♢♡Ryan♡♢

I just sit in front of the fountain, crying until I can't anymore. The feeling of being violated starts all over again and I feel like I've betrayed Luke. Y'know, he hasn't once said that he loves me. He doesn't want me, I'm just here because he needed to prove a point. No one wants me.

I sniffle and rest my forehead on the fountain wall, closing my eyes and trying relax. I hear the gates open and look up, seeing Luke there gripping onto one of the gates and looking at me. His face splits with a grin and he runs up to me, kneeling on the ground and yanking me against his chest.

"There you are! Gods Ryan, we'd thought we'd lost you!" He laughs, holding my shoulders before hugging me again. My eyes widen and I don't hug back, just stare at the ground over Luke's shoulder. Luke pulls back eventually and his smile fades as he cups my face, but I look down and away. "Ryan?"

"Didn't Mini tell you?" I hiss, shuffling away and wrapping my arms around my stomach. "He told me you had run away, didn't tell me why" Luke frowns, grabbing my wrist. I pull my arm away from him. Luke growls once and pulls me in front of him, but I don't look at him. "Ryan" Luke hisses out my name in a warning tone like I'm some child.

I glare at Luke with tears in my eyes again, which I didn't think was possible. Luke cups my face and uses his thumbs to wipe away any tears or tear tracks. "Ryan, baby, tell me what happened" He breathes, smiling sympathetically at me. I look away and take a deep, shaky breath. "I.. after you left this morning- I got sick..." I mumble, licking my lip and trying to hold back tears.

"I threw up a few times so Mini took me to the nurses and she looked me over" I look down and whimper, crying again. "I- she said.." I shake Luke's hands away and move to the side, showing Luke the gardenia. "I'm a week along" I whisper sadly, not daring to look at Luke and hoping he can connect the dots without my help unlike Mini.

Luke lifts me up and I whine, trying to push him away and squirm out of his arms. Luke cradles me like a baby and holds me close, sighing through his nose and kissing my hair. "I couldn't be happier" He mumbles, kissing down my face before kissing my lips. Happiness lights up my heart before dread floods in again.

"But.. but what about Bryce?" I squeak, looking up at Luke, who scoffs as a response. "What about him? Baby, what's the likely hood or Bryce actually being the father compared to mine?" Luke laughs a little, I guess I never thought of that. "S-So you're not mad?" I hope, giving Luke puppy eyes.

"Of course I'm not mad!" Luke laughs, putting down my legs to squeeze my torso in a hug. I cough out a laugh and hug him back, sighing happily over his shoulder before crying again, out of joy this time. "Ookay, okay. Let's get you some water" Luke chuckles, standing up as I throw my arms around his neck and cry against his shoulder.
