Crashing Down (book 2 of Popularity)

Chapter 16

I decided to skip school and go visit Luke.

I walked through the hospital doors up to the desk lady or whatever it's called.

"Luke Hemmings please"I said kindly.

"Room 147"She said.

"Thanks"I told her and started walking toward the elevators.

Once I saw his room number I ran through the door.

"Well hello there"I heard Luke say sarcastically.

"Hello"I simply said.

"It's very nice to see you"He said looking at me.

"You too?"I asked.

"How's your arm?" I said getting up and walking over to him.

"Eh could be better" He shrugged.

"Still same old cocky Luke" I said smiling.

"As always" He said winking.

"When do you get out?" I asked lightly brushing my fingers over his injured arm.

"Tomorrow" He said gulping.

I figured if I wanted the truth I would have to get it out of him sexually.

"I missed you..." I said getting closer to him.

"I-I missed you to" He stuttered.

"My life is so boring without you" I smirked putting hand over his.

"Same..." He said looking down.

"So why did you do it?" I asked

"Do what?" He said playing dumb.

"Deal the drugs? Was it to 'Get some money'?" I asked him.

"Kalel baby I needed it" He said grabbing my hand.

"You didn't need shit" I said starting to raise my voice.

I quickly pulled my hand away and turned around. I didn't have time for his dumb ass explanations.

"Kalel please" He said. I could hear him shuffling around in the hospital bed.

"I really did need it" He told me.

"FOR WHAT LUKE?!" I screamed loosing my cool.

Silence".

"LUKE IF YOU DONT ANSWER ME IM LEAVING" I said getting frustrated.

"3"

"2"

"1-Drugs" He cut me off.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Drugs" He repeated. "I needed it for drugs"

"Why would you deal drugs for drug money when you already had the drugs" I asked even more confused.

"That shit wasn't getting me high anymore. It wasn't giving me the same buzz I used to feel when I first started it" He said.

"Wow" Was all I could manage to say.

"Kalel im sorry I know I told you I would stop but I just can't" He said with his voice getting lower.

"I-I don't know what to say to you" U stuttered out.

"I'm so sorry" He apologized. But I didn't have time to hear him say sorry.

"I'm leaving" I said grabbing my phone and walking towards the door.

"I love you" Was the last thing I heard before I heard the door slam shut.
