Note: Double update because Spring Break ends today for me.

>>>

Time: 11:22 pm.
Setting: Luke's Room. Room 343.

Aleisha: (knocks on door, Luke opens the door and she follows him into the living room where he flops down) Alright. Tell me what happened.

Luke: (mumbles angrily into his couch cushion, pulls head up) Ugh. Stupid idiot, motherfucker. How dare he?

Aleisha: How dare who? (frowns) Lucas, you don't text me when I'm watching Once Upon a Time reruns saying that you're gonna kill someone and don't explain the details.

Luke: (sighs, slumps onto the couch, holds phone out to Aleisha) Look.

Aleisha: (grabs phone, looks at messages, eyes widen) He wrote you a song.

Luke: (groans angrily) And he put it on his damn album! And the asshole had the audacity to send me a free copy!

Aleisha: It's just a song. (puts phone on table) So what?

Luke: A song about me! (punches ground) About us! He does this four months after we break up! Four months, Ally!

Aleisha: (sighs, squeezes herself between Luke and the couch cushion) You need some cuddles, Mr. Punk Rock.

Luke: (frowns) I need to beat that asshole's face in.

Aleisha: (spoons Luke) Delete the song. Tell him to stop messaging you. You don't need his bull.

Luke: (small) I hate him...it's a stupid song, anyway. He's stupid.

Aleisha: I'm sure that it is.

Luke: And he has this stupid chorus. Something about fire and gasoline.

Aleisha: (sleepy) I'm sure. (yawns) Sleep now.

10 minutes later...

Luke: (pulls away from Aleisha, crawls over to his phone, unlocks it and puts earphones on and starts singing along) "I need to do something, I fucked up for nothing. Now I gotta just tell someone, tell someone what I've done." (sniffles, shaky) "Please, bathe me, now. Wash me clean. Just set my heart on fire...like gasoline..."

Note: If you haven't already realized the name of the song that Luke is singing, look at the video for this chapter or Google the lyrics. If you still can't figure it out then, my dear child, you probably need help.

And if you already figured who the mystery ex is, kudos to you, sweetheart.
