*Abuse, language*
(Alex's POV)
I don't even know why i'm crying. I guess it's because of Luke. And that song. Did he really mean he didn't mean to write it. I loved it and it made me feel loved but if he didn't mean it...
Luke gets up and sits next to me. He'd been singing quietly for the past 10 minutes or so. I look at Reggie. He seems to be asleep.
"Can we talk now?" Luke whispers. I nod wondering whether we were still pretending not to be together. "Um... I guess you know how I feel about you now." He winks and flicks his head slightly in Reggie's direction. I know what he means.
"Yeah I do." I stay silent for a couple seconds then say, "And I loved the song, it was great but I... Luke I... can't say that I feel the same way about you."
"And I didn't expect you to, that's why I didn't want you to see. I didn't want you to think I was... weird or something."
"Why would I think that? Your a great guy Luke and I would love to have someone like you, but I don't want to hurt you by dating you when I... when I don't feel the same way." He nods and fake tears stream from his eyes. He's pretty good at fake crying I must admit.
"Can we st...still be friends?" Even the sob sounded realistic.
"Yeah of course we can." I smile nervously at him and he smiles back.
"Damn I wanted you guys to get together." I jump and look at Reggie. He's looking sadly at us both.
"Well I was hoping for that too but I don't mind." Luke says and he looks at me. His eyes glistened with the fake tears and his puppy dog eyes make him look irresistible. I kiss Luke, without thinking and Luke responds, kissing me back. I pull away quickly and whisper,
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't've kissed you... I know how you feel... about me..." I get up and Luke says,
"Where are you...?"
"I can't... do this right now." I run out and Luke shouts my name.
(Reggie's POV)
I see why Alex kissed him. Luke looked pretty kissable just then, and it must've been hard since Alex was gay. Luke just watched as Alex left, looking pretty miserable.
"How was the kiss?" He glares at me. "Oh sorry." I mutter looking at my bass resting up against the wall.
"It was... pretty good." Luke said and I look at him.
"Really?"
"It was pretty good considering he's never kissed anyone before." My jaw drops.
"Alex... he's never had...?" Luke shakes his head. I thought someone like Alex would've had a boyfriend at some point, he's so kind, caring and from what Luke told me, just amazing. I'd never had a partner either and I wanted one but no one likes me. Only Luke, Bobby and Alex talk to me at school.
Dad kept reminding me of that, everyday.
"No ones ever gonna want you! You're that dumb that no girl will even look at you before they move on to the next guy! And if they date you, there's something seriously wrong with them!" The first night, I cried myself to sleep. The second night, again I cried myself to sleep. Luke, Bobby and Alex don't know Dad makes me not want to be alive.
But Luke and Bobby saved me, Sunset Curve saved me. If they hadn't spoken to me that day in music, I think I'd be dead right now.
"Reg? You still with me?" I snap out of my thoughts and look at Luke. "What's up?"
