Stuck With Two (Under MAJOR editting)

Chapter 42- The Lecture

'Nothing.' I lied and looked away. He cupped my face in his hands and said 'Don't you dare lie to me.' His eyes stared into mine. My words got stuck in my throat and I froze.

Tears ran out of my eyes and I threw my arms around him. You may ask why I did so, But sorry I don't have the answer. Maybe I needed someone to hug-

'Sh...It's alright. Whatever it is, you can talk to me about it.' He said patting my back. I sobbed.

I let him go and wiped my tears.

'So tell me. What's wrong?' He asked.

'It's just Luke.' I said and my voice broke. My eyes filled up with tears again.

'He is alright right?' he asked.

'Yeah he is.' I replied.

'It's just that.' I stopped.

'It's just what?' He asked pretty calmly.

'It's just that I don't know whether I deserve him or not!' I exclaimed. There is Shane who is acting calm even if he is annoyed. Here I am who is getting annoyed at him without any reason. What the hell is wrong with me?

'What makes you think that you don't deserve him?' he asked raising his eyebrows.

'I am such a bad person.' I said shaking my head vigorously.

'Who said?' He asked.

'I did! Just now!' I replied.

'You know what I think?' He asked.

I looked at him with my eyes full of tears.

'I think you are the most amazing and beautiful person in this whole world who deserves all the happiness.' He said with a soft smile.

My mouth parted a little in surprise.

'You are not a bad person. You are a really good person. I haven't met such a pure soul in my life.' He said.

Pure soul? Is he alright? He is praising me so much. Why?

'You are so naive and cute. Like- I don't even have words.' He said scoffing.

Did he just call me cute? 

'You deserve Luke. You deserve him.' He said forcing out a smile.

'But I am so selfish. He is in the hospital and I was munching on yummy waffles.' I said looking at him tearfully.

'So? Should you just starve? Because he is hurt?' he questioned me.

'You are not selfish, Erika.' He added.

'Am I pretty enough for him?' I blurted out.

He sighed.

'Have you seen your face in the mirror? You look like a complete angel.' He said. A blush emerged on my cheeks. He thinks I look like an angel......

'If anyone thinks you are ugly or something. They must be blind.' He said.

'He is so talented and I am just-' I stopped to think of a proper word.

'Dull.' I completed.

'GOD! Will you stop comparing yourself to him?' He exclaimed angrily.

'You are not dull. You haven't just discovered your talents yet.' He said.

'You are just trying to make me feel better.' I whined.

'I never lie.' He said as we both started walking.

'Are you positive about what you said?' I asked.

'Yes.' He replied.

'Thank you.' I said and smiled to myself.

'I just told you the truth.' He said and looked straight ahead.

Shane's words really made me feel better. I just can't believe Shane thinks that I look like an angel. Like what the hell? His words were comforting though. I am happy that he is there for me. I hope we are friends, Like FOREVER! 

I looked at him. His cheeks are red. Don't ask me why. Ask him. PFT! He looks so cute when his cheeks are all red. 

'What are you laughing at?' He asked without even looking at me.

'Nothing.' I replied controlling my laugh.

'Stupid.' he muttered and started walking faster.

'Hey wait up for me!' I said and I tried to walk as fast as him. Maybe things will get better between me and Shane. Maybe we will be friends like we used to be. I just have to give it some time.
