So hmm I left y'all with a cliff hanger last chapter didn't I? Welp, do not worry you haven't been hanging for long. Hope you enjoy this chapter it was quite complicated for me to write. SO i haven't been here for a long while, but I'm back and practically begging for reviews.
I can't believe its him. I swear something, anything, some thing must be happening here it can't all be one big coincidence, there's something so much bigger something I don't know yet something I nee- RINNGG! I'm interrupted from my thoughts by the ring of the bell for next period. I can't believe that the period ended so quickly, I get up from my chair not acknowledging anyone almost as if I'm on autopilot. "Lux wait for me" I hear Jo say as I walk out the class. My feet are moving but I have no idea whats controlling them, its like they have a mind of their own. As I sit in second period staring at the blank smart board waiting for class to begin I realize how lucky I am I don't have to see Jo until lunch.
I sit through four more periods until lunch comes, and I'm glad that I don't have anymore classes with Luther, I love how when he introduced himself he said Dynasty before Luther , it's so 19th century, straight out of a romance novel, and that name Dynasty it seems so grand, so resplendent. What am I talking about? I don't know this guy, he's probably a stalker. "Lux I am so tired of this silent treatment and you better be goddamnit lucky its your birthday because if it wasn't I wo-" "I'm sorry" I say interrupting Jo before she goes off on a tangent about how she'd kill me and whatsoever. "Okay now sit down and let your tired best friend buy you lunch" she says as we reach our table. Our table is exactly that our table, no one else has ever sat there before and its weird because it's an actual table, the table fits about twelve people but is only ever seated by two. As I sit down while Jo goes towards the lunch line I think about everything today, especially the head ache. I can't seem to get my mind off it, it was so sudden and so out of the blue. But the pain, the pain was something I never thought id be able to take, no actually I didn't take it. I nearly died experiencing it.
"Are you okay?" a voice startles me away from my thoughts, I look up and see the person I'd never wanted to. "I'm sorry?" I ask as Luther takes a seat next to me somehow interpreting my question as an invitation for a conversation. "You in the parking lot, it seemed like you were in a great deal of pain" he says staring at me oh god he's probably here to laugh in my face for leaving the way I did "You don't need to be embarrassed by it" How did he know I was embarrassed? "I mean, I saw the look on your face and in all honesty if I was in your place i would've ran too" he says never leaving his eyes off me somehow studying me "I didn't run I had to go to first period" I say challenging this stranger "Oh ok, by the way I'm Luther" "I know. First period" Obviously he saw me, I mean how couldn't he, I look behind me and see Jo approaching our table "Well, I just wanted to see if you were okay. Oh and By the way Happy birthday" he says getting up from the table. "How'd you know it was my birthday?" I ask in astonishment "I know a lot more about you then you'd think" He says turning his heel, and with a turn of my head he was gone. No literally he was gone, as in not there. As in maybe I imagined that whole conversation.
"What did the new guy want?" Jo asks confirming my theory of Luther being a figment of my imagination false "He's real handsome, not like these boyish guys in our school" She says placing my plate in front of me. "Oh he just needed directions" I told Jo, no I mean I lied to Jo. I have never lied to her about anything. I cant believe the lie just came out of my mouth so freely. "oh, well any way what are we doing for the big one six?" she asks. "As usual nothing , you know I hate my birthday more than anything""You never know maybe this year would be different" And after that we'd ate talking about small things here and there but my mind kept wandering towards Luther and his comment.
The day seems to just go by in a blur I don't see Luther anymore, and surprisingly I wanted to. By the end of the day I tell Jo I'm going to walk home and even with all her protest she agreed, and reminded me that she'd be meeting me at the pizza parlor at eight. I don't know why I wanted to walk home, especially when it's not a small walk whatsoever, but i thought that I needed time to think, and that's true I do. In the midst of me being in midthought I hear a loud scream "HELP, SOMEONE HELP" I try to find the direction towards the scream, looking everywhere until i finally see a man in an alley and he has a woman pinned up against a corner. i run over there not entirely thinking of what id do but all i know is that i need to help her, how im not sure. Once i reach the alley I scream for the man to let go of her and he refuses to listen, I grab his shoulder, and quickly realize that was the wrong idea. He now has turned away and is facing me with such a disturbing grimace on his face I get scared, barely noticing the woman i tried to save has run off and left me to fend for myself.
"That was a bad choice honey" the man says after noticing what I just did. And now its me being pinned against this wall screaming for help, as he pushes closer to me reaching in his pocket and pulling out a knife. He places it against my neck" Now you see my plan wasn't to kill anyone but now since you interrupted what I had going on I have a new plan" He places the knife harder against my neck and in one more movement he'd be cutting me. I think of everything that's going on, and how I need to get away from this man and I scream stop. he doesn't listen I say it again with more anger, and the man just laughs. Which causes me to boil inside because of being helpless and unable to do anything to stop and I scream, I unleash everything and scream. And he flies, the man just flies across the alley against the steel dumpsters, probably knocked unconscious. I look at him then my hands and back to him.
did I just do that
Before i have anytime to think i hear sirens, and run. run as far as I could
I didn't touch him
Far away from the man and that alley
I swear i didn't
Running til my legs gave up on me, not running in one direction but all. And in the moment of pure fear someone grabs my arms and holds me. I shut my eyes, I don't know why , I don't know what or who I'd expected to be holding me but I could tell you the person whom I saw once I open my eyes was the furthest from my list of suspects. Luther. And he's smiling completely unaware of what just happened, he's just looking at me and smiling. And he opens his mouth
"Good Job, you'd done better than I'd expected"
