LUKE'S POV
My heart shattered to pieces as Violet walked out the door with Ashton. She had on the dress that I picked out for her. Violet looked absolutely stunning. As they left the house, I ran up to the window to watch them leave. I know, it sounded creepy, but don't judge. I'm truly madly deeply in love with her and she doesn't even know... I think.
I huffed and sat on the couch. Calum came in and flopped down next to me. "What's up mate?" He questioned with a bit of concern in his eyes, which I appreciate.
"Do you want the truth?" I questioned.
"That would be helpful. I won't tell the rest of the band," he soothed me. Cake for life.
"Ok so there's this girl," was all I got out before I was bombarded with questions.
"Do I know her?"
"What color hair?"
"Where's she from?"
"Calum!" I yelled, "Let me finish!" He quieted down, but he was sitting on the edge of the cushion. "You know her. Her name starts with a V and ends with a T."
"You like Violet!" Calum hollered.
"Be quiet," I shushed him. "I have liked her ever since her New York performance of Amnesia. So basically love at first sight."
"Wow, I feel bad for you. She's on a date with Ashton. How are you going to win Violet over?" he asked.
"I don't really know yet."
Calum and I talked for about an hour and we didn't even notice the time. He went back up to his room and the doorbell rang. I went up to the front entrance and swung the door open. It was my ex-girlfriend. "Luke I miss you!" She exclaimed.
I missed Violet.
Out of nowhere she crashed her lips on mine. I kissed back immediately because I had a missing part deep inside. It felt like a piece of me wasn't even there anymore, like it completely vanished off the face of the Earth. But of course that was one of the biggest mistakes I could ever make because guess who walked in right at that moment.
Violet and Ashton.
I could heard her heart break. That's how much damage I have caused. Light pitter patters of her feet ran up the stairs. I broke away from the kiss and I darted up the stairs to catch her. I got my bandages off before I came to Australia and I was not looking for my fingers broken. I waited until I heard a loud bang.
I knocked on the door and whispered,"Violet, let me in. I have lots of explaining to do."
Sobs consumed the room and I felt absolutely horrible. I'm internally dying from the inside out. If I can't fix this, it will slowly eat away at me. I love her. I wouldn't be able to stand the fact that she hates me. I knocked again,but a little bit harder. "Unless your Ashton or Michael go away!" Violet screamed,but her voice cracked in the middle and it made the yell softer.
Why would she want Michael? Is there something I'm missing? I know Michael is an amazing friend, but is he really this close to Violet?
"It's Luke and I need to talk to you," I replied.
Michael then puts his hand on my shoulder and pushes me away. He knocked on the door and said "Can I come in? It's Michael."
Violet got up and unlocked the door. She opened it just enough for Michael to slip into her room. I trudged to my room and slammed the door in frustration. If she would only let me explain, but if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't let myself explain either. I did a horrible thing and it's gradually killing me.
VIOLET'S POV
Ok, so many of you maybe wondering, when did she get so close to Michael? That whole week before we left London we've talked non stop. He's my best friend. When I saw Luke kissing that girl, I swear you could hear my heart break all the way over in the U.S. I ran to my room and it sounded like a gun shot. Luke tried to get in, but I wouldn't let him. I soon let Michael in and I hugged him so tight, his heart stopped beating for a few seconds. We sat on the floor and I wiped my makeup on his shirt, at least he got changed into pajamas. I was still in the dress. "Michael,I'm going to get changed. I'll be right back," I informed him.
He gave me a small smile and I stepped into the bathroom. I got dressed in shorts and a tank top. I found fuzzy socks in the back of that ginormous closet and cleaned the rest of the makeup. I went back to where Michael was sitting and sat next to him. "How are you feeling?" He asked.
"I'm ok," I replied.
"Why were you crying?" concern filling his eyes.
"Boy problems," to put it simply.
"What did Ashton do I'm going to-" Michael said suddenly getting very angry.
"Calm down, my date with Ash was fine. It's Luke. I think I may have feelings for him. But Ashton took me on the nicest date and I finally smiled. A real smile not one of those fake ones," I argued with myself.
"Luke, really? I thought you liked Ashton," he said.
"I do. I think I like both of them. This is too hard. I can't do this," I told Michael.
"It's ok, go to Luke's room and let him explain. See how you feel after that," He reasoned.
"You're the best, I swear. Thanks for everything." I hugged him and walked to Luke's door.
I laid my hand on his door arguing with myself... Again. Just man up and do it. You don't have any reason to be scared. He's just explaining what he's done. I put my ear to the door and listened to what he was saying. "C'mon Luke. Why would you do that. You just hurt the girl you love because you were feeling bad she wasn't with you."
I knocked on his door and I could hear him sigh. The door knob twisted and in the doorway I saw a depressed Luke. His eyes looked swollen and puffy.We stared at each other for another minute and I tried to contain myself. "So can I come in?"
"Yeah," Luke said.
I walked into his room and it was a complete disaster. I know he was frustrated, it's not his fault. I should've let him explain. I sat on his bed and Luke sat next to me. "Listen Lu-" I started.
"No let me talk first. Violet, there are so many things I want to say to you, but my nerves were too crazy. The words get stuck in my throat like someone personally glued them there and you would have to rip them out for me to say them. The first time I met you was the first time I have experienced love at first sight. I never knew that it existed, but ever since you came into my life, my heart has opened up and you were the one who held the key to unlock it. Violet, will you do me the honors of taking you out on a date?"
My heart melted at his words. No one has ever spoken to me like that. I had one serious boyriend and back then, my heart was made of glass and he shattered it. Now it's made of metal and can survive many more heart breaks.
"Yes."
