Unforgettable | Ruke Fanfic

Chapter 20

Alex's POV

I walk down the busy street if Hollywood Boulevard already feeling terrible for fighting with Reggie. We fight a lot, and each time I feel horrible. He always says it's fine, that he forgives me and maybe he does but I still can't help but feel like I hurt him every time.

I'm the worst friend ever, I'm the reason he died. If I never got mad at him that night he would have never went home.

I just, I just can't trust Luke because of who Bobby is. But I know that Reggie likes Luke a lot, he's had a crush on him without knowing it since seventh grade. At least as far as I know. I just don't want him getting hurt, but so far I'm the only one that's hurt him.

"Hey." A voice says. It was the ghost I met earlier, Willie. "You seem a little anxious, you okay?"

"Yeah, no it's just...first band practice didn't exactly go too well." I say. "I got in a fight with my best friend, I mean we bicker and disagree a lot but I just feel bad. The night we died....we got in a fight and we died without being able to makeup."

"We'll you made up now didn't you?" He asks.

"Yeah but we got in another fight." I say. "He trusts Luke, I don't."

"Luke is one of the most caring people you'll ever meet." Willie says. "You probably don't trust him because of his old friend Bobby, but he's nothing like him."

"I think deep down, I know that, it's just...I know Reggie really likes him, and the truth is I don't want to lose him. I don't want him to forget about me. And that's selfish I know,-"

"I get it." Willie says. "You two are close. You'll always be close, but if Reggie is in love with Luke you gotta let him have that. And he'll still be there for you, and when you find the one for you he'll be happy for you."

"Yeah, yeah you're right." I say. Somehow this stranger I just met knew exactly what to say to make me feel better. My heart flutters around him and I swear he glows and sparkles. I think I have a crush on him.

"Yeah, do you wanna hang out?" Willie asks. "I know a good way to relive some stress." He smiles.

"I'd love to." I smile back.

Reggie's POV

Me and Samantha poof to the beach although I'd much rather find Alex or Luke a d talk to them and try to get them to get along. Alex will rejoin the band, I know he will. We all had so much chemistry it's like we've been playing together for years.

"Alex will come around." I tell Samantha.

"And tote sure about that?" Samantha asks. "I mean, I hate to be the one to tell you but Alex is right."

"About what?" I ask.

"About Luke." She says. "He didn't even want to be in a band in the first place but Caleb forced him into it. He does t care about you or Alex and honestly I wouldn't put it past him to try and get rid of you guys like he did his last band mates that Caleb placed him with."

"Get rid of?" I ask. "What do you mean get rid of?"

"They just disappeared. No doubt did Luke have something to do with it. She's the the paid them to leave or something more sinister, no one knows, but no one trusts him." Samantha says. "All I'm saying is be careful."

"But I don't think he would do anything to hurt anyone, he seems awesome." I say. "And I can't help but feel I've known him my whole life."

"You just met him, you can't trust him." She says.

"Well if that's the case I can't trust you either." I say.

"Oh come on Reggie, you can trust me."

"But by your logic I can't because we just met." I say. "You can warn me about Luke all you want but I'll judge him when he gives me a reason to, not anybody else." I say and I poof away.

Luke's POV

I poof away and sit on a park bench. I'm tired of everyone judging me just because I joined a stupid band with Bobby. I wish I never did, I wish I would have just stuck to a solo act. But the truth is I don't want to be a solo act, I want a band to call my family. I thought I'd have that with Bobby, and we did at first but then he turned into a total jerk and I felt like couldn't do anything about it.

I should have stopped being his friend or told him to stop being a jerk but I was even afraid to stand up to him. He said if I ever tried he'd make me regret it. Do I didn't yet here I am, dead because I'm pretty sure he poisoned me.

At least Reggie seems to want give me a chance. I really like him too. He's so sweet and his smile is just perfect. I love the way he really gets into a song, and when our eyes meet I feel like I'm staring at the love of my life, like I've loved him for a thousand years.

He creeps into every thought I have and just thinking about his smile makes me smile. I want to know him, but the truth is it feels like I've already known him my whole life.

You know what, next time I see him I'm gonna go for it. I'm gonna ask him out.
