Luke

Too late I realize I fell where the tome once was as my head hits something hard. My body makes impact with the floor. Puttall of my weight on my bruised hands, I lift myself up onto my knees. My head is pounding and I cry because everything hurts.

I'm m sob holding back a scream as I'm super terrified. My upper body is lying on a huge pile of tomes.

The same thing happens again but this time the energy hurts. The symbols are moving really quickly at a rapid pace on the skin all over my body.

I scream and cry bloody murder as my face is singed. My upper body sinks into the pile of tomes, one tome after another. The pain, the energy, all of it, everything is too much. Everything fades and my vision goes dark.

I wake up with a gasp, drenched in sweat, and trembling. I'm shaking so hard I'm afraid the bed is going to break. I gasp for breath as my heart races like a herd of horses trying to gallop out of my chest. I take a couple of deep breaths, calming my breathing as I try to relax. I tell myself over and over, "It was just a dream". I mumble. "I am safely bundled under the mountain of blankets on my bed.

Calming myself down, I push my rose gold and silver hair out of my face. "Lamp lights", I say and all four lamps in my room come on. I push off my covers and climb out of bed sliding my feet into my cute fluffy red-brown fox slippers.

I look at the time on my neofly, a communication device made out of bio-luminescent meteorite that comes in neon colors. Mine is orange and red. They made it so that you can turn the neo-light on or off whenever you want to, unlike the older model which doesn't have that feature.

White holographic number 10:40am appear in my vision and I mutter, "Oh shit!"

I rush into my bathroom realizing I only have an hour and twenty minutes to be at the Tram station before the megatram takes off. "Shit, shit, shit!" I curse.

I'm gonna have to take a quick shower, put on makeup, and get dressed within less than an hour. It's going to take about twenty minutes just to get to the station.

Twenty-five minutes later I jump out of the shower. I put on some light makeup and throw on faded denim jeans with an old navy blue and grey school t-shirt. I rush out of the house in a pair of all white sneakers and climb into my dark grey skimmer with forty minutes to spare.

Driving through city I make it to the tram station in thirty minutes due to heavy traffic. The station is packed because it's Saturday and two weeks right before school starts.

I'm leaving Cerulan to travel two hours to Birkland. To a rehab center that one of my best friends is in. Meand a couple of others usually go see him every other two weeks, but this time it's just me since Luke gets out next week on Wednesday. Everyone thought it'd be a waste of money but I had already the ticket in advanced because I had bought a monthly pass.

Luke's parents were killed during an Hyrokin attack on a space shuttle station. Now he stays with his older brother who he doesn't get along with and their baby sister.

During a new years party, Luke overdosed and almost died. Then he lied for two months telling everyone that had quit, his brother caught him so he sent him to rehab. Luke's been there for six months now.

I consider buying way too expensive station breakfast but don't have time as my tram is boarding now. I run towards the loading area.

Two hours later I arrive in Birkland. I take a taxi the rehab center, sign in, and play on my neofly while I wait to get approved to see luke. The rehab center that luke is in is really luxurious and beautiful. Situated right on the edge of Takohe lake with the Chip mountains just beyond.

"Harley Rose." I get up when the man behind the front desk calls my name. When I near the desk he motions for me to go on back.

I walk towards the end of the light blue, white, and grey hallway to the stairwell. Goiup two flights of I enter another similar colored hallway and knock on the door right beside the entrance to the stairs. Waiting a minute a guy wearing blue jeans and a grey sweater with blue and green stripes. Brown hair, long on the top and short on the sides with blonde tips opens the door.

"Hey Harls." Luke says while wrapping his arms around me in a bear hug. "Hey Luke." I say into his shoulder, my voice muffled. He let's me go and steps back further into his room holding the door open so I can walk in.

The walls are soft grey with tan wooden floors. A small twin bed with two dressers, one nightstand, and a small walk-in closet.

There are three plants in the room making it look more livelier. One on his nightstand, one in the middle of his dresser, and one on his window sil. Kelly bought them for Luke to liven up the space since it was to boring for her tastes.

While Ace got him a red and yellow round rug in the middle of the room. Nash paid for some ridiculously expensive therapeutic black weighted temperature blanket and matching pillows. Nikki as a joke and as revenge got him some hideous ugly knitted throw pillows to go on the only two sofa like chairs in the room.

Nikki blames herself for Luke being in rehab since she took him to an underground party where he first started to do blitz.

Blitz is an extremely addictive drug for supernaturals that temporarily make you over confident, boost your powers, and extreme euphoria for five hours depending on how much take.

I got Luke a collage set of photos of all of his best moments that were captured. As well as a new guitar to replace the one that broke during the fight between him and Tony. His drug dealer and motocross team-mate.
