Just not my day -Luca-

Easter break just what she wanted not really but what was she to do people still thought her father was this kind man and now she was going to have to spend Easter away from the school. The first couple of days weren’t so bad she had taken some snacks with her so she had a few meals out of it. Scarlett used be healthy looking and not so skinny as she was now but what can a girl do when she has nowhere else to go? Taking a deep breath she followed a few others into a store she knew what they were planning and didn’t want to be a part of it but they promised her food if she was the look out. Florish and Blotts was her favorite store and even though she was a slytherin stealing from it was making her feel guilty. Once the other two kids split off to get ready she moved to the back of the shop getting caught up in the rows of books. Sadly this only made her miss the books she left at home at her fathers.

Taking a deep breath she ran her hand against the binding of a few books before turning and moving down another row of books. How did her life end up like this? The hiding and secrets worse being alone? Shaking her head she tried to not think like that to much was going wrong for her she wasn’t about to add to it by thinking about him. Peeking around the corner she saw the boys stick the books into their cloaks and before she knew it she was looking around for the clerk. ”Excuse me?” she asked making the clerk turn just in time to see what the boys were doing. Scarlett knew this was not going to go over well for her later but she was used to people hitting her so what would it matter?

Backing up she went back to scanning the books just as the clerk magically locked the boys and saying no one was going anywhere until someone came to deal with the two thieves. Now Scarlett was scared that they were going to say she was involved backing up a little she gently tapped into someone. ”I’m sorry I didn’t mean too” she whispered as the clerk moved closer to her.

Luca had been enjoying his Easter break thus far, he had great company and the serenity of the Greyback manor. Before he left today he made a nice breakfast for he and his guest, he suggested they go to Diagon Alley to grab some clothes for her. Luca felt protective, and he just wanted his friend to have the best break ever. For a girl who didn't know what home was, he'd make it his obligation to share the his world with her. Luca was a loner, he didn't like company most of the time, he could live on his own without disturbance, but it was nice to change things a bit. The son of a criminal had everything he could ever wish for, so why not share the wealth with someone, who only knew what it was like to have nothing. It felt nice, but he wasn't doing it because he felt bad, he did it because he was a loyal friend, and she knew this. It had been the first week of break, and the boy traveled by floo to Diagon Alley.

When he got there it reminded him why he didn't travel to the magical village. The people, he hated crowds. Luca made his way through the stores, and when he was just annoyed enough he gave Victoria some money, and told her to go pick up some new clothes. Luca needed a break from shopping mothers, and girls, and people in general. The werewolf liked his space, and most people respected that. Luca walked along the streets, dodging on coming people traffic, and tried to get away. The book store was closest, and he figured he could hide away in there, til his anxiety faded away. All the chaos made him antsy and he slipped into the quiet serine setting of the book store, lurking the aisles. Luca wasn't really one to read, but he did like to catch up on books about the Luca cycle. He was obsessed with it, making sure he was always away from those he cared about, and civilization in general when the full moon peeked. Luca got distracted, but the scent of another threw him off. He knew that scent, and it freaked him out a bit looking around for a moment. Gaining his composure he grabbed a book off the shelf and skimmed the cover.

The sound of a store clerk caused him to shake his head. Why steal, it was pathetic? Luca never had to want for anything, he was rather spoiled but he knew some struggled in life, and were not so fortunate. Someone bumped into him, and he spun around his green eyes locking on the girl that evidently ripped his heart from his chest. Luca looked at the shop clerk coming toward her and he wondered what was up. He noticed the owner declaring the shop was on lock down til, someone owned their mistake. "For Merlin's sake." He hissed ignoring the girl in front of him. It was easy for him to do that now that he had done it so often. Luca was in the same grade as her, the same house it was normal for him just to pretend she wasn't there, but not without a reaction. "Next time, watch where the hell you're going, stupid prat." Luca told her cold, his words like knives and his disgusted look directed toward her. He didn't need to say anything else, if he was going to be stuck in the shop, he'd gabbed a book and go sit somewhere and calm his thoughts. The thought of Scarlett turned his stomach, the untold truths, the betrayal. It was more then he could stomach, and it was best for him to get away from her before he snapped. She'd like that too much, It may make her feel important. Luca grabbed a book and walked away sitting in one of the chairs, and opening the book. He kept his senses high, but would appear lost in the pages of the book he chose.

