The sun was up, but it was early in the morning. I didn't see many people in the streets and most shops were still closed. Petra turned towards me, her red hair turning a orangish blond in the sunlight. She took both my hands in hers. Her dark brown eyes paused over the stiches in my hand, but only for a moment.
"You know, right?" I knew what she was talking about but how did Petra know?
Based on my reaction, she let a small gigle surpass.
"Of course you do," Lukas was confused. "If you need me, you know where to find me. Take care of her Lukas."
I looked up at Lukas, who was standing stiff by my side.
"And Jesse, I need you to stay safe, okay?"
"Okay," I hugged her goodbye as the sun started rising.
Lukas started walking towards the treehouse, but switched direction last minute.
"Where are we going?" I looked up to Lukas.
"Somewhere," Lukas left it at that.
We talked about the different things we wanted to know about each other. I found out he really liked pets, but they are not allowed to have them in his place.
"What was Petra talking about?" Lukas casually asked me, no idea of how serious the answer was.
"Well," How do you explain to someone that their friend tried to murder you? No turning back now,"We both think that the murderer is-"
"I didn't know you'd be with her Lukas," I turned around to see Maya's face, uncovered, a knife in her hand.
"Maya," There was no trace of kindness in my voice.
The girl slipped her arms around Lukas, who quickly pulled them away.
"Lukas! You don't act like that when it's just you and I," Looking to Lukas, I gave a confused look.
"What do you mean?" Bitterness flooded me.
She gasped. Lukas glowered at her.
"Lukas didn't even give me a kiss today! Didn't he tell you we were together?" Maya smiled, killing me.
"I didn't-"
"Don't speak Lukas," I noticed her knife was pointed towards him. "We don't want to lie to poor Jesse."
"Maybe I should go," I muttered coldly.
"Don't-"
"Yeah your right," She wrapped her arms around Lukas pushing him up against a tree so he couldn't move and kissing him.
I turned, walking until they couldn't see me. Breaking into a run towards the treehouse, I let the tears flow down my face. Olivia was awake, making breakfast so I quitely slipped past when she wasn't looking. Axel was asleep on the couch. Softly shutting the door, I locked it, crying.
The bed was soft and comforting so I let my tears flow down. In five minutes, all my fears, regrets, worries, and hopes came, over-whelming me. I tried to hold on. I tried to me strong. I tried to forget the times with Lukas. That's why Maya was jealous. He is why I almost died. Because he loved someone else.
The next few days pained me. Olivia and Axel both found out I was hiding in a locked room. But I didn't come out. I didn't remember anyone except Lukas.
"You know, right?" I knew what she was talking about but how did Petra know?
