Chapter 15: Trust Issues

Eden's P.O.V

I didn't tell Luke everything. I told him, I mean my phone told him, I do have a sister and now we're apart. But I didn't exactly tell him everything or anything. I had to get some of it off my chest.

Luke came over to my cabin again.

I'm assuming I didn't drive him away from my crying session then. Yesterday though. Is all I needed. To let what has been bottled up inside me for the past 8 years ago. I know I didn't say anything. I didn't have to. I just know he'll be there for me for some odd reason.

I like the sound of that. Even though he hasn't told me that exactly but his body language and his eyes are telling me: he will. But the way he acts, shows me that he will. It enlightens me. He is proving to me, not all guys are the same. I'm hoping he isn't, that he's different.

I don't want to doubt on him. But that urge still brings me back to memories. The reminders that I don't want to remember. I'm just going to force myself to sorta. Trust him. I shiver to the thought of it.

I think I'm starting to like him. I can't. I won't. He's a friend. Just a friend. But do I like the sound of that? I don't know.

His bright blue orbs staring at me. That dreamy smile. Those dimples that gets me every time. The lip ring that I really really really like on him. No, it's like a total turn on. Then when he stares at me... I feel like I'm dying, I think?

I shake the feeling off. I look away. But my stare just ends up back at him. What has gotten into me?

"Hey Eden," he walks through the door and sits down beside me.

I thought he was in the doorway for years. So much has crossed my mind for that long? He just walked through the door. I sigh. It was like the world was at slow motion.

I smile slightly. He blushes.

"How's the songs coming along?" He asks. His voice. I don't know why. But I like the accent. It fits him. So well.

I shrugged. Shit. Eden why! Just talk to him. But.. I can't.

He chuckles. Calming the air, I guess.

I looked at the time. So did he. We got up because it was time for the concert sort of thing.

He wanted to say something to me. I could tell by the way he stumbled but didn't know how to say it. It was cute. No. No it wasn't. I mean yeah. It is. But I don't want it to be. But I can't help it. I'm so torn.

"5SOS please come on stage," Marcy said. Interrupting both my thoughts and what he was going to say. He walked away and smile awkwardly. 

They did an excellent job once again, they sang What I Like About You, as their cover and End Up Here as the song they wrote. He stared at me the whole time singing both.

I smiled at him, I know he likes me, I'm just not sure how I feel about him. Not yet anyways.

"TheLostGirls please come on stage," Marcy snickered.

"Tonight TheLostGirls are singing a cover of Here's To Us by HaleStorm,"

Bonnie: We could just go home right now
Or maybe we could stick around
For just one more drink, oh yeah
Get another bottle out
Lets shoot the shit
Sit back down
For just one more drink, oh yeah

Me: Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we fucked up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few days
Have kicked my ass
So lets give em hell
Wish everybody well
Here's to us
Here's to us

Amber: Stuck it out this far together
Put our dreams through the shredder
Let's toast cause things got better
and everything could change like that
And all these years go by so fast
But nothing lasts forever

Me: Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few nights
Have kicked my ass
If they give you hell
Tell em to go fuck themselves
Here's to us
Here's to us

BreAuna: Here's to all that we kissed
And to all that we missed
To the biggest mistakes
That we just wouldn't trade
To us breaking up
Without us breaking down
To whatever's come our way

Me: Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we fucked up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few days
Have kicked my ass
So let's give em hell
Wish everybody well

Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few nights
Have kicked my ass
If they give you hell
Tell em to go fuck themselves
BreAuna: (Go fuck themselves)
Bonnie: Here's to us
Amber: Here's to us
BreAuna: Here's to us
Me: Here's to us

Me: Here's to us
BreAuna: Here's to us (Wish everybody well)
Bonnie: Here's to us
Here's to love
Amber: Here's to us

Me: Here's to us

I stared at Luke the whole time and every time I sang here's to us he would lift his hands in the air in approval. Then Arrissa started to do the beat of the song we wrote. Starting at a slower beat.

Me: I hate it when you see me cry
Your t-shirt soaked through from my eyes
When I'm not as tough as I should be
And you see the softest part of me
I hate it when you see me cry
Yeah, yeah hate it when you see me cry
yeah, yeah...

Bonnie: I hate it when I let you down
When your smile turns around
And I know I'm supposed to be the one that says, babe count on me
I hate it when I let you down

All: Oh, oh I... I'm your rock n' roll joan of arc
The queen of broken hearts
I'm here to save the world, but who will save super girl?
What if I'm weak and I need you tonight?
I hate it... I hate it when you see me cry
Yeah Yeah...

Amber: I hate that I need you now
To hold my hair, to hear me out
If I wake up on the bathroom floor
Will you still want me in the morning?
Oh babe, I need you now!

All: Oh, oh I... I'm your rock n' roll joan of arc
The queen of broken hearts
I'm here to save the world, but who will save super girl?
What if I'm weak and I need you tonight?
I hate it... I hate it when you see me cry

All: Oh, oh I... I'm your rock n' roll joan of arc
The queen of broken hearts
I'm here to save the world, but who will save super girl?
What if I'm weak and I need you tonight?
I hate it... I hate it when you see me cry
Yeah, yeah I hate it when you see me cry
Yeah, yeah, yeah

"That was very touching, now let's see what the judges say about this week," Marcy said.

6...

6...

6...

18?! What the heck! Are we losing... We didn't get a higher score that means we need to step up our game.

I looked down in disappointment. I walked off stage. I hate that feeling. That I just did something wrong. But I don't know what.
