Chapter 14.

Chapter 14

One Friday night, after we performed for a dinner theater, Luke went out with Tommy . Tommy got really drunk and wrecked his Camaro. He broke his arm and suffered a concussion. Luke escaped with only minor injuries. He sprained his wrist and had a few cuts and bruises. I was relieved.

Luke’s blood alcohol level proved he had been drinking but was not drunk. I was grateful for that.
My parents and his were not at all happy about the incident. They wouldn’t let me see Luke for a week. They gave me all sorts of reasons why but I didn’t hear them. All I heard was a week without Luke.
At school Luke told me Ceilia and Danny hadn’t said a lot about the incident but did tell him he wasn’t allowed to go out for a week then they would decide what to do.
“I wasn’t the one drunk” he said, one day at school. “I don’t see what the problem is.”
“Luke, it’s the fact that you were drinking in the first place and the fact that you are hanging around Tommy again. They know he’s bad news.” I told him.
“Exactly. HE is. Not me!” Luke shouted.

Ceilia and Danny were very worried about Luke and decided it was time to take action. They decided he needed to check him into the local psychiatric facility. One night, Ceilia and Danny and my parents had a long talk with Luke and I. They said they were worried about Luke and the path he was headed down and said that he needed help. They loved him and wanted to see him stay out of trouble. My parents were worried about me and the influence Luke had over me. We tried explaining to them how much we loved each other and how we needed each other. It fell on deaf ears. Ceilia and Danny wouldn’t back down. They had already made up their minds.

Luke ran away from home a week later. He left them a note saying there was no way he was going to be put in a mental hospital and he was going to New York since he was turning 18 in a month anyway. The night before he ran away, we made love for the last time. I didn’t know it but I wish I had. I wish he had told me that night and not left the way he did.
He slipped a note under my pillow that I didn’t find until the next morning.

'My Sweet Jules,
I cannot let them check me into a mental hospital. I won’t be locked up like some mad man. I’m not crazy. You know this. You’re the only one who understands me. I’m leaving for New York before the sun rises. I will be 18 in a month. They won’t find me before then. Please understand why I had to leave this way. I’ll be in touch and we will be together again soon. I love you.
Luke'

Two days later I found out I was pregnant.
