➳Luke's POV
As I walked away from Alaina, tears poured down my face. I didn't care about the looks that I was receiving while I walked.
I got into my car and left the mall. I sat in the parking lot for a while contemplating what just happened.
Just when I won her back I fucking let her go.
I looked back at the mall doors to see her walking out. She had her head buried in Michael's neck as they walked. He held her close to his body and comforted her. They went and sat at a bench that was in the front of the mall. They hooked their hands together. I couldn't really see her face because she had it still buried in Michael's neck.
It sickened me to see her being comforted by someone who wasn't me.
If only I didn't screw up, then she wouldn't have to be comforted by Michael.
I got a text on my phone. It was her;
I can't believe you just let me at the mall. how am I supposed to get home?
I ignored her message and turned my phone off. I threw it into the backseat.
I looked back to Alaina to see Michael still comforting her.
I put my car into drive and drove away from the mall.
The tears were still falling down.
It was like all the feelings that I felt the first time I lost her, came rushing back.
The tears within my eyes clouded up my vision.
I pulled over on the side of the road, so that I wouldn't get hurt.
Why did I end things with her? Why was she with Michael? Why was I so fucking stupid?
Why is everything so complicated?

➳Alaina's POV
"Everything is going to be fine." Michael cooed in my ear. I pulled away and looked up at him. Tears flowed out.
"No it's not, Michael. Everything is ruined. He was the only person really there for me when I didn't have anyone." I sobbed.
Michael rubbed my lower back and comforted me, whispering soothing comments in my ear.
"Um, excuse me?" A voice said.
I looked up with my puffy red eyes, to see her.
The girl that Luke was with in the food court.
"I just wanted to apologize about what happened back there. I had no idea that Luke was seeing someone. I feel so horrible." The random girl apologized. I really wanted to dislike the girl because I mean she was on a date with my boyfriend.
Well, ex-boyfriend.
But just like she said, she didn't know.
I gently smiled at her, "It's not your fault. We were already having problems before today. Did Luke leave you?"
The girl nodded her head yes,"But I have a friend coming to pick me up. They should be getting here soon."
I felt so horrible. First Luke and I break up then this girl comes up to me and tells me that Luke lied to her.
Luke wasn't who I thought he was at all.
"Okay, I'm Alaina by the way." I introduced myself.
If Luke was going to lie to the poor girl and leave her then I might as well act civil.
"I'm Riley."

I really didn't want to go home after everything that happened. One of the reasons was because my parents were still dealing with their divorce and the lawyers have been coming to my house and my parents are constantly fighting. It's just keeps getting worse.
Why does everything have to fall apart right when everything seemed so right?
I decided to stay over at Michael's.
I called my mom and told her that I was staying with my friend "Michelle". She of course believed the lie.
Michael and I were currently swinging on the swing set in the back of his yard. It's an old rusty swing that he had ever since he was little. He said that his parents won't get rid of it because it has a lot of memories.
The breeze blew through my air as I swung the swing higher and higher.
"I feel like I'm flying." I said with a smile.
Michael and me swung at the same speed.
"Wanna have a jumping competition?" Michael grinned.
I thought back to when Luke and I were at the park and we got on the swing set and had our own jumping competition. After the jumping competition Luke and I had we went and got ice cream.
It was the best ice cream I'd ever had; not because of the good the ice cream tasted, but because of the person I got to be with while enjoying the ice cream.
Luke.
