"Because, once I tell you this reason, you'll understand that my absences vary and I come and go without a trace," Lucas told Sophia. Lucas then frowned at her. He wanted to prove he really did feel the same way as she did to him. He loved her, and so then wanted to prove it. He felt guilty that she was going to sing but not anymore, probably because of his presence. And that she also was here to have lunch, but not anymore, because of him.
Lucas was suprised to hear that she said that she loved him more than anything. This made his heart pound with joy. He put both his hands on Sophia's cheeks, closed his eyes leant it and his lips touched her lips. They were soft and lucious and Lucas opened and closed his lips a couple of times, almost wanting to go further, but didn't want to push it. He continued to kiss her a couple of more times and then backed away from her face and looked at her. "I would never want to leave you, Sophia Annabelle Granger, you are a beautiful vampire," Lucas told her, hoping it would prove it and make her not think that way again.
He continued to dab her cheeks and around her eyes with the napkin."Remember when I told you that my mum basically had a new man every week?" Lucas asked. "Well, she couldn't pay rent and this man who was a colleague let us stay with him in his caravan except..." Lucas gulped and his eyes turned red with fury and anger. "My mum would still go out to clubs every night and this man would kick me out of the caravan and raped my sister every single night..." Lucas frowned and tears began to come out his eyes as well.
"I tried to convince mum but she didn't believe me," Lucas said, and had sad eyes and looked at Sophia. "Then finally, one night, mum went out and then man kicked me out, except this time, mum forgot something and saw me, and had the keys to enter the caravan and saw my sister, being raped," Lucas choked.
"So, since I graduated, I swore I would go back to muggle world and keep tabs on this man...So I can evidence of him doing this to other girls, but so far, there's been nothing, he's a criminal mastermind..I have this group in muggle world who call me in an emergency when they think they have something and I leave without a trace," Lucas finished explaining, crying softly.
"And I did nothing..I just sat outside, banging the door, trying to get in, but I could see in the windows..the sadness and pain and suffering my sister went through...I felt weak.." Lucas muttered. "Yet, she treats me like I'm a hero...I did nothing...mum didn't believe me and I was only eight.." Lucas cried.
