Come Away With Me {The Intermission Project} // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr4foPlEpp8
I took a deep breath and looked at Luke. He had pleading eyes that made it even harder to choose. Here's the thing about Luke. He hasn't been there for me like Stiles has, but I have a feeling he will be. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed these cute and charming things about him. Like how he’s nicer, and funnier, and honestly a gentleman.
But Stiles. That kid I’ve known since high school and has helped me through every single problem that has arisen in my life, no matter how stupid. He’s the one I text and call every night and he came all the way out from Australia to see me.
Then again, Luke has mood swings. I learned that from Michael and I haven’t had to deal with them yet, but I’m scared I will. Stiles is dominant. Very controlling. To him, if he doesn’t like something, I can’t like it. And I hate that.
I looked at Luke again and his lips were pressed into a thin line. “Neither”, I exhaled the breath I didn’t even know I was holding. “I’m not ready to choose Luke, I didn’t even know that I would have to. I’m not a toy Luke, I don’t belong to anybody. I need time”, I explained and he nodded, and put his head down.
I felt like crying. I didn’t want to hurt him. So I decided that it was best if I just left to get some air. I got up slowly and pulled down my shirt, and walked towards the door.
“Where are you going?” he said quietly. “I’m just worried because you don’t know your way around”, he explained and got up to look at me.
“Just to the pool, get some air”, I said and he nodded. My gut told me that I should go and give him a hug, I mean I am practically breaking his heart. But I couldn’t get myself to do it, so I just left.
Luke ☾☽
I get it. I get why she wouldn’t want to be with either of us. But I need us both to figure out now. So Stiles, doesn’t my only chance of finally being with her. I didn’t like to think of her as a toy, which I’m not, because she’s anything but a toy. I just want her to be happy, and I highly doubt she will with him.
When she left the other day I could see him just staring at her ass as she walked away. We all know what he’s here for. I just decided to lie down on the couch, watch, and wait for her to come back. Or one of the guys to come over. Whichever comes first. I flipped to different channels and stopped at a Gossip channel talking about our band. Or more specifically, me.
“And who’s that girl he’s been hanging out with? She’s with everyone else too, but Luke hasn’t posted anything about her”, one of the girls asked.
“I don’t know but I think they’re living together”, the other girls ooo’d and I rolled my eyes.
“Who cares?” I said out loud not talking to anyone in particular. “I like Tina, and I like that she’s living with me and I like her face and how she laughs at everything and I like how she sings in the shower and talks to other people and I like how she dances around the kitchen when she cooks, god dammit I love her!” I stopped. No. I did not just say that. I did not just say I love Tina.
“I knew it!” Stiles came stumbling through the door, drunk. Tina wasn’t with him and I’m glad she wasn’t. “Well too bad buddy because you were too slow”, he slurred.
“Stiles”, I stood up and he kept stumbling over himself towards me. “I told her, she said she doesn’t want to choose right now”
“Bullshit!” he yelled and I took a couple steps back when he moved towards me. “She likes me, not some loser like you. Do you know how much you hurt her?”
I felt a pang in my chest. I know I hurt her, a lot, and I hated myself for it. “That was a long time ago”.
Stiles moved forward even more and I stopped moving because the only thing behind me was the couch. He stood only a couple feet away from me. “It doesn’t matter”, he lifted his arm and tried to swing at my face but I moved away, causing him to fall and hit his head on the armrest and black out. What does Tina see in this guy?
After like 30 minutes of loud grunting and not enough arm strength, I finally got Stiles up onto the couch. He wasn't bleeding and he woke up a few times but then fell back asleep so I'm pretty sure he's fine. Pretty sure.
Tina finally came in and just went straight to the bedroom. I was on one of the chairs just scrolling through twitter, seeing the weird things girls were tweeting me. A lot of it had to do with sex and jesus.
I walked into the room and Tina was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. I crawled in next to her and slipped under the covers. "I'm sorry", I said softly.
I heard her sigh and was suddenly tense at the thought of her being awake. "For what?" she replied. It was soft and rough, like she had been crying.
"For everything. You don't deserve it", I turned to look and her and she was sitting up. She moved her legs indian style and looked at me.
Tina ☁ ☂
I looked at Luke. His hair was messy, probably from his beanie he always wore. I remember walking in and seeing Stiles drunk and passed out on the couch, while Luke remained where he was.
When I told Stiles that I had to think about it, he left. Now I'm here with a completely sober Luke who just wanted to make me happier. I cried because I know I hurt them both.
"Tina...there aren't many things to like about me. I can be an ass, and I can be very ignorant and everything but there's one thing, I'm not selfish. I wil always put you in front of everything that happens to us", I felt like crying again. Us. He said us. "I chose you to be my arranged girlfriend on purpose"
"You didn't even look at me in high school and now you chose me out of all people", I looked at Luke sternly.
"Tina, I chose you the day I laid eyes on you"
"What...what do you mean?" I asked and moved so I was facing him.
Luke was looking down at his phone that he kept switching between his hands and bouncing on the bed. He sighed and looked at me. "I've liked you since high school. I never talked to you because I was scared you would reject me", I felt frozen in place. "When my manager asked me who I wanted...it only took me a minute to realize it was you".
I smiled slightly and moved closer to him. He was sitting his his legs stretched out so I put my legs over his and snuggled underneath his arm. He pulled me against him with his arm around my shoulder.
"The past is the past, you idiot", I said quietly and he chuckled. "I don't want you to ask what this means for us because right now I'm just really enjoying being close to you", he nodded and kissed the top of my head which gave me chills.
Sooner or later we were lying down and my head was on his chest while his arm was draped under my head, and our legs intertwined. I loved it so much.
Maybe I do choose Luke
