Chapter 18

　　I went into his room and lay down on the bed while he focused on his laptop in the living room. My card holder is on the bed side table. I was going to text older brother Sage, but I didn't have my cell phone. Eventually I just fell asleep.

　　When I woke up the sun was gone, but it was still bright outside. I slept longer. I hurriedly got up and went straight to his car to wash and brush my teeth again. As I looked at myself in the mirror I noticed the swelling in my eyes was still obvious and I was obviously crying.

　　When it was over I went out and found Luke playing the guitar. When he noticed me he stopped and put the guitar away. He stood up and approached me.

　　"How do you feel?" He asked.

　　I smiled at him, "Better."

　　He nodded and licked his lower lip, "Anyway, Sage is looking for you and I told him you're here. I didn't lock the door in case he'll barge in." He said.
