When I pulled back Luke was just as shocked as me. "I'm sorry....I don't know what came over me." I said to him. "It's okay darling..but before anything else happens lets fix you." he said.
*Lukes view*
After Brett had come looking for her I knew this wasn't going to be over. He would try no matter what to get her. I prayed that I could protect her from him. I prayed that she didn't hear him mention my name. How was I going to explain that I knew Brett. He was my brother....well step brother. Jasmine had no idea that dad had another son by another woman. I only found out when I was doing the rodeo circut. Jasmine would be hurt....AnnaBeth would be hurt. Would she trust me? Probably not, she would think I was just like him.
I wanted to walk her to her room to make sure she was okay. Jasmine had left for the night and I didn't want AnnaBeth to feel like she couldn't trust me. I really wanted to kiss her but she needs to work on herself. I have no idea what is making me want her because she has a lot to work on. All of a sudden her lips was on mine. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there until she pulled back. After telling her it was okay and that we need to fix her, I left her room and went to mine. I knew I needed to text Jasmine to see how tomorrow was going to go.
Luke: Hey. Jas, Does your friend know about Annabeth's situation?
Jasmine: No, I didn't go into detail...Don't kill me but I may have told her it was yours.
Luke: You what! Jasmine!!
Jasmine: Luke..I see how you look at her. I know she needs to get herself together but I also know that you want to be with her. Take things slow. Maybe this is the push that you both need. I'll try and keep the case slow but you know it will move pretty fast.
Luke: Jas...I hate it when your right. I have a feeling that you won't have to slow the case. Brett will do that for you. He will be back.
Jasmine: Oh I will take care of him. I have been looking into Grace's case and have hired a new team. It looks like they found some new information that could put him behind bars. All I have to do now is to get Annabeth's case done which like I said shouldn't take long.
Luke: Great! He should rot in hell for doing that.
Jasmine: Agree. Goodnight Brother
Luke: Goodnight Sis
*Annabeth's view*
Luke's right I need to save myself before I move on. But what do I need to do? I'm lost..I knew that I do not want Brett in my life or the babies life. I knew that I was done with Brett...But what did Luke mean? I guess I'll ask him in the morning. That night all I could think about was what did Luke mean about me saving myself? After hours of laying a wake thinking I finally went to sleep. When I woke the next morning I was on a mission to ask Luke what he means. I got dressed in a yellow sunflower sun dress with black sandles. I went down stairs to start breakfast but Luke was already setting waiting on me.
"Hey, Jasmine fixed us some food to go. We better head on to the city. Might I say you look beautiful." he said. "Thank you and okay let's get going I guess." I said. He grabbed the food and we waved by to Jasmine as we left the house. I wonder what Jasmine was up too. She was setting in the livingroom with a group of people talking about something. I guess now would be a good time to talk.
AnnaBeth: Hey Luke. What did you mean by fixing me?
Luke: I just want to make sure that you are ready. I don't want you to feel pressured in doing anything. I can't imagane what you have been through.
Annabeth: Oh...I don't..In fact I think its the complete opposite. I know Brett has done a lot to me. But really being out here and not around him..I feel fine. Um what was Jasmine doing?
Luke: I have no idea. Those people was there when I woke up and came down stairs. I thought why was here in the city, we could get you a new phone.
AnnaBeth: Yes! That would be great! Thank you.
We countined the drive to the city which to a little longer than I thought. Luke's phone went of and he answered. I was trying to be nice and not hear what he was saying but it was hard. Today I would get to hear my baby....I would get to see my baby. I was so excited that I hadn't noticed Luke was off the phone.
"So that was Jasmine. Those people that was there at the house. That was her team pf PI's. I had no idea she had a team of PI's but when they found out about Grace they offered their help to Jasmine. They found a lot of information about Brett that could finally put him where he needs to be.," he said. "Oh wow! I wonder what they found on him? Did she say..," I asked. "No she didn't but with all this about them finding more information and him showing up at the house. I think its best if we don't get you a phone. I'm sorry, but you can use mine.," he said.
"Yea..sure..I understand.," I said. That just runied my mood. Now I wasn't able to get a phone..Well it's not like I had anyone to call. My mom was gone..my dad was gone, and I had no other siblings. All my friends Brett ran off so I guess it was better this way. All of a sudden it hit me that Brett wouldn't be here to see the baby or hear the babies heart beat. I shouldn't care and I don't but part of me felt bad because he is the father. "Hey..I'm sorry about the phone. I really am, I didn't know that she had a team of PI's. I just want to protect you and the baby.," he said to me.
"No its not that...its kinda stupid. I feel sad because Brett isn't here. I am done with him its just that I feel like he should be. I promise I am done with him.," I said. "I'm not going to set here and tell you I know how you feel, becuase I don't. But I do know that you deserve so much better than him. It's okay to miss him but remember all the things he done. He will still hurt you and the baby. I know this isn't the time but I really need you to pretend like you love me and this is our baby.," he said.
"What? I thought you was just my body guard? Why do you have to be the babies father?," I asked. "Jasmine didn't tell her friend anything about the situation...She told her the baby was mine...I don't care to pretend because that will just help protect you and the baby.," he said. "Sure I can do that.," I said. After I wiped my tears and got myself together it was time to go in. Luke came around anf opened my door for me. I will never get use to that. We walked into the doctors office.
