Friend Zoned | Luke Hemmings

Chapter 1

«Georgia»

I was walking on the path of Western Sydney with my best friend Alicia, talking amongst ourselves until her boy friend Luke showed up. "Hey baby," he smiled, kissing the hand he was holding of hers.

"Hey Georgie, didn't even see you there. What are you doing here?"

"Just come up for a holiday," I fake smiled at him and went back to scrolling through my phone.

"Mmm nice to see you too," he nudged me.

"I'm sorry Lucas, maybe if you still gave a fuck about me like you used to then I would be telling you all of this sort of stuff."

You see me and Luke were best friends, we had been since 3rd grade. But things changed after he starting dating my best friend Alicia and when his band started touring with One Direction. The part that sucked the most is that I haven't heard from him in 2 years. Not a phone call, email, text, absolutely nothing.

"Georgia what on earth are you talking about?"

"Stop playing dumb, I haven't heard from you in 2 years. If that's not completely accurate to you then you have a lot of explaining to do."

"Yes Georgia I screwed up okay, I haven't socialised with you in 2 years but I-I couldn't I-"

"Didn't have enough time for me?" I glared at him, watching his face drop.

"No Georgia stop please just listen to me."

"Why should I?"

"Please just trust me," he sighed gently rubbing his temples.

"Fine," I shrug.

Before he started to speak I looked around and realised Alicia had walked off.

"Look I wanted to speak to you but my management wouldn't let me a-and also Alicia wouldn't either.."

"What why?" I gasped. What could I have possibly done to Alicia for her to keep Luke away from me.

"Because I was in love with you," he sighed.

"Luk-"

"Yes Georgia I was in love with you," he sighed again cutting me off mid sentence.

"You're joking."

"I believe I'm not actually."

"Luke seriously.."

"Yes seriously, from the moment I met you I fell In love with you Georgia everything about you made feel so happy and content and really over protective."

"But why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I was afraid I would get rejected and I knew that I'd rather have as you as friend then nothing at all."

"Luke you know I was such an understanding and carefree person I would never hold it against you."

"But then Alicia asked me out and I knew it was the only way I could get over you."

"Oh."

"Look I know that may sound extremely self centred but it just didn't feel right when I had feelings for you and I needed to get over you I was so desperate to do anything to stop my feelings for you."

"Yeah I understand," I rolled my eyes.

"I'm sorry Georgia," he started to inch closer towards me leaning his arms out for a hug.

"Luke I understand now I don't need a hug," I laughed whilst pushing him away from me.

"Oh really you don't enjoy Lukey's cuddles?" He smirked knowing my answer to it was no.