Her heart felt like it was breaking all over again when she looked up at the person she had banged into. Why was it that she always did this and on accident to. It’s not like she plans making his life hell. She knew what was coming the harsh tone and words she was going to have to be strong stay tough; but could she really she wasn’t sleeping or eating that much could she do this? Listening to the harsh words she took a deep breath to say something back but he was walking away before she could and when she went to follow him the clerk stopped her. ”Excuse me miss but those boys say you are with them?” Scarlett shook her head and sighed maybe they would get in so much trouble she would be safe tonight. ”No Ma’am I was the one that got your attention so you could see them.” she said as quietly as she could. After the woman thanked her and walked away Scarletts attention went back to Luca.

Walking over to him she stopped for a second just a second to make a game plan ”you can do this Scarlett you love him now you just have to prove it. she thought to herself as she took a deep breath and stubbornly walked over to him. She was loyal and respected him so much that it hurt he being so cold to her. ”Luca you can be as mean as you want to be I will never stop being loyal to you. I will never stop trying to right what I have done to displeasure you.” she said in a strong and respectful tone. Scarlett knew that Luca hated being disrespected so she always made sure to respect him and take all the harsh words he throws at her. At this point she would even take a beating if it came to that. Not that he was a guy that hurt women but she did know of his wolf temper and would take anything that came her way. ”Please just hear me out and really hear me and then make up your mind please I am…” she stopped in mid sentence as she started to get dizzy quickly she moved and leaned against the table next to his chair. She didn’t care if she was killing herself by not finding food to her Luca was more important and she would do anything to get him back. Scarlett wanted to turn to him with what was going on in her life but she didn’t think right now was the right time to he was so mad at her.

Looking at him she took a deep breath. ”I just want to talk about this there is so much I want to tell you.” Never once did she sound disrespectful and she never stopped or turned from looking into his eyes to show that she was telling the truth. She knew it was going to take a lot to get him to listen but she had to try and she was just stubborn enough to never stop trying. They were stuck here so until she passed out she was going to try to get heard.

It was just his luck that he'd run into Scarlett on a day like this. A day where his anxiety became his core, and he needed to escape. If it wasn't for bad luck, he wouldn't have any at all, and he was glaring at the attribute of evil. Luca made himself forget her, as if she were never there. Not only did she break him in ways the young wolf refused to feel, but she had the nerve to hide her truths from him. Where was the five years of friendship there? Friends could tell each other anything correct? Then why didn't she fix her mistakes, why did she have to torture him in ways he couldn't bare. He gave her his heart, and she tossed it away. Now in his chest, only remained the dagger of betrayal, and he refused to see anything she said. Scarlett's word lingered in his mind and he found them humorous. He snickered to himself, turning his back to her walking away. Loyal, she called herself loyal to him? Was she daft? How could she be loyal if she had crushed the man he once was, the one part of him that was decent? It was ridiculous, and here he felt he was the problem for the past year and a half. The thought of her brought a unpleasant taste to his mouth.

Luca didn't look back, he couldn't, refused. The boy just opened his book, and skimmed for something he wanted to read. Then her annoying screech of a voice broke through silence, like thunder. Luca felt his heart race due to the rush of blood flowing through his veins. Yet he remained silent, he couldn't speak to her and lower himself. It must have been more torture to her, knowing he wasn't giving her the time of day. Then there was was practically begging him to speak, begging him to reassure she was sorry. Luca turned the page in the book and began to read a bit, he was starting to get angry. Scarlett had some nerve trying to speak to him, as if she deserved to justify her actions. Luca begged to differ, he knew she didn't deserve any type of clarification. She flushed away his friendship, his love all for what? To come back and try to win his heart. This wasn't a reality tv show, his was his life, one she didn't have a part in. The boy hated drama, he hated anything that involved commitment because of her.

