Chapter one

Rory slowly opened his wide eyes, finding his bed missing of a person. He traced out the creases in the sheets of the bed where his lover had been the night before. He knew that ever since Luka had signed up for his new job that life was going to get lonely. But if he wanted to continue living with Luka and making a good life, he would have to accept it for now. “It’s only for a little while…” he thought to himself.
The sheets of the bed wrapped themselves to Rory’s bare body. He turned his head to the giant window, light bleeding in from the outside. Snow pattered against the soft green grown, turning it into a blanket of white. Rory was a 21 year old male; he had light blond, almost white hair and dark silver eyes. Luka had said his eyes looked like the halo around a moon, taking his breath away every time he would glance at him. He was about 5.11 while Luka was 6.3. HE was also born on December 25th, making him a Sagittarius and his blood type was –AB. His nationality is Russian, he moved to America when he was 5 with his mother, and soon after a war raged upon Europe. It was world war 4, and it had sent all the great nations in poverty, including America. Rory was living in New York when he met Luka, and after his mother passed away the two boys moved to Minnesota.
Ever since the war had reached America, They have been drafting men over 23 to join the army. Everyday ever since Luka had turned 23, Rory was always worried about him being drafted. He didn’t want to lose Luka, and prayed every day that he would not be drafted by the army. Rory and Luka tried to lie low from the military until money was tight. So Luka had to get a full time job at a factory in the next town over, and Rory worked at an old coffee shop that made good money, but he only worked part time, and today was a day off.
Rory stayed in bed all day waiting for the man he loved to return. Being homosexual wasn’t the greatest thing to do in this day and age, and Rory knew his mother wasn’t happy about it when he had told her, and now he fears that that might have killed her. He loved his mother dearly. She was all he had for 16 years of his life. She was most precious to him until Luka stepped in. Maybe his mother had grown jealous? He hadn’t really thought about that until now. He couldn’t do anything now though, she was already gone.
Rory climbed out of bed wrapping the crisp white sheets around him for coverage. He opened up the glass door and walked out to the balcony, the snow nestled on his blond hair, and a cold gust of wind blew against Rory’s bare skin, sending a shiver through his spine. Rory looked at the white rose’s gently placed in a large pot hanging inwards of the railing. Rory disturbed one of the beautiful roses, causing all the frosted snow to drift off. Rory loved flowers, and he planted lots of them in their garden outside the house, the front lawn, the court yard, and even around the fountain. Mainly white roses, because Luka had said those were his most favorite flowers, and Rory wanted him to enjoy his garden as much as he could. But Rory’s most favorite flowers were Surprise Lilies, then Sun flowers. But those had to be in special conditions to grow, and Minnesota was just not the place for them.
Even though money was scarce, they lived in a really nice home. It was a 4 story estate with 12 rooms, 6 bathrooms, a large kitchen, a dining hall, and a large living room, with a pool table. Outside there was a pool house that was 28 yards away from the house, it had a small kitchen, 2 bed rooms, and a bathroom. Rory didn’t understand why they had such a huge house when it was only the two of them, but Luka said that they should keep it since it was his family’s estate pasted down from generation to generation.
“You might catch a cold if you remain in that… sheet.” Whispered a friendly voice from behind him.
“Lu-!” shouted Rory as he turned his head to not find Luka, but to be face to face with the butler Jace.
“Haha, I’m afraid I’m not master Luka, but seriously you need to put on some clothes.”
“Haha, sorry!” said Rory with a smile. Jace was a 34 year old man whose family has served Luka’s family for generations. He was really tall, 6.5, and he had dark brown hair, green eyes, and he was tall and incredibly skinny. Rory things he’s anorexic because he’s so skinny and he’s never seen him eat.
Jace had set out some clothes for Rory to put on and had cleaned up the room and made the bed, erasing the traces of their love affair. Rory would have usually taken a shower but he just skipped the shower and just slipped on his white flannel shirt and a pair of grey skinny jeans with a pair of black leather boots. Rory had brushed his teeth and took a look at his messy ruffled hair. He didn’t feel like brushing it because no matter how much he brushed it, it would forever remain in that curly state. Some people around town had said they couldn’t even tell he was Russian, and even Rory began to forget that. Actually, he couldn’t remember anything from when he lived in Russia, he only remembered the language. Luka had said that when he first met him, Rory could barely speak English, he had a strong accent and he barely knew any English, but now you couldn’t even tell.
