283: UNDERSTAND

LUKE’S POV

Standing right here in my room, I was just looking at my mom, wondering why she had come to this location in the house so early in the morning.

Seriously, it was way too early for me to get into any heated conversation. I have things running through my head right now–things that might make me go crazy. The situation with Ariel last night seemed to be a tough one, and I had no idea if she was angry at me or not. But I could just wish for the best. Things are going great between us.

“Can I please know why you’ve come?” I asked, not taking my eyes off her.

“Yeah, I know that.”

“Were you the one who brought her home?”

“Yes, I had to. I saw her while driving on the road. So, I have some questions for you. And you need to give me answers.”

probably didn’t wake up anytime soon because of how things went with Luke last night.

“Ariel, you have to wake up.” Laura said, walking closer to me.

“Why? What’s the problem?”
