Ivy's POV
"...then he said 'You're not important to matter to me' and I left after he rudely told me, indirectly, to get the heck out of his house" I said "And I went home trying so hard not to cry but I ended up doing just that. The End"
He stared at me.
Silence.
"I'm gonna beat the shit out of him" Luke stood up like a vampire out for blood. Dave's blood to be exact.
I stood up pulling him down.
"Luke it's fine. I'm fine" I said calming him down.
Who knows what Luke will do.
Flashback.
"...just cause it's my first date, you don't have to check up on me every minute" I said to Luke on the phone
"Sorry. Just had to make sure you don't want to an emergency call to get you out of that date" he said
"Well I don't" I said
"Call me if he tries anything" he said "I'll beat the shit out of him"
"I will" I said giggling "Yes coming back. Talk to you later"
I hung up.
Later that evening.
Josh...or whatever his name was drove me to my apartment an helped me out.
"I had a nice time" he said
"Me too" I smiled
Hell No!
"Goodnight" he smiled
"Yea" I said as he still stood there looking at me.
Oh, don't even think about it.
He leaned in trying to kiss me. I placed my palms on his chest and tried to push him away as he held my shoulders, pulling me closer to him
"Just one kiss" he said
"Let go of me" I said pushing him
"C'mon doll face. One kiss" he said "Wouldn't hurt anyone"
"Leave me alone" I said almost crying
"Just..."
"She said you should leave her alone jerk" I heard and then...Punch!
Oh it didn't stop there.
Punch! Punch! Kick! Punch!...
"Luke. Luke." I called "Luke!" I yelled pulling him away from J-whatever's body on the floor
"You ever come near her again, I'll kill you" he said and spat at him as he got up
"Gee! Asshole" we heard as he went to his car and drove off
"Are you okay?" He turned to me
"I'm fine" I said as he hugged me
"Ivy?" He called
"Yea?" I answered
"Where were you?" He asked
"Here" I said
"No you weren't. You were miles away"
"Just thinking" I said
"Not about that Douche" he said pleading-ly
"No" I said
"Thank God!" He said
Now you see why I had to stop him. Luke was no joke when he's angry. That wasn't the only time Luke's beaten someone. He's also beaten up guys that he warned to stay away from Jessica. But that put their relationship in jeopardy cause Jess didn't like how possessive he was. So he stopped threatening her suitors even though it hurt to see her with them.
He's also beaten up guys that tries any rubbish with me.
He was very protective of what he had. It was sweet of him.
"So you wanna work on your speech now?" He asked
"Of course" I said "It'll take my mind of things"
Dave's POV
She wasn't in yet.
Where the heck did she go to without leaving a message?
I clicked the head of the pen continuously as I my thoughts went wild.
"You think to highly of yourself, Ivy" I said "You're not the reason for everything I do and don't do. You're not important to matter to me. So don't think me not being at the office has anything to do with you"
What the heck did I do?
I showed up at work today to prove that she wasn't he reason I was avoiding the office, when he was truly the reason.
I just had to open my big mouth and hurt her.
"Sir?" Claire voice boomed through the intercom
"Yes?"
"Mrs Thompson is here to see you" she said
"Let her in" I said
Why was she her?
"What did you do?" I heard before I saw her walk into the office
I stood up noticing her angry face.
"Excuse me?" I said, confused
"What did you do to my daughter?" She asked
Oh shit!
I looked away
"I might have said something really brutal that hurt her" I said
She sighed
"You didn't mean it?" She asked
I looked at her, surprised
Why was she understanding?
I shook my head.
"Well, she was suppose to go dress shopping with me today but she cancelled it and went back to school instead" she said
"What?!" I was surprised "Why the heck would she do that? She should be here"
A small smile appeared on Jules' lips which made me wonder what was wrong.
"She came back home last night crying and pretending everything was alright" Jules said "Said she just had a bad day"
I brushed my hand over my face
"Oh God!" I muttered
What the heck have I done?
"Whatever's going on between you guys, you have to sort it out. I don't want to know cause it's none of my business." She said "But if you want to make it up to her, you have to be there for her graduation on Friday"
I looked at her
"I don't think she would want me there" I said
"She would, but she won't know it until she sees you" Jules said "Fix it. Whatever it is, make it right"
I nodded
"It'll be easier for her to accept when you two are in good terms than when you're both avoiding your true feelings" Jules said
True what?
Feelings?
The only feelings we have is hatred...why don't they understand that that's never gonna change.
Well I don't about her but mine's about to change...or its already changed.
"We're gonna meet on Saturday" Jules said "We've hid this for a long time. Now's the time. She has to know what she's in for. She's gonna be broken but it is what is best for her"
I inhaled deeply.
Ivy wasn't gonna take this lightly. She's gonna realize that her dream had no way of coming to light. And since the time she had that dream, she knew it would come true but that changed seven years ago when her parents made the deal with my father.
I couldn't see her broken. It'll break me to see her like that.
Her parents were doing what they thought was best for her. But it still didn't feel like the right thing, taking away her childhood dream.
One thing was certain...Ivy was gonna be broken by this.
And I'm gonna do everything in my power to heal her and make her see it the way her parents do.
I never said it was gonna be a walk in the park, but I'm gonna try.
