Disconnected

Chapter 10

Alaska's POV-

"Again... I'm really sorry about your cardigan..." I say quietly. The boys are talking downstairs and I see Ashton breathing heavily. Luke's mouth is bloodied up, he has a swollen lip, and he's panting.

"Guys! What the hell happened?!" Athena shouts.

"Luke being a bitch to my sister happened!" Ashton shouts at Athena.

"Guys... Don't fight." I say quietly.

"Being a bitch to your sister? She's the tramp who decided all of a sudden she wants me!" Luke screams.

"Don't-"

"Enough!" I scream. The boys don't pay attention. In the instant, Ashton lunges at Luke. I try to pull Luke away, but I'm not strong enough. Michael grabs Luke, helping me pull him back. Athena does the same for Ashton, but she can't do it so Calum helps.

"Rooms! Now!" We both shout. Athena goes to Ashton's room with him, and I drag Luke to my room.

-

"You can't just keep fighting like this over the stupidest reason." I say quietly. Luke looks me in the eyes.

"Really? I'm not the tramp who suddenly decided that I want to get with the one who confessed their feelings to someone who left for tour for over half a year!" He shouts.

"I never said I didn't love you! After all of that happened with Seth, I was confused..."

"Oh, come. On!" He says. "Ashton warned you, he warned you a million times; you never fucking listened!" He shouts. I groan.

"I don't need this speech again!" I scream.

"What?"

"I had the speech from Ashton, a bit from Athena, and now from you? Luke... I would never, ever, ever lie to you about loving you. I just wouldn't... That is the most awful, painful, and absolutely heartbreaking thing to feel or do to someone like you... Luke, you are one of the most amazing, funny, talented people I have ever met and I would never hurt you like that... Luke; I love you to the moon and back. And I'm a complete idiot to never realize that before, I wish I would've known before you left." I say.

"Alaska... I'm so sorry..." He says. I shrug, and he wraps his arms around me tightly. I hesitate, but eventually wrap mine under his.

"It's okay Luke." I say, he kisses the top of my head.

-

We go and sit on my bed, I look at Luke. He smiles at me, then bites his lip. I sit against my backboard, my face to his. He smiles at me, sitting where one arm is over me. His waist is at mine, one arm trapping me on the bed. I breathe deeply.
I press one hand to his face, caressing his cheek. He turns his face into my cheek, he looks at me; his eyes on my lips. I pull his face to mine; inches away I smell the mint of his breath.

He looks into my brown eyes, I lean forward, the door bursts open; standing there is a surprised three-fourths of Five Seconds Of Summer and a surprised Athena. He slams his hand on the bed, making me jump. I blush as Athena grins at me.

"I'll see you later Alaska," Luke nods at me.

"Okay... You don't have to leave," I say.

"Yeah... I do." Luke says. With that, he's gone.