It was about noon, and Jace had said he was going out to town to buy food, so Rory went with him. While Jace was out and about, Rory went to sandwich shop to get some lunch. ‘Susie’s subs’ was the name of the place. You wouldn’t even know it was a sandwich shop unless you’re a local, but they had the best sandwiches ever! Rory had bought 4 sandwiches, 2 for himself (He loves eating) one for Jace, and the other for Luka.
Right as Rory sat down to eat, a small crowd of about 4 men walked in. they were fresh from the factory and all sweaty, and among them was none other than Luka. When Rory saw Lukas pale drenched face, his heart began to rush. Even though Rory knew that Luka loved him, he still felt like the girl who stalks a guy she loves. Whenever Rory would see him out of the house, he felt like he was staring at a complete stranger. Or atleast a stranger he was madly in love with. Rory’s face began to fluster when he watched the men walk over to a booth on the other side of the shop and sit down. For some reason, he didn’t want Luka to notice him. He felt like he might embarrass him in front of his friends, or spill the beans of their relationship. Since Luka was a working man, and worked with other men, It might be bad if they knew he was gay, and they would probably stop hanging out with him, so Rory promised to keep it a secret between him Luka and Jace.
Since Luka was already getting a sandwich, Rory decided to eat Luka’s. He was stuffing his face, and had been there for an hour before anyone noticed him.
“Hey Luki, isn’t that your friend Rory?” questioned one of the men with Luka. This man was a tall well built man. He had jet black hair and olive skin.
“Oh hey it is whadda ya know?” He said sarcastically. Rory’s face flustered as he felt all they eyes on him. He just wanted to leave now and just go home. Luka had made his way up to Rory, and was about 3 feet away from reaching them, when Rory put Jace’s sandwich into his bag, and tried to leave the shop. But Luka being as quick as he was, quickly grabbed him by his arm and looked at him in the eyes. “Where are you going Rory?” he said licking his lips. Rory grew tenser as he smelt the alcohol in his breath. He was drunk.
“I’m just going home. That’s all.” He replied with a shaky voice.
“You’re going home? Why don’t you stay and have a drink with me and my buds?” That wasn’t a request, it was a requirement.
“O-okay.” He said as Luka yanked his arm to the table.
“Say hi Rory.” Demanded Luka jabbing him in the side with his elbow, referring to his friends. His grip on Rory’s arm grew tighter and Rory could feel his nails beginning to dig into the skin.
“H-h-hello.” He said with a frightened look. Blood started to drip off his arm as Lukas grip grew tighter and tighter breaking the skin.
“Louder!” Luka screamed.
“L-Luki, your being too harsh on him just let him go.” Said one of his friends.
“Not until he gives you guy’s a proper greeting!” he snapped. Then the biggest man at the table stood up and slapped Luka across the face. His grip was still tight, and Rory was brought down with him when the force of the slap caused him to hit the floor.
When he released his grip, Rory could feel his nail receding from his arm. He was rubbing his arm, smearing blood all around, when the man offered him a hand. Rory took it with his clean hand and was raised back to his feet.
“I’m terribly sorry, its might fault he’s drunk, I forced a few too many drinks on him.”
“It’s okay, it’s not the first time I’ve seen him like this.” He replied. His was a whisper, and his legs shook furiously. Rory had only seen Luka drunk one other time, and he’s very abusive when he’s drunk. The other time, no one was there to save him. Jace had gone home for the holidays, so he wasn’t there. Rory had to just deal with It that time. Luka has dislocated his left shoulder, he had a giant gash under his right eye, he got a black eye, and he was covered with bruises and scrapes.
The thing that shook Rory about this was that, Luka was a very kind person. He was loving, caring, good, and very friendly. And when he was drunk, it was like he had a new identity.
“We better take him back to the factory, lunch break’s almost over.” Said one of the other men with a smirk.
“Why I outta!” screamed Luka lifting himself off the floor. Right as he stood up, he vomited all over the floor. The man, who had slapped Luka, grabbed him by his shoulders and dragged him to the bathroom. When they had disappeared behind the door, Rory quickly gave his farewells to the remaining men and rushed out the door. About a block away, Jace quickly rushed over to Rory.
“Mister Rory! Your arm!” cried Jace.
“Oh yea…” Rory said as he looked down