There was a cold being, that replaced his softer more gentle side. Luca blamed Victoria for bringing back his emotions. The ones he fought away, where the heck was she when he was at this breaking point. His emerald green eyes glanced up to see Scarlett, he knew he shouldn't give her attention, but his fern gaze locked upon her may make her shut her mouth. She said she wanted to tell him things, and he snarled. "Tell me what? That you're a common whore and a liar?" Luca asked, he didn't need an answer for that, it was rhetorical, but at least she knew how he felt now. Luca hated looking into those hazel eyes of her's, it hurt him to see pain, but he cast it away. "And where do you get off on pledging yourself loyal? You do know being faithful is part of loyalty, ya daft tramp." Luca said shaking his head. Now she knew he knew what she did, even if she denied it his eyes didn't lie. Scarlett didn't know he was there that night, so how he concluded these facts would remain a mystery. "You should get away from me, before I get angry." He warned, she was messing with some thing dangerous right now, she was playing with fire, and would indeed get burnt if she progressed.

Scarlett was getting annoyed she knew she had the right to at least explain herself and they needed to talk. He needed to listen her only problem was how to get him to hear her words, to see her? Taking a breath she held on to the table next to her it was the only thing keeping her up at this moment but she didn’t care how bad it got for her she was going to stay and try to get through to him. She knew she had a right to talk but realized he was hurt about something. ”Luca I at least deserve the chance to explain.” Luca was all about respect but he wasn’t even giving her respect enough to tell him what had happened. Scarlett could tell he was getting mad but her stubborn attitude would not let her stop she didn’t care what he did to her after all anything was better than what she was living now.

Scar was taken back when he called her a whore and a lair. At the moment she knew he knew what happened and suddenly everything fall into place to why this was happening to her. Looking him straight in his eyes she nodded slowly. ”I’ve been trying to explain I know what I did and you deserve to hear the truth. I know you hate me but please let’s just take about this get it all out in the open. I’ve wanted to do that for a long time now.” Luca knew her well but she was kind of hoping that he was so mad he didn’t see or notice she was skinnier, paler and weaker. Though on the other hand she hoped he did notice and she hoped he would not turn her away again. Scarlett was ready for anything Luca was going to do she had been hurt all her life so this would be no different plus she knew she deserved it. Not sure what else to say she struggled to stay on her feet the last thing she wanted was him thinking she was using this as a way to make him feel about her again. Closing her eyes she reopened them and looked at him hoping her silent pleas would be heard and seen.

As much as his heart was fully content with ignoring her, he became peeved with the fact she was still there. Claiming loyalty as if she had been nothing but toward him. Loyalty went very far with him, it was in his wolf nature to crave loyalty. Luca was an alpha for a reason, he had a great sense of leadership, and he was skeptical about who he allowed close to him. Luca was a leader, he couldn't be screwing with some girl or allow her to get in the way of his pack. His head needed to be clear, but this specific girl was dead set on speaking her piece. Luca took the wind out of her sail, he spoke to her as if she were nothing. He knew it hurt her, matched the pain he felt. Luca could be almost cruel at times, and she knew that. He had been forcful with her, he had yelled. She was lucky he didn't end her the day she changed her loyalties. When the full moon was close, he could feel himself want to snap, wanting to end his blood lust with her. Luca had found a hate for her, and hating wasn't something he generally did.

Luca looked up from his book, he had spoken some harsh reality to the girl but she remained stubborn. "Why, why should I give you the satisfaction of telling me now? Why didn't you tell me back then, I blamed myself for your mistake!" Luca snapped. Yeah, he couldn't tell her about the secrets of his past back then, it was a touchy subject. Yet she didn't wait, she allowed herself to lock lips with another man. She threw it all away, as if they didn't have anything. "We were best friends, I still can't fathom why you'd forget that. No matter what the circumstances may have been you disgust me, you disappoint me Scarlett." Luca told her. The boy didn't know what he was thinking even allowing her to think of those questions, but he was curious to knew the exact reason she threw everything away. "Have it your way, impress me." Luca said crossing his arms over his muscular torso. This was her one chance, he was listening, she needed to speak now or never. It hurt him to even think about what she was going to say. He had known her since she was little girl, one he grew up beside. It broke his heart to know how she turned out, over and over again. Luca may have iced her out, when he was figuring out how to handle his own life, but to break their bond? I just didn't seem right. And he wasn't going to let her think it was okay in any way, shape or form. It took him months to recover from her mistake. Then when he started to feel okay about letting people in, she wanted to explain about the past... this hardly felt real.

