship with my father," he starts and I listen to him carefully.
"You see, about the time I was born, he went to jail because he did some shit. I don't know exactly what he did because he never wanted to tell me, but honestly, I don't wanna know. I do know he was locked up for 7 years. So I never really had a father in my life. We were poor. It was only my mom and I. I know she was always working so hard just to earn a little bit of money. Just so we could survive." His voice is shaky, so I grab his hand.
So he wasn't rich when he was younger? I wonder where he got all the money he has now.
"When he came out of jail, I know I was angry with him for a while. I mean, that's the first time I ever saw him and now remember it. He was being really nice. I know he was trying but I didn't care. Now, I wish I wasn't so stuck up for those few months." He's getting angry now, because I can feel his grip on my hand getting stronger and stronger.

"What happened?" I ask him quietly.
"One day - I remember it like it was yesterday - me and my dad were playing outside and then my mother called us inside, so we could all have lunch. After lunch my dad had to leave for work. When he left my mother sent me to my room. I was really confused but I did it anyways. A few minutes passed and I heard the doorbell ring. I thought dad came back. So I ran to the kitchen and there she was. My mother kissed a man. But that man wasn't my father. It was his goddamn best friend!" Luke yells. I try to move or say something but I can't. I'm in shock.
Luke saw his mother cheating?
That's something you don't forget. Or forgive.
"A-and then, like it were planned, my dad's car pulls up in the driveway. My mom sees him and starts panicking. She wanted to hide him but my dad saw it already. He freaked out and the guy went home. I was so scared. They were yelling at eachother for the entire day. Then dad lost it and went upstairs, where I was. In my room. I heard the door shut and then all I could hear was my mom's weeping. Like she cared. Fucking cheating bitch." After that he stops talking. And I looked at him.
"That's it?" I ask him and he doesn't say anything.
"Hey baby, are you okay?" I caress his cheek and he shakes his head.
"It was time for dinner," he starts talking again. "I was in my room for the entire day, being scared. At first I didn't wanna come downstairs and have dinner with both of them. I was scared they would be yelling at eachother. But my mom came to get me so I gave up. Before I went downstairs, I had to wash my hands in the bathroom..." he gulps.
Luke's POV
Fuck I'm so angry right now. And I feel like a little bitch. Like a girl. Since when am I like a girl? I'm literally crying in front of my girlfriend. What's next? We're gonna do our makeup and mani-pedies? I feel so gay.
Fuck this shit man.
Fuck mom and dad for messing me up, fuck me for crying and fuck Em for hanging out with that jackass.
Get it?
Jackass?
I'm so funny.
This is not the time to be funny. But at least I'll stop crying.
Okay we all know that's a lie. Should I continue with the fucked up story? Probably not. Will I? Yes.
To be honest, I don't even know why I'm telling her all of this. She's the reason I got drunk in the first place. I should've been happy today, since I got so much money with gambling but then she had to ruin it with Jack and his brother problems or whatever the fuck that was.

She probably lied about it too and cheated on me.
I don't even know why I'm still putting up with her. Oh yeah. I love her. But I hate it how she's probably cheating on me, not giving a shit. I wanna kill Jack sometimes. Or just show him his place. Show him that she's only mine.
Okay where was I? Oh yeah the bathroom. She's asking me something right now, if I'm okay and shit like that. I've been quiet for a minute now.
"I opened the door and.." my voice breaks. Fuck this is hard. And fucked up. I have to tell her though, "he was there, hanging from the ceili-" I break down like the little bitch I am and Em hugs me, stroking my hair.
I hate being so vulnerable.
And why does she smell like someone else's cologne?
After a while I look at her, even though it's dark, "how could he Em? How could he do this to me? Did I not mean anything to him? Don't I mean anything to anyone? Am I that terrible? I just wanna be loved for fuck's sake!"
Where the fuck did that come from? I mean, it's been a while since I talked about dad with anyone. But I never expected this to happen.
"Luke-" "and you know what happened then?" I cut her off. "My mother married the son of a bitch! And now she's living the rich life while my dad's buried six feet deep under her fucking feet! And the best part is, she doesn't care. She doesn't give a shit that she ruined his life and killed him!" I get up.
I have to get away from Em. I feel like I'm gonna burst and she can't see me like that.
I know I've had anger issues ever since dad died. I was also seeing a therapist for a while. Until I got so angry at my mom for making me go there and broke a chair. Then I stopped going. I must admit that it's been better ever since I met Em. She makes me a better person. I don't know what I'd do if i lost her. Sure, she makes me angry a lot but I still love her.
I head towards the door but she stops me by stepping in front of me. "You're not leaving," she says. I'm on the verge of killing someone and she's making it all worse. Can't she just leave me alone for fuck's sake? I go around her, opening the door.
"Luke," she grabs my arm.
"Em, trust me, you don't wanna be near me right now," I warn her, but of course she doesn't listen to me and follows me out the door.
"I'm not leaving you alone," she insists, walking behind me.
I stop and look at her, "listen to me. I'm about to lose my shit and I don't want you near me when that happens okay?" I give her a deadly look and she gulps, nodding. Thank god. She goes back inside, probably to go to sleep.
I walk around in the dark, hoping to run into someone so I can beat the shit out of them. That's the only way my anger will get better. But of course no one is outside.
The universe can suck a big fat dick.
I could pay a visit to Jack but I don't want Em to get all angry. She does turn me on when she's mad, but still. I lowkey wanna fuck her right now.
Maybe I should make her mad?
How am I thinking about Emma right now? She's driving me insane. Everything is.
Slowly, I walk back to my apartment, into Emma's room. I don't say anything to her. All I do is lay next to her, letting her hug me as I try not to cry.
"Later, I found out that he came back to get his wallet," I say to her after what feels like hours. "All of this because of a wallet. And my whore of a mother," I half laugh. My life is so pathetic. I'm pathetic. If it weren't for Dylan and Em, I wouldn't have a thing to live for.
So much shit has happened to me, it's getting funny. A year after my dad died, my best friend did also. I won't talk about that though. Never did with anyone and I'm keeping it that way. Not even Dylan knows about this. Only my mom.
"I'm so pathetic Em," I say and she moves, now looking at me, even though she cant really see me. "Don't say that!" She gets angry. Well great. Now she's lying too! Fuck my life man. I don't respond, I only put my head back where it was and she does the same.
I like it better that way. No talking. Just us, laying in bed.
I wish it could stay like this forever.
I almost fall asleep, when loud banging on the door wakes us both up.
"Now who the fuck is banging on the door in 3 in the morning," I growl as Em gets up to open it.
