Tangled || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 19

19.

I weakly dropped myself on to the floor as I immediately opened the text messages with my trembling hands.

I remember how the shivers quickly rushed in my vein as I read each words of the text messages Luke sent me.

“Hazel Singleton, I hope you’ll be happy from now on.”

“I hope your boyfriend would be there when you need him. I hope he would randomly take you to the swimming pool in his house, because I know he also has one, even just to sit with you by the pool and tell each other your stories or go swimming with you. I hope he would also buy you your favorite milkshakes and eat pizza like he hasn’t had anything for 3 days with you.”

“I used to like you a lot, but I realized it was a mistake. I know you were perfectly fine with Patrick, you liked him a lot too though, until I came to your life without a warning and ruin everything. By having me, it would cause so much trouble in your life. I’m sorry I’ve guilt tripped you so many times, I know this is hard for you but don’t worry because I wouldn’t be there to do anything to you anymore.”

“I surely would miss when I had the thought that you and I were possibilities, even when there was no way that I could be with you. I would miss seeing you and hanging out with you without wondering if that’s the wrong thing to do; if you’re thinking about your boyfriend. I would miss seeing your eyes and your beautiful smile as well. I will also miss the scent of your body and your hair. I will miss your laugh and your existence in my life. Damn, I guess I would have a hard time forgetting about it all, but I have to move on from the best time of my life.”

“I want you to be happy, and you should be by now because I no longer could be with you and make your life even more tangled.”

“You being happy is so much more important than me being happy”

“Because you being happy, makes me happy.”

“And I think you could be happy again by forgetting what we had done for the past few weeks or months. You can do that Hazel, you were happy before there was me in your life, now I want you to forget about me and be happy as you were before you even notice me at the café for the very first time.”

“You don’t need to worry about me anymore.”

“I think you’d be even happier without me and your life would be even more perfect.”

“You being happy, makes me happy too.”

“With all the love I should buried in the back of my mind and should never come back, -Luke”

My body was numb, my tears started to run down my cheek making me drown in my own tears as I tightened the grip of my phone. What happened to Luke? Why did I do wrong to him that makes him leave me? What does he means by leaving?

My hands were shaking and my fingers weren’t as steady when I texted him back. My head hurts, I could not think straight. This wasn’t because of the alcohol I had, I’m pretty sure.

“Luke, what do you mean by you no longer could be with me?!”

“Lucas, please tell me you’re joking”

“Luke”

“Luke Robert Hemmings”

“Luke, you’re not leaving me clueless like this, right?”

“Luke, please don’t ever leave me”

“What did I do wrong that makes you leave me without any warning like this?!”
