Don't cry I am here for you - a Luke and Alex story

Chapter 4

Alex's pov

"Hey, honey. I am really glad that you are joining us today.", spoke my mom to me. I just answered "mhm" I wasn't happy that I needed to be there tonight. I wanted to stay with Luke because I felt so sorry for him and he still wasn't good with what happened between him and his parents. Yesterday was nice with the boys, I wish I could be with them today, but my parents didn't even allow me to step one foot out of our house. When we ate breakfast, it was really quiet. My mom tried to have a conversation with me, but I only gave her short answers like yes, mhm, no. "Alex? Why are you always with the boys and never with us? You know that your home is here and not this old garage where you used to play music, do you?" "Yes, I know that my home is here, but Luke really needs me right now!", I screamed, because all I could think of is that I left him alone today and he is there alone in that garage. "What has this to do with Luke?", she asked in a quiet voice, because she probably noticed that I wasn't feeling good. I breathed in and breathed out and then I answered clam:" Luke had a huge fight with his parents, because of our band and he ran away from home. He lives in the garage right now and I want to help him to get the things with his parents right, but this only works when I am with him there. Can I please go to him so he doesn't have to have the feeling that nobody cares about him?" "Honey, we talked about this already. Your dad and I want you to stay here today. Tomorrow you can go to the garage again but today is a family day. "The moment she said this I immediately went to my room. My mom came behind me and talked to me for like an hour until I agreed with staying here for the whole day.

In the evening, my mom called me for dinner. I didn't want to eat anything because I wasn't feeling that good. But anyways I came downstairs and to my surprise, I saw my dad sitting there. I thought he was on a business trip and wouldn't come back until the next week. He was an extremely strict man, so I just said hello to him and that I was surprised that he was here so soon. At first, it was quiet but then my mother interrupted the silence. "What is there between you and Luke?" I could feel the shaking in her voice. "I don't know what you mean. We are just friends and I really care about him and I just want to help him with his parents. He needs my help, and I will always be there for him!" "But why does he need your help, I thought it was about him and his parents and not about you?", answered my dad. "I know that it's not about me but I need to help him because when I am not there for him, he has no one. Yes, Reggie and Bobby are there too, but Bobby hasn't even noticed that he was still in pain and Reggie can't be there that much because he needs to help his parents with their store. And Luke and I are very close, he is my best friend, and I am his!", I was getting louder with every sentence I said and then I finally went to my room and slammed the door. I was so upset.

The next morning, I woke up at 6 am and I needed to be incredibly quiet, so my parents won't wake up. I packed up some stuff so I could stay in the garage for the next night. I also grabbed an old DVD with me so Luke and I could watch it in the evening. I closed the door and grabbed my bike and drove to the garage. When I arrived Luke was still asleep and I watched him a little while, but then he woke up and when he saw me next to him he smiled. "Hey, what are you doing here? It is like 7 o'clock, isn't it?" "Yes it's seven am, but I needed to walk away from my home. My parents annoyed me so much, but now I can stay here the whole day. Did you had a good dream?" "Yes, I dreamed about our band playing in the Orpheum, just like we always dreamed about." I just laughed a little and then he stood up and we went for a walk. We stopped at Lando's to grab some buns and then went back to the garage. We talked a lot about everything and I was just so happy to be there with him. He makes me feel better, it's like I have butterflies in my stomach, every time he laughs. I really don't know what's happening to me. When we arrived at the garage Reggie was already there and he was really happy that we brought breakfast with us. Bobby wouldn't come today, so I could use the chance to talk to Reggie. After breakfast Luke went for a walk himself, he told us he would be back in an hour. "Hey Reggie, can we talk?" "Yes of course. What's up buddy?" "I don't know how to say this... You know I spend much time with Luke for the past few weeks, right? Yeah, I know this may sound weird, but I think I have a little crush on him, but I don't know how to tell him and especially my parents." I was so nervous because he was the first one I told about how I really felt and now that I said it out loud it was just so real. When I looked into Reggie's face he smiled, he had the biggest grin on his mouth. I was a little confused about it. "So at first thanks that you told me I am really happy for you. Second thing is that I noticed that like a week ago, but I am really happy for you bro. So what do you want to tell your parents? I think you should tell them the way you feel even if you are scared they should know who you are and who you love." "Thank you Regg, I think I'm going to tell my parents today. Was it so obvious with my feelings about Luke?" " Yeah, kind of" Reggie smiled and I hugged him and whispered, thank you buddy you really helped me.

I was so freaking nervous to knock at our door, but I need to tell my parents about how I feel. So I breathed in and out and took all my brave together and knocked. My mom opened the door and was happy to see me, she hugged me instantly, but I just said, that we needed to talk. So I sat down, my mom and dad next to me, and began to talk " So, I think I figured something out..." "Yes hun, what's up?", my mom had a worried look on her face. " I- I think that I like men..."