The dagger in her heart stabbed her deeper when she realized he knew about what she did. She had been kicking herself for not telling him right away. Everything he said was just another hole forming in her heart. Scarlett didn’t jump when he snapped at her she was not afraid of him and would take anything he did to her because she loved him and would not see that it was wrong. The words that she disappointed him hurt her more than any bad word he had ever called her. Maybe she had pushed him to far and he was going to kill her. Truthfully she would not mind that she already knew she couldn’t live without him and deep down she was slowly killing her body anyways. She wondered if he noticed? If he would care? Shaking her head, she came out of all those thoughts and focus on what she was going to say to him.

Leaning against the table for support she just hoped and prayed he was truly listening to her as she explained what had happened. Taking a deep breath to try and stop her stomach from hurting she felt how weak she was feeling and how hungry but this was more important. “You froze me out I wanted to be there for you and you pushed me away. You and I were best friends and you just tossed me away and was really cold to me. I am not used to you being that cold to me. I felt like I had done something that you were just going to drop me. Then there was this guy that started to talk to me about how it was unfair and how he would treat me right. I was a fool and hurting so I agreed to go on a date but I didn’t realize it would go that far. I didn’t want it to but when he kissed me I kissed him back just once. I wasn't thinking I was really really hurt and not in the right state of mind. Nothing else happened because he was not you and I realized that my heart is yours and always will be. I wanted to go to you sooner I didn’t want to hurt you; I was scared. She was scared of losing him but her actions of not going to him sooner made her fears come in the light.

There it was her side of things the reason why she made such a bad decision she knew it was no excuse for kissing another man but she also knew he deserved the truth. Suddenly the feeling like she was going to pass out washed over her and her heart beat pounded so hard she felt like it was going to come out of her chest. Secretly praying that he would understand and at least calm down a little. Maybe this would be the first steps in fixing their friendship at least. Holding herself up was getting harder and harder but she didn’t want to lose it now she didn’t want him thinking this was all part of trying to win him back when really her health was going downhill because she didn’t have any money and couldn’t go home. Forcing her head up she looked at Luca waiting to see what he was going to do next and if she was going to have to take an attack which she honestly didn’t think her body could take being pushed into a wall right now.

Luca didn't want to hear any thing she was going to say. What was this an attempt to rewrite her wrongs? Like she could confess her reasoning and he'd just forgive her? Luca had told himself it was his fault, never-the-less blamed himself for his mother's death as well as his break up. He tore at himself til he couldn't anymore and then became empty. Luca's family was the only ones he allowed to be so close. Those that showed never ending loyalty and here Was Scarlett pledging her loyalty? She didn't even understand the meaning of loyalty. She wasn't wolf material, he remembered once upon a time he thought she was. That soon faded when his green orbs cast upon her snogging another male. He gave up on her then, the life they had. The friendship, it was torture just looking into those eyes of her's that he once found nothing buy beauty in. This was why it was hard for him to feel, and emotionless beast had been what he became. There was no more happiness, no more contentment. Vicks brought him a small amount of happiness, but he was even scared to be around her too long because of Scarlett's dismay. She broke him and now he felt he could never recover or look at love again. Luca was even awkward toward his family, he had loyalty and was a lead but he couldn't love them fully. His perception could only see betrayal. She put a certain fear in him, a constant anxiety he could never escape.

Luca never thought he'd be looking at the women again, he never expected she'd show her face in his presence again. Was she daft? His sarcastic tone and permission should have bothered her but it didn't. Scarlett took it as her will to speak her peace. Luca listened her ramble, he didn't interrupt her once. When she finished he blinked a couple times and leaned back in his seat. "Do you ever think I had a reason to freeze you out?" Luca asked, he had just learned his mother was killed for trying to save him some his insidious father. "You know I handle things much better on my own, and I didn't have to explain myself til I was good and ready." Luca stated he wasn't going to condole her actions. "You let some bloke come in between us, that just proves your love isn't full. We were best friends and you tossed that away. I loved you, did everything for you and you broke my heart." Luca said cold as he looked back at his book, he wasn't feeling sympathy for himself. Just stating the truth. He and Scarlett had done everything together, he opened his home to her. Luca went behind his father's back to be with her. "You will always love me? You have some nerve stating those words after what you did." Luca muttered a bit flustered at the whole situation. "Didn't want to hurt me? You made it so I don't have to feel. You did me favor." He said with a slight smirk to himself.
