Passion (H.S)

Chapter 23

Elizabeth'sp.o.v

After the meeting with Harry at his work, we both parted ways and went back to our own places. He had told me about the girl at the front desk, Riz was it? I was absolutly disgcusted with what he told me and automatically started hating on her for trying to get with Harry.

Right now I was sitting on my sofa going through my phone, eating strawberries. Oh my god! I never replied to Luke! Shit, he probably thinks I'm dead. I read through the text and begin to reply, he wanted to meet up with me if i was still alvie. Bloody idiot. If i was dead I wouldn't be able to tell him would I?

"Hi, Luke! No I'm not dead you idiot... So if you wanna meet up, I'm fine with that. When do you wanna catch up?" Luke replied not 2 minuets later.

"I knew you weren't dead! And I know if you were dead you wouldnt reply I was just trying to be funny ;) Are you free tomorrow?"

"Yeah I am. Wanna meet at starbuck at westfields?"

"Okay! Save our usual seat! :)"

"Sure thing, Lukey ;)"

I smiled at the thought of meeting up with Luke, I havn't seen him in like a year or something. It'd be nice to go back and see how everyone's doing now. I made a mental note in my head to actually go back to my town and see how everything is, maybe I could bring Harry. I thought to myself.

Once i had finished off with my strawberries i got up and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. After taking my sleeping pills i put a glass of water on the bedside table and plugged my phone into the charger. I got under my covers and opened the message app on my phone and texted Harry.

"Night Haz! <3" I sent the message and laid my head on the pillow as I waited a little bit for him to reply. Shit. what if he's asleep? Crap what if I woke him? What if he thinks it's clingy that I texted him? I thoughts were interrupted by the buzzing curb ration of my phone.

"Goodnight beautiful<3" I smiled at the text and put my phone down to get some sleep, looking forward to tomorrow.

~*~*~*~*~*~

I woke up naturally to the sound of birds and cars driving by. I stretched out my arms and legs, making an abnormal sound. Sitting up, I itched my head and yawned. It took me a while to actually get out of bed before stepping out of bed and into a puddle.

"Shit." I cursed. Looking down I saw the glass cup on the floor and all the water poured out, I remembered that I had a nightmare again and spilt it when thrashing around.

I picked up the glass and got a small towel and chucked on to the puddle before walking into the bathroom and turning the shower on. I stripped out my clothes and brushed my teeth before I got in under the warm water and cleaned my body and washed my hair.

Wrapping a towel around my body and head, I walked over to my wardrobe and began looking for something to wear to go and see Luke in. I pulled out white skinny jeans, with a navy shoulder blouse and my white heels to go with the outfit. Before getting dressed, I sit in front of the morrow on my desk and begin putting on my make up.

I applied eye liner, white eye shadow with mascara and clear lipgloss. Once finished I put my clothes on and let my hair down so it can dry naturally. I walk into the kitchen and do myself a bowl of cereal and milk as I turn the tv on and watch the music channel. After about 5 minuets i looked at the time and realized I needed to go if I wanted to be on time.

I grabbed my black short coat and my bag before leaving my apartment and heading down stairs to my car. I smiled at the receptionist as I walked past and into the car park, I got in my car and turned on the radio. capital began playing through out the car and I drove out the car park and made my way to westfields.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Once I was at westfields I parked my car and walked inside the huge shopping centre. Today it wasn't too packed, a lot of people but not too crowded. I made my way down the escalators and walked past the food court to one end of the building where starbucks was. I walked inside and up to the front counter to order my drink. I got my usual 'Caramel Frappuccino', it's amazing. I don't drink coffee or tea so milkshakes are my cup a tea.

They made my drink and put it in front of me, i took the cup and went to go and sit down. I made my way to the back near the window and sat down on the comfy chair, this is where Luke and I would sit when we came here. I smiled to myself at the memories we had here. After taking a few sips of my drink someone tapped me on the shoulder, causing me to turn round and face them.

"Lizzie?" I glanced up to see Luke looking at me with some type of longing. I put my drink down and jumped up, wrapping my arms around him hugging him tightly. He hugged me back, whispering my name in relief. I pulled back grinning at him.

"Luke! I haven't seen you in forever! How have you been? How is everyone?" I rushed, asking him a load of questions. He chuckled at me grabbing my shoulders and gripping them lightly.

"Lizzie, calm down! I'll answer your questions if you answer all mine." i nodded my head still smiling slightly. "Right, well sit down. I'm going to get a drink." he said before letting go of me and walking to the counter. I turned around and sat down, crossing my legs on my chair as i took a sip of my drink. Luke came back about 2 minuets later, taking a seat in front of me.

"Right. Okay lets start." He said, I grinned and asked him how he's been.

"I've been great but i should be asking you really, your the one who moved away without telling anyone and still till this day, no one knows where your living or what your doing. I mean seriously the whole town thinks your either dead or you've been kidnapped." He said to me, i frowned a little. The feeling of guilt sitting apon my shoulders.

" I-I know I left and left everyone behind but you have to understand that it was killing me back there, those few weeks i stayed i just couldn't cope with it i needed to get away as fast as i could even if that meant leaving without a goodbye." I said to him quietly as i looked at my drink, fiddling with the straw.

"Look I'm sorry, we were all just so worried. We knew it was hard for you so we didnt try to contact you cause we thought if you left like that you wouldn't want us too. But eventurally we all actually lost your number and stuff so we didn't know how to see if you were alright but when i found my old phone it still had your number so yeah, here i am." He smiled. 

"Well, I'm glad you still had my number." I smiled. "So, on a lighter subject how is everyone? I'm thinking about visiting." I said, Luke beamed at me and I grinned back at him.
