⁵ Hiding

Hiding

Luke was laying down on Ashton's couch, tall legs dangling from the end of it. One hand resting under his head and the other playing nervously with the necklace around his neck.

The necklace he didn't take off, and the reason why he didn't remained unknown, even for him.

His blue eyes were focused on the ceiling, traveling from one corner to another, as if, he'll find answers in the white corners. His mind was racing with thoughts and questions, between each thought and another was a question mark, and between each question and another was a blank, an empty space with no answers.

He has been setting like this for a few minutes now, but they felt like an eternity for him. After hearing Ashton's voice roar in anger at Kate for mentioning the t-shirt, he decided to go set alone.

Ashton's feelings towards Kate were blurry, he was annoyed that she told Bella that the shirt wasn't hers, while Kate, she felt bad for Bella.

She felt bad because everyone around Bella was hiding something, a secret. No one was giving her the answers she wanted, she looked like a fool, and for that, every ounce of Kate felt bad for Bella.

If it was up to Kate, she would've told Bella everything, starting with what happened exactly two weeks before her accident.

Only for her to decided that it's too early and leave the fun for later.

Kate walked inside, right to the blonde one, she slowly straddled Luke, running her hands up his chest.

" something on your mind? " She asked him, playing with the hem of his shirt playfully.

" get off me " Luke rolled his eyes, not even looking at her.

" chill, I don't bite " Kate smirked, biting her rosy lip.

" Kate, get the fuck off me " Luke groaned, grabbing her hands and pushing them away from his chest. " I'm not in the mood to deal with you "

" but you seemed interested in me at some point " Kate pouted, running her fingers over Luke's cheek.

" Kate " Luke sighed, removing her hand off his face and rubbing his eyes. " I was never interested in you "

" don't be so rude babe " Kate pouted, leaning in.

Luke put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her away. He wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone honestly, let alone Kate.

" leave me alone " Luke whispered. Kate tilted her head to the side, her lips were formed into a big pout, thinking her playful actions will make Luke softer with her.

" I can distract you- "

" just get the fuck off me and leave me alone " Luke finally snapped, pushing Kate further away from him.

If Luke had to rank his friends from most hated to least, Kate would be number two.

Number one is always a secret.

" when will you understand that I don't want anything to deal with you? " Luke told her. He was convicted that she had problems understanding him.

Luke didn't want anything to deal with Kate, he didn't want her talking to him, looking at him or even be near him. It was that simple, yet she never understood him.

" Kate did you se- " Calum entered the living room. Only to be shocked with the sight in front of him.

Kate on top of Luke.

Calum suddenly became nervous, his hands sweating instantly at the sight before him. So to avoid the awkwardness, he quickly turned around and left the living room, not saying a single word.
