✔️Bright: The after life ||luke Patterson||

23: What would you do?

As the two ghosts reappeared in the studio, the two boys noticed the rather odd look on Luke's face. It wasn't all the time that he was upset.

"Luke.. you alright?" Alex hesitantly asked, knowing this conversation could take a turn and cause Luke to freak out at the boy.

blake frowned at rubbed the brunettes back, "we were at my house talking to quinn and my mom came in saying that she was going to lukes house for dinner tomorrow." the girl said, noticing the nod come from alex.

"so wait, quinn actually spoke to you?" reggie asked, scratching the back of his head.

blake nodded, looking at the boys and seeing a shocked look from all but Luke. "whats with the look? i knew about her date and what happened so why are you two looking at me like that?"

alex looked at the girl and smiled. "nothings wrong blake, we are just happy she has at least spoken to someone. julies been freaking out because quinn was avoiding everyone." the blonde boy stated, blake nodding her head.

blake looked up at the time, noticing the clock said two am. she knew it was at least twelve because thats when they left the ghost club. "ok look, i have missed you guys and all, but im extremely tired so some sleep would make my night even better." she said, lifting up the blanket the was folded on the couch bed and wrapping it around herself.

luke smirked at the girl as she hopped onto the bed, the tightly wrapped blanket around her wouldn't let her move.

the brunette boy eventually made his way onto the bed too, pulling the blanket wrapped girl closer to him. it was obvious that the boys love language was his sense of touch. the only person he ever let hug him or even touch him was blake though, any other girl who tried would get rejected.

.......................

as the hours of the night went by, blake was sound asleep in lukes arms. the brunette boy that held her was making sure she was ok as he stayed awake all night.

luke didnt mind being awake, the silent room bringing him peace.. or the fact that the girl he loved the most was back in his arms.

the boy still cant believe that he managed to get with blake. he always figured she would be too scared to find love again after what michael did to her. there was a point between the three months where blake lost her spark, or what alex would call "the michael effect" only because thats what he caused.

...................................

flashback: 1 week after the breakup with michael

"hey- whoa someone isnt in a good mood today.." bobby said as the four boys approached blake at her locker, doing their best to lookout for her.

the brunette girl was wearing something the popular group would call "homeless clothes" but what blake called comfortable. the baggy black sweatpants and the red school hoodie, topped with a signature ponytail and no makeup.

"why would i be in a good mood asshole." she said, turning her head to look at the boys.

"because your all time favorite group of boys just showed up at your locker to tell you we have a gig tonight!" luke said , squinting his eyes as a storm of anger formed on blakes face.

she rolled her eyes and shut her locker, staring at the boys. "and the only female that any of you have interacted with is standing here to tell shes not in the mood." she said, crossing her arms over the textbook she held.

alex laughed and said "jokes on you, i dont even like girls."

reggie giggled too while luke nudged his arm. "look blake, maybe the gig will cheer you up. i dont want you to get too upset about that idiot." luke said hesitantly stepping forward, only for the girl to glare at him.

"im perfectly fine. im totally over it actually. i'll see you in science and you three in lunch." blake said, turning around and walking off, leaving the boys at her locker.

"i think shes warming up to us." reggie said, bobby shaking his head and rolling his eyes. "did you miss when she totally snapped at us?" bobby asked.

alex nodded, responding for the dark haired boy as they all left for their class.

"whats with the look sunset?" the boys first period teacher asked luke, noticing the frown he had plastered on his face.

luke looked up at the teacher, shaking his head. the boys were the first ones there in the class anyways so luke decided to talk about it. "blakes upset over a stupid boy and now she doesnt want to perform tonight."

"well, everyone eventually needs a break, am i correct mr patterson?" Mr Martin said, nodding his head at the boys.

"yeah but she never misses our gigs." bobby added, the boys nodding to agree.

"think of it this way. look, a girl or guy is messing with how you feel and your upset. your so upset that your snapping at the people you love the most. do you go out and be around more people you could snap at, cry in your room all night, or be around the people you love the most and seek for help?" mr martin said, noticing that the other students were were entering the room now.

"think about it." he said, now paying attention to the other kids in the room.

the four boys turned to face eachother. they knew that if helping blake meant cancelling tonights gig, thats what they were going to do. performing without her wasnt something any of them like to do, especially since its never really happened.

........................

as the end of the school day came, the four boys waited by bobbys car for the short brunette to come out. they wanted to catch her before she tried to walk home.

blake eventually approached the boys, sliding into the passengers seat. "blake we have good news!" luke said as he got into the car, shutting the door.

"if you say we have a gig tonight one more time..."

"we cancelled." bobby said, starting his car and driving away.

blake looked at the group in shock. "wh-what? why did you cancel?" she asked, knowing the boys couldve managed playing without her for once.

"because we would rather spend time with you than force you to perform." luke said with a smile as the girl turned around to face the back.

"yeah and we want to make sure your ok." alex said with a smile, blake smiling back.

"you four are idiots." she said with a laugh. "you could've performed without me."

reggie shook his head. "nope. thats not possible. one of us would probably break something and get kicked out." the dark haired boy said, blake laughing at how true that is.

"so once we get back to the studio, we are going to all hangout and forget about that idiot." luke said, smiling at the girl.

blake nodded. she was grateful for her friends. she knew that if they ever needed to, they would drop everything and help her whether it was boy problems or any problem she needed help with.

they were her everything.
