Wake Me Up When September Ends.
-Chapter One-
Thalia blinked her eyes open as a drop of water fell on her forehead. She stared at the sky, which produced thousands of water molecules, as they covered her face like freckles.
She shivered and sat up, then squeaked, noticing her bare body. Luke stirred and she stared at him, remembering his gentle laughter as he told her what they were doing wasn't wrong. She leaned over his warm chest, and wanted to curl up next to him again, but she knew her father was upset with her.
"Luke!"
She hissed. He opened his eyes and smiled.
"Hey."
She looked at the sky as a clap of thunder filled her ears. Rain soaked her hair.
"Luke, we have to go, now!"
He sat up and pulled her close, kissing her breast softly. She shook her head.
"Luke, my dad is angry!"
Luke looked at the dark clouds above, as if just noticing the storm beginning. He stood and hurriedly pulled on his jeans as Thalia scrambled to find hers, humiliated now that she realized her father had seen everything.
She zipped up her leather jacket and laced her boots, checking to make sure Luke was ready before breaking into a run. She ducked into a Krispy Kreme and swallowed the saliva forming in her mouth.
She shoved her hands in her pockets and sighed, knowing there wouldn't be anything inside.
Luke kissed the top of her head.
"I know you're hungry, I am too. But I know we can get some money soon."
She tried not to inhale the scent so much, but it was so amazing. The girl behind the counter, who didn't appear more than twelve or thirteen, turned to them.
"Can I help you?"
Thalia stared at the ground and Luke spoke up.
"We're just waiting for the storm to pass. We don't have any money for food, sorry."
She smiled, and Thalia assumed her hunger was overpowering her when she noticed flames flickering in the girl's eyes.
"Come here, I don't mind if you eat."
Luke blinked and looked down at Thalia. She stared at him pleadingly.
"Luke, I'm so hungry."
She whispered, and he looked back at the girl.
"Thank you."
She nodded. "Of course."
She held out a box of doughnuts to Thalia. She took them and smiled nervously.
"Thank you."
The girl just smiled back and turned to serve another customer.
Thalia sat down with Luke and opened the box, staring in disbelief at the steaming rings of amazing. Luke pulled one out and bit into it, closing his eyes. Thalia was close after him. She sighed in pleasure, and the glaze clung to her cracked lips.
Luke smiled and leaned over, wiping it away. She grabbed his hand and held it.
"See, we're going to be okay." He squeezed her hand, and she nodded, then finally smiled when he kissed her forehead.
