His evil smirk taunted me. Oh no, I feel another flashback coming on.
Start of Flashback.
"Why is a girl like you doing in a place like this" he asked.
We were sitting in a club. It was the summer after freshman year. My friends were dancing the night away, probably drunk. I was too busy thinking. The car crash happened only a few days ago.
"I should be asking you why you're here" I retorted.
"Katie, still upset that Jake dumped you? You sound bitter, maybe I could that fix," he countered,
"Leave me alone, Luke"
"Surprise, I'll be visiting a few hockey friends who live here, all summer long. Let's celebrate, shall we? Yo, bartender, two please."
"Okay, what do you want?"
"A bit grouchy I see, this will calm you down" he observed as he thrusts a cup of alcohol. He watches me until I took a sip of whatever it was. Disgusted, I swallow some pills instead.
He was smiling.
End of Flashback
What do you want Luke? I demanded.
"Easy, one of the two" he hinted.
"Of what?" Tori contended.
"Of the Matlin girls." he revealed.
I couldn't believe but I haven't look at the other wall but there was a huge shrine, I guess, devoted to me. It was creepy.
"So you killed Justin?" I croaked.
"Nothing to deny or approve of, but I know it was a team effort."
"So there is a group who want to stop the wedding too" I scolded.
"Oh someone's caught up" he cackled. "Tori got hurt because she didn't want to tell her best friend a secret."
"What will stop you from doing this?" I pleaded
He thought for a moment before answering. "You. I was obsessed with you since the day I met you. I talked Dallas into ruining the garden since you lied to me and was flirting with a teammate. Be my girlfriend, all of this is will stop."
"I thought you were obsessed with my sister." I pointed out.
"That's another guy. I have my reasons to ban the wedding,thou."
"Fine," I muttered.
"Tori, you're free to go, just don't tell anyone" Luke told the younger girl.
It's high school all over again. Doing drugs, selling myself to protect.
"Can you picked me up in 4 hours? I need get ready, make it official" I confessed
"Alright,babe. Just text the address and we'll go to a restaurant" Luke replied.
Jake was waiting for me, when I went to his house.
"Where did you go?" he implored.
"I told you where I wanted to go, and since I'm able to do whatever I wanted, well you can connect the dots," I stated. "Where is Kyle?"
"Inside. What were you thinking? You might of got hurt. Wait, are you on drugs?" he bellowed.
"No, and I was thinking that I wanted answers and I got something. I took a risk and I gained." I proclaimed.
"You want to tell me what you found, then?" Jake questioned.
"Dating you was a big mistake. I can't believe I still had feelings for you, I was so blind in love" I avowed.
"Then get out and take the boy with you" he said. Jake was obviously hurt by my comment.
"What?"
"I wanted to be more than friends, I offered my home to you, hoping that you would give me a chance. You were here for a month, I paid for the rent and your food. I felt sorry for you, but I also loved you but you don't love me anymore," he barked.
"Jake, don't say that"
"So, you're the only one allowed to have an opinion"
"I didn't say that. You're not gonna understand if I tell you."
"Just tell me, you can tell me anything, you know that"
"Wait" I told him as I popped a few pills into my mouth.
"What the hell are you doing, Katie" he roared.
"It's nicknamed the truth drug for a reason" I countered.
"I'm sorry" Jake blurted.
"What? Why?" I begged, confused.
"It's nothing actually, go on with your story."
Now Jake was acting strange. But he was already mad so I continued on.
"I supposed to not say a word about it, but it a group of people. They blackmailed Tori and one of them is obsessed with Maya. I'm getting closer and I don't have much to lose and I might already solved it. We're done here, I going to take a shower. I going out for once." I told Jake as I walk away from him.
Honestly that encounter with Luke left me with more questions than I began with. I don't want Jake to get hurt. I didn't mention Luke to Jake at all. I probably had defective pills so I took some more. I felt better. I felt stronger. Then I realized these pills had a delayed reaction.
"I'm lying miserable bitch who only friend is drugs" I whispered to myself.
While I was going up the stairs, I tripped and fell to the bottom. Jake saw the whole thing and ran to get ice. While I was falling, I knocked over a photo in a frame in the process. It was a picture of a pretty blonde, who was taller than me, curvier than me, had prettier eyes than me and I could go on for forever but I had a date to go to. I felt a pang of jealousy. Jake said she was his girlfriend for a bit and went to the University of Toronto, so she still is within driving distance. She had everything I had live without in simpler terms, including a better chance with Jake. Maybe Luke changed his ignorant jerk habits, but I doubt it.
